W-w-wow what a busy thread
>>96525932>what happened in themGoing to the Shattered Teeth, hunting for Ludinus. The 2 austrialia ones are the only ones currently live without paying, so i only know what happened in them.
>>96528173I remember multiple thousand-post threads
so what happened last night? does anyone care?these were literally C2 characters and nobody seems to give a shit anymore. Sad!
>>96530276anon, do you think people here are paypigs on their beacon stuff? We will see what happend last night in about 3 months from now, once they upload it on youtube
>>96530319but it aired on twitch
>>96530276RIP the Critical Role brand I guess. I have such fond memories of hate-watching season 2 with anons on here
>>96525676Marisha is getting some heavy milkers, probably birth control making her gain weight
>>96525662>Laura edition'member when Laura left an awards show early to be in the live episode that night (picrel)? 'member when they did live shows?Unscripted Glam Laura will never happen again.
>>96525739Why won't any of them stop the guy? Is it Stockholm Syndrome?
>>96537973Stop him? He saved her life at one point iirc
>>96537973how will he make sure he's on the same table/party whatever in C4?
>>96538328never heard anything that. Did he convince her she needed mouth to mouth resuscitation, when she had merely fainted?
>>96538353If she is bright enough to finally get a retraining order, he will still link his PC to hers in some sexual/overly close way.
>>96537973two generations now think physical theatre acting is role-play, just because one creep can't keep his hands (or lips) off his friend's wife.
>>96525676Aabria >>>>> everyone else.None of the others would have the chutzpah to bully a new player to tears for literally no reason>Captcha: xxxramYou bet
>>96525749Sorry anon, no premier until November.
LIVE TUCKER REACTION
characters announced
>>96549402Im going to enjoy Laura trying to RP sucking Travis' giant lion dick as a fairy.
>>96549402>Marisha>big titty character>ruins it by giving it a beardwhy
>>96549402Marisha once again trying to get her faux activism in. She knows her audience at least.
>>96549402>Bolaire Lathalievery edge, very cringe, impressive
>>96549470Because these people don't actually know what there virtue signalling for. I'm pretty sure the "messaging" for trannys is that they want to be women, not just bearded men with big tits.
/tv/ is over here >>>/tv/
>>96549402>taliesin playing the same character for the 3rd time
>>96549402Is this real?
>>96549402>Travis is playing a furryYIKES>character named TyRANNYYIKES>bearded female dwarfYIKES>Laura on a literal manic pixie dream girlYIKES>matt and tailspin on self-insertsYIKES>Liam on another faggot but this time he's an orcYIKES
>>96550366Quit sperging out dude.
>>96549402Wow that's an extremely bland cast. Looking forward to the porn of Travis' and Robbie's character though, I am a simple man
I re-realized that I have generally disliked any PC character art that is too "clean". Depictions of the chars at their very best and in some ways, depending on your perspective, coming off as being higher than 1. That they have already had adventures, or bought new outfits from the gold of some already done.Its either -They are established heroic people or operatives, rather than people that are just getting the ropes of things (or have not yet done so but are about to). Which is disappointing as rooting for low level underdog is part of the fun.or 2.if its common to be like this at level 1 in the setting, being only slightly elevated over the common man, whic means the near majority people come from a well-to-do background. And if that is really so common, the immediate setting must not be filled with much conflict, and therefore lacking drama.At least lacking the drama i'd like when it comes to low level play.I guess Thimble, Vaelus, and perhaps Kattigan may pass muster in that respect if one is liberal in estimating if they pass in this way.Azune Nayar I guess would be fine as a noble out on adventure, but that's the farthest I'd go.Everyone else looks to be vewy vewy vewy special.
>>96551028From elsewhere:> So many looking straight dapper. Ya and that's the problem!
>>96549402Laura and Whitney's characters are going to have the most straight porn and Travis and Robbie's characters are gonna have the most gay porn.Marisha's would have been top contender for porn if she didn't have the beard.
>>96551133I look forward to Laura browbeating Travis into romance again, with accompanying jokes about barbs because Laura has a dirty fucking mind.
>>96551164and those belches! Good gods, the woman could knock down doors with those! LOL
>>96551133Do female dwarves really have fucking beards now or is that some new woke nonsense courtesy of WotC
>>96551348...is this bait
>>96551348Dwarves aren't real, It comes down to the players/artist's choice. I'm pretty sure I've seen female dwarf characters on Critical Role without beards, and some with.
