Going Keyleth: "We're not heroes. We're not special. We're just people." Keyleth, later: "We're basically gods." And people say Keyleth had no character development. (For the record, I love Keyleth. Just making a joke.)

hahahaha Marisha's impression of an innocent overwatch player taken down by the evil that is Mcree is everything lol.

2:50 Once you go Matt Mercer 14:15 Matthew Mercer will remember this 32:25 Marisha and her wine 50:38 They are so in sync

2:50, when Marisha Say "once you go matt mercer" and he is like ..... "Sure.. I'll allow it" just like in the games, when characters want to do stuff they usually cant x)

46:22 Huh. That explains why they eventually just became their own thing separate from Geek and Sundry. They were basically already their own thing anyway.

32:25 Marisha wine mic lol

Marisha: Once you go Matt Mercer... Mercer: I'll allow it And now their married.

You gotta love Marisha Ray! She is sooo funny! :D

Gilmore's Glorious Grooves. lmao

"Matthew Mercer Will Remember This" That was so great!! Perfect edit!

I felt like several key moments at this panel were all made even better for viewing with your edits. Like the captions for the wine incident and the video-sync with Matt's Gollum; being there in person, I would've been bothered by not knowing what Marisha had initially tried to say, and that Matt was reciting actual lines from a scene would have flown over my head. So thank you Critical Scope for all the work you do.

once you go mercer theres no reverser

Early friday morning wouldn't be the same without a dose of Critical Role in some form. thanks for filling that NEED for this humble British Critter.

5:55 "it looks like you have a strength bonus right there" I almost died. :P Took me right back to my 3.5 weird floating stat bonuses. "I've got plus 1." "from what?" "I don't really know but I remembered I have it."

Timestamps for the fan questions! * 26:50: Matt, where da Auzzies at?! * 27:42: In the Pre-Stream adventures, was there anything that VM could have done to prevent the release of Thordak? * 29:55: What was it like to DM for Vin Diesel? (Marisha thinks she's in Beauty and the Beast at 32:20) * 33:05: How much of your personalities goes into your characters/stories? * 35:42: Will we ever see the backstories of Gilmore and Allura that Matt wrote? (Segues into a talk about secrets Matt's keeping from VM and a post-campaign wish of his) * 38:05: Any personal favourite trick/cursed item? (Matt proves that no, he *doesn't* know everything ;) ). * 39:30: Where do you draw the line when it comes to fanart/fanfic? * 41:15: Matt, what would you do if you woke up and, 20 minutes before a session, realised you have nothing prepared? * 44:40: What're the chances of a Critical Role Telltale game, and if it was happening, who would it follow and when? * 47:15: Can you do a Gollum voice? * 48:05: If Keyleth could, what would she multiclass into? * 50:40: *It's High Noon...* * 51:35: Are the interactions something you've worked on over the years so that the show isn't just combat?

Matt's gollum!!! wholly shieett!! and you critical scope you! tying it with the video was amazing!!

Dang, dude. Matt's Gollum/Smeagol is pretty on point. I love that he did the scene from Two Towers almost verbatim from memory. xD

please someone gif the part where Marisha talks into her wine glass that was so funny

so basically if it wasn't for Resident Evil we wouldn't have Critical Role

"PERVON!" Haha, Marisha is so proud of herself...

Gilmore's Glorious Grooves! woot!

49:41 When I first heard about this a while ago I thought it would have been a weird combination, but, now that they mention it, a raging earth elemental Keyleth would've been interesting.

'97? Dark Days? I started playing in prehistoric times by that scale, in 1976-7, when we switched from Chainmail to the Original Box. Still, in all of those years I have never seen as good a Game Master as Mr. Mercer. It goes so far beyond the wonderful voices and characters, and obvious hours he spends in preparation. the way he gets interrupted, a lot, and smiles through it. the way he is so sublimely and considerately extremely evil, while never getting nasty or mean. the way he challenges his players without being antagonistic to them. just so many ways that I wish he could clone himself and move one of them here, so that I could play with him. I am not a fraction of the DM he is, and I really do try. pardon me, I do not usually gush like that. with that being said, I must reiterate that I think Matt is the best DM of all of the current crop of online DM's, including Chris Perkins with absolutely no offense to him. He did come to play with Vox Machina remember, so I think he might agree. this is not to say there are not a number of great games going on, but Critical Role is the Stairway To Heaven. is it Thursday yet?

"Once you go 'Matthew Mercer'..." :) Great job on resync the opening the Gollum part

I can never get enough of Critical Role and its people so you guys at Critical Scope and everyone helping them are my heroes. I am so grateful to you.

that gollum video sync was spot on! great work!

Honestly, I have a list of fancy fantasy names for improving NPCs alright. But I like to throw a "steve" every now and then, just for shit 'n giggles. Never forget Chico, the goblin.

Thanks for posting as always!

Awesome panel, thanks Critical Scope, great work as usual!

Thank you for another great recording! I love watching all the panels. It's like a front row seat without paying the airfare and Con fee😆

32:23 Marisha...you give us hope for us mere awkward mortals. 😂❤️

my favorite Marisha moment is at 50:38

omg i love marisha's shoes! i want them so bad. im glad these guys gave the show a shot, it just shows that you should always try and if you dont like it you can just stop. its better to try it and hate it than to regret never trying it. :D i still want an anime of the show lol, from the first episode they aired till now and beyond. for the curve ball question i think cows or going inside of the dragon were the most crazy ideas the group had lol i love it.

Well done, adding the Golem footage! Well done! Thank you :)

YES!!! I've been waiting for this!

This must have been such a rough panel for them. No backs to the chairs, and an insane amount of chatter in the background. Cheers for showing up. I sure wouldn't have!!

