"Well I am a little goblin girl" Sam, we asked about the character...

Campaign literally started with "Hey, you're finally awake..."

Liam’s first words of this campaign: “I’m really filthy” Also Liam whenever anyone mentions that he is dirty: 😡

30 seconds ago, i listened to Matt close out Campaign 1. Thanks to the internet, it's always Thursday.

New player to DnD : "Why do DnD sessions take 3-5 hours?" Me, about to explain why it takes more than 1 hour to get out of the tavern : "Well, it's complicated"

“yEAh, i’M stiCkiNG WiTH thIs ACCent fOR THe nExT TWO yEARs”

"I'm just a vessel for higher powers" Molly says off-handedly in the first episode

Sam saying: "Maybe it's not a goblin, maybe its a little hafling person or something." Hits differently now

Yeah, I guess I'll watch 280 hours of multiple adults role-play.

Beau: "Are you cold?" Caleb: "She's a GOBLIN, OKAY??"

2:50:55 Nott attempts to pickpocket a citizen in the middle of a fight *Ashley Johnson will remember that*

Matt describing the different wooden textures of their new table. Travis: *takes notes* Matt mentions his Blood Rager class. Travis *adds another note*.

When you're really mad, but you're also really Canadian: "I would like to rage."

Travis rolls a natural 20 as the campaigns first roll. Narrator: This would not being indicative of Travis' rolls in the future.

THE ANIMATED SERIES JUST GOT ANNOUNCED SO NOW I HAVE TO WATCH THIS BEAUTIFUL MESS AGAIN. I AM SO HAPPY AND I HAVE NO ONE TO SHARE IT WITH

IT'S GETTING ANIMATED!!!!!!

Season 1: I hate goblins! Season 2: I am a little goblin girl.

"no sick people inside the tent" ah I see you too are practicing social distancing.

Molly really said "I'm simply a vessel for higher powers" in the first episode huh

Ok rewatching this, the smirk on Matt's face when Jester asked Caleb if he was gonna go to the academy. . . Gods damn

“I was spotted by the crowns guard” “Did you have your mask on?” “No, no I didn’t” what a new context for 2020.

Early Nott: Cockney AF. Early Caleb: Soft hint of German. Current Nott: Soft hint of cockney. Current Caleb: German AF.

Me: Googling falchion Sam: Google reports a wild surge in the searching of the word falchion. Me: 👁👁 👀

Me, 2020, really wants to start watching critical role, but how the hell am I going to find 300 hours to do that? And now: Quarantine, day 1

"Do you know my name?!" "...whats your name?" "JESTER :D" "I know your name now!" ":OOOOO!!!!!!!!!" I love jester

Jester immediately being enamored with Mollymauk is so sweet. She can just sense the chaos he brings to the world.

“You read fortunes-CAN YOU DO ONE NOW???” “I knew you were gonna ask that”💀💀

“You bathe in water” “I-I know I’ve bathed before...” “Well you smell really bad” “I only just met you” “...... *Hi im Jester* “

Them: "This ad is a little stale as it was written in mid december" Me, watching in mid December " Nice"

Coming back to this video to say that I hope in the Mighty Nein animated series, the introduction dialogue between the characters is basically word for word- I have come back to this video many times for a good laugh- Nott saying she gets "squiggly", Jester telling Caleb he stinks, "How many gold did I get?" "Seven!" "Woo!", Yasha's deadpan, Molly's tarot reading. The whole thing is just gold.

I don’t know if Laura already knew she wanted that to be Jester’s accent, but I like to think she made that decision after hearing Sam’s character talk, and his reaction when Jester started talking was fantastic

Matt: Would you like to describe your character for me Liam? Liam : Looks like its sad man time

Nott: "I have a pair of fours." Jester: "I have three fives!" Nott: "I draw my shortsword." Beau: "I immediately grapple him."

20:26 - Caleb: "I'm prety filthy..." That's it. Your character for the rest of the campaign.

55 years old and played my first game today. I now understand the love for this game. I have a lot to learn. Not sure if there are others in my age group here. That table is BEAUTIFUL.

“Are you patronizing me, Mollymauk?” “No, I hope you’re going to patronize us!” - best comeback I’ve seen yet.