>>96551348Tolkien stated in letters that female dwarves were so alike to male dwarves that they were virtually indistinguishable to outsiders. He probably let out a sensible chuckle has he wrote this, not knowing that autists would be arguing about it on the internet 70 years later.
I wish these theater shits would grasp that standing out in a crowd should make you a target.Mulligan, just like Mercer will give them no consequences for it >LauraPCs flying at low levels is a very basic don't. Those wings would be missing in one levelBased on appearance alone, only Matt and Luis pass, but I'm sure they will fail the next reveal.Mulligan's world only shows he is just as clueless as Mercer and WotC are.
>>96552078>Mulligan, just like Mercer will give them no consequences for itWhile I expect Mulligan to be more punishing in combat, I also don't have faith they he would make a point of painting targets due to them standing out.
>>96552078You're assuming the world they will be playing in won't also be full of a bunch of wacky looking freakshit NPCs, they'll fit right in.
Oh, LOL. SO apparently, after this, people went back and looked at the "What is Campaign 4" announcement video, and there were parts of the video that talked about what people's classes were: https://www.reddit.com/r/criticalrole/comments/1mwj5od/cr_media_campaign_4_announcement_video_whats_on/I know I know, reddit boo hiss.So per that video, if everything's accurate from that video: Liam - Halandil Fang - Orc BardAabria - Thaisha Lloy - Orc DruidTal - Bolaire Lathalia - Elf WarlockRobbie - Kattigan Vale - Human Ranger
>>96552324>Halandil>Thaisha>Bolaire>KattiganWhen do fantasy names become too fantasy?
kill yourselves
>>96549402Marisha quite blatantly playing a tranny. Not even just a bearded dwarf woman, which isn't the crazy part. "Mag'nesSON" instead of "Mag'nesdottir".Fucking faggots, all of them.
>>96551348I believe Ashly Buch's dwarf character, Keg from Campaign 2 also had a beard
>>96552506>"Mag'nesSON" instead of "Mag'nesdottir"Its normal for english speaking people to make this mistake. "Maddison" is even considered a girl's name.
>>96552324>Liam - Halandil Fang - Orc BardOh right they made a subclass so that Liam could be edgy. School of Tragedy Bard.
>>96549402From looks Alone>Thimble>Vaelus>Kattigan Vale>Teor Pridesire>Thaisha Lloy>Tyranny>Halandil Fang>Azune Nayar>Occtis Tachonis>Sir Julien Davinos>Wicander Halowar>Murray Mag'nesson>Bolaire Lathalia
>>96552722Big disagree on your middle Thaisha Lloy + Tyranny. Move up Azune and Halandil and send them to the bottom.
>>96549402characters all seem to be wearing one of 3 main colors. Maybe hinting to the party divide? >Greens: Laura, Whitney, Marisha, Sam>Reds: Matt, Aabria, Tal, Liam, Luis>Blacks: Travis, Ashley, Alex, Robbie
>>96552736I'd be willing to switch around Thaisha Lloy + Tyranny with Azune + Halandil but no way they're going below the Wicander, Mag'nesson & Bolaire trio of awful looking
>>96552740RIP this campaign if those are the parties
>>96552740>Travis, Robbiegiga kino
>>96549402I cannot get over how Marisha decided to ruin the character that had the hottest potential
>>96552740God, it's like each table has at least one insufferable member ruining it for the rest
>>96552740black table for me
>>96551133>Travis and Robbie's characters are gonna have the most gay pornHonestly good for them, the barafags have been very underserved both in the CR community and in general.But I'm personally excited for your Laura prediction, as I, the humble fairyfag am the most underserved of all.
>>96549402>Robbie's animal companion>three-legged wolf with a magical ghost-pawThat's pretty cool.
>>96552646Well in combination the characters first name is absolutely a man's name. I wouldn't be surprised if she makes it a man with tits.
>>96552740If Sam were to replace Ashley at Blacks table it would be THE table to watch.
>>96552975black table should be fine. Ashley is just a retard, whereas the other possible tables have some horrific members.
