Lore edition>Hero to many. Enemy to some. When Thjazi Fang is marked for execution, various figures from across his remarkable life unite to uncover the truth behind his grim fate. In a land still suffering from the fallout of dead gods and living in the shadow of a tumultuous rebellion, these disparate people will come together across the fractured world of Aramán and connect in ways they never imagined.>As hope and victory fade, a question hangs over Aramán. Without the Gods, what great deeds now fall to us? And who, or what, shall grab their crown from themselves?Previous episodesEpisode 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Mbynm0pGX0Episode 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBQMuDAe4rE
Roll stats
>>96764857>>96764861reddit does these infocharts? sad criticalrolestats is dead
Why did they have to invent their own cosmology etc and does this mean this setting has nothing to do with Exandria
>>96764887no connection to Exandria
>Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford would be helping Brennan with the design of elements of the new campaign, including new homebrew subclasses, feats, backgrounds, and spells.Why can't they just settle with the subclasses already there. Why do they have to invent new shit every campaign
>>96764857Are they using 2024 rules?
>>96764887Nope. This is a new world, new setting, new Gods, new lore, new characters, new.. everything. There's absolutely nothing that ties this to any of the previous 3 champions.
>>96765425I believe they're using their own modified rules of 2024 that was homebrewed with the help of Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford.
>>96764887Wich is lame, and it discourages people from getting into Exandria
>The Stone of Nightsongbut what does Aylin and her stone have to do with all of this
>>96764857
>>96764857>c4>half the party is human>other half are humanoidsI know this is not a universal rule hut. Did none of them (besides the lion guy) picked up a fish guy or a centaur, or a turtle, or anything that is not human but with different skin color?
Cross fingers that Ep3 has less Orc druid in it. I really hope that she's not in the group with Wic and Tyranny. I want to see how the priest and daemon dynamic changes, now that the truth to Wic's faith is revealed to him, but it'll just ruin the whole mood if that Orc is trying to fuck the daemon every time they're in the same room together.
apologies for being new to D&Dbut what the fuck are these stats? total score of 92 at level 3? why isn't the DM kicking this obvious powergamer out?
>>96767916If they're rolling for attributes, that's an entirely possible (if super unlikely) spread. Hell, unless they are using rolled stats, or the GM is super generous with character build points, it's impossible to get stats like that.
>>96767916I didn't play dnd rule system since 3rd edition but those are some bullshit stats on all the characters.In the past there was standard heroic array where you had 15,14,13,12,10, & 8. (72 total) 98 is total bullshit-I never seen a character with so many high stats in decade of playing dnd.I feel as times move on stats are getting higher and higher. god forbid your highest stat is only 14 or 15.
>>96766236So far I'd say the tables are going to beTable 1>Wic>Tyranny>TeorTable 2>Thaisha>Thimble>Azune>Occtis>KattiganTable 3>Bolaire>Azune>MurrayDon't know where Julien or Vaelus would fit in
>>96767916>>96767982Brennan said this was a deadly campaign so they went>Roll 5d6 drop the two lowest As opposed to previous CR campaigns where Matt goes>Roll 4d6 drop the 1 lowest
>>96768000*Halandil instead of Azune for table 3
>>96767916>>96767979Its pretty obvious the group prefers power fantasy-type of sessions over dungeon crawling type of gameplay. Personally I find that style of gameplay fucking boring but to each their own.
https://x.com/CriticalRole/status/1978921544907698208Who provided Brennan with the most character information>Robbie Daymond (not even close)>Honorable mentions: Luis Carazo, Taliesin Jaffe & Sam ReigelWho gave the least>Travis (just a short paragraph)>Marisha (came up with the last name for her character 30 seconds before the start of the episode)
>>>/tv/
Why are the threads being made so early now? Last week it was made on Sunday lole
>>96768936>MarishaThat explains why she gave the dwarf a man's surname, though I wouldn't put it past these people to do it on purpose.
>>96768025Ah, that makes sense. I was going to say, the spreads had the look of "I rolled at home" otherwise.
>>96770343those names aren't used that way anymore in anglo countries
>they forgot about Ashley sitting outside Hal's house the whole time
Do you regret saying Tyranny is the worst character yet?
