This episode is the one that made me understand the people claiming Matt makes the game too easy for them

I mean, what's the point of having the resurrection minigame if it's only DC10?

It's harder to make a death save than to resurrect the dead?
>>
>>51165912
But Resurrection typically has no DC.

Maybe it's an "easy save," but Mercer's resurrection mechanics are literally more punishing than the default
>>
>>51165945

Not really, given that he lets them retcon having the reagents

>>51164015

Such nurds xDDDDD
>>
>>51166017
Dude, they have Raise Dead. There is no obstacle to a party bring a dead member back at their level other than damage being done to the body.

Also, did they not have 500g worth of diamonds? 'Cause that's kinda pittance at their level. I'm pretty sure they just pulled it out the bag of holding which, yeah, that's not surprising.

Death isn't that difficult to overcome in 5e unless you start throwing enemies that fuck with the body. The resurrection ritual easy, but it's harder than the default.

Simple question - is it worth watching? I'm not talking about having good moments here and there, but actually watching all of it.
>>
>>51167144
...I mean all campaigns are a little semi-scripted. Lots of DMs'll have an overarching plot or a quest-line n mind, he'll adapt to what the players do while trying to reintroduce as many resource they've already made as possible. That seems fair, it's a style of DMing.

Travis is only one worth watching of the regular cast

Oh yeah Mercer is 9/10 husbando, but i'd imagine he's vanilla as hell if you talk to him normally

He had a sweet Geralt cosplay tho

>>51164015

Are we supposed to seriously believe those girls are roleplayers?
>>
>>51167385
...Yeah? I mean, they do. Not that well, to be honest (Vex is alright) but they do. I mean they're not supermodel hot - they are voice actors, not regular actors.
>>
>>51166017
I don't think he does, I believe he just simplified it when he started giving out loot piles large enough to warrant their being a table for gold coins AND gems in the X-Y gold coin range.

I do remember him saying that the party got some amount (several thousand to tens of thousands worth of gp) in gems back when they killed Vorugal just to simplify things.

And I believe it's assumed that for spells that require expensive reagents (like Revivify or Raise Dead) they're given ahead of time to the people who can cast it (Pike, Keyleth).
>>
>>51167403

The red-haired one looks like a slut.
>>
>>51167266
Ok, let's reformat the question - how does it compare to Gamers?
>>
>>51167403
Laura's improved her roleplaying since they started filming their game sessions (from mediocre to pretty good), Marisha has stated that Keyleth is meant to be this moral ground and awkward character to roleplay as a challenge for herself to improve her roleplay skills (for better or worse).

Ashley is the only one of the group that's an actual actor but it's a combination of Pike's personality and Ashley's relative inexperience with tabletops in general (this campaign was her first one period) that makes her roleplay seem awkward.
>>
>>51167247
Watch episode one and see if you can deal with the cast. If you can't deal with Orion he leaves around 24ish?

I think it's alright, some characters/players are better than others (Travis role plays pretty well compared to others)

As with many things, give it a shot yourself and make a decision after.
>>
>>51167247
I think it's pretty good to watch. Matt is an excellent dm and so there's a lot to learn about how to dm from him. Sam and Travis are top tier players we are entertaining to watch but are by far the best role players. Everyone else is hit or miss except for Marisha (and Orion when he was there). Plus Ashley is my waifu
>>
>>51167430
You're probably not wrong
>>
>>51167922
If I had time to watch entire episode, I wouldn;t be asking questions while circling tabs in the office, would I?

So far this thread convinced me to avoid it like fire
>>
>>51168223
Honestly the first 20-ish episodes are skippable. They help introduce you to the characters and some of their intricacies, but the growing pains of the first dozen episodes combined with tech issues take away some of that enjoyment.

It's around episode 24 or 25 when the second arc begins and things really pick up there. Also, you don't have to watch it; it's entirely possible to just listen to it like a podcast and you'll get 90-95% of everything said. You just miss out on the reactions from the players when they get killing blows or natural 20s or a tense moment occurs.

It's a shake Travis is stuck with a relatively simple character and that he's really a smart guy. Maybe the smartest of the group.

I stopped watching after a bit because I couldn't stand the girls trying to be smart and make terrible plans and shit, but I'm thinking about picking it back up again. Plus lizard guy was being a bitch, but I know he leaves eventually.

