I personally don't play DnD, but love DnD content. You make great highlights so I bought the first pair of dice! Hope you sell many more :D

@@neojb1989 Omg so sorry I'm just now seeing this! Thank you so so much!!!

@@BriannaZumbro No worries at all! Hope they keep selling, I couldn't be happier with my set!

@@neojb1989 I’m so glad to hear that!

It's so accurate though. That's how we got a movie about the Titanic, Pearl Harbor, and I think we almost got one about 9-11

​@@devinspencer1678We got multiple movies on 9/11. You just gotta figure out which perspective you want to watch. If I remember correctly, there's also a movie about the citizens who rehijacked the plane that was supposed to crash into the Pentagon.

@@devinspencer1678 It's only a matter of time before there's an action movie about it, we've had plenty of Oscar bait.

@@devinspencer1678there’s been a couple i think

That's from the game masters roundtable right?

An absolutely equal repayment.

Wow! No need to be such an Ash-hole🤣

Look, it's a HOLE OF ASH, what else would you call it?! 😂

Mutually assured destruction.

Even in a place as sort of ghetto-ish as Bassuras.

I mean Kymal is pretty trashy/tacky, so Bassuras is probably a twinned city for them.

And Ashton absolutely hates that place

@@feitocomfruta Marquet is supposed to be Asia-inspired... and "Bassuras" is very close to the Tagalog/Spanish word for "trash." I've been wondering if Matt intended that.

@@crypto66 If you think to yourself whether Matt intended something, likelihood is he intended it.

She realised the true power she had as a DM haha, I love that Matt even adopted a Taste of Tal'Dorai into campaign 3 now!

@@stevesmith5883 Matt didn't know how well the DM power could corrupt Aabria, nor with what creativity she could get from it. Now HE thinks she gave him material for his own campaigns--because fair is fair, after all.

This comment is underrated

A 20th level bard never truly dies as they are always immortalised in verse!

@@stevesmith5883 ...and descendants. *SOOOOO* many descendants!!!

@@kirbytheotaku737 OP just means that Sam wasn't there for the ExU bits (not including Calamity) not that he's gone for good or not playing DnD! Critical Role isn't going anywhere, but I'd expect more player changes and guest DMs in the future cause It's hell of a workload for Matt that's been going on for years at this point.

Now if she would've pulled out some huge ridiculous mug and taken a drink from it while Matt was about to break I would've lost my mind laughing.

Lol. Maybe a chain restaurant but this one is the last one of the chain :P

It's a franchise X'D

Wonder if there's a Taldori version of Rainforest cafe

i hope they end the campaign by opening their own franchise location

this comment wins

He’s at the pizza hutch! He’s at the breakfast bar! He’s at the combination pizza hutch and breakfast bar! (okay)

Any lore more than ten in-game years will be commercialized, commodified, and marketed to people who should know better. Aabriya is making her fantasy worlds _way _*_too real_* ! XD XD

Oh no...... it's again

I hope those bullets don't come with a side order of black smoke...

@@VanNessy97 finally, the other half to my joke. thank you

@@VanNessy97 pretty sure Percy quit smoking but maybe after this, he will decide to pick up that habit once again lol

"Our Chroma-crisis of options!"

I... don't get it. Is it an American thing?

@@alekseihaidukevich3697 Nope! It's a reference to a group from Campaign 1 called the Chroma Conclave, which was an order of different colored Dragons.

@@BubbleBelly thanks, but where does the -don part come from?

The enjoyment enhances the torture like a bit of sugar brings out the tartness of a refreshing lemonade. 👌

I am 100% sure that such a thing actually exists irl, some sort of establishment thats dictator/terrorist themed. Like there are people who romanticize serial killers, of course someone somewhere has thought of that 😂

@@christiandavegutierrez475 i mean if theyre making a visual novel game about genderbent dictators(its satire and they have to state as such on their website) then yeah im sure that likely happened at least once xD

America's got school's named after Confederates, so that's about the same.

@@christiandavegutierrez475 I am almost certain there was a Nazi-Themed spa or restaurant in japan at one point that was kind of forced to shut down.

It's probably more like having a spa named after volcanoes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. The Chroma Conclave were intelligent, but they were intelligent forces of nature.

I've been blessed with a player who is thoroughly invested in the world I built for them and routinely runs oneshots in it. You know how the real world is not really cohesive and doesn't always make sense? I have found that another voice in the worldbuilding , given leeway, will make it so much better and feel so much more real.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I've been gifted with the pleasure of my Changling Fathomless Warlock, Jin, being used in campaigns that aren't mine as a primary baddie. In their source campaign they got routinely driven out of their port town just for existing and dunked on constantly to the point where their patron (Zlotharkis, the half-fiendish kraken) wasn't finding it too hard to convince them to do evil. During a random encounter our party ran into Jin got knocked out within the first initiative of a round by AOE damage and ended up failing two wisdom saves to NOT accept a worser deal with Zlotharkis, so they became a Kraken Priest for a full minute and TPK'd the party and got driven mad. I loaned em to a friend to use as a general baddie in that campaign and Jin's now TPK'd 4 separate parties. Nowhere near the initial direction I started with for this character but stuff happens and now I find polite amusement in seeing just how many people die to this charismatic trickster

This is really shown off well in the first season of EXU when they visit Gilmore's and not only does Aabria remember Sherri, the half-elven NPC that works at Gilmore's, she remembers that she had blushed about Scanlan's flirtations with her early on in C1 and carried that over 30 years later when she learned that Dorian was a bard as well, reminding her of Scanlan.

honestly all i can think of is scanlan hitting the fat elvis stage of his career just doing a residency in this tacky vegas outlet for ages XD

I think Matt was taking notes.

