I love how Sam once made a joke (I dont recall when, but I think it was during the guest-character battle royal) about making a warlock who’s patron was advertising/sponsors, and low and fucking behold the man finds a way to not only do so but make it canon.

[@Raichulula]

Sam is a genius. I love him. He could take any throwaway joke and make it into something deep and nuanced.

[@noone-ld7pt]

@@Raichulula And the momenty he has you enthralled and emotionally invested he will pull the rug out under you with a shill advertisment. He's the fucking best.

[@arianewinter4266]

@@Raichulula every singe joke around nott turned out to be deep and heartbraking in retrospect

[@bdletoast09]

Well, considering he got an Archfey Pact, his patron is likely Elmenore. So, not a sponsor.

[@Notbatman374]

plot twist, Sam's not playing a character. he's an actual changeling and this is how he tells us.

[@jeroen92]

A changeling with only two accents, his normal voice and a slightly younger version of his voice.

[@SleepStarvedNerd]

Honestly? This tracks 😅

[@LordAaronus]

we just witnessed Sam's final form

[@gabegrether8647]

We thought he reached it when he was doing his nonsense ads for CashApp, but it seems we ain't seen nothing yet.

[@AzureMichael]

I love the way Sam turned his ad bits into an actual character

[@stonecoldku4161]

"face starts to quiver and..." Everyone: Oh man so close to a "shiver and quiff" reference.

[@gabegrether8647]

"Feel free to keep taunting the DM, man. There are way more enemies that spit acid."

[@stonecoldku4161]

@@gabegrether8647 I'm not taunting the DM. I'm just asking the DM to have a sense of humor about himself. DM: Rocks fall. Everyone dies. ...Apparently that was too much to ask.

[@dmservetus42]

I love Aabria's reactions and expressions, knowing that they had already set up Sam's character as her ex, but this was probably the first time she was seeing the character in his broadcast mode.

[@bethanylittle5629]

Sam really said “I’m going to play myself” and here we are. Lololol

[@SonofOrion42]

Sam and Brennan really brought their deep showbiz industry experience to this role.

[@VincentWinkler]

3:30 Note how Travis looks at Brennan when Sam emphasizes a "pinch of turbulence". Pinch is the nickname of Travis's character.

[@jaxxsor]

great catch

[@deathwrow9652]

Also note how Brennan immediately also makes a look in response

[@Frostbite08]

3:45 That look from Luis when Loquatius mentioned the spell glue that sticks to what it's told to was hilarious. That was a legitimate "I want that to be real."

[@xXSakuraTearsXx]

Loquatius is totally going to be reading actual sponsorships for the stream, at some point, surely? The vibes in his News Report completely match Sam’s usual & amazingly unique Sponsorship Scripts & vibes- for sure! I could totally see them starting every stream with his News Reports & having the actual Sponsorships showing up in game. I might be a bit late to eXu- but I still hope.!

[@elbruces]

That would put the sponsors canonically *into* Exandria... interesting.

[@gconnor18]

I now hope we see loquatius at Halloween not FCG cause r that would be amazing

[@esdraskuhn8896]

Sam and Brennan bounce off each other sooooooo well

[@queenblacc4579]

Sam has an energy very similar to Brennan’s usual table, just slightly toned down lol.

[@Noobie2k7]

@@queenblacc4579 Yeah, I'd honestly love to see Sam in a full Dimension 20 campaign. These EXU's are kind of a halfway house which is great, some of my favourite campaigns. I'd just love to see Sam fully off the leash with some of D20's absolute high chaos.

[@artor9175]

It sounds like Sam is playing Jeff Goldblum as the Grandmaster.

[@DevilGeneImbued]

Instantly in love with the character, I am fascinated with Loquatius and the presentation. Damn, he just might be Sam’s most instantly captivating character

[@dtar3844]

Stuttering over the word loquacious in a public announcement is perfect

[@davidhodgson1011]

Seeing Abriah's reactions to Loquatius after the fact are a spoiler in and of themselves

[@bobbylarge7184]

i saw brennan mirroring sam's script with his lips and i could tell how proud he was haha. what a great intro!

