Because Travis Willingham is a phenomenal player that, in all the episodes of CR I've seen, one of the only players I've known who successfully and consistently can take what's happening in the game seriously, simultaneously without blaming the players for the behavior of their characters. He always pays attention to everything his DM says, he interacts with the party in great ways, he's charismatic and I imagine a lot of fun to play DnD with, and on top of all that acts more mature than many I've played with would in situations like this. Not to mention he seems to *legitimately* be actively listening to the other player's actions and stories. A lot of players default to thinking of themselves as the "main character". Travis is a phenomenal player largely because, as far as I've seen anyway, he seems to *never* have that mentality. He's always aware he's part of a whole. All the CR cast are very good at at least one aspect of being a player, even if they're weak in others. Of everyone at the table, Travis always seems to be the most respectful and most genuinely interested in the party. Not that the others aren't, I just think Travis goes above and beyond as a player. Sure, Vax had a lot of one-on-one moments with other characters, but Travis as a player seems to always be interested in anything that happens with his party members, and as a DM, I would say that's a rare and highly treasured trait.

My god, life imitates art in a big way with this one. In Norse Mythology, one of the better known myths is about Loki getting drunk and shaving off the golden hair or Sif (Thor's wife) while she sleeps, as a hilarious goof. When Sif awaken, Sif is devastated. (Her hair was sort of a literal manifestation of her powers over fertility and the harvest) When Thor awaken, his fury wakes with him. And much like Grog, he utters a single word though clenched teeth: "...Loki" Then, and sadly, here's where the stories diverge; he breaks Lokis arm in three places, and promise that he will break every single bone in his body, then heal him and do it again the next day, every day ad infinitum, unless he can somehow procure a new head of perfect golden hair for his wife. Loki is more than happy to accomplish this, through dwarven shenaneganery.