Mercer's GMing is pretty decent though. He's been trying to set up games for him to play in with Rollplay.
>>
What do you anons think is going to happen tonight?

It's a completely different thing. Gamers is a much shorter comedic film, while this is just a filmed unedited multi-hour DnD game

>>51172938
It was so incredibly underwhelming. I feel like Kvarn and the Briarwoods were so much more exciting
>>
>>51173353
Yeah, I know, Thordak was literally not!Deathwing and got the dicking. I was expecting them to go in and be cocky like usual and all get one shot by his breath weapon. I guess Matt giving them resist potions and a gorillian magic items on top of babying them makes things difficult to balance anything. I know he's gonna pull the whole "Thordak was Raishan's or X BBEG's pawn all along!!!", just so frustrating not a single person even got downed I think besides one nobody npc.
>>
>>51167247
It's pretty good overall, a few rough patches here and there.
>>
>>51174266
When he handed out just enough fire resist potions for everyone who needed them you could tell he was going to go easy on them
>>
>>51174561
An other instance of him going easy on them was the resurrection rules.
Up until the recent episode it always been 3 cheeks, starting at DC 10, decrease by 3 for success, increase by 1 for fails and a final roll by the DM to see if it works. He said many times he wants resurrection to be a part of the world, but not to be too easy and therefore giving death an actual meaning as the spell can fail.
In comes the Raishan fight were he randomly drop his rules to a single roll because they're in a fight and he knows that even with all the shit he gave them they're still gonna lose so he makes it easier.

IIRC He said something along the lines of he doesn't want anyone to die because it would be weird adding a new PC in the far into the story.

Yeah the oneshot with Liam as the DM really showed what Travis can do with a non retarded character.
>>
>>51167247
It's a pretty good show, desu. Some of the group are definitely better roleplayers than others, but there are plenty of genuinely cool/tense/dramatic moments and just as many humorous ones. Plus, Matt Mercer is actually a pretty cool DM. Definitely would recommend it unless you're an autist over numbers. They've said over and over the play it loose with rules.

I'm not going to sing the praises of the whole cast, but on the whole they're pretty normal for a DnD group, and a roleplaying group as a whole. They're reasonably amusing, and I can't count the number of times my sides were in fucking orbit.

Like, most groups aren't perfect. There's very few who come up with plans that actually work well. They're imperfect, because they're people and for most of them, this is their first campaign. Maybe the PC's will be better if they play something else after DnD, or have new characters, but for the moment they're good enough.

Also will sing the praises of just one person besides Matt. Sam Riegal is an absolute gem, and deserves all the praise, because Scanlan is a character that steals all the luck routinely.

For what it's worth, Laura had a grade A roleplay moment during their show tonight.

So they get back to Whitestone after minor looting of Thordak's horde and coordinating with various NPCs to help rebuild the city to rest, recover, and have some celebratory drinks for breakfast.

They also go to get cleaned off and have long, hot baths. Vax (butt naked) finishes his bath fast and walks over to Percy's bath to have a quick moment to talk to him about how he is going to try and treat Percy more like family. All the while Percy is embarrassed and says, "I was working on something," and is trying to get Vax to leave, when he finally does, the whole talk lasting a minute.

Queue Laura, roleplaying as Vex, bursting up out of the bath with Percy as she was holding her breath underneath the water and bubbles, saying that she thought he wouldn't leave.

>>51178043
For a moment i had an issue with it, but really, the magic is just a summoning, so when he shows up, hes still an ancient brass, and an ancient brass is ALWAYS going to be interested in destroying an ancient chromatic if in a position to do so.
>>
>>51180617
They have level 8 spells, and their NPC friends are canonically better than them. If they don't currently have access to True Resurrection if they really need it, they can probably find it pretty easily.
>>
>>51167385
What do you mean "believe"?
Do you not see them roleplay in the show? Do you think somebody else is doing the roleplay for them?
Do you think they have roleplay stuntmen?

What are you even trying to suggest, here?

>Ashley is the only one of the group that's an actual actor but it's a combination of Pike's personality and Ashley's relative inexperience with tabletops in general (this campaign was her first one period) that makes her roleplay seem awkward.
The biggest issue is her inconsistency, which makes sense considering her schedule. It's hard enough to roleplay well on a regular basis, but she touches Pike maybe once every month and a half, for a couple hours.