>>96553247>both in the CR community and in generalI've noticed that a lot actually. They all rush eagerly to do the lesbian couples, or the faggy males. But it's like they forget a lot of gay men are still... y'know. Men.
>>96553359Because Cali shitlibs base their entire perception of minorities on stereotypes (even the minority shitlibs do this). I also find it funny that the obviously straight VAs are doing gayface repeatedly with this game when these fuckers are constantly pushing for racial and soon sexuality based casting in their own spaces.
>>96553359>They all rush eagerly to do the lesbian couples, or the faggy males. But it's like they forget a lot of gay men are still... y'know. Menbecause lesbians are hot, gay men are ew
>>96549402I will never watch this but would have sex with Thimble and Tyranny. Thanks for reading.
>>96549402big titty orc wife
>>96549402Other stuff that can be guessed with stuff from the announcement videoClasses>Halandil Fang - Orc Bard >Thaisha Lloy - Orc Druid >Bolaire Lathalia - Elf Warlock >Kattigan Vale - Human Ranger Associations>Halandil, Thaisha, and Bolaire are all associated with something called "Dol-Makyar">Kattigan is associated with "The Torn Banner">Additional characters will likely be associated with these and the other categories on the board, "The Sundered Houses" and "Penteveral"Relationships>whiteboards and press release all also focus on the connection of the characters to a character named Thjazi Fang -- seemingly related to Liam's Halandil Fang>line drawn between Halandil & Thaishaand the word "Brother" is written next to Halandil character
>>96552366Halandil would be fine, if it was an elf. Probably the least orcy name I can think of.
>>96549402The absurdly hot green human with fangs is cracking me the fuck up
>>96525662>also discuss C4?no, i'm gonna doompost abt it
>>96555757based doomposter anon taking up the mantle once again
seriously the whole cast is pretty cool but then there's fucking aabriahow can one person bring things down so much it's crazyi have a terrible player in my campaign and i swear he's not as bad as she ist. not even racist i was married to a black girl for 3 years
>>96549402i can vibe with everyone but Marsisha. God fucking damn it. Also not sold on the pink Tiefling and Sams teal dude.
>>96556308whats wrong with her, i dont see the issue
>>96556351This. They might be fine once the actual campaign is underway, but their artwork is seriously throwing me off
>>96556574She's obnoxiously black.
>>96556636>She's obnoxiously black.She's a huge oreo, a quirky white woman in a black woman body
>>96556574Watch her gming exu, she act really hostile towards alot of rp and retreats into a "You're weird" sort of bullying power fantasy
>>96556876wasnt a fan of her dming in EXU, but her as a player wasnt that bad. Her main campaign girl was ok-ish and her elven archmage in calamity was pretty cool. So since she will be a player again, im not dooming.
>>96556876Also telling other players how their characters feel. Not just "you feel a sense of dread crawl up your spine" for which then the players would react to. She dictates that they are outright a certain emotion sometime.
More pics of Laura please
>>96557344sure
Remember when Marisha wasn't fat?
>>96557536I was gonna say that hasn't been that long and of course I remember. I then realized this picture was taken 3+ years ago.
>>96525676Travis>Matt>Sam>Brennan>everyoneelse in no particular order>Aabria>Liam
>>96557712Man, at least Marisha used to be pleasant to look at before.
I know they're sticking with dnd instead of daggerheart, are they doing 5.5e or just 5e?
>Travis has the only cool character design>He will inevitably get to fuck his wife yet againHow does he keep getting away with it?Is it the power of being the only in-shape man there?
>>96549402All of this superficial "diversity", and yet, it's all so bland and faggoty
Have any of critical role commented on Charlie Kirk or are they smart enough to keep their traps shut?
>>96558336They'll not even fucking blink. Mostly because even someone trying to do a "It was bad that happened. But..." whataboutism would get torn to shreds by their rabid faggoty fanbase.
>>96558288Yes, 5.5e
>>96558301Travis just seems like the most well adjusted, normal person in the group. He's from Texas and likes football and plays DnD with his wife. In a group of theatre kids and washed up child stars, just being a normal dude makes you the resident chad.
>>96558583It's amazing that he evolved over the years. Guy was just tall a long time ago, otherwise a dork who did voice acting for anime. Then something made him hit the gym. Wonder if it was to try to get Laura's attention.