[@callaranjones5345]

5:46 THE NEWS!!! WE LOVE THE NEWS!!!!

[@WisdomThumbs]

My young cousin's a huge Critfan (Critter?), and for a pirates oneshot in my setting he made a changeling. None of the players found out he was a changeling woman until his character went unconscious in the oneshot's boss-fight. In the sequel, his changeling designed the saltwater potions that broke the pirates out of their fountain-induced brainwashings. The kid is Sam Reigel personified, even when he's too busy to talk during a game. Chaos.

[@togipoogaming3775]

the manifestation of sam's shillness and ego and petiness/ trolling into one character ❤️❤️ love it

[@UncooperativeMultiplayer]

Loquacious Seelie.. just the name says it all but Sam just makes the idea come to life!

[@DaveTh3Ninja]

I need a Wand of Thaumaturgy for every bard from here on out. Perfect magic item is perfect. It just amplifies your voice for a minute and recasts automatically as long as the button is still pressed.

[@theinfernalfae]

Let's be real for a second sam is amazing! And his character's are always fun and kind of the comedic relief with a darkside and these types of character's are my favorite! And i notice some people have expressed that sam should just stick to being the funny guy ! But i'm love to see him play a serious character! He's a talented actor and I honestly think seeing him get serious would be interesting!

[@Dung30n]

What i love about this clip is the improv, the convo cant all be scripted.

[@worldeater2414]

Sam's new character is just Ruby from the Fifth Element

[@OutlawWalker]

Said the same thing on the actual episode

[@squallloire]

I think it's more based on Stanley Tucci's character in The Hunger Games (I forget the name), partly because he also often uses the "Bob Barker" microphone, but particularly because of the purple hair and "golden" skin

[@RedLuigiGames]

So, Sam is playing Sam. Good to know.

[@GREATLORDWHITE]

Reminds me of the alternate universe taryon he did in that one shot

[@PureGoldNeverCorrodes]

Garyon Garrington, with his Golem Groty.

[@charlesgroome4467]

I've loved all of the characters for different reasons but this one just sings to me.

[@michaelliggett1622]

I see what Sam did with the last name of his character changeling at least in mythology is a type of fae and seelie is a classification of a fae

[@Abyssal86]

First name means "well spoken"

[@lag00n54]

i mean his character is also a Member of the Seelie Court and from the Feywilde so ye

[@selena-9841]

I had been thinking about playing a changeling for more than a year so when Sam revealed his character I literally SCREAMED

[@amberberry_]

I've been procrastinating on watching the vod but I really need see the first episode now

[@ZeroHxC07]

Man I wish his capaign 3 character would have been this one. Hell, he could do the sponsorships in game.

[@samuelleijerstam9575]

I mean Loquatius is a lv 14 character, they're always going to be more interesting than an early-game char

[@carlotaperes1031]

I love this guy, but FCG is SO good

[@Rub-A-Duck]

@@samuelleijerstam9575 It has nothing to do with level, just that charisma based race + class + personality is perfect for Sam, I would say.

[@devinspencer1678]

@@Rub-A-Duck Yeah, but he's already played Scanlan as the vain, charismatic character.

[@Rub-A-Duck]

@@devinspencer1678 ye I know that but that doesn't change the point. I didn't say that I dislike FCG, it's just that certain character have a better harmony with certain players.

6:13 I love Marisha's and Travis's reaction to Loquatius's real voice after the broadcast.

[@jocelynfisher3174]

Why are they reacting so hard?

[@watchinghh]

It's like he just freed himself to make a character based on pure fun and I'm here for it.

[@TonytheCapeGuy]

I am SO pumped for this series.