The only positive is she clearly watches the show when she can, so it isn't as jarring as it could be.
>>
>>51180678
i believe entertainment is scripted, yes
>>
>>51180676
Oh yeah I forgot that true resurrection is so easy to cast (except for the relatively high cost). I've always house ruled it. Resurrection without a corpse is lazy imo.

But yeah, they can probably resurrect people pretty easily. So far I haven't seen many opponents capable of devouring or capturing souls.
>>
>>51180710
Why do you think it's scripted?
The playeres are relatively tame, because they follow the GM's plot (IE self inflicted railroading), but I doubt it's scripted.
>>
>>51180718
Pretty much every long running game with any real stakes need some sort of houserule for resurrection. The only issue with what Mercer uses is that it was clearly an early game DC, and he didn't think to scale it in any way.
>>
>>51180710
>>51180733
I doubt its scripted, but i have no doubt that there is some OOC communication about what and how things will be going in game. The players obviously do it, but i'd bet that Mercer gives them a bit of coaching behind the scenes too.
>>
>>51180743
He did say later on that night via Twitter that the DC goes up by 5 for every subsequent resurrection. So Vex is currently looking at a DC of 15 or 20 if she dies again (same for Grog, who has died twice in the campaign). Everyone else - except for Vax and Keyleth - have died at least once now, so they're looking at higher resurrection DCs as well.
>>
>>51180824
That's not too bad, but the issue stems from how he lets the ritual resolve, i don't think skill checks were they way to go about it.
>>
>>51180903
For the more involved rituals (Raise Dead, Resurrection, etc.) it's coaxing the person's spirit back from the afterlife to re-enter their body as the divine magic heals the lethal wounds and re-connects the body to the soul, and the skill checks are meant to be ways to aid in that process (either to provide more power to the magic or to convince the person's soul to come back).

For Revivify specifically it probably should just be a straight roll, maybe with one skill check by the caster to see if they can give that last gasp of aid, power, or convincing to the ritual before the spell completes.

Remember, Revivify is meant to be the shock paddles, so the DC might be a bit lower, but only one person can contribute to the spell. Raise Dead and the other spells are the actual literal rituals to revive someone, where the DC should be higher because the body's been dead longer (or in some cases, straight up re-made) and the soul's been in the afterlife for anywhere from days to years on end.
>>
>>51180676
>NPC friends are canonically better than them
Are they? Gilmore is lower level than them now and I think they're on the level with Alura and her merry band (She couldn't cast level 9 spells when they talked about the scroll of Gate)

I think only Earthbreaker Whatshisname is of higher level now

...I do that in my games. I might talk to another player, be like "Hey so I just realised we both had our families killed in similar ways, you want to maybe do a scene about that some time next session?" or go to the DM and be like "Hey, If it can be fit in anyway I'd maybe like some closure with Minor Villain X, I know he's minor but it'd help my character's arc". I feel like this is legit so long as the results are you know a product of roleplaying.

The only moments that Marisha really has good moments is when she's paired with that Kashaw guy (although that's more her doing than his).

well they cant just let one of the most popular characters (or really any of them) die at this point. i think people fail to realize that it isnt just a game of DnD at this point, its a partially scripted show designed to keep viewers

I'm happy to believe you if you can link me one of the times they talk about the script. I've never noticed it when I've been watching.
I've heard Mercer talk about his 'plans' for CR, but I mean he's the GM so its kind of his job to have some long-term plans of how things should go.
>>
>>51184360
They're actors, what they might think and talk about before time is in what ways the characters might grow and change.
And what we call roleplaying for them is called improv acting, an acquired skill this bunch (well, most of them) is fairly good at
>>
>>51184360
Again like... does nobody else talk to fellow players or their DMs about possible plans for stuff like conversations? I understand improvisation is important for roleplaying and I'd never pre-script the conversation, but sometimes it clicks that a scene would be cool and you might wanna check in with a DM or a player with this.

An example in Critical Role that I think is totally fair are the romances - the players talk with the DM and the other player before taking their characterisation in that direction. Which seems sensible to me, some players might not want to have to waste their time with that sort of stuff or trying to shoot your character down.

