The Cast of Critical Role Answer Questions from Fans

[@plaguepenguin]

"depending on how much they fund the Kickstarter..." Lol if they only knew...

[@jesterssketchbook]

spongebob card: 12 million dollars laterrrrr

[@Richer_97]

7:00 He did not know yet but it was the dust of deliciousness

[@MeanMartian]

Or the "Oops"-stones.... Can´t wait for Laura to go ham with those badboys.

[@EternalEyeIX]

@@MeanMartian lol

[@ravenna6543]

@@MeanMartian They gotta make -5 modifier for npc perception checks at least. Just sayin'.

[@MeanMartian]

@@ravenna6543 Yeah that sounds good and i would probably rule it as a diminished stinking cloud i.e. you can take your movement action atleast and if you attack while in the cloud you got like a -2 to hit as well (Hard to hit something when your eyes are tearing up with fartgas) 💯👌🏻😁

[@IceMetalPunk]

Ohhhhh, okay! I'm a new critter (just started watching for EXU and now C3), so all I know about older campaigns has been from random clip compilations. I didn't realize this was before Jester's Muffin, and all I could think was, "How did he not say the dust of deliciousness?!" 😂

[@argella1300]

The College of Tragedy bard is literally just Hamlet

[@tweedi1337]

The silent „Im actually writing that down“ from Matt made me smile the rest of the day... he sounds so excited

[@Noah-kg4yj]

the fact that he did, and that it's in the new source book is AMAZING

[@mistaMClaugh]

Liam: Matt, can Beau get it? Matt: *translated* You can certainly try

[@DrHerculesReal]

I missed that. Which part?

[@mistaMClaugh]

23:20

[@cheeselord3655]

That Mollymauk lore drop hinted at by Taliesin is probably the Eyes of Nine

[@Cybercoin]

Definitely.

[@mohammedtahmid6718]

College of tragedy is basically just break up and emo songs

[@hollowcat6756]

Evenessence.

[@GeeGe.]

I read your comment and thought to reply "well, it's more like Shakespearean stuff" but didn't want to be a party pooper. Then I got to that question and Marisha said it for me. haha 2:56

[@RobPsy]

you are allowed to only play PATD and Green day songs

[@OneHatEllie]

24:53 I love it when Sam starts talking himself into a corner and Liam ALWAYS turns toward him like that, like, please continue.

[@darwinjaevidavin8916]

2:50 The first college of tragedy bard was definitely Orpheus

[@NightWing1800]

Mr. Hermes learned a thing or two from that boy

[@kyokonightstorm5844]

Matt: "I May have to Homebrew a College of Tragedy, just to make it fit the theme." ... "I am legititmatly writing that down. it's mine, none of you take it." [off mic]: "I'm actually writing it down." So that's why Liam was in the ad for the College of Tragedy subclass. It makes so much sense now, and I sort of want to see Liam play that, even it it was just in a one shot.

[@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEll]

A one-shot would be perfect, because that way Liam could really pull out all the stops. (Not that the main campaign characters can't be and haven't been pretty.... extreme.... but there's a certain level of restraint that comes with having to fit into a longer narrative and getting along (more or less) with the rest of the party over time.) I would love either an Oops! All Bards or a theatrical troupe theme with play-within-the-play shenanigans.

[@Zach010ROBLOX]

After the items question, "That glue came in HANDy"

[@docnevyn5814]

cough dustofdeliciousness cough

[@zelamorre1126]

That glue ended up being used way more than I thought it would when they got it.

[@MasumiSeike]

13:10 Matt got so red after what he said 🤣

[@bu1ba5aur19]

He essentially said “yeah id have a threesome/get cucked by my wife’s imaginary friend”

[@zedbee2736]

Ah, the before-fore times, back when we could sit on a couch together

[@KickyFut]

...and share microphones!😅

[@WolfMoon173]

Holy, I had no idea the College of Tragedy Subclass came from this panel?!? It was a joke and he legit made it real. Maybe my fave subclass from the recent campaign guide update. Amazing.