So cool, thanks for the upload!! :)

Thanks once again Critical Scope! Even though there's no show today, I still get my fill of Critical Role.

critical scope i just want you to know that i love you and the critters recording these panel. I live in Thailand and there is no way i could be at these cons and expos. So thanks alot guys

Matt's impromptu Ed Wynn impression was phenomenal.

Good work you did an amazing job

It's funny he mentions "Steve" being in a lot of games XD In our last game our DM was on the spot when we were looking for a blacksmith to silver our weapons for fighting werewolves and he's like "Uuuuhhhhh, there's a blacksmith down the road, his name is... Steve. The shop is called... Steve Does Silvering" lmao X'D we thought it was great though, we ran in there going "STEEEEVE!" in the dorkiest way we could and Steve had a terrible hick accent, it was amazing

those pants are the SHIT! Marisha rocks those! Just saying.

The infamous "shiraz incident"...

39:09 Everything except how you introduced a dwarven NPC that one of your players had a significant interaction with and recruited to fight Umbrasyl and was even chosen to participate in a Heroes Feast, but was never heard from again... RIP Old Davin.

Once you go matt You never go back //to being normal// //you'll forever be blessed by his magical locks of hair// //and be an amazing person //

Thanks for taking time to record this and put it on - it was nice! :D

finally got my arse around to watch, yeah

I loved A fantastic work ♥

thank-you so much for this, and all the other videos. please find us the sdcc panels

god even though I'm an Australian, the accent is jarring after hearing matt a marisha talking haha.

50:46 for Mcree shinanigans

Loving the reference to Mitch Conner.

I love that the subtitles for the question-mic host actually say WONDER WOMAN: because apparently she was cosplaying. (Update: you can see Wonder Woman walk across the screen near the end of the video.)

Matt Mercer will remember this!

This video has been added to the list of Panels, Q&As, and Periscopes - www.reddit.com/r/criticalrole/wiki/hub/panels

I like when he says all the people he dragged into the game he doesn't mention Orion.

41:55 Hey, now. David and Stephen are even older than medieval times. They may be commonplace now, but they have ancient roots and should be right at home in any fantasy setting, if used well.

Happy Birthday Matt =3

41:55 We just had a Steve pop up in our campaign a couple weeks ago.

Wow. That Gollum.

I actually have played a character names Purvon.

I love Eve! Great choice as a moderator! These guys flowed so well!

I spy a Jet and a Tuk up on stage at the end there ^_^

Awesome... 32:24 Good times.... The Name Thing is a big a thing...

39:00 And that deal never really comes to fruition. I'd like to think that at some point down the line Vex and/or Keyleth have to deal with the repercussions of that.

oh my god 50:45 has me IN TEARS

@Critical Scope Can we have a link to that, very disturbing, fanfiction story?

#Couple goals

Whenever anyone wants to hear Matt say "It's High Noon" I point them to this video... 50:40

Dear Matt: a great wizard that uses a sword is Li Shaoran, from Card Captor Sakura. :)

Once you go Mercer, other DMs get worser?

that MC/host of their panel got thrown off so much b/c of Gilmore. haha

Ahhh was about to watch but spoiler alert .... so I can't :( only on esp 36) ps though thanks for the heads up see you in about a month 😅😅

BLADESINGER = Wizard that uses swords

Oh man, You guys should see if Vin Diesel would like to come back on a thursday to just enjoy himself for 3hours. hopefully they wouldn't be in such a rush, or a jam packed schedule.

damn critical scope how long did ypu spend syncing yup the intro video

The last question, right after the voice of mccree. IS THAT FUCKING VAN CUYLENBURG? GEORGIA VAN CUYLENBURG?!

As much as I like Telltale games and Critical Role, I don't think it would be a good idea. Imho Tales from the Borderlands was their best game yet and it was a commercial failure because the overestimated the wider appeal of the franchise. What would really be great (not my idea btw) would be a Firefly game with all the original actors of the show that can flesh about a bit more of that longer story arc we missed.

I actually did stumble upon a player fanfic like they mention. I was excited at first (IRL headcannons can get so funny and dumb sometimes) but then I realized what was going on and by the time I managed to disrupt my horrified reading stupor, I was done reading the piece. Out of respect and wanting to avoid serious weirdness while watching the gang play and do panels, I decided to never again look for CR fanfic and to avoid it if I came across it anywhere else.

Hey there everyone. Loved the video, does anyone know who the moderator is?

Haven Con Australia, my suggestion to you is to pick a sight for your next con where the panels are not subjected to the constant rabble noise from outside the room. Seems kinda rude to the guests who are trying to entertain your attendees.

45:08 Well, now that you have your own show, maybe it's a more realistic possibility. :P

This interview highlights one major thing. Critical Role is now a multimillion dollar company... and Telltale games is a distant memory.

Do we have footage from the SDCC panels yet?

Whatever I ran a campaign and it seemed like Mercer stole my ideas in a fortnight. They know.

Who is the moderator? She looks familiar.

"This is real life!" ....Or is this just fantasy?

wait, there are multiple critical scoopers per se?

That interviewer looks eerily like Evan Rachel Wood.

They couldn't have found a host that at least watched a couple of episodes?

can someone explain the pervon vs pravon bit

When did Keyleth and Gilmore teleport to find a naked Vax?

That host should not have been there. It should have been just Matt and Marisha. Matt could have read off the list of questions and then they could have signaled him to move on to the Q&A section. She had no idea what was going on and was clearly uncomfortable when Matt would talk like characters. It's really sad.

Mackay* :P

Anybody knows who's the moderator?

:-)

How bad can one fanfic be?

40:00 lol CR Cast 2016: We draw the line at graphic sexual fanfiction about the players CR Cast 2019: We're promoting our kickstarted by filming ourselves all in bed together