I think there was some shit about creative ownership of his character, and his handling of fans.
The dude was clearly frustrating the other players, and there was one obviously uncomfortable moment in the campaign, but I really don't think that's the whole reason.
I mean, they'd been playing with him for, what... 3 years?
>>
>>51184743
I bet she does the Shin Chan-voice in the bedroom.
>>
>>51186001
Keep in mind that *2 years* prior to the stream they said they only played once ever couple months it was just an all day thing. Also he wasn't part of the group the frew several seasions. So that means 21-9 sessions spaced out. Now they are weekly and more frequent, what you could have toleranted could become impossible at that point.

>>
>>51186408

>>51186435
Make a giant sun lazer. He was told by Matt repetedly that it won't work, still kept going.
>>
>>51164015
the cat fights with laura and that MILF are fun
>>
>>51186505
Mind you, the sun laser idea was coming from Percy, who was looking to use a combination of science (ie., mechanical engineering) aided by magic (Keyleth helping with specific making/crafting of glass and shaping of metal) to make an "Archimedes death ray" type of thing, because he succeeded enough on the knowledge check to know that at least one of the Briarwoods was a vampire (based on evidence from the prior session's fight), and that vampires HATE sunlight.

Percy's thinking was that maybe he could use the giant glass cannon to refract enough light from a powerful light source that wasn't the sun so that he could just walk through town and start not!Sunbeaming things, or just have Keyleth fire a Sunbeam into the glass refraction device to set off a pulse of Sunbeam energy to fry and vampires or other undead things in the town.

It didn't work (partially due to the size of the thing, partially due to him just not being high enough level to craft something that complex), so Percy's plan B was to just hope that his guns combined with his friends was enough to turn the tide, along with crafting some smaller stuff along the way (mainly some explosive arrows for Vex, a thing that he's done before).

Meanwhile, Tiberius got something like a 5 on his knowledge check on vampires, so he knew literally nothing. Yet he still tried to metagame and buy mirrors to do a similar thing to Percy, which earned a bunch of ire from the group and fans.

>>51165912
He's actually said on twitter that 10 is the starting DC. It increases by 5 every successive death. So Vex, Percy, and Grog all need a 20 if they die again.
>>

Oh wow, we all got 20's, how weird is that!

When did Percy die a second time? I'm only aware of his first death being during the Ripley fight. Was it pre-stream?

Dunno, I just used the totals on the stats website. Apparently he died twice against Ripley and goons.

Alrighty then. But the DC does start out high, the players during ceremonies can lower it by doing something
>>
I actually thought Tiberius as a character was fun. Awkwardly funny and a pretty cool spellcaster. Problem is Orion metagamed wayyyy hard and got on everyone's nerves too much. It's a shame.
In his last episode you could tell everyone was sick of his shit, even Matt. Orion kept trying to do something when Matt said it wouldn't work. Orion says "what if I try very hard?" so Matt let's him roll then slaps Tiberius with some big penalty as a DM-fuck-you. Then when Orion made the boner comment at Laura you can hear the anger in Travis' voice. Something tells me the group had a big talk off camera and that was one of the reasons for Orion's departure.

Laura gives me a boner too though

The little ritual/skill challenge thing they do lets them lower the DC. Eventually, after enough deaths, it will be impossible to raise someone.

Regardless, even a DC 1 rez failure chance is infinitely more costly and damaging than the default rules.

Matt's played a couple of games on Rollplay and was pretty great. Though it seems like he crafts his personal characters around what kind of voices he can make.

His range is pretty good though so it's not a big deal. It's just you'll notice "oh, that's angry McCree" or "oh that's his nerd from Crit Role"
>>
>>51174266
>>51174561
To be fair, Matt did this for a very obvious reason.

He forced the players on a timelimit while also giving them a McGuffin fetching quest that was necessary. Thordak literally couldn't be killed without their artifacts, which meant they didn't have enough time to go scrounge potions of fire resistance for themselves like any party could in a normal setting under these circumstances.

Players are assumed to have appropriate damage resistances when going into fights like Ancient Dragons. It's literally how the game was balanced, otherwise the Dragons wouldn't do so much damage.
>>
>>51180676
Allura is the only person at the same level as them (15) and she's the most powerful person they have at their disposal.