>>96558591Working out is kind of just standard white guy activities, I think it's more evidence that he is just a normie in a non-normie industry. Apparently he went to Christian university, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's "right-wing" by the standards of your average CR fan.
>>96558638By going to a Christian university, they would label him a nazi. Hell they'd probably do the same to Marisha, who grew up in northern KY.
>>96557344
>>96537973>>96559025
>Kickstarter to Amazon Prime bait-and switch>playing both sides with every WotC controversy>making money doing shows through 3 different strikes (are members of 2 of the unions) with 'independent company' excuse, yet at the same time claiming "solidarity">making own game implying they are going to permanently switch to it, having fans sell it out, then sticking with WotC. How do they keep getting away with it?
>>96553359Learning to draw actual muscle and facial hair or anything other than hairless twinks is hard, and you may make others think you don't hate men if you don't draw them as flat women. I've been told I must shave my beard before returning to a LGBT community group because I was making people feel unsafe.
>>96558583Not to countermand you but Travis definitely is a Theater kid himself just not....consumed by it. So ya, well-adjusted.Just as much as the grognard is disdained here, the hardcore weeb and furry are shunned, so too are obnoxious theatre kids the worse of them.
>>96559526Post beard.
>>96559526Its true drawing actual muscle requires studying anatomy to some degree. And so many internet western audiences are much more inclined (or aroused, to be more accurate) to draw a character in the shape of a ball.
>>96557290>audiencesMeant 'artists'
>>96558583>travis my giga chad please let me suck your cock!!meanwhilehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu95M2Xy2Ig

>>96560530but Robbie is the gayest one there
>>96559844>>96559682>call guy normal>"SO YOU WANT TO FUCK HIM?"What causes this kind of bizarre, homoerotic contrarianism?
>>96559697I'm not the guy's biographer by Wikipedia says he went to Texas Christian University and Laura went to a community college in the same general area.
>>96559682It is comedy tradition. When done for laughs, it is based.
>>96549450They can't help self-inserting or scripting romances. They've never learned RPG.
>>96560918worked well enough for her in C1
>>96559682SOME like it hot...
>>96549402>long, bulky dress >loud clomping hooves >main point of the creation of tieflings is that they are not to be trustedNo problem! Mulligan has the perfect name for a CR GM and this generation of clueless.
>>96562061pic
>>96549402Istg, Ashley always makes the coolest characters.
Finally gave CR a try. No clue how they became the poster boy for the "theater kid" boogeyman when they hardly roleplay at all. Most of the session was spent either figuring out combat (somehow they haven't mastered the rules for a game they've been playing regularly for years) or making out of character dick jokes. I don't know if they were more heavy roleplay focused in their older episodes but the one I watched they just seem like any other average joe schmoe group
>>96563851Wait until you get to Liam's character's sad backstory and endless monologues about fate and death and love and forever and ever.
>>96559300how many times are you going to post this?
When do they play? Still Thursdays? Have they started yet? Fuck me, I haven't watched these guys in years.
Travis confirmed to be a PaladinLaura is confirmed Rouge
>>96564053Yes and they start october 2nd
>>96563968Honestly just go watch Legends of Avantris. They have characters, actually learned how to be funny. Has a woman who actually seems to be into RPG, etc.
>>96549402Marisha is going to try to fuck Matt's character and he's going to have to indulge in the weird gay scenes for fear of being seen as transphobic and also fear of being forced to sleep on the couch for rejecting his wife. Marisha WILL make mention of the beard tickling Matt's character's face during the kiss. Mark my words.Robbie and Travis better be on the same table because I like them. Also Taliesen is playing the same fucking character again.
>>96563851They once did an episode that is literally 4 straight hours of Liam O'Brien describing a house. That's not an exaggeration. It is literally what happened.
>>96565104Matt's self-confessed self-insert, Allura, was a human lesbian in a relationship with a female halfling, I think he's okay roleplaying weird gay shit
>>96565116Lesbian sex is for straight men to enjoy, so that was fine. Gay sex is for gays to enjoy and that's not fine.
>>96565169lots of straight men like shemale and gay porn so.... not sure what your point is
>>96565180Anon, I...
>>96565180Ah no mate, those are gay men you're describing. You can tell because the thing they're watching is gay porn. Hope this cleared things up.
no more gay shit in this thread. Just Laura.