Full of Critical Roller Coasters?

On the spirit of Scanlan, you have 69 likes.

@@kedabro1957 nice

On it I now have a maker project this summer

You can commission it

I keep picturing an over-embroidered throw pillow with that overly swoopy font you see at like JoAnn's and Michael's on stuff like that. the Zafara-adjacent font.

Once upon a long time ago they were selling a pencil set with pencils for each cast member, and Percy's was "Life needs things to live'.

It should have

the theatre show probably did.

Like he would watch the show or anyone would be willing to tell him

I'm pretty sure Sam established Scanlan writing this play or at least the story it's based on during the final episode of Campaign 1.

@@TheOnlyRealIRONicMAN Yep. It's also hinted at in the ending of season 1 of TLO:VM.

@@TheOnlyRealIRONicMAN Yeah and wasn't there a poster up on the wall for it during C3 in the theatre?

And this bit was all the Vegas-level Cheese in a Fondue of Funny. Matt was chuckling, and making subtle notes mentally for future twists.

they're projecting their own reactions to him

@@LetTheBodyFall I dunnoe. Putting his head in his hands at least signifies chagrin.

@@kedabro1957 He’s an actor bro he’s hamming it up. You can tell he thinks this is all hilarious. This is a specially crafted psychic damage-inducing attack between two really good friends. If he seriously had a problem with it why would he decide to include it at all in campaign 3, which is set on an entirely different continent?

@@fisher8024 People can quickly realize their first impulse makes them look bad and change how they feel to something more publically acceptable. I've even other children do this when I was growing up. Work-place-harassed women learn to do this to avoid consequences to their career. I've done it too, to avoid attracting more bullying from my co-workers.

@@kedabro1957 how does a conversation on fictional dnd name puns lead you to workplace harassment and career consequences. go see a therapist or something

Can it really be called torture if all the ideas were Beautifully executed? All of these themed stuff is heading straight to critrole land.

Aabria is to Alex. What Emily is to Brennan. Chaos incarnate with a lovely emotional twist and some wild battle choices that always end up working out somehow.

you saw that too huh?

Nah it’s you weirdos

Yeah it was a bit of a walk for him with the Pizza Hutch to get to "I dig it."

He is calculating how to add it to Campaign 3 to mess with his friends.

did we learn if the guy was a Ravenite or Draconblood? if he was a Ravenite he probably didn't care much

Make sure you don't lean on alcohol as a crutch. There's always better coping methods. (Sorry, I grew up amongst alcoholism and feel the need to say this when people say things like that)

@@musiclikerperson thanks for taking care of me (seriously), though worry not, it was just a joke

I want this on a shirt.

A month later, and Brennan’s EXU: Calamity was anything but silly by the end. He does a great job of pulling something horrific and serious out of a silly original concept. Great work from Brennan this time around.

Novels I could definitely see. I'm surprised they don't already exist yet. I'd love even just a novella about Vex and Percy's kids, either as grown ups having their own adventures or just their lives growing up.

mentioning novels, isn't Kith and Kin a novel about Vex and Vax?

@@simmyish6431 it is. It's like their origin story. Recommend the audio book as it's narrated by Robbie with Liam and Laura doing their dialogue. It's great for VM nostalgia

Very much this! He wouldn't give the reigns to persons' if he didn't feel comfortable enough with them to do so. I love Aabria and very much love Brennan. Thematically, they're filling voids that Matt has and/or can not. For that, I appreciate them as expansions to Matt's universe!

I think the toothy maw would be the dining area🙂

... it did and considering how those words are written it REALLY shouldn't

This was just Aabria’s pitch to Travis and Marisha for Matt

Not animatronics. They have an old drunk wizard who creates the Dragons for the paying customers.

Wait til you get to episode 25 of C3.

I think it would be after, so Aabria made it a thing here in Kymal and then Matt added it into Marquet as well.

It better be or I riot!

No: Black Angus. Look it up youngsters..

As someone who is currently running an exandria based campaign, I felt that at first. Making it your own is really fun though!

Why do you care so much ? It doesn't matter. Add you own touch. That's what makes your game unique !

Their latest dm roundtable had Matt saying like 50 times to absolutely do what you want and fuck up his world and make it yours. It'd everything he wants is for you to treat his setting however you'd like.

That’s just straight up true

Matt: she is dead. Her next character is dead.

@@binder38us Aabria's Calamity character did die lol

Oh my god that’s amazing 😂

Reminds me more of the pain Sam brings him most sessions. :-)

If CR land ever becomes a thing, it has to be

I hope Dugeon Land or Critical Role land becomes a thing because having these food options and everyone who loves dnd can come in as there character...maybe even have a contest held each year,holidays can be celebrated with an abundance of decorations and limited time items,even have dragon coasters to ride on or any of the monster encounter rides each year being different.....I'd want to visit there for sure and make tons of memories even bring friends along to enjoy something new.