I hear he works the game like 6-8 hours a week or so, and watching after watching his GM tips I think he increases HP, AC by a little, makes the battles more than just basic monster vs Party fights he puts the environment as a large factor of the battle. He also buffs his monsters up a bunch. Like Raishan here.

Remember when Orion left Critical Role and went crazy and started wearing his Tiberius costume in real life because he thinks that everyone really loves that character and that's why he has his own mary sue audiodrama?

Also I'm pretty sure a few weeks ago he tweeted a lewd picture of his own butt in some kinda speedo or thong and then pretended he got hacked.
>>

Oh wait no he accidentally posted a dick pic and then pretended he didn't.

>>
>>51198312
For most of the ancient dragons they've fought, by in large he just doubles their max HP total because the party composition is basically 4 DPS, a dedicated cleric, and two utility casters.

It's only been in the last couple levels that a couple of the DPS has picked up enough HP to act as a pseudo-tank (Vax and Grog).

If they last to level 20 they'll be decent tanks, one being a DEX Rogue/Paladin, the other a Barbarian/Fighter with a boatload of HP.

I do think Travis is trying to min-max a bit, taking his last few levels in Fighter to grab Action Surge and probably go Champion archetype for Increased Critical range to do more DPS as he's a Berserker Barb.
>>
>>51198964
At times ask myself, how does Matt deal with Vax's haste and flying speed, returning teleporting Daggers thing... its kinda ridiculous.
>>
>>51197705

>>
Just starting episode one. Going through character backgrounds and I'm getting frostbite from all the special snowflake. Is it all like this?
>>
>>51199051
Well, keep in mind that Vax wasn't the one meant to have the armor, Percy was. It's just that they fucked up hard when they went to get it and Vax felt he'd made a deal with a God to save his sister.

The wings were meant to be a reward for good roleplay, and the boots were a carry over from Pathfinder. His intended Vestige was supposed to be Whisper, which would mostly solve the issue of a Rogue attacking and getting away safely in a fight with its blink ability.

If you look at the stats of the vestiges, you can tell they were designed ahead of time, back when they still had 8 people in the group, and it was intended to be 1 vestige per person. Now Percy is kind of peacemealing together enough benefits to make his vestige work with him, and IMO Ripley's gun is meant to be a replacement vestige after things changed.
>>
>>51199207
I get that but 480 feet in a turn is crazy! Also I feel Talisan does not use the Violent Shot feature enough with Animus, he could be doing a lot more regardless of vestige usage.
>>
>>51199090
It's just backstory made by mostly first-timers, those then to be overblown. Honestly, you'd be better off listening to it after a handful of episodes

So, in which episode is this comment of his? And when? I'd rather not have to sit through an hour of his shit just to find one comment.

>>51199926
Episode 27, 1:31:35. Out of the fucking nowhere.
>>
>>51199266
I don't know if it's just because I'm taking it at face value, but the mear fact that Percy can theoretically kill a Tarrasque in Two rounds singlehandedly is a little insane.
>>
>>51199976
Honestly I can't see too much wrong with that. It was a shitty attempt at humour that fell flat, but they all seem to move on fairly fast and no-one seems particularly offended.
It was a shit joke though.
>>
>>51200013
Seems like it's been the proverbial last straw
>>
>>51199993
To be fair, violent shot ruins his chance to hit. So he'd have to roll exceptionally well with 4x violent shot to actually make it work.
>>
>>51199976
Not him but that's so much worse then I remember it was. I don't know if i just missed that episode or what but it makes a lot more sense why they didn't want him anymore. There's one thing in making a bad joke, but that just doesn't fit the party dynamic at all. It's almost like he wasn't trying to make an actual joke, but was just trying to shut her up.
>>
>>51200039
I completely forgot about that. Honestly it's been some time since I've actually seen it, last I recall they were fighting Grog's Uncle. God I love how well Travis plays him.
>>
>>51199926
It's nothing special, anon. I think they were planning an attack and he said he had a tactical half chub or something. Just obviously lacking the comedic timing or charming personality Scalan has, it just came off as weird and I think grossed out the women.
>>
>>51200060
He doesn't use it much because I think it has a chance of fucking up his gun, so he doesn't like doing it.
>>
>>51199926
The looks on the faces of the others (Travis especially) are gold.