>>96563851correct about them not having a clue what they are doing within the system after 10 yrs because role-playing isn't >>96540712 and it isn't scripted arcs and campaign outcomes either. They think group play-writing, rigged combat, and doing accents is RP. They are just doing the same shit as their video game and anime voice acting day jobs. Put a real GM and pre-gen PCs in front of them, make them roll digitally so they can't cheat/collaboratively storytell encounters, and not pay them a cent, and they'd all be gone from the table within minutes.
I hope BLM kills all the lame theatre kid shit in the first episode and hammers home what a high lethality west marches is like.Cuz half these characters seem dumb
>>96558638>>96558973You fags know that just because a school has Christian in the name that doesn't make it a bible school, right?
>>96565331What makes you think he'd actually do that if he already doesn't do that on dimension 20?
>>96565332At what point did anybody say it was "bible school", whatever the fuck that means? It's a majority white, private university closely associated with the Christian Church. Those qualities alone would likely terrify your average SoCal liberal.
>>96525676Did Matt plump Marisha up?
These are basically just shill threads right?
>>96525662VGH, girl shoulders are so hot and kissable...
>>96566144once campaign 4 starts we're gonna have weekly threads
>>96565331It's not going to happen. If any death happens, it will be scripted for a mid campaign episode, and it will be very emotional and tearful.
>>96566144>shilling on a dead boardlol
>>96549402Ashleys drow is the one i am most exited for. But what the fuck is going on with that transsexual dwarf?
>>96564907Speaking of Avantris, they found the perfect middle ground for the group to fuck around and make fun of the entire debauchery of homosexualls and trannys.https://youtube.com/shorts/jDEuk3Z2_54?si=IGLF2eMRdeb9yhSt
>Half the people say they're excited to see Ashley's character>other half say Ashley is one of the worst playersIs she that divisive?
>>96566902Her characters aren't necessarily bad in theory, she's just awful at remembering how to play them.
>>96549402I’m actually shocked they caved and let somebody play a character with huge breasts. What’s the catch?
>>96567098>What’s the catch?The character also has a beard.
>>96553394>I also find it funny that the obviously straight VAs are doing gayface repeatedly with this game when these fuckers are constantly pushing for racial and soon sexuality based casting in their own spaces.Because they never think they’re the ones that will get replaced. Most “allies” are filled with a sense that they’ll get to reap the benefits of being “one of the good ones” and exist in this divine state of bliss where they get to be a beloved minority too. None of them realize that even if only 10% of the in-group population is white, they’ll still be the whipping boy for perceived privilege.Ultimately it’s slave mentality, a belief that if they betray their kin hard enough they’ll get rewarded for it. Like communist larpers who think they’ll get to be committee members instead of working the coal mines once the revolution happens. Because they “did their share” so they “deserve” to be rewarded.
>>96567139That’s cringe but not really any sign of the character being trans. Dwarven women have been meme’d as having beards for over a decade now, and given Marisha’s peabrain creativity it’s exactly the kind of thing she’d push for. Hell, I’d go so far as to say she gave her character enormous breasts because she saw how popular Fearn was, and wants that attention too.
>>96549402>Tyranny>ThimbleI'm sorry but those are fucking awful names
>>96565311How picky are you with Laura pics? Will you accept a far away pic of Laura rejecting creepy guy's orchestrated seating attempts at fondling her?
>>96565311>>96567483
>>96566889>t. picrellol
>>96567483>>96567495Why do they always make the married couples sit as far apart from one another as possible?
>>96567594because they're adults and dont children who need to sit next to their mommy & daddy when out with other people
>>96565104>>96565116They had a whole one-shot with a cross dresser. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDQTNGvRH4QMatt has has said he loves drag queens, and does himself sometimes
>>96567665I didn't need to know that
>>96567142I'm not even going to start with you're wrong or you're right, but you really need to spend less time on /pol/ if you get this upset about a bunch of Californians virtue signaling in their tabletop show
>>96567665>yes mistress
>>96567668sorry
>>96567594Liam must be the one who directs the seating. Almost all live events he is next to Laura. It happens too often to be a coincidence.
>>96557536>>96565494Matt likes muscle women, but Marisha forgot she'd need cardio.