[@ThomasUfnalCrowlake]

I wonder how much of the speech was on the piece of paper and whether Brennan wrote that or if that's a collaboration

[@vykos28]

This is too meta for my head to comprehend

[@operatoncreation6396]

i can't wait, 20 more minutes until Thursday... jesus... this is such a thing

[@acm4bass]

Look they are all talented, but can you imagine having to follow that planned execution...jeez. Sam likes the through the gauntlet, Travis likes to push the Button.

[@samuelstensgaard4828]

This is Sam's best character, full stop. Uses his natural charisma and mastery of bard spells, but instead of being annoying and horny like Scanlan, he's a masterful deceiver who also loves very deeply.

[@gamernerd1992]

my new fave for sure

[@jackdog06]

If this gets animated (and I pray to god it does) I hope this scene is done during establishing shots of Avalir and that it is a total fakeout where it seems to be following a random npc through the city before revealing the news reporter in the background is the character we’re following

[@mikedawe692]

Glorious. They all topped everything else that I’d seen them in. D&D taken to the next level, storytelling at its fastest, sharpest and its finest. Still blows me away.

[@gefiltafish2187]

Sam is the only reason I cannot listen to critical role while training. Whenever he speaks I just gotta physically watch it. How is he not an actor in films? Even though same can be said about a lot of the others like Laura.

[@tourguidebarbie2691]

Did anyone else picture Chris Tucker in the Fifth Element when same was describing Loquatius? Lol

[@squallloire]

I'm thinking more Stanley Tucci's TV personality character from The Hunger Games

[@Shaderox]

Reminds me a lot of "hes character" the time he DM:ed a 1 shot, don't remember what the announcers name was that time.

[@oldm4nl1qu1d2]

Would love to see apex created by Fortiche Studios. The art style is somewhat close to Arcane as it is. Not sure it will happen since I'm sure Fortiche is probably neck deep in Arcane season 2 but still would be awesome.

[@AVspectre]

Does one need to have seen the other Exandria series before viewing this one?

[@DarkAnon100]

not exactly, it takes place before the Calamity before the Divine Gate even existed, so WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY before Campaign 1 or any Critical Role campaign. it's basically a prequel

[@jaimeruiz7837]

No

They're from Dimension 20, brought in as guests because Brennan was also guest starring as the DM for this miniseries.

[@Havok135]

Hmm. I’ve seen Travis in tears an this was far from it lol

[@wyattfrye8262]

It’s just a different version of Scanlan. Less involved with music and more of the salesman and still a f boy except now he’s bad at it and is divorced. Different characters with all the same alignment, attitude, and mannerisms. Now let’s see who removes this comment this time

[@jessie-ht7bc]

it is a bard, he is partially a bard. This is like what most bards are like even in homegames. Sam however clearly can be more than just a bard as he has shown with nott/ veth and FCG.

[@GiantDivineMoth]

There are def similar themes as they're both bards, but imo I'd hardly say it's a different version of Scanlan. Also what's with the weird energy you're bringing 😆 you came into the comments with a very sedate opinion, no need to be so defensive lol

[@jessie-ht7bc]

@@GiantDivineMoth the similarity is mostly in how popular, social and charismatic they seem. But like that is logical because bards just have/ need a high charisma score. It is like saying two wizards have the same feel because they are both so intelligent/ knowledgeadble. While you can play the classes in a way that is not stereotypical and make for example a very shy and anxious bard, most of the times you end up with at least a little stereotypical of a character. This person has a right to an opinion and may believe they are the same character, they are just so defensive about it which makes me want to react to it lol.

[@wyattfrye8262]

@@jessie-ht7bc I play a heavy metal bard that’s not interested in women and is not a salesman, just wants to list to some headbangers while killing demons and dragons. I also have a misandrist vampire bard that try’s her best to manipulate her way to the top and to live her best succubus. Bards can be played differently

[@wyattfrye8262]

@@GiantDivineMoth I’m only defensive, because ik how this fanbase is. You try to call out one of the these players for poor decision making or poor memory or stereotyping or character concepts that simply not fun to watch. You usually get called all the isms and ists you can think of.