>>96770669But I always hated Aabria's character the most? I wish Ashley had done a bit more of a voice too. That's not relevant but I wanted to say it anyway.
>>96770669its still marisha's character
150s my body is ready
>>96770669Tyranny and Wick are hard-carrying so far. I will rage if they are split up.
>calls for an insight roll>tells you nothing Bravo DM
A disturbing lack of our Main Character, Liam so far
Brennan hands out advantage too freely. If you want them to succeed dont ask for a roll.
>>96771041Brennan has a story to tell and he will tell it dice be damned
Jiggly Gobbo Booty
>>96771030on a 5, yeah
Matt's character is such an asshole kek
*mute*
>that buldge
peak performance
>>96767916There is a reason we only see rolls they agree to post a pic of after the fact.Their "game" is entirely fake because they script PC arcs, ant their campaign outcomes are predeterminedThe fact that they can cheat/storytell at every turn and still call it D&D, shows what kind of people they are.
When do we finally get to see him get a little......weird?
>>96764857WE'RE SO BACK!we actually aren't, i know but i'm a hopeful idiot
The Halovar plot is definitely the most interesting part.
can we have the episode for download?
Missing her.........
Yeah Wicc is the most interesting character and it ain't close. Sam cooked again.
>1/2 hr in>yapping with 1 PCMulligan loves to hear himself talk even more than Mercer. This campaign is going to be another slog.
So what's up with the demons?
>>96771215they're too lewd
>>96764857An infographic or three like this would be, at least to someone like me, a much preferred introduction compared to this...what is it, four episode "preamble" or whatever they call it?I'm still waiting for them to fight monsters and obtain treasures and whatnot.
>>96771215Nevermind
Really interested to see how this ends up performing in the long run. I think all of these massive changes all at once (new DM, new expanded cast, not all of the old cast is present 100% of the time, new setting) and the fact that they're doing this "overture" for 4 episodes where they're barely playing D&D (no combat, rolls have been largely meaningless) will end up turning off a lot of people before they move into the "real" campaign with split tables
>>96771228I feel like I'm going to need some youtuber to give me a 30 minute rundown of what happened I can wrap my head around everything that happened
So this campaign is going to be about replacing the gods or something?
Marisha jiggle physics
Mark my words, Liam WILL get his 4hrs of one on one with Laura!Captcha has gone to shit again>type characters that have circles above them>3 diamonds, 2 circles - nope>type characters that have circles above them>4 diamonds
>>96771203Still won't watch if he's in aabria's group; which he will be.
Please kill Marisha's character.
>>96771301Agreed. I don't like it.
Finally a combat this time for reqalsies
COOOOMMMBAAAAAAAAT
We have a map
I'm sure the combat will be heckin deadly with brennan at the helm!
>>96766143I’m so fucking glad there just humans or humanoids.Having them be le peaceful bugbear with an epic warrior turtle and some fire genie ect is so fucking stupid.The “this group is checking diverse and so colourful had its crescendo with campaign 3
>I'm gonna go in his pants!NOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Laura is gonna stab this guy's balls.
I need Wick and Tyranny to produce offspring, rapidly and constantly
completely lost>3 players at table>bunch of PCs in same room>their players are in building>All 3 at table get their turnSo the PCs randomly become NPCs?
>>96771174Why?I saw the add for the mighty nein or whatever. The voices sounded like trash.
These are our heroes.
>you will never have a fairy in your pants
>>96771213He does but he's generally setting something up, he likes his gotcha's and soft fuck you player moments more than most.
>>96771440thought I saw the other PC minismaybe not
Jokes aside how was Liam as orym or whoever he was in campaign 3?From my recollection he was way less annoying and didn’t really give off any edgy I’m the mc energy.
>>96771458He was boring and this new character sounds like the same boring shit again.
>Save us Ashley!Oh, they're fucked.
>it's an Ashley turn episode
>>96771480>OK, OK ,OK OK OK
>>96771458He sidelined himself mostly and the campaign suffered for it immensely.