Nott: *wears a mask* 2020: you're about... 2 years too early

I like to think when Laura and Travis made their new characters together, Laura said somthing like "OK baby this time I get to be the dumb one"

It's weird to realize, from day one, not one of these people knew how this campaign would go. There's no telling how far even this first episode would go. Nobody has a script or any instructions except Matt's notes on how he wants to try to push things and the players knowledge of their characters. Yet somehow they all managed to make not one, not two, but three plus seasons of iconic characters and moments fully enveloped in the world. All the props to you guys.

"what can i get you" "a trost for both of us" "for breakfast?" "yes" "i like you"

Yasha and Molly's introduction is literally the "someone is going to die-" "-OF FUN!" meme

Rewatching this and laughing when Tal/Molly says, "I'm merely a vessel for higher powers." Oh the foreshadowing..

35:37 The first roll of the second campaign, like the last roll of the first campaign is done by the same person and with the same result. Uncanny.

*first roll goes by* "Natural 20!" Oh great, it can only go downhill from here

"I am a little goblin girl." -Sam

Note: Watching this (Dec. 2023) campaign for the 4th time. By far the best in terms of unbridled humor, funny Sam ads, storyline, and production (especially audio). Zero player drama, crestivity and emotions all around, even while getting through the infamous 2020 pandemic. This will foerever be the best campaign Crit Role has made, in my humble anonymous opinion.

Got through campaign 1, now I can finally start this one. Started: 14/12/22 Finished: To be edited....

I love how Sam pretends to make a gag character without much thought behind her, but he’s actually playing the long game from the start. It’s inspiring, really.

Nott: "Oh you are finally awake" My mind instantly: "You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there."

I’m coming to C2 after catching up with C3 and my god, Ashley seems to physically change with her characters! I’ve seen clips of C1 and bits of the eps where she’s present and it just wows me everytime. She seems to become Fearne and Yasha and Pike. I’m truly impressed

the poetic cinema of caleb's first damage given being NEIN! 👌

jester: "oh caleb! are you going to go to the academy?!" caleb: *internally screams from PTSD*

Laura: "sorry for taking some of your money" Travis: "ok give it back" Laura: *"why though i won it"*

Starting: 12/21/23 Finished: to be edited!

Sam [high-pitched and hoarse]: Ya! I'm sticking with this accent for the next two years. One year down. Long live Nott.

Sam: I got a pair of fours... Laura: I got three fives... Sam: ... Sam: I draw my shortsword

0:40:08 of course Nott would know halfling. It's amazing what you pick up on a rewatch.

Boy, rewatching this knowing ever backstory is a riiide

"Little girls tend to not go around telling people that they're little girls." "It's my first time!"

"can you read fortunes??!" "I know you were going to say that" "this guy knows EVERYTHING"

Round 2 baby. Anyone in 2024 coming back for a C2 re watch? 😎

1:24:00 Jester is devious! I was a bookseller for 3 years and people CONSTANTLY did that. The horror! Evil, EVIL woman!

"You are under arrest what are your names" "Shirley" "Temple?"

"No weapons allowed" Laughs in monk

After the Mighty Nein live show reunion this week its crazy to come back to the first episode to see how far they've come/changed 🥰

Just finished Campaign 1 (Literally still crying from watching Dalens Closet), and I'm already ready to be hurt again by falling in love with these new characters. Mighty Nein here I come!

I love how Nott turned from a "cockney goblin" to "just Sam screaming" over the course of this campaign

“I would like to rage” Somewhere else in the realm, Grog suddenly lets out a cheer to the surprise of everyone around him

Sam saying “maybe it’s a little halfling person, maybe it’s not a goblin” at 26:20 is such a great little breadcrumb

Lauras ability to jump straight into character, be instantly comfortable and RP any situation is almost magical. Such a damn talent. Bless you 🎉Luara Bailey🎉 This show wouldn't be the same without her

"Maybe it's not a goblin. Maybe it's a halfling person." God damn it, Sam.

Me, finally getting to campaign 2- "It's so weird seeing these guys play their new characters. I don't know if I'm ever going to get over how different this feels." Talliesin- "our circus doesn't admit the elderly." Me- "Ah. That's better."

Who else is watching again to get ready for the animated version?