[@Ailieorz]

A Shakespearean bard would be amazing, just extra dramatic all the time and absolutely MADE for Liam

[@fin-as-drago9479]

He actually made it in the tal doori reborn book.

[@davebenhart4611]

From Matt's answer regarding magic items given to PCs, this was clearly before Jester and the Hag Dust of Deliciousness event.

[@thealmanancy9020]

Right, when did this event I've been hearing so much about happen?

[@remermagic]

They need to start naming these Q&A panels "quizzical role"

[@yew2oob954]

I was going to give you a thumbs up but currently, it's at 69...my inner Scanlan won't allow me to change it.

[@remermagic]

@@yew2oob954 respectable

[@samminicksm]

“WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO INVOKE MY WRATH!?”

[@Slipgatex]

I imagine the immovable rod is now replaced with the Dust of Deliciousness for Matt's favorite item given

[@mattdaly9553]

the faint "awe" from the crowd when Travis kisses Laura on the head sums it up for me

[@SkylordXander]

I see a few comments about other events and things in the campaign, so I wanted to leave this as a reference. This was the morning after the succubus fight where Beu got the Lightning Gauntlets, and Caleb almost died but kept getting pulled back up. Also Nott killed Cad with an explosive bolt. Even better about this event was that most of us were in that same room the night before watching the episode on the big screen live. Approx March of 2019, I've been waiting for this for over a year.

[@stacia114]

[Critical Role Spoilers, current] "There was a little bit of a lore drop that I gave him that I'm sure he threaded into a bunch of stuff. That I'm really hoping to get to even now. If we wander into the right place at the right time..." OH TALIESIN. Eyes of Nine. Nonagon.

[@alvintollah]

Makes you question which is originally Taliesin and which is Matt's addition...

[@Anew522]

DUDE! I was just thinking about saying something about that! That's so cool that watching it now perfectly coincides with what he said.

[@goodfeathasoutdoors6410]

So...did Talison just confirm that Molly has something to do with this whole “9 eyes thing”?

[@TexYMatt98]

I mean, when he was alive it was the only thing of his background that we knew.

[@Noah-kg4yj]

Friendly reminder that Matt DID right that college of tragedy bard down and wrote it as a new subclass in the new taldorei books and it's incredible

[@kaekaeno]

"I may have to homebrew College of Tragedy" aged well 👌🏻

[@Niyack]

I feel like Liam was not prepared for Matt's College of Tragedy idea

[@Ask4This]

16:00 How is this man so pure and wholesome??

[@Bobbadelic]

Aww Tallesin saying he likes starting a campaign in a locked room with no idea how you got there, that reminds me of danganronpa or the zero escape series, it's such a fun trope

[@kickasterisk6155]

"COLLEGE OF TRAGEDY THOUGH, CAN YOU THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

[@Ashtarte3D]

I was expecting Matt to say the best thing he's given the group for a wild time was the necklace that held Trinket. Having Grog come flying out of the ring to drop on Kevdak and cleaving him in half.

[@RudeGoat]

Matt's favorite item?... And then the dust deliciousness months later

[@Indian0Lore]

And now the glue....

[@Pistol-ve6ji]

I would love it if they had the Honey Heist crew in they background in animated series. Little cut scenes traveling through the woods, ducking down as the wagon or party passes by.

[@alpha_lizard810]

This just makes me miss the live shows.

[@jetvulcan2020]

I love that both Laura and Marisha are one character best friends the other I'd, like for the first 15 minutes then it would just be Please Stop just stop.

[@petersenior5432]

"if you want to know how freaking weird all of us are" hey, they're a bisexual couple. Matt mentioned a gay character basically hitting on him, Marisha did the same. It's normal.

[@Lillith-uj7tt]

It was about open relationships

[@Nathan-oe8ut]

Those are still the minority, I wouldn't say they're normal - more like they're not bad in any way.

