Beyond the Table: Chapter 1 - The Gift (Critical Role Docuseries)

[@JRCollections]

Hello!! Thank you for all the support on this series so far! Big note: I am aware that Percy was a gunslinger because of Pathfinder and then they home-brewed it for 5e when they switched. I will make this correction in the final! If you would like to support this series you can check out my Patreon: www.patreon.com/jrcollections Thanks again!!

[@Fran-bl2lz]

It helps pull the story together when you realize that Tal played a Blue Dragonborn Paladin in that first game. Since he was supposed to direct the new players, the paladin was created to be a leader who could move the story forward and keep people on track. He dropped that character for Percy when the game continued. Also, thank you for doing this!

[@JRCollections]

@@Fran-bl2lz As far as we know, there is no confirmation on what color the dragonborn Taliesin played was, we know he had a cold breath but because of the 4th Edition they played, there is no way to confirm the type of dragon he played

[@adambradford-west2071]

Amazing content, thanks for the insight roll! 😂😊

[@scatz4994]

i love this. the marisha haters that say that Marisha was "only in the game because she's the DM's gf" they can all put it in their asses. Marisha knew how to play and she guided the newbies.

[@TheDurdane]

What?!! I love Marisha! WTF!

[@jacksoninc.4062]

I bet Marisha was somewhat forced to the game by the group bcs "Hey, you knew how to play, why don't you play with us too?" and Matt just allowed it If she hadn't, we wouldn't get the legendary 6 mins laugh 💀💀💀

[@ravenburns6600]

They literally met at a D&D game on a podcast lol

[@trautsj]

Seldom was someone so insanely right about "The best thing we ever did" as Liam was in that now VERY iconic clip/moment.

[@aBrokenShard]

I know right!

[@missoxymoronaddict]

I was struck by something Troy Baker said while doing the LOVM watchalongs, that no matter when you started watching , you found Critical Role at the right time in your life when you needed it. That made me tear up, because over the past year this group and these stories have meant a tremendous amount to me over a very stressful time in my life, and have been a source of comfort in my life when everything else is falling apart. I don’t play D&D, but I am very grateful to have found these people when I needed them. Thank you very much for capturing their story in such a beautiful way.

[@CodeNY]

Damn this comment made me well up a bit. Well said ❤

[@Lexicophage]

Right there with you... Though CR did also help get me back into D&D.

[@spaceman9599]

Wasn't around for those watchalongs but deeply appreciate hearing this - my sentiments entirely. This was something of a lifebuoy for me too and rekindled my passion for storytelling and RP.

[@timothyjuvet4073]

Same here. I was in a very dark place in March 2022, on long term disability for mental health, and found Mighty Nein. Got me thru the worst of it, and kept me from having the darkest of thoughts of suicide at bay. I will be forever grateful for CR

[@rakuloe]

This is beautiful because I started watching Critical somewhere in March and I indeed found it in a difficult time. It's been an absolute blast to watch the episodes even though i need to catch up on a lot of episodes on the third campaign and hopefully one day also all the one-shots and the complete campaign 1 and 2. Felt bad for discovering them so late, but maybe it just was the perfect timing.

[@theamazingwam7998]

Critical Role is one of those shows where the backstory to its inception REALLY MATTERS and IMPROVES the shows to a whole new level. The fact that its success hangs so much in the balance of so many factors: two friends starting a podcast, a fellow voice actor who honed their DM skills for a couple decades before meeting them, those same actors being close enough friends for one to DM as a birthday gift (a quite unusual gift), a widely available and popular live streaming platform, multiple famous actors agreeing to come together for a private game between them, a rumor of this private game floating around the entertainment industry finding its way to Felicia Day, Felicia Day herself working at the underdog of media companies; Geek & Sundry during this time and having the power within that company to make these decisions and pull some strings (would many other people other than Felicia make such a decision to host Critical Role as their flagship product?), a never before seen type of media content for many people (many have tried, many have failed), garnering an audience with huge crossover of interests in all the projects the actors have been apart of and also D&D, the right content creators on KZbin picking up on Critical Role's success to revitalize D&D for content creation, in turn bringing more and more success to the show. Its genuinely mad to think about all the coincidences that had to align perfectly for Critical Role to succeed for as long as it has. Even if Critical Role starts dropping in viewership to the point of failure it has a legacy that is intrinsically tied to D&D.

[@justingonzalez3832]

I first got into CR during a VERY dark period of my life, and in fact ended up changing it. It is because of CR that I decided to be a voice actor, and years later I just got my first gig under my belt, I'm in a much better headspace, and life is pretty great.

[@JRCollections]

That is so awesome to hear!

