Laudna messages Orym | Laura Pranks Liam | Frog Strongbone | Critical Role C3E2 Highlights

The fact that entirely unprompted the cast decided that Laudna was going to Voice of Cognouza messages was brilliant

[@nickthedreamer4434]

I honestly just greatly appreciate how Travis, the guy that gets scared easily, is the one that starts (what's undoubtedly going to be) the ever going dissonant whispers version Laudna Message.

[@rhylin26]

Thank you for respecting the “embargo”! It’s annoying the new channels trying to capitalize on the C3 hype by posting before the KZbin release.

[@Shackapalooza2010]

Yea that's all good tho, they are making Amazon money now lol. They are big enough now that any good videos with their content is free advertising drawing people in.

[@diarya5573]

@@Shackapalooza2010 Fair, but when they've put up a very explicit and generous policy out there, it's a shitty thing to ignore it. It's the principle of Critter respecting the IP of Critical role, and Critical role appreciating that and giving us the creative space to make our art.

[@Shackapalooza2010]

@@diarya5573 I'd agree if it were a different format but with their faces and names and character draw being the pliable editing footage it's harder to disassociate creators and content then some "I made this" repost of another creators content. While I do agree with you on the "spoilers" principal, alot of fans, including myself, see and get entertained by the shorts and find out through them. That said I don't know how much longer they will be able to keep the lid on it once Vox Machina hits. If that blows up prepare for Crit role highlights x10000% haha

Laudna is honestly the best character just because of marishas acting and full immersion into the character, even the movement she does are spot on.

[@SkoloT]

Everyone looked so amazing, but Laura(Mathew) and Robbie(Laura) may have been my fav. But they were all so great

[@iCorpseBride]

Laura looked more like Robbie than Robbie. 😂

[@NicoNeilson]

omgggg

[@savingpyro]

Confirms Laura is either a Ditto, a shapeshifter, or knows Disguise Self irl.

[@Drekromancer]

That's just because she's arguably the best actor at a table of actors. All of them are talented in different ways, but I would argue that Laura and Matt have by far the widest range. Laura can pull almost ANY angle and sell it all day. And I LOVE that about her. 😁

[@Boundwithflame23]

Well that’s because Robbie was Matt

[@ErikEinherjar66]

I love seeing them back at the table. The intimacy of being that close again; you can tell they missed it. I was so hesitant leading into this season, but I have truly enjoyed every second so far and I think it has to do with seeing a bunch of tight knit friends sitting around the table again playing the game they love. I think that’s truly how I got hooked to CR.

[@Lady_Ginnie]

"Oh, he's totally out of the loop, it's quite adorable." I don't know why that tickles me so much, lol. I chuckle every time.

[@teehlfx5238]

Does anyone remember Liam… or maybe Sam? mentioning on Talks at some point that making an Inspector Gadget character would be cool? I feel like I have that memory but have no chance of finding it… but it seems FCG with all the detachable parts and gizmos would certainly fit that. Does anyone else remember that off hand comment?
