Lmao bro became owner of one of the most successful online entertainment groups simply cause he was the only one adult enough to take the time to open a bank account xD But on a serious note its also cause he is one of the smarter ones of the group. I feel like the obvious choice was matt but he probably turned it down cause he had no interest in the business of it and only wanted to keep being the creative who makes the world's and campaigns for the group.

For anyone not as familiar with CR and because they give kind of a misleading non-answer to the question: Liam and Laura are NOT actually related- however, they share a birthday and they DO play twins in the first campaign because of that!

@Peter_Cordes 8 ай бұрын

And their friendship is basically brother/sister, like the way Liam teases or picks on Laura at the table (or eggs her on to laughing at any possible double-entendre), and Liam's said he does think of her as basically a sister. I forget if Laura has been that explicit about feeling the same way, but they're clearly very close. If people haven't watched the one shot Liam's Quest: Full Circle, do so.

So nobody in the comments mentions the tatoo Travis has but here's a bit of trivia. The tatoo spells verðr, which as an adjective means worth (like in the "worthy of the power of Thor") but as a noun, it means meal eg náttverðr is supper or dagverðr is "daymeal" usually eaten around 9am. Contemporaty Icelandic is very close to Old Norse and supper is to this day called kvöldverður. So the pizza joke was actually not that far off.

@ruralmetalhead 3 ай бұрын

I don't know much about how Icelandic/Old Norse letters are specifically pronounced, but I do know "ð" is pronounced as a "th" sound, so when I read "verðr" as an English-speaker it sounds like "verther." AKA "Werther" with an accent, which is also very fitting :P

For those who aren’t familiar: Critical Role is a Dungeons and Dragons video series primarily on Twitch and KZfaq.

If you want to dip your toes and give them a try, I’d recommend starting with Episode 1 of their Mighty Nein Campaign. You’ll get a pretty good feel for them in the first 30 minutes with character introductions. Don’t be intimidated by the long hours of each episode.