[@matthewblanchard9805]

Quick correction: Matt and Liam did not homebrew the Gunslinger class. The home game was using Pathfinder first edition which featured the Gunslinger class in the book Ultimate Combat. When they made the switch from PF1 to D&D 5e they had to homebrew a conversion of the Gunslinger for 5e so that Taliesin could continue playing Percy.

[@JRCollections]

Yes! This is a big detail I will fix

[@taylor65712]

Correct, excellent catch, they were a Pathfinder group all the way up to G&S. They never played 4th edition.

[@JRCollections]

@@taylor65712 They actually did play 4th edition in their very first session. But switched to Pathfinder right after that

[@taylor65712]

​@@JRCollectionsCorrect, sorry I should of clarified, I meant during stream time etc, not counting the one home game👍

[@ChaoticTabris]

Immediately went to point that. This is probably why Ashley picked Sarenrae as he goddess as well. The game started with 4e and generally uses the pantheon that was default to that edition but when Ashley joined they were already playing Pathfinder and she probably saw Sarenrae in the Core Rulebook. Matt even hoped that Paizo would let them use Sarenrae when the original Tal'Dore Campaign Setting was released (Since Paizo is way more open to collaboration than WoTC) but Paizo declined.

[@TPBurrow]

Amazing work, incredible edit, this must have taken ages to put together. Well done JR, we love you very much ♥

[@aBrokenShard]

Agree!

[@brettbishop]

Gorgeous. Love watching good people make it big. Expecting big things from you, JR.

[@InanDante]

I'm one of the old guard, i think I followed them from around episode 12-13, after scrolling through some G&S videos, usually watching Wil Wheaton's board game series. So this hits hard. I'll never stop saying, season 1 is the best story ever told in any sort of medium, with all its ups and downs. Just chills every time a reference is made to it. They deserve all praise.

[@99allthetime]

Man the sound on those first 8 episodes was brutal. Good times

[@Mankofa]

I was like "ok, I think I know everything about how they started, I wonder if there will be any new facts for me here..." And then I learned the birthday oneshot took place half a year after Liam's birthday?!? Wow Good job, amazing video 💖

[@brentm9848]

It's remarkable how central CR has become to my life. I found it last September and started watching Season 2. I'm well over 110 episodes in, and have watched many of the one-shots, and side series as well. It's a near daily presence in my life and the characters have brought me back to playing D&D with my wife - adding a lot to my real life. I can't wait to start Season 3 in a month or two and also see where they go for season 4.

[@JRCollections]

That is so awesome!! They really have been so impactful to so many people!

[@azimuth2003]

Boy have you got a lot to look forward to ..... Season 3 first 9 episodes will blow you away for immersive story telling (and plenty of laughs along the way) oh and don't forget to watch 'Exandria unlimited CALAMITY' that's a four part masterpiece with Brennan lee mulligan at the helm

[@patrikbengtsson9388]

A friend of mine have tried for ages to get me to listen to it. But it wasn't until mind Jan of this year that I started and now I can't stop. I've just started episode 100 on campaign 2. So it's fast pace for me. I do 2-4 episodes a day! And I just love it!!!

[@JRCollections]

@@patrikbengtsson9388 I used to be like that when I first discover them, I am jealous of that, used to watch several episodes a day and now Im struggling to catch up on season 3 haha

[@NoRAdAlphaMoo]

Is it Thursday yet?

[@ilfurlano1228]

7:28 - minor mistake: Gunslinger was an official class in Pathfinder. The homebrew was for early 5e.

[@CinnamonQuills]

As someone who only picked up watching the livestream with the current (third) campaign with Bell's Hells, it's wild to see them so excited about playing in the beginning. But how could Liam's role of Illidan in World of Warcraft and Hearthstone go without a mention? YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!

[@JRCollections]

Haha nooo! I’m sorry for not mentioning them! I will try to throw them in the final

[@Orodben]

That's exactly what i thought wenn all his archievements were listed. It is such an iconic vg trailer!

[@Rydiggity]

Wonderful video. I've been watching them live since campaign 2 ep1 after I saw Sam crying at the table I had to know why and was hooked. Never knew Vox Machina meant Voice Machine in Latin. That's a great catch.

[@Davlen]

There is a gentleman who is also important to thier early days, Zach Eubank. The producer and runner for geek & sundre. Some of his early advice shaped the future for them going forward

[@SaulFemm]

Overlord! Snugglelord!

[@angrybirdboy985]

Percy's class wasn't customised by Matt, the Gunslinger class is an actual class in Pathfinder. Matt had to make a custom archetype for the Fighter when they moved over to 5e

[@JRCollections]

Yes! This was something I realized after my recording, it will be in the final version!

