47:03 "a ferret, a goldfish, an owl, a cat..." little did they know

Sam’s come so far from using a simulator to throwing the name into one of the biggest plot twists in campaign 2

16:18 they've been with each other for so long, they all simultaneously imitated Gilmores hand gesture. Such a small but awesome moment.

I've never seen anyone as excited as Travis at the prospect of free beer

"like a ferret, or a goldfish...." called it Sam... These Q&A panels are so fun. Also I love Trinket. I want a bear friend.

0:45 Introductions 5:42 What are your plans if someone dies? (6:36 Also, the Scanlan spin-off show) 7:11 What were your inspirations for your characters? (7:41 Also, Grog's secret boot making business, 8:58 Taliesin was originally the ringer, 9:56 Scanlan's character creation story is the best, 11:16 Marisha was a min/max-er, and 12:20 Laura is not bitter at all about Liam taking a Rogue first) 13:42 What comes first: the voice or the NPC? (16:31 Also, Sam can't throw) 16:52 What are Percy's spells? (17:25 Also, Travis and Grog are one and the same) 18:32 Do you think Vaxleth is a healthy relationship? (19:56 Also, Vex/Jarret is everyone's OTP) 20:39 How do you encourage players to role play in the game? (23:14 Also, no one knows how the game actually works) 25:31 How do you portray women well in games? (26:44 Also, women are people too) 28:45 Do you watch any Let's Play videos IRL? (29:30 Also, Sam kind of knows what's going on) 31:02 Has Marisha ever translated the in-character letter from Pike? (31:32 Also, the answer is no) 32:24 Why doesn't Critical Role have critical fails? (32:46 Also, Sam doesn't play Dungeons and Dragons) 34:47 What role would you steal from your colleagues? (35:26 Also, Travis's new best friend) 36:30 How do you cleanse the Wil Wheaton curse? (37:50 Also, the Critical Role version of being blessed) 38:17 How do you come up with all the names for the places around the world? (39:22 Also, any game Sam DMs would be fantastic) 40:13 Shout out to Extra Life (40:50 Also, ale) 42:46 How do you balance your homebrew classes? (43:36 Also, the internet is angry and forceful and sometimes constructive) 44:10 Trinket should always go with the party (46:11 Also, the first rule of Vox Machina is save that fucking bear) 47:54 Have you ever had any embarrassing moments on stage? (48:35 Also, Sam humblebrags) 53:40 Have you had any in-game issues with a marauding goliath in the party? (55:04 Also, the one time Grog talked his way out of battle) 55:53 As characters, do you consider yourself to be heroes? (56:55 Also, several bad things plus Pike make a good thing) 1:00:49 Has there ever been a time when you wanted to do something but didn't think there was time? (1:03:30 Also, the longest way to tell someone their moment has passed) 1:03:56 How hard was it to transfer gunslinger from Pathfinder to D&D? (1:05:14 Also, Sam's feeling left out) 1:05:36 Does Matt's wristbands mean anything? (1:07:32 Also, Sam's drunk)

Travis: "I'm an idiot, so Grog's an idiot". B.S. Travis has proven that he's very smart, and had to be smart in the way he played Grog as dumb. There's a difference between acting dumb and acting out a dumb reaction or situation at just the right time. "Grog does this dumb thing" but at a point and in a way that to think of that was brilliant.

35:55 Says the guy who got "worthy" in Norse runes tattooed on his forearm. :P

"Are we going to get shit on for meta gaming?" Next episode, fights a beholder

Oh, the beautiful irony of Sam saying goldfish during the Trinket conversation.

24:57 Marisha foresees the campaign wrap up, but they forgot all those questions lol

Loved it! 100% less cringe-worthy questions than what I was expecting.

Laura Bailey is...... amazing.

I love the advice at 23:00, on the first campaign I ran my players wouldn't stop talking to let me begin to set the stage... so they had to begin the adventure by yelling into the tavern "AND YOU'RE THE REASON I'M STILL A VIRGIN!!" and all of the NPC's staring at them. Also they had mystery pint glasses thrown at them at semi regular intervals. but they learned quickly>:)

"What if everyone dies but Scanlan?" Well, seeing as what's gonna happen next episode, that might just end up being the thing.

Scanlan and Trinkets Rivalry is basically 2 mascots competing for their spot, Trinket only cares about Vex and Scanlan looks at it like "There can be only one."

Critical Role is the best. No other D&D group grabs me or brings me as much joy. It has the perfect mix and balance between being professionals, being goofy, and group synergy. Being all friends who all have experience in acting with strong ties to the anime community really makes them am amazing bunch to watch and spend time with. Crit Life

Thank you for uploading this, i cannot go to such events because of the distance and...money, so this is great!

That last question was the best question to end a panel on. So adorable.

OMG I love Laura Bailey! LOL that entrance!