I mean, what the fuck.
>>
>>51200141
Travis was beyond done with him for several sessions at that point. At first I thought it was just a "Can we start fighting things again" face, but after watching Liam's one shot I can tell he's much more thoughtful than anyone there.

I kinda like the way it was done in High Rollers, someone was raised but had to go through rolls to see what would be the result of the resurrection and ended up coming back a few years younger than before with a permanent strength penalty for it. Gives resurrection some lasting consequences.

I wonder if something like that is too punishing on a player but it was a really cheap resurrection they got and the character died in the most idiotic way possible so maybe not now I think about it.

Kinda want to use the idea myself, maybe for a cheaper more shoddy form of coming back, people could come back older or younger than before, maybe half races end up full races (e.g. a half orc might come back a orc or human) or maybe something in their brain comes back wired wrong, and their skills in handle animal swaps with swimming. Adds a level of risk and punishment for fucking up.
>>
>>51200966
Mark also said that when a player rolls on his table of random resurrection effects, the effect rolled is applied and then this item on the table is replaced with something else so that it doesn't repeat later

Travis' reaction to that was priceless.
>>
>>51202555
Why is this so arousing
>>
>>51202555
The implication that Vex is holding her breath for a solid minute and a half underwater, without him noticing, is gold.
>>
>>51202555
The Percy-Vex relationship is one of the best things to come out of the last 20-ish episodes in the show, if only because it lets Laura do some grade A roleplay moments.
>>
>>51203194
And it's a lot easier to watch than the Vax-Keyleth edgefest.
>>
>>51202618
He wasn't at the session where Percy and Vex had their talk to consummate their relationship, so his reaction to it is truly great as this is the first one he's been around for.
>>
>>51203215
I think it's easier to watch because Percy is trying to be all suave and cool about it, but every single time he tries to do so, Vex one ups him in some fashion (the "power play" scene when they started the relationship, small flirty moments outside of combat, and now the bath tub scene).
>>
>>51202848
Which part, the idea of Vex performing underwater shenanigans, the length of which she can hold her breath, the subtle risk of exhibitionism and or being caught, or all of the above?
>>
>>51201605
That's exactly what happened to my neutral good Cleric when he got rezzed. Got pissed his god let him die after being a shining example of a cleric, he denounced his god and said fuck it. I think I alignment changed to chaotic neutral after that.

No, absolutely not.

There is no part of Critical Role that will be relevant or meaningful in even 5 years. It is a fad that will inevitable spawn countless follow-the-leader clones, but like all fads it is of zero value.

Grog has always been a tank. He maxed Con and took the Tough feat. The only thing he didn't do was go Bear Totem.

Vax Keyleth broke the ice to let them have fun with it. If they were trying it first it'd be odd and cringey, too.

Just looked this up on Youtube since I've been hearing so much about it for so long

>73 episodes
>3 fucking hours per episode

it really doesn't matter how good it is, there's literally no way I'm watching that.
>>
>>51208899
You can skim a lot of it. Just clicking past the break and opening scenes and fast forwarding through the early parts of a fight cut the runtime in half.
>>
>>51180755
Fuck me, it's improv with friends that like improv. For example (using character names):

Vax wants to talk to Percy in the baths OOC, they set it up in the show by saying what they are doing.

Vex hears Vax is going to talk to Percy in the bath OOC, she decides it would be entertaining to burst out from under the water when he leaves. Percy, Vex, and Grog set this up OOC in preparation.

Matt obviously knows something is going to happen seeing Grogg and Vex and hearing Percy rushing the scene, but doesn't know what it will be and Vax is so far up his ass and faces away from Vex/Grog and is surprised.

That's not scripted, scripted requires a script. This is professionals that are putting effort into what they are doing playing D&D both for themselves and for a crowd (which they also enjoy since they are actors). I'm sure their home game had less notes passed around and a lot more OOC discussion at the table to set scenes.
>>
>>51209007
I think they even talked about trying to cut OOC talk out of the streamed game, because they are professionals.

Vax and Keyleth are odd and cringy because that's who Vax and Keyleth are

>>51210230
Yeah, Laura's obviously a lot more fun and flirty than Marisha naturally, too. But both Laura and Taleisin have said that it was them paving the way that made it a lot easier and natural for them to do their RP relationship.