>>96567764
>>96567746No, it's literally Marisha and Laura who decide the seating arrangements.
>>96567764I like boxer-fit Marisha. I don't like gave-birth-to-3-kids-despite-being-childless Marisha...
You really think that Liam is prepared to do this shit in front of Travis and Matt for 10 years without them realizing it? They have to have some kind of arrangement with Liam...
>>96567770shit. can't find the webms.
>>96567780Oh shit! It's worse than I thought!>>96537973
>>96567673>Paying attention to the last ten years of American culture is wrongI’m not upset, I had time on my hands and decided to explain the process thoroughly. If you are taking an issue with the criticism then you probably think I’m wrong.
Remember in C1 when they just played the game? That was kino.
>>96567811does anybody here have digital art skills?
Matt Mercer and Marisha Ray are in an open relationship. Marisha has had sex with both Orion and Taliesin (watch their interactions in early C1 and the tells are obvious). Mattrisha and Travlaura have wife swapped. Matt is a drag queen in his private life, name of Di Sarolla (not kidding). Pretty much all of the Orion drama was actually about his AIDS reveal, and everyone in the group freaking out that he may have infected the wife swapping swinger pool with aids.As far as the claim that Orion was harassing any of the other gamers, that's ridiculous. He made an off color remark about getting a "tactics half chub: that was a dig at laura for not playing tactically usually and actually thinking out a battle plan for once. It was not meant in any way as sexual harassment and if you watch the clip the overreaction at the table is obvious. These guys are a bunch of virtue signalling Cali leftoids, look at how quickly they turned on Chris Hardwick for something that ended up being total BS.How anyone could even compete with Scanlan Shorthalt , a perverted coprphile who constantly harassed both PC and NPC females alike, is beyond me. The things that guy said completely overshadowed Orion at the table.TLDR Orion was banished for off table interpersonal swinger related drama more than his focus hogging and annoying minmaxing.
>>96549402Never liked it when the actor/director's names are larger than the names of the character they are playing. I guess feeling that extends to Tabletop.Shows what they feel is more important.
>>96567871This is retarded. Orion was banished because he didn't fit well with Liam and kept trying to steal his thunder. He also clashed with Sam, frequently bullying him about being so non-confrontational and avoidant.Everything came to a head when he started threatening fans with lawsuits over t-shirts. T-SHIRTS. The guy was too unstable to join CR in building a life out of show business.
>>96567911Cope
Haven't watched C3 is it true that throat cancer fucked up Sam's voice?
>>96567871>>96567911Orion was kicked for hard drug use. His own admission. https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-kss6a-111c772If table behavior had anything to do with it, Liam would have been booted long ago.As for backstabbing for apparently no reason, has anyone heard from the victim of Ashley's>"Restraining Order (DVRO) was brought without merit and the request was frivolous... was brought for an improper purpose to gain an upper hand in litigation" - judgeFoster?
>>96567984I know. I was just looking for Di SaRolla posts and came upon this one ripe for a repost. BWF was one of the only people keeping the rest of CR somewhat normal.
>they made the Melbourne show the same say Kirk got murdered.I was scared they would made a joke
>>96568058The Australia shows were in June. I think they've already recorded several episodes of C4. If they make any subtle political jokes, the timing will be too far off for most to get it.
>>96567871Source or was it revealed to you in a dream?>bro its obvious, just look it upNo, fuck off. Source.
>>96568111Which part? This was all confirmed to me by Brian Foster after I got him drunk in Branson, MO
>>96567925>Control freak, fraud DM kills player's PC, despite admitted "consensual deaths">Player uses NPC in own story, because that's what NPCs are for.>Control freak, fraud DM can't handle it and publicly humiliates player People still fall for Matt's nice guy act.

>>96568219no we just think it's hilarious how Orion crashed out
>>96568237Is Marisha's decision not to use makeup to suggest authenticity or is she just lazy as fuck?
>>96568237>Laura cryingtheater kids, we've won
>>96568259She doesn't want to look as much as a slut as Whitney
>>96549402>ForeverDM escapes purgatory>Plays a male human fighterI fully understand.
>>96568329It’s the ultimate comfort character. Always effective, easily overlooked, and often thrust into the best parts of the story.