48:39 Sams Le Miz story

Being here six years in the future I love how amazed they are at the amount of people that are there for them. Just, knowing that they'll just continue to grow, and well deservedly so. 'When you kill the DM your game gets a little strange' xD I also do love how Sam approached his character creation. I mean, sure, it was meant to be a oneshot, but still. ALSO love Matt shaking his head to Sam saying bards are the weakest class. Gotta agree, they seem so awesome. I also like that Liam kinda just took Lauras entire character concept. And then she decided based off wanting a Pet. I am not sure if I love Matt describing the process of creating Victor through mild panic more, or Matt doing the Gilmore hand gesture and the whole group just at once doing it with him. Oh GOD Laura's reaction to Marisha saying 'let's talk about you and Jarett' Yeeesss, I love the idea of them doing a kinda Q&A session with them asking Matt about how things COULD have played out. 'I was a theater kid, so I didn't have any shame' Weeelllll. Oh GOOOOOOD Matt trying to counteract the Wheaton-curse for that one fan was so great. Matt knows not to mess with that curse, he's seen it in action and he'll absolutely do whatever he can to work against that. Also appreciate Matt explaining where he pulled his names from. I always struggle with names for anything so I always love tips. Love the whole Trinket discussion. That was great. Oh GOD that story of Sam getting brought into the hospital and them thinking he was some sort of really young protester was suuuuper great. Yay for confusing hospital staff. ALSO the story with Matt and the ink pot was ALSO pretty great. Love the mental image there. Keyleth trying so hard to be a good person and doing some of the worst stuff in the group is kinda relatable, and makes her all the better in my eyes. Though, they are really all flawed people and that's also beautiful. Also I love that Matts wristbands actually have a meaning. That's so beautiful! I love it. Couldn't imagine him without them, but the fact that they are not simply a style choice but so much more than that makes them SO much better. Wow.

37:55 Will Wheaton curse strikes another victim...

11:00 Oh Sam. You had no idea what powers your character would acquire.

How did I never make the Keyleth avatar connection

Its weird to see Matt standing up/his legs... lol

LOL we love to drink in Portland! glad you guys had a fun time!

I thought I was done laughing... Then I lost it at the very end when they started shaking their butts

It almost felt like I was watching an episode of critical role, awesome panel!

34:15 my friend got knocked unconscious from a Nat 20 perception check when there was nothing to see...

Awesome! I missed like half of the live stream! Thank you!

Thanks for the upload. This was a great panel matched by equally great questions

This made my night! Thank you so much.

Laura Bailey's entrance... CONFIDENCE PERSONIFIED

This was a very good panel.

Saw this panel live. Great panel! They are an awesome group, and was very nice to meet them in person.

these panels are amazing.. i hope talks machina lives long because omg do i need these types of q&a with CR weekly.. :D

The Marisha wristband story made me awwwww so hard

Every one of these panels is just incredibly heartwarming. Thanks to everyone involved who brought this to us (and that means you +Critical Scope!).

Thank you, Critical Scope!

I rarely post on videos but you guys are all amazing! as a DM, Mercer, you are my spirit animal.

Thank You. : ) I hope Liam and Ashley get to go to the next one.

What a wonderful group of people.

Was this just before episode 44? Jesus Christ they don't know what's coming here

59:02 No one thinks their evil, though. Not even the really evil people. That's what makes a villain realistic: that they can come up with a reasonable justification for their evil actions, even though it's still really messed up.

Just randomly watching old panel videos, so imagine my surprise when, at 13:39, I recognize a voice coming from the audience! And, at 28:42, I recognized another one!! I watch them on ST a Vampire: the Masquerade game on Saturdays!! I love this digital age of ours!!

46:00 Since Vex multiclassed already, and my guess is that she will get at least 2 more rogue levels to be an assassin, the gap between Trinket`s HP and the rest of the party will be even bigger. Marisha said in the last Q&A episode that she won`t awaken him, because of his 4 INT and coz she`s afraid that Trinket may abandon Vex if he gains conscience. There could be some homebrew rule about it... Obviously there is already one, Trinket`s HP is 5 times Vex`s ranger levels (4x12=60), instead of 4 times. Vex`s main concern is Trinket`s HP. And every rogue level she gains, it`s -5HP from Trinket`s potential max HP. So, perhaps an idea is the next time they visit an Ashari tribe (the Earth tribe would seem more appropriate for that), they could convince them to perform an "awakening" ritual of Trinket`s constitution, which will allow his CON to affect his HP. CON=16 -> +3 mod. Ritual`s additional HP= CON Modifier x Ranger Levels Atm, it`s 3x12=36 additional HP. 60+36=96 total HP, which will bring his HP on par with the rest of the party`s.

Matt: “The tinkerer, Perceval Von.... (crap I just forgot the name, what was it again).... you know the name.”

love these guys!!!

Love this!! Thank you so much for sharing this time of Critical Role:)

OMG the coordinates for their first kiss... i think that is the most thoughtful gift i ever heard off

47:03 "ferret, goldfish, owl, cat..." wtf sam & travis? just missing a blink dog & a flaming-poo-throwing monkey!

So sad I missed this, would have been perfect since it was near my birthday...next year maybe!

#LessThanThree #CrittersForever Love getting this extra-time with the Thursday night adventurers!