[@OneWingedAngelsBand]

Has the Critical Role cast seen this? They should. This is amazing, keep it up. 🙂

[@ClemFandango48]

@@zeebzeebo Which is why C1 will always hold a special place for me. The campaigns that followed became more polished, less low-brow humour, more "corporate" as you put it. I stopped watching midway through C2 and haven't gone back.

This is well made. I thought I already had the behind-the-curtain look from reading "The World of Critical Role: The History Behind the Epic Fantasy," but your docuseries style adds a lot to the immersion of their story. Also great to see old footage for where they came from, even back to G&S days. Well done!

[@busy_raccooon]

... I'm very sure you can't tell me anything new, but it's still fun to watch compiled like this :)) thanks for all the work

[@eponatwospirithorse4980]

Thank you so much for this, it has brought back such good memories. I too played when I was younger, I am an older lady now but for 14 years I also owned a FLGS I played TTRPGs including D&D in fact my first playing was back in 1976 with the original white box set that I still own. At some point I left Gaming behind as a regular hobby but my head was always still "in the clouds" I reconnected with D&D back in 2013 when I began running my 4E Campaign that ran for 8 years, I can well remember watching other playthrough games in particular a "West Marches" style campaign on "it's JPS" with Stephen Lumpkin as their DM. I was also a great fan of Felicia Day's "The Guild" series and that lead to be discovering CR pretty much from the beginning for which I am ever thankful. Watching Matt helped me to improve some elements of my own home game, my voice acting for multiple characters, for one. Covid/Lockdown gave our game a break and lost us a couple of players, but during this time I decided that if I was going to form a new party of players, around the core of my old players, that I would transition our rule system over to 5E, and expensive decision as I also discovered KickStarter. Every step of the way I have had Critical Role as a template for the style of storytelling game that I like to play and run, rather than the hack and slash that had been part of my earliest experience as a youngster. Whilst I was still going to be a story teller Matt and crew helped bolster my own view that there was more to D&D than just hack and slash, though I love that the game allows for all these styles of play. I encourage the frustrated actor within all my players, two recent additions being players who actually only came into D&D as a result of CR. For me CR has allowed for a Renaissance in TTRPGs by hugely growing the player base, and I'll be honest allowing we DMs to be far more picky about who we have seated around our table. So once again thank you to you for taking us back to the beginning of this remarkable show that has given so many of us so very many hours of pleasure (close to 1000 hours by my reckoning) and has given access to an outlet from the craziness of the real world in which we live.

[@JRCollections]

What a lovely story, thank you for sharing!

[@genuinepatrick]

Thanks for making this. It really is a treat to remember where all this came from. Good luck with the future episodes!

[@TheLostpapers]

Beautifully done, you grasped definitely what was the spark that ignited the whole phenomenom. I discovered CR when first campaign juste finished, and it took me 2 years and a half to be able to follow the show weekly, but this is a decision i won't ever regret. I'm amazed how they passion was transmitted to so many people around the world and yet still they stay so humble. You're a fine example on how they inspire, as this first episode is definitely top notch. Please continue.

[@chad8767]

Thanks for putting this together, it's well researched and well done. A lot of this info many of us have collected from so many different places and so it's nice to see if finally all put together like this.

Totally sobbed. Thank you so much. I can feel you coming from a place of love & appreciation for them which is important to me & I relate to deeply. They have impacted my life in so many ways. Inspired me, gotten me through some really rough patches. I've watched every campaign at least once. I've also been a D&D (and other TTRPG) player for many years so it's goodness on so many levels. (I'm going to immediately send this link to our home game's text thread LOL). Well done! Looking forward to more.

This is legitimately awesome. Like, I kept my bar low but you’ve made something so easy to listen through, engaging to watch, and it’s got loads of awesome research involved already!

[@Trevbot789]

I found CR about 5 years ago. My daughter was in the hospital fo4 a rather long time. And me and my wife would just sit around the hospital room, basically living there. And I decided to go down to a LGS and look around for a TTRPG. I had played DnD before but I'd never DMed. So the guy at the store suggested I watch Matt Mercers how to DM videos to learn quickly and gain some ideas. After that, I watched a one shot he ran for some folks and stumbled upon CR that way. And now I've ran several campaigns. And have watched basically all of CRs content several times over. Currently rewatching C2+talks for the 3rd time through. And I've never regretted a single hour

[@bennieboi20]

Well done. Thank you. They changed my life and the lives of my children. I appreciate your time and passion as a fellow Critter. I am a Basic and AD&D veteran who introduced 5e to my kids in 2015. Campaign 1 and Vox Machina coincided with their new relationships with D&D. Our table and love for each other while playing feels similar to CR and we’ve watched VM, MN and HB along with the animated series.

[@WhyseWytch]

This is not something you said that was wrong but something they said in one of the very early Q&A streams with Felicia Day.