>Ashley walks in and hangs herself
>>96771228Ahh its a gay world where the orks rebelled against their 'shaper' or god and ended up triggering a mortals vs gods war, that the gods mostly lost it seems like. thats in the 100-80 years ago range. This ended up causing the fey (and maybe giants) to act out as one of the four classes of Primordial being (the others being fae and giant, and demon and celestials). This was the trigger for the war of 'Axe and Vine' that most of the characters were young adults in during the last years of it. The Fae had enough of this shit and closed the door to fae, there was some bullshit rebellions because leftists will never stop tearing things down but those rebellions against the Local Lords (called Sundered Houses) failed big time. Then 10 years pass making these kids who grew up in a war agains the fae and lords have I don't know I didn't watch more then 15 mins of this.
>>96771458>Says Orym knows every detail of VM characters interactions between them (even private ones), because he "overheard" conversation.>Good aligned PC goes right along with constant Evils of party.>constant cheating, as usualLiam is and always will be a piece of shit
Ashley is in PEAK mid-season form already.
Its been 10 FUCKING years and Ashley cant resolve an attack. Holy shit.
>Smite Bonus ActionGayest shit I ever saw
>>96771514She's never had to learn. They just "storytell" to success.
I'm going to miss Matt saying "but good looking out" after Ashley tries to do or asks about doing something fucking retarded because she doesn't understand the rules after being paid to play this game for over 10 yearsIt was his polite way of saying "no, you don't know what you're talking about, you're a dumbass"
Ashley doesn't understand anything to no one's surprise. Brennan having to play for her, it's embarrassing.
>>96771520Paladins got nerfed into the dirt because they were deleting bosses.
>be professional D&D player for over 10 years>still not knowing how to play the game that has made her rich and famous
>>96771534The fact that she chose what appears to be a combat focused character is insane. Watching her stumble through combat with Yasha was unbearable.
She's your problem now, Brennan!
>>96771552Looks like this could be even worse than yasha
>>96771458Orym sucked because it was Liam's first time NOT trying to be the Hero Protagonist, and the campaign actually suffered for it. Everyone else was retarded and stumbling through the campaign without actually having true character motivation. His character COULD have steered the ship into less retarded waters, but he refrained.also he was a literal faggot so that's another negative
This is so gay>bro people are like, totally gonna die in this campaign>NONONO THE BADASS ELVEN WARRIOR MAIDEN CANNOT MISS HER FIRST ATTACK, TAKE THIS ADVANTAGE!!They're never beating the scripted allegations.
>>96766143Non-humanoids are generally less popular as it is>>96767916One of the girls has like a 95 or something, compared to the cat guy being at like 73 is quite funny
>AshleyMaybe her frivolous (said judge) restraining order did Foster a favor, after all. Poor bastard was doomed either way the day he met her.
damn blood thirsty elves........
Based sociopath
this hag elf needs to be taught some manners with BIG HUMAN COCK
>>96771562this is why no one who runs 5e uses flanking
>>96771562Let's be honest Ashley needs as many mea culpas as can be given, just to get her combat over with so they can move on to interesting characters. Just think of her as a poorly-written background NPC
i was not paying attention for the last 2h, what if anything has happened
>>96771624Teor is about to get merkedRepressed Gay and Demon Girl are going to save himMarisha is looking for the NecrotwinkThis group is looking for someone for some reason I'm fuzzy on that part
>>96771624Travis is going to die. Sam and Whitney are trying to save him. Marisha's character almost got killed. The rest of the episode was a mediocre combat that just ended.
>>96771624Ashley still doesn't know how to play
>>96771634>This group is looking for someone for some reason I'm fuzzy on that partTeor's brother, trying to figure out if he was the traitor
this campaign seems like it'll end up incorporating a lot of retarded PC betrayal and PvP
Big ass on the water bottle
>>96771597Oh did her restraining order get dropped against him? He seemed like an alcoholic maniac on instagram
/ourqueen/ is in
>>96771771>everyone can dance and perform magicGAYYYYYYYYYYYYY
session 3 and I already don't care. that's a record for a main campaign
>The plants around me wilt and die because I'm sad or angry>The plants around me get greener and flowers bloom because I'm happyHow many fucking times is Aabria going to do this?
