LMAOOO

Well, the whole crew is gonna be at NYCC now. Whomever I can meet I'll be happy!

What are you talking about Tailesins not human

Elder god*

@@witchytwink9048 He is kind enough to take on a form our feeble human minds can comprehend

Human?

Living 10 centuries will do that

I waited 4 hours in a line of about 30 people just to get an autograph once, I'm not sure that's worth it but at least Nolan North was nice. Gave a handshake, spoke for about 2 minutes, but I still don't think I'd wait that long haha still awesome that they really try to talk to their fans.

Taliesin Jaffe is a kinder GOO at this point. His fame allows him to harvest power in a myriad of ways that aren't necessarily debilitating anymore; he can be subtler about it if he chooses.

hes not that old

@@szylaj You missed the inside joke, my friend. "Great Old One" is DnD's nice way of rephrasing "Elder God," like Cthulhu; an Eldritch Terror of unfathomable proportions. It's a popularized fan conspiracy theory that Taliesin Jaffe is as old as the universe itself, and that he made a human form to simply walk among us.

@@Strong5Bad so he is eldrich god playing houses and humans?

@@szylaj Essentially. As such he has supernatural abilities that he still uses on a whim, but he takes more joy in being kind and wise "for the time being," and uses them responsibly. It's believed that he can will dice to roll Natural 20's on a whim, as he did for Liam while they were on Darktow after a (spoiler free) long day; that when he snaps his fingers during a live show an audience member gets pregnant; and that for every tear that is shed in his presence he gains another 10 years of life. The first one is an actual event, the other two are rumors born from the legends.

What's hilarious to me is that he was in one of my favorite movies when I was a kid and now he's on one of my favorite podcast-style shows.

Right? XD

Makes me want to see that Pike now. She must be cute 😂

I totally agree!😍 Just a note, Tal has 2 middle names (as beings who've been around since the dawn of time tend to have) it's actually Taliesin Axelrod Armstrong Jaffe 😁

I absolutely agree. Molly and Cad are inspiriting to me as characters. I actually have the outline of a tattoo done, still need to do my second session for shading and color. Of a tarot card with Molly and Cad (and there are hidden dicks as if Jester had been the artist). I got it like right before ep 111 came out

@@Toph_Not_E-Bender dude that sounds like a beautiful tattoo. i want to steal this idea haha

Odd that I never saw confidence or joy in molly.

@@jeniennefalor8136 that's interesting. I guess to me, they were a deeply sad and lonely character, who chose to find joy anyway and put on a beautiful face. Which means much more to me and I relate too a lot more than a character who is naturally filled with joy and confidence

From what I've heard all the CR team has been wonderful to fans, they're a really good group of people.

Because they're just like us, and became famous doing something we all like doing (playing DnD). Their arguably most professional trait is that they're voice actors, which doesn't make one famous as much and in the same way as other kinds of professions and whatnot. They're just very cool people, most of which were notorious for voice acting, which decided to broadcast something we all like and do but with their own professionalism, but still being totally themselves as DnD is a social game first and foremost. TL;DR: It's hard not being awesome and nice when your fame comes from being a voice actor who streams dnd! It truly is the coolest combo.

@@TheHighSorcerer except the one time Travis saw a person wearing a hdywtdt shirt and ran out of his car to go up to them.(just joking this is actually rly cute)

As someone who cosplayed Scanlan at my local ComicCon, I can confirm there was a low concentration of Pikes there too.

Or maybe you do ;) Wait No, you don't

I think he knew better than to sign that one

At least it wasn't on The List this time

xWinterWolfx7 Yeah, he asked me not to release that part because it was private information.

@@kimmyp1983 Oooh ok. That makes sense at first I thought he just dropped it since it's something I always do if people talk over me x) It's a relief that wasn't the case!

@@kimmyp1983 noooow I wanna knoooow! "Fine then, keep your secrets!"

@@Awes0m3n3s5 Honestly it's probably for the best. Secrets spoken by the Great Pyramid would melt our tiny mortal brains.

I think it was that he was Bi or something - since im fairly sure this was released before he came out. IDK though. :)

It sounds more and more like there's only one Pike cosplayer out there. 😂 That would be sad, though.

@@Tairneanach What if....it's actually Pike, and she's just Clark Kenting the rest of the time? :D

@@bluefootwalking That'd be great! :D

I'm still waiting for the "I am that Pike Cosplayer" Comment

@@JasperForge I showed her the video she was SHOOK

How else would you check if there's a musketball in there?

*barrels

Damn, I remember that year. I knew shit about Critical Role, no Vox Machina on Amazon yet, etc.

I was too man. .... I am literally the person in this video. I watched this and went, “Wtf self why are you perpetually so incompetent at opening things my fucking god.”

Sarah Goldberg HAHA I hope you got it open in the end!!!

Why is this comment thread so funny

twowingedmoon The sad thing is I legitimately don’t remember if I did. This was almost two years ago. The world will never know.

@@sarahgoldberg6994 tragic.

Worry not, he rarely displays his true form

Who is she?

@@ariellarosestrand1283 she's a friend who happenes to know Taliesin. She was working at the con and apparently on break when the video was shot. I don't know if I'm comfortable posting her name.

WAY too good to be so far down here!

My name is Sarah? You would only recognize me if, you already knew me?

@@sarahgoldberg6994 Then I guess not. I was thinking of someone i've seen do dnd stuff and/or comic books

Terrible J Yeah nope, not me.

@@sarahgoldberg6994 coolness, well have a good one then :)

A friend of Taliesen’s, who commented on this video as well identifying themselves.

avrilslilsib His friend who was on staff and had a chance to hang out with him during his autograph session.

@@kimmyp1983 oh neat! Thank you😊

bearripper just answering to avoid panic or rumors: he has tremor. He also takes medications for it but not always, that’s why you may or may have not noticed it already. Nothing degenerative like Parkinson’s if that’s why you were asking! Even in its more “benign” forms, when it doesn’t impact daily life, it is still a nuisance to say the least!

And my mom

Critical Role!

Critical role. It's a dungeons and dragons podcast. The guy signing the guns is Taleisin Jaffe, who plays the white haired cosplay character

Dr Anna Ripley, a villain from Critical Role who was the rival to his character Percy (Live DnD show if you're completely out of the loop) who was being cosplayed by the other lady.

@@ParadoxicWasHere thank u, duh on me, I just didn't remember her description, thank you so much!

@@Ashwgun Happy to help

The bloke signing the gun played the character closest to the camera (Percy) in a really popular dungeons and dragons game called Critical Role which they play live on twitch every thursday and the girl with the long black hair is playing an NPC which was involved with the plot to kill Percys family and usurp his entire estate. Now you know.

Taliesin Jaffe is an actor/voice actor who plays D&D on a series. these were cosplayers dresses as one of his chars.

If you're into D&D/nerd culture/goth culture, you should definitely seek out some more Taliesin Jaffe! Check out Critical Role (the community this video is from)

tldr: of the 2 people in cosplay, one is cosplaying the man sitting down's character percy (white wig) from an rpg show, while the other (brown wig) is cosplaying percy's nemesis dr. ripley. they're giving the man sitting down replicas of percy and ripley's weapons to sign

It’s probably just in a certain part at a certain time when no one really is there

good for you?

Yea....the people meeting Taliesin seem really sad.

bruh gtfo

What is your Problem?

no THIS kind of thing makes me think humanity was an evolutionary mistake

Bro what it’s talesin Jaffe being a super cool dude with some fans what’s your problem

Why do I get the feeling your trolling...