Caleb's accent is so light, and Nott's is so strong. Years later, so much has changed

TALIESIN : “I am simply a vessel for higher powers” ... MATT: “Mhmmm” *looks knowingly at Taliesin*

POV: you have played dnd exactly once in your life, came here because of the Vox Machina series, but don’t want (some) spoilers for Vox Machina, but want to experience Critical Role, so you started with campaign two like a madman and likely won’t get through two episodes let alone the campaign before the series

Anyone else here for a re-watch of MN after the recent 2 part return?

Post-watching, character impressions. Travis: Alright Matt, if you want to keep giving me sentient weapons, I'll make a guy who *worships* his blade. Marisha: Okay, I've already done Aang, time to play Sokka. Liam: That's one sad boy down, on to the next one. Sam: :pulls out the copious notes he took from watching the Goblins! One-shot: Laura: Being the sane, sensible member of the party was fun and all, but what if I just play a total troll instead? Talesin: Percy *almost* sold his soul to the devil...let's make a devil he *would* have sold his soul to. Ashley: :looking directly at Travis: *I* would like to rage.

Sam: This is the accent I'm sticking with for the next 2 years! *3 years later and still Nott done*

Gotta say, one thing that’s really noticeable & wholesome in this episode is how much the group all love Ashley lol Like, obviously they appreciated her in the first campaign. But at least some of that could be mistaken for “yay, our happy little healer is here!” But here she’s introducing a more surly character and everyone still immediately loves her too. It’s just funny

New Critter here! Having finished Season 1 recently. Season 2 has 141 episodes, with a seven-hour long final episode. . . I don't feel really ready, but I think that's where the fun begins!

Waitaminute - Carnies becoming heroes? Improbable band of misfits? Empire demanding tribute of food? Is this campaign....A Bug's Life?

"You're finally awake." - Nott, FIRST FREAKING SENTENCE OF THE CAMPAIGN.

im weirdly emotional stumbling onto this video again after so many years, what a journey, what a story, if anyone is here is new and just coming to this. Enjoy one of the best d&d campaigns ever created, and welcome to critical role

First episode of Critical role I've ever watched, and damn that circus scene has me fuckin hooked with goosebumps by the way he was describing it. Can't wait for the rest!

Caleb: “His name is Frumpkin.” Jester: “Can I call him Lumpy?” Caleb: “No, You can call him Frumpkin.” Jester: “Look at this cute little Lumpy...made in England.” God I love them.

My Dm: You roleplay too much Critical Role: *Spends like 20 minutes role-playing right at the start*

Going through a hard time, and came back here for a soft place to land. This story means everything

Hey there. Finished C1 like 5 hours ago - weeping and overwelmed by feelings. Now let's go on a new adventure. I heard so many good things about C2. Let's dive in

“A falchion.” “A what?” Matt coughs in Chrom

To those just starting: Such a glorious journey youre about to go on.

I see a Lotta love for the ladies Jester and Nott (well deserved), but I need to say: I'm here for Fjord.

My husband is a big fan and says this is peak campaign. I’ve wanted to watch for awhile but I have two small children and work from home full time, so the only time I have available to watch is in the morning while I get ready. (He listens while he works, alone and not at home. 🤪) So I’m secretly starting to watch and am looking forward to understanding all the references when I complete the campaign in five years. 😂 3/9/24 Just finished everything including the extra shows! 🤩 This was so worth it, and I managed to last 9 episodes before I had to share with my husband that I was watching. 😂 I couldn’t keep it in I was so excited. Starting campaign 1 today!

Seeing Sam, the most chartismatic human I've ever seen, playing a CHA 5 character is really going to be a highlight this campaign

"You are all the most charming people I've met in-- yes." Molly, dropping hints Day 1.

Jester is the reason I started critical role. Saw a compilation of her sendings and I was in love 😍🤣🤣 now I’m caught up and rewatching. This campaign is like LOTR for me once a year I watch it and feel all the feels🥰🥰

Beau instantly falling for Yasha is a WHOLE MOOD!

The Marketing Director of DnD Beyond made the greatest decision of their life when they started sponsoring Crit role on this day.

When the cast is self isolating indefinitely and you're already caught up to CR so you just...start from the beginning