>>96568219>all you had to do to become a millionaire by playing DnD is not be a sperg>ruin it all by being a spergoof
>>96526212Three
>>96526060>>96526212>>96568802First 4 episodes already taped, all 14 players in attendance I believe. Then they split off into 3 groups
is it really all fake?
>>96568880Yes, just like wrestling. So what?
>>96568880would you watch it more or less, depending on the answer?
>>96568296>bad actors performing a theater playjust more scripted phoniness from the castRemember them crying when Vax was supposed to never be seen again, despite knowing full well that Liam could never handle that happening?
>>96568972Let me guess, you think think D&D is all about shooting the shit with your bros while you drink beer and eat snacks and you don't believe in caring about the characters
>>96568767>millions by out-grifting him>>96559300
>>96568995I care for characters that don't have plot armor/consensual death in rigged outcomes. Caring should be earned, not pre-written.
>>96569054You assume too much
>>96568880PC dialogue isn't scripted (with a few exceptions), but in all other ways it's a fake game. They wouldn't still be poster children for terrible players after 10 years if it wasn't.
>>96568972>Matt: Vax dies>Liam: No, he becomes a revenant >Matt: Vax has completed his revenant objective, he will now disintegrate into oblivion as revenants are supposed to do.>Liam: No Matt, he becomes immortal >Matt: OK, he goes into another plane to never be seen again>Liam: not exactly, he becomes a god's champion and will be seen anytime VM is doing something together>years later...>Matt: Though his many times being seen again, Vax has been turned to stone, failing his champion duties. He should now be finally obliterated.>Liam: No Matt. Fuck you! We started playing for my birthday remember? My mother is still dead, you know!
>>96569215Okay this is still funny after all these years
>>96568995That sounds rad
>>96568995>you think think D&D is all about shooting the shit with your bros while you drink beer and eat snacks and you don't believe in caring about the charactersYes, that's exactly what we're doing. I'm not forcing my players to give a shit about their characters, and if they start giving a shit due to the plot being compelling than that's a bonus. You should start silly and end serious, trying to start serious ends with exhaustion.
>>96571140Critical Role campaign 1 started silly and ended serious, I don’t know what point you’re trying to make.
>>96568995What CR does isn't caring about their characters, it's performing for the audience. It's also narcissistic if they think their collaboratively plotted story/fake game is good enough to be performative crying over or proud of. It's just there for manipulation, like Liam milking his poor mother's death in character for YEARS. There is nothing honest or genuine in them. I'm reminded of Mercer claiming he had imposter syndrome at the same time arrogantly working with WotC to make his shit canon, and intentionally shitting on every principle Gygax and TSR had instilled in the game and hobby. They are the worst kind of phonies.
>>96571533Idk, I thought Vex crying over the body of dead Percy was pretty sad
>>96571533>intentionally shitting on every principle Gygax and TSR had instilled in the game and hobby.lmao dude you weren't even alive back then
>>96567893It extends to the show cameras. Almost always the battle maps are on the small screen because they think their own physical performances (which isn't RP >>96540712) should be seen more than what is going on in the world their PCs are in.
>>96568237I hope 50% of the table dies in the first 2 episodes, having 12+ people at the same table trying to RP at a time is going to be a nightmare for the audience and the players.
i recognize friedle and the chick from full house
>>96571681>I hope 50% of the table dies in the first 2 episodes>diesYou clearly don't know what show this is and haven't been reading the thread
>>96571693Gowing up as a poor Europoor in the 90s, I have no clue who any of these people are
>>96571648How is that relevant? NTA, but I definitely wasn't alive in the 70s, and yet I can still read and internalize the correct way to play D&D as its designers intended.
>>96525739>>96537973>>96540712you guys always ignore the fact that it's Laura initiating physical contact 90% of the time. If she was so put off by it she wouldn't keep doing it.
>>96549402>all the newer cast members except for the tiefling have the more reasonable character designscan't be a coincidence can it?
>>96525662Critical Role has no place on this board. It's nogaems shit. You're watching people do theater pretending to play D&D. It has nothing to do with the constructive discussion of the hobby. It's celebrity dick sucking and does nothing for us. It's created a net negative for the hobby.These threads should be banned from /tg/
>>96567780>>96574094Laura is also the one picking the seats so clearly he can't be a creep, you guys are lame
>>96574269The sanctity of /tg/ must be protected at all costs!
