Pre-Order Critical Role: 'Call of the Netherdeep' here www.amazon.com/stores/page/6C...
Todd Kenreck sat down with Matthew Mercer to talk about the upcoming book "Call of the Netherdeep."
Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep
Can You Change Fate?
An epic Critical Role campaign for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.
The greed of mortals has awakened a powerful entity long thought destroyed. For eons, this mighty champion of the gods has been imprisoned in the darkest depths of Exandria. His name has been forgotten, as have his heroic deeds. Languishing in despair, he calls out for new heroes to save him.
Inspired by the campaigns of the hit series Critical Role, this adventure begins in the Wastes of Xhorhas and leads to the glimmering oasis-city of Ank’Harel on the continent of Marquet, and from there into a sunken realm of gloom, corruption, and sorrow known as the Netherdeep. Above it all, the red moon of Ruidus watches, twisting the fates of those who have the power to shape the course of history.
Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep contains seven chapters of thrilling adventure, new creatures and magic items, and a poster map of Ank’Harel.
First major adventure module within Critical Role’s world of Exandria, taking players from levels 3-12.
Multi-continental story that spans the scarred Wastes of Xhorhas, introduces the continent of Marquet, and eventually plunges players into the Netherdeep-a terrifying cross between the Far Realm and the deep ocean.
Bursting with lore and all new art depicting Exandria.
Includes new magic items and creatures and introduces new rival NPCs.

In C1 and C2, Sam's were the major comedic, chaotic characters, along with Grog and Jester. So I'm really loving getting to see Ashley, Marisha, and Travis stepping into that role & stretch their comedic muscles. Travis got to do some as Grog, but was limited to "big & dumb". For my favorite moment, it has to be the horror show at the tower as they're trying to break in.

I feel like the players have come out to play, and watching that is so wonderful. It really feels like they are having fun, and Matt is having fun. And that is what TTRPGs are supposed to be.

No, actually, I can enjoy an evil character as much as you doo. But I don't think Asley intended to be evil in that moment to add something valuable to character or story or for any other reason. I think she just was careless and chose to go with the flow, and if anything, it felt out of character for me. Let's be honest: she doesn't try to play evil, other will never treat her as evil or bad, they are calling each other family already. So it was just an off decision... which I'll totally forget in time cuz of course I love those guys, but I'd like people to be a bit more mindful about this episode, that's all.

It's been wild and superb. It's like telenovella D&D. One thing I miss, though, is Robbie. I get he probably has his own gigs he needs to do, but he really brought a sense of kind of naiveté and innocence that even is more than Imogen has. They are all knocking it out of the park!

Won't always be everyone's cup of tea, but they are not in danger of losing their identity and that is what matters. Love the chaos, the mystery and the sheer joy of Campaign 3 so far!

“That’s why I like campaign 3, you guys are so comfortable now.” Took the words right my mouth, ive been loving Campaign 3 because these characters are being performed so well. Not to say C1 & C2 didn’t have amazing performances, definitely not what I’m saying. It’s just impressive now because even last campaign the cast had said they were still trying to find their footing as their characters, & this campaign feels like they are very confident on who these characters are. Loving Campaign 3 and so excited to see what else is in store.

So wonderful and weird, but I've never had this with any celebrities, maybe slightly with Robin Williams my heart broke when he passed because he had given me so much Joy though my childhood and to this day, it was very sad to find out he was in so much pain.

@@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEll That's basically what I'm getting at, yeah. People have demanded some pretty crazy stuff of the cast lately (some going even as far as to suggest they should remove members to replace them with other people so they can "appropriately" tackle Marquet) all justified by stating that theyre a company now so they should bow to the whims of their viewership. But they're clearly both things. Theyre still good friends playing their own game, but some people want to change that or suggest it cant possibly be genuine anymore simply because they make a large amount of money. I wasn't meaning to say they arent also a highly successful business, of course they are.

I’ve gotta say, Ashley is currently my favorite player of campaign 3 because she embraces the chaos of the fey so well. One of my favorite characters I’ve played was ALSO a satyr Druid named Fen (I swear, this happened RIGHT as EXU was starting and I didn’t know she was playing one). Fen was more upfront about being off compared to Fearne (she’s very disarming about it), he wanted fun, parties, subtly messing with people just to see drama unfold. I had based him off of Bacchae Dionysus, a literal force of nature in mortal flesh. In my head I described that both the best and worst thing is if he takes an interest in someone. On one hand, he would be far more open to help them (especially if they made it “fun” or promised him some entertainment later), he would be more than cordial if a bit morbidly curious on discussion topics. However, if you angered him… at best he would hit you with lightning once and let it go (or y’know kill you quickly). But if you REALLY made him mad, I’ve considered charm person manipulation, polymorph->shove into uncomfortable containers-> leave them there.

Campaign 1 is a sharply different feel because you are jumping in halfway through and there's some really heavy stuff going on. Campaign 2 starts with much of the same chaos C3 has right now but quickly gets a lot more serious. 14 episodes into C2 they had already been to 3 settlements, finished 2 minor quest lines and joined a crime syndicate. But C2 has some of the best character development I've seen. C1 has that epic climax though that sent CR to the stratosphere. I almost feel like you can watch c1 through the legend of vox machina and just catch up on c2

Ashley Johnson's comfort zones are in characters that doubt themselves. At least in the work of her's I'm familiar with. So it wasn't surprising that Pike and Yasha both were self-repressed. I think a lot of Critters misread that as her inability to roleplay. I always saw through it because she had some of the most touching RP moments because they weren't expected from those characters. I think it is really fitting, and delightfully ironic. I don't know how many Critters watched Blindspot, but Patterson reminds me a lot of that transition between Pike to Yasha to Fearne. A character who knows her abilities, but still doubts herself. But throughout the series claims her power.