I may over a year late, but the question of the show ending, I hope not. I just discovered it and am faithfully starting from episode 1 and moving on. I caught it at episode 115, I believe and was captivated. Beautiful work you guys, and now I want to find locally a DnD group to give my ranger a go.. with black panther.

For my own sake, 20:35 - 25:19 Matt's Roleplaying Advice, for engaging your characters

9:55 for the creation of Scanlan

Travis is so freakin awesome

47:03 I really want Sam to re-watch this suggestion with the knowledge of what Laura but Sprinkle through in C2.

Scanlan is at once the most annoying and by far the most entertaining character. Grog is also great fun.Thanks for uploading this video

WHY DID I HAVE TO BE OUT OF STATE FOR COLLEGE WHEN THEY CAME TO PORTLAND 😭 I always miss them.

Ohgod, someone needs to gif that veeeeeery last part X'D Butt wiggles lmao

THE MOST EPIC GNOME BARD

26:48 Matt seriously had to explain to a nerd in 2016 that women are people

Its so fun watching Scanlan play Sam on stage

Marisha's pants are amazing! I want them!

The cleansing of the Will Weaton curse is just the best thing about the D&D community. LOL!

Martin Luther King day riots break out. A boy dressed in rags and covered in dirt is brought to the hospital with a bloody knee. “What happened little man?” “I fell off the barricade.” “They set up a barricade!?” “Yeah.” “So you’re a protester?!” “I mean I guess.” This boy had been injured during the dress rehearsal for Les Miserables, playing Gaveroche.

that goat is dead #nomercypercy :P

as a sound engineer this video gets on my peeves.

awesome

"I'm an idiot so Grog's an idiot." - Travis Willingham, Critical Role CEO

Panel in Seattle plzzz. Who needs a con. Just do critcon

Amazing 😂😆😄

I love watching this well after the end of season 1. I'm only about half an hour in to this one and wondering do they ever have the heaven's gate convo after the season ends? Do we ever find out about the skull? I'm working my way through all the non-episode videos now so I really hope so. ^_^

Hmm, still haven't watched Plunkett & Macleane. I should get on that. Love Robert Carlyle!

I’ll never forget the day we rolled for random encounter and our squishy little level 6 asses had to fight a dragon

So much awesome!

1:05:00 - Liam and Travis: Challenge accepted. Took them a few years but they shipped it. :D

I wish I could be there :(

48:30 best story of the panel, possibly of all the panels. you're welcome

Kudos to Dean & the beer maiden!

22:05 You heard it here first DM's, you can't even lead a horse to water let alone make them drink! x'D

it’s so weird having a panel without brian

Saw the spoiler marker, Gah! I can finish 4 episodes a week and I just hit 30! Wait for me CR!~

"Robert larkspur jazz" would be a good name for a character

39:56 Sam should really not make fun of Percy like That!! Sams real name is: Samuel Brent Oskar Riegel. So shut up Sam

17:05 Percy's magic (Travis being clueless)

56:35 - love this answer! For the lols that doesnt need to prove anything - thats how i am

loving how matt become host of his own show hahahhaha...

1:00:57 a straight up tiberius question

This is one of the best panels on the show yet. Re: Mercer --Victor and Gilmore are his best two NPC's. If i were there Id ask why Scanlon doesnt heal more - bards are great backup healers. Is it a role playing choice over the mechanics?

Is it Thursday yet? The answer is YES!

That first guy asking a question at 5:13 looks like Chip Foose. But in all seriousness, I recognize him from somewhere but I can't put my finger on it.

dat wink doe

at 32:29, does anybody have a reference to the letter and/or its translation?

Oh my god xD I was in a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in high school. I had 3 parts. I was a village woman, a go-go dancer and an Egyptian and for the Egyptian I had basically like a white dress with big circle neck piece that was gold and clasped around my neck. During the second performance when I was changing I noticed it was a little loose but I didnt have time to ask the wardrobe ladies to fix it so I go out on stage and I'm dancing and stuff and as soon as the choreography changes to me being right at the edge of the stage the clasp broke and it started sliding. Well, we were all supposed to be holding really still with our arms posed and I can just see it slipping further and further so i quickly nudged it back up but it still kept sliding so finally I just ripped it off and whipped it to the side of the stage and finished the scene without it. And of course, my entire extended family came to see the play that night and were in the very front row right in front of me laughing their asses off. I almost fell flat on my face during the last performance too. I finished the play in my go-go outfit which included knee high boots with 4 inch heels and in the last scene I was supposed to lead the whole group in a circle to show everyone off and the first step i took, the toe of my boot caught on the stage and I ALMOST ate it. I dont know how I didnt. I fell so many times on that stage xD I was the clumsiest person in high school and still have the scars to prove it lol

I need the T-Shirt the guy who asks the question at 1:01:00 is wearing! (Dragons sat around a table) help me Critters!

Lvl 19 Druid, Bear Form kicks ass! =D No hate against bears man! LOL They're ALL awesome!! I agree, it's hard when you know you have a chance to step up and then something happens and that chance is gone....LOL

Not gonna lie I would freak out if I sat in those chairs that’s a tall platform and that’s a tall skinny chair omg.....