>please reconsider! dont use your divine smite!Mulligan is spoon feeding them
>>96771880She has to let everyone know she's the center of attention
>>96771885to be fair to brennan his options are either spoonfeed ashley or have a totally useless character at the tablebut hey maybe this campaign she'll finally learn how to play d&d
>>96771886Unironically she doesn't get RPG's she's been ruined by fanfiction and romantasy and mythic fantasy. She can't understand a character reacting to the world only the world reacting to her character. It took that shitty dimension 20 wizards game based on ALWAYS BE EXPLODING to really show me this. >>96771885He's just setting the hooks.
>>96771885I'm thinking this is the training wheels period, and as a production they need this portion to make it through the first four episodes for everything to work. So if Ashley is completely lost and dead before that, it'll screw everything up. Kinda has no choice but to steer her in the right direction here.
>>96771885if you don't spoonfeed Ashley you'll be there all day waiting while she says 'uhm' and pokes at her ipad for a half hour
>>96771645>>96771634so what has happened since the beginning? the guy got executed, they all talked for hours at the funeral, what else?
>>96771991They talked about fruit leather a lot.
>>96771991Machinations
Luis is rather handsome isn't he
>>96771991something with a mask(cursed?)I think there are too many characters with too much going on. I'm hoping it'll fall into place eventually and perhaps I'll stop getting distracted
>>96771915this is true
>>96772004He's also homo but he feels to autistic and awkward to me, like you can see clearly in this scene he has no idea what to do
>>96772005I mean the shapers were gods with presumably at least epic is not fully divine levels of magic. Presumably all of them would have had a ress protocol of some kinds. Maybe not the dumb or haughty ones.
>>96771991The funeral for the dead guy lasted until halfway into the second episode. Yes, it was that fucking long.The dead guy had a mysterious magical chest with a mysterious magical thing in it that was apparently the casket of a god or something. idk it's mysterious magic bullshitLaura's fairy character was supposed to deliver a magic item to help the dead guy escape being dead but she was ambushed before she could leave and they've been investigating thatSam's character's family has established a new religion that Sam's character has totally bought into but it turns out they're warlocks and are siphoning power from a tortured celestial they are keeping prisonerhaven't been paying attention this episode (I watch the VODs later) but it had the first combat encounter of the campaign. That's right. They didn't have any combat for the entirety of the first two episodes. And both of those episodes were over 4 hours long
>>96772025you know that sounds kinda interestingthe problem is id rather read a recap than watch the fucking show because ever since C3 i havent cared about the characters and with this campaign i dont even care about the playersI USED TO WATCH 5H OF C1 LIVE EVERY THURSDAY BECAUSE IT USED TO BE GOOD AND I CARED ABOUT THEM
>I'm gonna roll this in front of the board>No camera angle all of a suddenthey had to do retakes didn't they
Sam never lets me down
>>96772099Hes carrying the whole show.
whatever table sam and whitney are on will absolutely be the table to watch
>>96772099Honestly it's the only thing I'm interested in with this campaign. If he is with the orc group, I'm not watching this shit and dropping it like c3
>>96772106I'm pretty sure them and Travis will be the "schemer" table, maybe with 1 more person. And yes it will be the best table.
>>96772056Same, brotherI’m just waiting for the tables to split to see if there’s anything good
>We all know you are the Big Boss
Based Matt
Pffft lol
>I don't know what to doI told you she would become submissive before long
Are the Thimble and Occtis in a relationship or just friends??
>Liam and Aabria as wellso close to heaven
>>96772169She met him as a kid so that would be (based) grooming.
>>96770669No, she's awful. The character combined with the way Whitney dresses and does her makeup irl screams >"I'm such a quirky girl"It's like she saw jester and decided to actively try to be more of a weird character
>>96772195If you honestly think she's worse than aabria, you are a nigger.
>>96772195Just say you hate women it's quicker
>>96771560>Waaaah, why is Liam always the main character, it ruins the entire campaign>Waaaah why doesn't Liam be the main character and save this campaign
Aabria removed herself from the scene. It's all coming together.
>>96772204when Liam is not on screen every character should be saying "where is Liam"
>>96772202That's a given, it's about which one is the worst not whether they're bad or not.