[@thomassmart4088]

"Oh wait! ... If I write a story I get more COOL THINGS" - Matt 21:13

[@SCUBAguypnw]

I was at this con. This was my first introduction to Critical Role. Didn't have any clue what Critical Role was. My theory was they were a group of friends that sat around talking about movies and what each of them thought was the Critical Role of that movie. Boy was I far off! After this con, I started listening to the Podcast for Campaign Two sometimes completing three episodes in one day listening during my commute and while I worked. Was a very happy day when I finally caught up to the live stream.

[@EsquilaxM]

Spoilers C2 Question: "Caleb's almost gone down-" Laura: "Gone down..." Liam: "Not since school days, anyway.." Gah, that poor boy and his poly thruple :( They loved each other in all the trauma..

[@rosalie4509]

I think they loved each other because of the trauma...

[@EsquilaxM]

@@rosalie4509 they also were manipulated to do so. Or at least, their master smiled evilly when he found out about it..

Matt: "here have fun idk what it does", bet he is slapping himself after the Jester and Hag situation xD

[@AFLoneWolf]

18:40 WHY WOULD YOU NOT SHOW THAT REACTION?!?!?

Taliesin Lore drop was the seed that matt turned into a city tree that is Lucien the Nonagon.

[@privatizitat815]

I feel like nobody could play a satisfying bard after the bar that sam set

[@collopez1136]

Very easy to tell the age considering the favorite use of an item/unexpected use wasn't the dust of deliciousness.

[@shweenz]

That Wall of Fire and Counterspell were probably the coolest moments I've ever seen in D&D. Matt also did such a fantastic job building to that moment up to the Locate Object spell.

[@stevend3326]

I really enjoyed this but I think they left the question card up too long on the video. Some of the best shots are from the cast actually hearing the questions and having that initial reaction.

[@sevencats4964]

Seconded

[@dig8634]

Yeah, and it doesn't really matter if they don't make subtitles for the answers as well. Don't cover their reactions and do subtitle their answers should be the go-to

[@bexh6181]

On the topic of weird fun magic items there have been 3 bag of tricks related deaths across 2 campaigns with my group of friends. Whenever my players push my buttons I threaten to give a bag of tricks to the most chaotic player in the party and it makes a surprisingly good threat.

[@grey8288]

It does make me feel a little bad when Sam asks everyone to tag Matt in bad pictures of him when he has dysmorphia.

[@ehcmier]

Understandable. Just know that Sam and Matt know the limits. As for Matt, it's his body and legs, not his face, that he struggles to look at. He uses his own face in most things he does, how he dresses and cosplay, while covering his torso in layers.

[@grey8288]

@@ehcmier He has said that his body is the worst but he still doesn't like his face (in a worse than average way). Sam knows that Matt has limits, but we have seen him accidentally step over them in the show, such as making a stuttering joke before Matt spoke up and said that he used to have a bad stutter. And many of the fans don't even know of Matt's dysmorphia, so I dont think that they would toe the line as well as Sam does.

[@clonerzzz]

If it made matt uncomfortable he porbably would have told him (or if not marisha would lol)

[@Evelyn-rb1zj]

I play with a group where the dm started the campaign by dropping the unsuspecting characters from the sky into a mage's shop (the mage being the leader of a town consisting of mostly retired adventures who settled down and now run shops) after we all landed she said we'd been summoned and sent us to retrieve some items that had been stolen from her the rogue (who happened to be my half elf bard's significantly older half sister), the warlock and the ranger also learned that actions have consequences when they were jailed for poorly executed crimes and turned into frogs by the mage when she had to get them out In a later campaign (set in the same world) I played a tiefling warlock/bard who was the younger half sister of my half elf and we were summoned by the same mage so I had my character do a little "oh my sister told me about this" to explain why the falling from the sky part didn't have the same effect on her as the others who were all far more confused, guarded or anxious while my character was confused at first but quickly became awed when she realised what was happening
