The thing is, they aren't in a living room anymore. They are in a full-blown studio, so there are pretty large restrictions on what the cameras may and may not see. Implementing a 'Matt camera' would make it difficult not to accidentally show the studio gear, crew, or anything 'backstage', which would range from somewhat unprofessional to downright problematic. As much as I would love him to fully embrace his characters, it is simply not feasible in a studio setting like this, not without being detrimental in other aspects (one thing they REALLY cherish is how they can sit at the same table, close to each other, which they couldn't for a good while after starting the show)

And they made reference to Percy being a bit crazy, that he lost himself, both in the original intro and a mention by the characters that when they first met him he was in prison and very different. But his character had already grown in time that they gamed before live streaming.

@@antonymilne1346 Plus they had just switched game systems for the stream. Pre-stream, they were using Pathfinder rules. When they started streaming, they switched to Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition. So they were still learning the D&D 5e rules during the first campaign (and sometimes they still forget the rules, Matt included). Percy had to be completely redesigned with homebrew rules by Matt because the D&D 5e fighter subclasses did not include the gunslinger, which was Percy's fighter subclass in Pathfinder. Many of the characters' abilities changed, and some spells got altered, added or removed because of the differences in spell rules and class spell lists in D&D vs. Pathfinder.

Same. I feel a lot of comfort watching these videos. And I think that's why the love TTRPG elements of Critical Role resonate so much with me

Same. 🥺 I desperately want to play D&D around a table and make good friends through adventuring but alas, social anxiety lol

Me too. My favorite moments in the show are the bits where you see flashes of their irl friendships. Sam and Travis "fighting" over sportsball. The time Marisha was with Taliesin when he got a pair of lederhosen. Liam and Taliesin geeking out over Secret Garden the Musical. The small, in between moments that remind you that these people have known and loved each other for so long.

Same, Aspergers and social anxiety sucks. At least I can't miss something I'll never have.

People you wished you'd met when you were in LA, episode 21 :| Love seeing the origin stuff, the 'lost prequel bits' - I'm working my way back from 'what is this awesome animation?' to 'wow, what a great bunch and campaign'* Superb to see how this changed the game radically well, as well as creating engaging characters and much feels - and I'm only on season 1. Right, off to find a local group! *without going there, but it is sad to see that not all of the group could navigate life together once things started taking off...

i would love to see them do a session like this, maybe with multicameras and it couldnt be livestreamed, but that ambience of everybody standing up and acting with their whole bodies seems very fun

Idk, there's something really sad seeing Orion and thinking how it all fall apart and they had to carry on without him.