>>96772204My post was less about wanting Liam to be the main character and more about how C3 was so shit that even Liam pulling a Liam would've been an improvement
>>96772199If you think she isn't you're a simp
Every second of new CR content is pure suffering because it doesn't feel like C1 and it just hurts to know that feeling of being excited for a new live episode every Thursday with Grog and Scanlan and Vex and the others and cool guests and actual stakes and cool shit happening all the time and loveable NPCs and all of it IS NEVER COMING BACK
>>96772224The most sobering aspect of it is seeing people comment on later C3 and now C4 videos saying how they miss the good ol' days but they cite C2 as being those good old days. In my eyes, C2 had already started the downward trajectory.if only you knew how bad things really are etc etc
>>96772224this is why I loved Age of Umbra, I had zero expectations for that project
>>96772230too many shit PCs in C1. Vax, Scanlan, Percy, Keyleth
>>96772217I accept your concession, nigger
>>96772243Too busy jerking to OF girls to reply simp?
>>96772230Everyone's favorite pokemon is the one they played when they were 10, nostalgia is poison.
>>96772245>This is the level of nigger-loving retard we're dealing with this campaign Things are grim indeed
Robbie Laura Sam Whitney Travis table?If this is confirmed the other 2 tables have literally no chance.
>>96772275Please God
>>96772230c2 had absolutely outstanding guests and was still live at the beginning. And despite everything I watched the whole 7h finale. C3 is the real decline where nothing had any weight from the beginning
That dude's gonna start stinking soon
>>96772305Leave Robbie alone...
Soldier table will absolutely mog the other 2, though it sounds like they won't be on next week's episode.
holy shit, all-star table confirmedunfortunately that also means this campaign will be unwatchable for 2-4 months at a time (or more if they still take off one week a month)
>>96772340>>96772346Wasn't paying attention, who's in the soldier table?
>>96772308does Robbie shower? He always look so greasy/sweaty
>>96772353robbie, laura, travis, sam, whitney absolutely goated table, no other group will get even close to being as entertaining
Is it just me or is Matt not gelling with this campaign at all.
>>96772376i could tell from the very start he was not as enthused as he had been in previous campaigns. I don't think he likes the campaign structure much. My guess is that as we get further in, both him and his character will find a more comfortable niche to reside in.
So second table is Aabria, Matt, Ashley and Alex?
>>96772388Probably. I think they will be the schemers.
>>96772388Sounds meh, I know Aabria and Alex do a lot of campaigns together and are probably comfortable with each other as players. But would have liked to split them up.
Is there any combination of people that will be bearable at this point? I can see Matt carrying his table but not if its with the orc
>laid down after making dinner listening to a fan recap of last week's episode>fucking fell asleep and missed both half of the recap and tonight's entire episode>apparently tonight's show was arguably the strongest and most interesting yetwhat a fucking travesty. now im going to be afflicted with an 'eepy debuff tomorrow AND im going to have to steal an episode somewhere and watch it saturday night. FUCK
I wonder how lost in the story you'd be if you skip the shit table(s) episodes. Still so much unknown about how they are going to handle West MarchesI missed the start of this episode; did Brennan do another bullshit cold open? That's going to get old fast if he keeps doing it. But it was funny to see so many comments on episode 2 complain about being lost and wondering if they missed something (it's really not that confusing if you pay attention for more than 10 seconds, but it was a dumb waste of time)>>96772376Some ForeverDMs talk a big game about wanting to be able to play, but then once they actually get the chance, it ends up not being quite their thing. Grass is always greener and all that.
>>96772428>did Brennan do another bullshit cold open? He did
stop asking for rolls if you want the player to succeed stop asking for rolls if you want the player to succeed stop asking for rolls if you want the player to succeed
>>96772446I don't understand this meme. You can have your table roll for both likely and unlikely things. Making them eat some resources to succeed things they otherwise should've is perfectly reasonable.
where's beacon anon, I want to see the cool down but fuck giving these yucks $10
>>96772461It's getting uploaded to pic related now/l/VMK2bWfB
>>96772459I'm pretty sure he's talking about all the advantages being handed out like candy
>>96772469bless you
so what happened?t. not gonna watch but wanna know
>>96772488It's Critical Role, you know what happened.
so Schemers is going to be the 100% skip partyLuis, Marisha, Melty and Leem
>>96772469>soldier table skipping next weekSee you guys in 2 weeks I guess
dead....
