Both are actual WETA props. Peter Jackson gave him Sting. Which is the more famous of the two. The other sword is Narsil, Viggo Mortensen gave him it. Steven's Sting is a hero sword, the one that needs to look good in closeups. His Narsil was a working prop used in action scenes in the film so just had to look good for wide shots when actors were in sword fights.

Agreed! He's never condescending or impatient, always knows how to reach his players regardless of skill level (or how recent the last time they'd played). I was noticing how he subtly changed how he said things, like after Stephen used the older way of describing dice, as in "2 die 6" instead of "2d6" and Matt just rolled with it, saying it the same way he did. You can really tell how much he loves his job, and takes great joy from seeing his players swept up in the magic of D&D :)

@johnekare8376 2 жыл бұрын

@@aaron58107 I would probably look at one of their one-shot adventures on twitch or their youtube channel. If you like it you can choose one of the campaigns and start from the beginning. Campaign 2 is still my personal favorite (the Colbert episode featured three of the characters from that campaign.), so that's what I would recommend, but all three are a little bit different in style and theme, so you might get hooked on one of the others instead. Campaign 1 starts "in the middle" of an adventure since this is when they took their home game online... And the production quality has improved immensely since those early days, if that is something you care about. Some say to start at episode 25-ish, if I remember correctly (someone might jump in and correct me if I'm off an episode or two) to begin with a new chapter of the story so to speak, and skip some of the rough spots in the beginning - it took a few episodes for them to find their sea legs, much more cross talk and things of that nature in the first episodes. It has it's own charm, but maybe the charm comes from either being there with them live when it happened or by knowing what they have become and who they are as people, so it may not appeal to a new watcher - depending on preferences of course.

With Vox Machina being a cartoon now it's for the best since well, in that case Stephen would be playing the only D&D character that's NOT in an animated series. On the other hand, Vox machina is all closer to the classic D&D experience perhaps that Stephen is familiar with. Then again seeing him interact with Laudna would have been amazing too.

I've said it before, but next year I want a Honey Heist and Stephen can play Cold Bear, a polar bear.

@@samsontelbate7634 I love the entire campaign, so that is very hard. By episode 97, The Fancy and the Fooled, is my favorite Critical Role episode ever, so...probably moments from that.

Seeing an old school geek playing new stuff is always good, but it being Colbert made it special. Plus, the only thing I thought was lame about his previous one-shot with Mercer was that it was only the two of them, so the RP was too low. AND the CR team dusted off their Mighty Nein characters? This was nerd GOLD. A hearty thank you to everyone involved in making this!

I remember when Matt did the one one one DnD session with Stephen, but never in a million years would I have thought that he would have come on for a full group one shot! This is so cool!
