@@comicorcas8501 it actually still is grammatically correct to say it as octopuses. Octopi is only a suffix to indicate plural of nouns with Latin roots. Octopus is derived from greek, so the proper pluralization would be “ode” however octopus happens to employ a classic English formulation, and affixing a simple “es” at the end will do.

[@NorthWriter]

My god, in the span of two or three weeks I've become obsessed with this show. I'm 40, and when I was growing up I was not allowed to play D&D, as it was supposedly "the gateway to Satan," but I always wanted to play. So I only ever played a couple of sessions of the old West End Star Wars D6 RPG, but otherwise missed out on all of this. Then life happened and kids and family and RPGs were the furthest thing from my mind. So now my kids are teenagers, and one of the greatest gifts is that I get to play D&D with them, at their invitation! They WANT me to play with them. My oldest son DMs, and I just created my first-ever D&D character. I can't wait for my first game with them this week. So thank you to the Critical Role team for showing me, a late bloomer, how amazing RPGs can be.

[@arpeggioblue]

How'd it go?

[@NorthWriter]

It was awesome. Got my 10-year-old stepdaughter addicted as well; I told her it was like Skyrim, but where you use your imagination and you get to pretend to be the character you want...she was excited to try. Then when my son gestured to her and said, "Why don't you introduce your character," she looked at me with wild eyes as if she was about to skydive, and I knew she was hooked. We got an assignment from a noble, killed an ogre, and did some fun RP. Then this weekend my oldest son was at a friend's for the weekend, so *I* DMed. The five of us played the D&D Starter Set for our adventure (the tried and true Lost Mine of Phandelver), and we played for about three hours. I drew a lot of inspiration from the way Matt narrates and describes the events that happen, and it was great to see the kids really getting into it. The highlight of that was probably that first goblin fight, where two goblins attacked with swords and two with shortbows from a ridge. One of the kids plays a centaur druid (doubling down on the nature magic), and she cast "Ice Knife," which she then chucked at one of the goblin archers with a Natural 20 and hit it right between the eyes. Needless to say she felt like a total badass. But then they spent the last 20 minutes trying out how to free some wolves kept by the goblins. It was really great to watch them try to work together, but I'm realizing I may need to figure out how to gracefully move them along to keep the action going. But we all had a great time!

I absolutely love how Liam is describing his spellcasting. Its so much more exciting than saying "I cast X". Really helps to visualize it happening and ropes you in

[@djinn181]

After campaign 1 finished Matt asked the cast to be more descriptive with their attacks, spells and stuff. Rather than just saying "I cast fireball" and leaving it to Matt to describe all the details, they could describe what they did to cast it and then Matt would finish by describing what happens depending on the dice rolls. I think the cast really embraced the idea, especially Liam.

[@100blueeyedboy]

it makes me feel bad about my own spellcasting now, and I'm gonna start being more descriptive in the future

[@billionai4871]

This is why I love component pouch, instead of a wand or a staff. You describe getting the material components, how that translates into the spell and how it works thereafter.

After campaign 1 finished Matt asked the cast to be more descriptive with their attacks, spells and stuff. Rather than just saying "I cast fireball" and leaving it to Matt to describe all the details, they could describe what they did to cast it and then Matt would finish by describing what happens depending on the dice rolls. I think the cast really embraced the idea, especially Liam.

Absolutely. They all do a great job. Of course, these are talented professional actors so they can go a little further than the typical table players, but they demonstrate an aspect of role-playing I try to encourage with the people I play with. Either exaggerate or opposite your "real-life" personality, but don't overdo it to the extent you can't play the character consistently according to how you define them as because your real personality doesn't "think" that way. It's better to just play yourself in a fantasy setting than to make up a character if you can't properly play them as intended.
