"Thaumaturgy" - Critical Role // Animatic

[@Shrikeswind]

I like to imagine that a couple people in the tavern were running around the carnival wondering where her show was.

[@Introbulus]

Probably came a bit later on. You know. They just couldn't stay for that part.

[@randomdragon6299]

Was probably after the devil toad act

[@hadifalex]

man, that's adorable!

[@ooccttoo]

There is nothing I love more than the trope of a tiefling PC introducing themselves by casting Thaumaturgy and it being generally quite awkward because they hyped up their amazing magical powers or it just flat out isn't appropriate for the situation. Reminds me of when my first PC, an NG tiefling rogue, cast Thaumaturgy to show off to the party's wizard. I really wish the DM hadn't cancelled the campaign before we got to 3rd level which would have allowed me to unleash Hellish Rebuke and be all "who's magically handicapped now??!?"

[@arolurker3511]

That reminded me of my first campaign when a tiefling PC cast Thaumaturgy to trick my drunk-as-shit half-orc PC into leaving a tavern before I started a fight. Also it's really weird and also amazing that this trope is a Thing, apparently.

[@PositiveBlackSoul]

My Tiefling Barb usesThaumaturgy at the beginning of every fight to make her voice boom across the battlefield. She also was the commander of a Merc Unit once, where that also came in quite handy.

[@FantasyAngel-zj7bw]

Thaumaturgy's uses- quantity over quality.

[@welcometopieces6462]

I used that to introduce myself the first time I played dnd 💀I yelled at a poor dwarf lady

[@DissectingThoughts]

I made a tiefling wizard, but I didn't choose any combat spells at first level. I wanted to be useful in a fight we had with some goblins and wanted to help out our paladin who was fighting one of them. So I made a branch behind the goblin scream. In the paladin's voice. For a whole minute.

[@BlueScarabGuy]

Jester is amazing.

[@BigMikeMcBastard]

I just started watching campaign 2 -- just finished 1 -- and yeah, she's stealing the show. Laura was funny but Vex was boring in campaign 1. Now Laura and her character get to be funny. Good change.

[@Codeman70000]

Amazing. The art in this matches it so well, my favorite part is Beau appluding at the end :p

[@apricattart]

Codeman70000 Thank you! (That part was a lot of fun to draw!!)

[@elgostine]

to add to my growing appeal of jester a few days ago was sydney supanova, one of our conventions, and in the artist ally was a woman dressed as jester with fake horns and blue facepaint and it was wonderful and even better, i turned to my friend who i had shown this clip but who otherwise isnt much for d&d and was referencing it when the artist piped up and said 'that wasnt me, it was just very windy that day'

[@fist-of-doom487]

I don’t know what that accent is but I love it.

[@CruxVIII]

RedTheBard it's actually Romanian

[@ChronoTriggerHappy]

its Tali reincarnated as a lovable teifling cleric

[@lars7935]

Fuck you. Now I can't unhear it as Tali.

[@rettwoods]

Generally speaking, it's Eastern European. That cluster of countries between Germany and Asia/Russia.

[@KickyFut]

It's Gru... Totally Gru from the Despicable Me movies...😓

[@Hellscrap3r]

I love this interpretation of Jester. The wide, almost Animal-Crossing-like eyes really suit her, I love it.

[@elgostine]

the accent makes the character in many ways id say, the exotic (to us western people) accent compliments the nonhuman teifling, and the voice really fits the cheerful demeanor of said tiefling\

[@thepip3599]

One time I met somebody from Quebec and their voice sounded just like hers, so maybe it’s a French Canadian accent. (I’m Canadian, but live in Ontario and don’t interact with people from other provinces very often, so I don’t know.)

[@johndoe5432]

It strikes me as more of a Slavic/Baltic accent.

[@The5lacker]

I think she’s going for Draenei, which... aren’t DISSIMILAR to Tiefling.

[@johndoe5432]

@@The5lacker Draenei are the source of the best r34 tbh.

[@XenQ7]

Your animatics are my favorite. The characters facial expressions and timing of the storyboards is just perfect with each sequence. Thank you

[@SangoSon12]

Not familiar with Critical Rolls at all, but this animation makes me want to check them out.