Travis saying "Clarification" would have made me afraid, he's a big dude.
Matt looked shocked. his hair was so long back then

>>51203091

If I have to be Matt Mercer, then you need to be AT LEAST as good of a roleplayer as Taliesen or Laura.

Woah, I remember the thread that pic is from
>>
>>51224893
Eh, he's not really that interesting. And the whole "IT'S JUST A GAME" bullshit that happened on the last 2 episodes of 2016 probably made some people prefer to just ignore him.
>>
>>51224879
In the episode with the boner comment, someone posted the link and time earlier in the thread. When Orion says it everyone gets confused for a second and Travis very loudly says WHAT. And when Orion starts explaining you can see the look of "I almost beat that ass" cross Travis' face when he says "clarification"

Keyleth is pretty annoying, but what has really been bothering me lately is Vax.

"I'd like to pull my sister aside for the same long-winded conversation we have every single week."
>>
>>51227820
Pretty much. And every single interaction Vex has with anyone other than Vax is way more interesting than the twin dynamic that has become extremely boring during and after the whole Raven Queen affair.
>>
>>51164015
I watched the first episode earlier

Had fun, would also very much like to have sex with Matt Mercer
>>
>>51188429
I'm pretty sure it was one of those name tags that says "HELLO! MY NAME IS but with Tiberius Stormwind written in. Pretty harmless but Orion was a dick about it.
>>
>>51167247
Watch the goblins. They often make some cringe worthy mistakes in combat that can't really be attributed to role playing.
>>
>the assassin is the moral grounding
>>
>>51228192

I thought the bear was the moral lynchpin of the party.
>>
>>51228192
The assassin who can't even assassinate properly and almost never uses the only combat oriented feature of his subclass.
>>
People keep saying Orion was a dick, never picked up on that. Was it him and Sam casting silence on each other? The endless shopping?
>>
>>51228342
Mostly his meta-gaming and need to be in the spotlight. It wasn't that bad at the start but it became almost unbearable close to his departure. The problem is, with him out of the picture, Marisha became the meta-gamer and Liam became the spotlight whore, so it didn't change that much from when Orion was around.
>>
>>51228342

He went mad at a Fan for making a shirt with his donut steal OC (i think someone also made one with his OC as Cloud too) and said they were 'uncrittered' >>51190376

Plus he did awkward shit in ep.27 like make some random boner joke towards laura which clearly pissed Travis off (but that may be due to the whole mirror shit despite the GM clearly telling him to fuck off with it).

Bonus video of Travis looking pissed/upset

Wait really? Spike and Julia are together in real life? Don't toy with my emotions like that man/woman/attack helicopter

Don't you think it would take more work to script this stuff out rather than just roleplay it?

I pretty much just skipped over it and listened to their backstories after watching the first episode. The game itself was funny enough that I decided to learn who their characters were.
>>
>>51164015
I definitely feel like she CAN be annoying (especially when she has those speeches), but she also has some great moments. I think I feel more bad for her than annoyed with her. They took this private game where it's just a bunch of friends playing around and roleplaying together and she gets ripped apart. I can't even imagine if me and my friends put ourselves out there like that. Can she be cringy? Yeah, of course, but if me and my friends were roleplaying for everyone to see, it would be cringy too. I feel like she should be cut some slack.
>>
>>51231061
examples of things I like about Keyleth. Her interactions with Percy. I love them together and I think they are cute together. She always loves to play his assistant and I think it's funny how into his story she is.

Honestly, I feel like Marisha should just read up on her class more and watch some tutorial videos. Maybe come up with a few go to situational strategies she can use (in case of X, do Y). She's obviously a great voice talent, but if she took some Improve classes like Sam did, she would have better timing. It's hard to improve drama, and before this, it was just a game they played that didn't need to be much of a show. I don't really blame her. But, even if she doesn't do any of those things, I still enjoy her.
>>
>>51231116
Keyleth's major problem lately is the lack of chemistry she has with Vax and how forced their relationship is, especially with the fact that Liam likes to create situations where his character takes the spotlight (e.g. every single "I'd like to pull my sister" and "I'd like to knock on Keyleth's door").
>>
>>51225673
He's right, tho. It's just a game.