>>96574269>Critical Role has no place on this board.It does tho>It's nogaems shit.Wrong>You're watching people do theater pretending to play D&D.And?>It has nothing to do with the constructive discussion of the hobby.Thats like, (you)r opinion>It's celebrity dick sucking and does nothing for us.Sound mad>It's created a net negative for the hobby.One hell of a (you) problem>These threads should be banned from /tg/They wont. Cry about it. (Oh wait, you already do)
>>96573972>the correct way to play D&D as its designers intended.lol
>>96574269>people do theater pretending to play D&DTrue see >>96565321 ,but it is invaluable in that is consistently shows what NOT to do as player or GM. From never learning basics (Johnson), to cheating (half of them), to also exemplifying every other trope of bad behavior at the table (O'Brien). Since it is a fake game, the acting GM's are essentially just enabling the cast to complete scripted/plotted PC arcs, the campaign outcomes are predetermined. Their admitted "consensual PC death" alone has proven this to be true. This board is really the only forum online that their shit can be called out.
>>96578151r/fansofcriticalrole is basically a hate sub
>>96578151Why did you let a normalfag show live in your head rent free for all these years?
>>96578211>why do (current events) matter?idk faggot why do you let this thread live in your head rent free? Fucking gormless bumpnig
>>96574094>>96574360C1: Liam has Laura be his twin sister>says to her "why don't we pretend we are married>says to her "remember when we took baths together?C2: >Tries to romance her character>Her husband is forced to romance his her character to stop it >>96561055C3: >immediately begins shadowing her PC, save for sleeping in Ashley's PC's crotch at night. Deflects it by saying his PC is gay.Not creepy? So, Laura is either gullible as hell, or enjoys making him simp (which doesn't excuse him). Either way, it's horrible behavior to be showing to any audience.
>>96578231Me laughing at your decade-long obsession is hardly comparable to you letting a show live rent free in your head sorry but these are two completely different things>From never learning basics (Johnson), to cheating (half of them), to also exemplifying every other trope of bad behavior at the table (O'Brien).NAME AND SHAME THEM!!
>>96578190No. It only exists because there was NO questioning the actions of CR on the main board (toxic positivity). Every user/critique still has to bullshit some positivity. What would happen to the user if half the things pointed out here were said there? I've even seen fans stalk users to other boards and beyond if they can.
>>96567400Thimble isn't a bad name for a fairy with a sewing-needle gimmick, also I bet she's had a lot of thumbs inside her.
>>96578359They are doing this thing called "having fun" which clearly you are too autistic to have
>>96567151Given the character is a dwarf, it's less the mild facial hair. And more the [Male First Name] and [Male Surname].
how do I invest long in travis before his character IPOs to the furry community
>>96549402Not one of these people is gay IRL. Why can't they play straight characters?
>>96580169I cant self insert as one of the dudes, so watching two girls be lesbians is hotter
>>96580191Not if one of them has a beard.
>>96568107Plenty of time to do a little snip and edit.
>>96580196that much is true. My hope is that Vaelus is that lezzing out with Tyranny
>>96568219He did this same kind of cunty shit with Hardwick's character, which oddly was also a Dragonborn. Just a petty, "he died offscreen". And of course no apology later.
>>96580211I'm surprised CR is opening the door to this many new players. The reason why the core group is largely unchanged is because they're all known factors. Do you know how long it took them to keep Robbie Daymond on full time? That man is as offensive as window blinds and they still vetted him for four years.
>>96568237Remember when they had neat looking animated trailers? This would've been much cooler even as an animatic than watching the camera slowly pan across the table repeatedly.
>>96580169Virtue signal. This isnt rocket science.
>>96580246back to /pol/ magatard
>>96537973Liam 'thimbles are for fingers' O'Brien will strike again
>>96549402Who is Laurs Bailey? Can't find any info on her.
>>96580211Speaking of never to be seen again dragonborn >breaks scripted campaign ending by regular cast with his own video game style cutscene.Like with later guest PCs giving gifts to Liam's characters, the hand was probably scripted for Vax to get.
>>96580320nta, but they are catering to their audience. What is funny about it is the PCs always end up doing more Evil things than Good.
>>96580217These people are so full of themselves, they think they can act. Performing for an audience isn't RP anyway.