I wonder how the other two tables will split
>>96772518What are the tables?>>96772748Did Teor bite the dust?
>>96772855>Soldiers: Thimble, Kattigan, Teor, Wicander, and Tyranny This group will be focused on chasing Casimir and Cyd north. Confirmed at the end of the episode.>Schemers: Hal, Bolaire, Murray, and Azune This group will deal with the politics of the Sundered Houses within Dol-Makjar as they took control of institutions. All the characters have jobs within the city that are or could be threatened by them.>Seekers: Vaelus, Julien, Occtis, and Thaisha This group is going to need to get out of the city fast to escape from Occtis' father. Eventually it seems they will have to deal with House Tachonis' meddling in the realm of death.
>>96772863Looks like it's solely soldiers for me - Schemers is full of retards, and Seekers has Abr*a (not to mention another Taliesin weirdo)
>>96772872Wait, shit, I misremembered character names, Seekers would be fine if not for the pavement ape
>>96772863If they switched Luis with Aabria I'd be more inclined to watch Seekers
>>96772863Soldiers are OP and schemers are close to unwatchable. Seekers could go either way since Matt and Alex's characters seem interesting.
>>96772417what's a good youtube channel for recaps?
>>96772863A shame, occtis was actually growing on me, but hell no on a table with both Julien, and Thaisha
>>96772863soldiers looks like pure kinoschemers looks watchable but boringseekers is the obvious skip. too bad about losing occtis
>>96771698It got dropped. The lawsuit (harassment claims against him by a group of women including Ashley) in which she fabricated things to help, was settled out of court. We'll never know if he actually did anything wrong, but it's clear Ashley isn't so innocent. She was apparently even letting her lawyer harass his dying mother.
>>96772224C1 stakes were never real. The worst that could happen even in their home game was getting white hair because they had "died". With their consensual deaths, they were always going to win. Matt was just better then at the creating the facade. Just look at Vax failing upward. By C2, Liam began going apeshit when he couldn't cheat complete success every turn. CR will always suck now because the control freak cast needs to script stories instead of just letting the dice decide.
Are they still going to be doing these constant table changes every episode? Is Brennan incapable of keeping track of in-game time if they aren't? It really disrupts the flow. Apparently just like Matt, the entire world also revolves solely around the PCs.
>>96764861These stats never tell the real story. WHEN they succeed is the key. Liam is very cagey that way. >nat20 insight claim to get all possible info at beginning of campaignDigital/honest rolls will never happen
>>96774134The first 4 episodes ('the overture') are the only ones with all players present, after that there will be three tables with vaguely themed player sets (soldiers, seekers and schemers) with subsequent sessions focused on just one table. Players might rotate between tables as the story progresses and their goals and locations change.
>>96774404>tfw 20 episodes in your favorite table gets infected by a retard
>>96771274just got to that partMatt is eating well, gentlemen, it's glorious to seeAll the female characters are built for BHC (big human cock) this time around, even Thaisha
>Marisha talking about how her character's big tits are jiggling as she walks>lifting her own tits to illustrateI'm a simple man

>>96775169Peak Kentucky right here
for the first time we had a high ranking NPC actually try to punish a player for acting like a chaotic dickhead and people will still say C1 was peak
>>96775169my hyuck mama
Missed the stream is there a free version out there?
>>96777136>>96772469or wait for the YouTube video on Monday
>>96775668Try being the key word.
YES! Thimble, Teor, Wic, Kattigan, and Tyranny all in the same table. I was so worried that dump Orc bitch was going to ruin the moments between Wic and Tyranny if they were all partnered up. When she turned into a wolf instead of a bird and just ran away, I was happy.Surprisingly, Ep2 and 3 had the least amount of screen time with her, and now we'll get a goat table without her interference.Downside is now she'll no doubt be at the same table with Mat.. So, good luck to him because he's going to get her chewing his ear off every change she gets.
>>96772275I might watch the soldiers table. >>96772459most skill rolls or even attacks don't count as resources spent. (attacks coming in are a different matter but outgoing attacks, you get as many as you want). So rolling for checks when you know you won't let them fail the roll is mostly pointless. It doesn't eat resources, all it eats is your actual in life time, which is only compounded by how fucking slow and attention seeking these dumb cunts are. There is a little argument for 'training the players how to play' but I doubt Brennan can pull that off.
>>96771514>>96771534>>96771552>>96771612>>96771906>>96771926We'll never get a truly candid answer to this, but I bet that Matt never included her when he was creating and balancing encounters. She never contributes anything meaningful. In the final encounter vs the BBEG of C3, they were 15th level, and she was still just firing off fucking Scorching Ray. Next-to-useless. So encounters were probably not designed with her in mind, because it they were, she would be a massive liability. Instead he just let her pitiful damage be a small bonusof course it's not like Matt was all that great at balancing anyways
>>96775074Shame she had to giver her a beard.
>>96777736it boggles the mind how someone can be that retarded
13 characters means a higher chance of PC deaths, right?
>>96777985Apparently, Brennan had them roll backups. I'll believe it when I see it.
Will the final boss be capitalism?
unholy reddit thread
was casually searching up whitney and now i've seen her nipples
>>96778261gentrification
>>96774558Absolutely going to happen if/when they notice the table with thaisha in it is getting noticably lower views than the others.
>>96778722Nah, the Melty/Marisha table is going to get the least views simply because it sounds boring as fuck. They overestimate how much people want to see local political intrigue in their actual plays.
>>96778261Evil rich white families oppressing poor orc communities, plus a corrupt fake church. Oh and someone is collecting items that might be used to transport people to the various culture's afterlife.At least that's the plot so far, it will probably explode out to some world threatening bullshit eventually. Maybe the angel will escape and go tear open a portal to the primordial realm.
>>96772863So Brennan is doing LOTR but with three groups instead of two.
>>96779004Yeah, Matt can carry the seeker table as long as his character keeps calling out Aabriya's shit. Ashley is a complete non factor RP wise, but she will definitely slow down combat. Alex seems like a good player. There is no saving the schemer table. Worst character in the campaign Murray, Taliesin playing another freak, personality of wet cardboard Luis, and Liam "That's a natural 20' O'brien.
>>96771597>>96773954I'm honestly certain that the "jokes" about him they talked about weren't received anywhere near as well by him as he claimed. Probably had to, "Remember to love each other," and bear it. Bunch of sadistic cunts.
Ashley genuinely seems stupid and it actually makes me feel bad for her. It's not just that she gets flustered when resolving combat, she can't even seem to piece things together. I remember in C2 Matt set up some kind of combat where the other players were all storm elementals or something and it was clear it was done to coach her on playing her own character and she still bumbled her way through I didn't even seem to know she could heal herself with her Aasimar abilities. Does she have legitimate brain problems or mental illness, or has she just been in the Hollywood machine for so long that it's left her stunted?
>>96781289
>>96781345god it seems like they all started to feel bad as they realized just how dumb she is
>>96781289Ashley just wants to have fun playing DnD, leave her alone. Now she should just play a fighter/barbarian so she doesn't have to deal with all the spell shit
>>96781396She played a barbarian before and could barely manage that. I'm glad she has her friends to help her play but you could have her role one single dice and play a mascot character that spouts catchphrases and I think everyone would have more fun. Snarf.
>>96772376Ashley and Aabria are half his party, I wouldn’t either
>>96781345This cannot be real.>the look on their faces when they realize she's a genuine retardbruh
>>96779540It's amazing how quickly these cliques backstab their friends. The Satine situation comes to mind, despite CR being worse grifters themselves. >Highest paid on Twitch (owned by Amazon)>Sam and possibly other in cast working directly with Amazon on different series>do Kickstarter vanity project (before leaks showed they already were rich enough to fund it themselves)>take more money from Amazon for full series knowing donors wouldn't be able see what they paid for without Prime subscription.They really are the stereotypical Hollywood scumbags.
