Timestamps Chapter 5. Any * is either a short, or should be one. ^ Are promises made/ kept (that is a new one, but I think it is important. By the way, this one went a little overboard, but is good nonetheless. As always, if there is a moment I missed (somehow) that you would wish to add, reply below I will try to add it to the main text before the pin, and in a supplemental reply after. 0:10 0:40 Hit 50 followers, that is how early this episode is 1:50 Recap 5:10 Session starts with Beezaura at Fabled Repose 6:25 Unknown early morning meeting 9:00 Meeting with Baron Thomas Pindle 9:40 Switch to the Dancing Clam and the rest of the crew 13:15 Fishing out the coward’s room key to steal his shit 16:50 Deciding to find out who he is and beat the crap out of him rather than steal from the coward 17:40 Back to Thomas Pindle and Beezaura 19:50 Beez gets punched and burned 22:00 Would you like to play a game?

Nat 1s (All clear) Erland (John):0 Beezaura (Leah):0 Orba (Jordan):0 Graven (Anthony):0 Safira (Riley):0

Props to the DM for juggling all the player's splitting up and tasks they were up to with good pacing and timed cuts. Also props to the halfling for her determination in wanting to attend the wine tasting party.

I was not expecting the Baron's voice to be so good! It's really different from all the other voices the DM has done so far and fits the character so well.

In case you were wondering... Cast of characters DM - Matt Graven - Anthony Beezaura - Leah Safira - Riley Orba - Jordan Erland - John

A tale of a party and how they manage to annoy every npc they talk too. Great stuff very enjoyable. Looking forward to the 90+ episodes I'll be catching up on

The sirens killed me😂

Baron: I will get you the invite but under no circumstances can you let it know that you know me Beezaura: immediately walks out and says "Baron invited me to the party" xD

"Like you said, there's a first time for everything." XD

that Krom interaction was chefs kiss

The baron 👌fantastic interaction, I love how well thought out he seems to be

Damn the baron was legit unnerving...just casually cruel. It's the worst thing.

beez: *does anything* the rest of the table: 🙈🙉🙊 anthony trying to hide from a scene he's not even in is especially good hahaha

I really thought the traffic noises were an ambiance track for the city or some inside joke among the cast until this episode. 😂

I swear to God Orba is a cinnamon roll. I've been watching this series over the course of multiple nights and love it so far! The dms really good and detailed, your all funny and entertaining to watch, your IGD (in game dialogue) is interesting and fun! This is just a great series and cant wait to progress further!

"I am FULLY armed." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Starting through the campaign after seeing you guys on Tiktok and watching the most recent episodes, and I'm enjoying it! I wanted to comment here after 6 episodes or so to say I love the DM for this campaign. I think for me, it's his ability to state all details matter-of-factly no matter how into the weeds the characters are getting. It sells the world as living and breathing when he can think on his feet and pull details from any and all places of the world. And of course the NPC acting is great and he's very accommodating. Love the players too of course! Your interactions are always great. I'll definitely be trying to catch future streams.

The amount of patience and level of professionalism on DM's part is absolutely astounding to me, like this man is nailing it hard, hope he also had/ has fun while DMing. Also no tea, no shade, but I'm having trouble deciphering whether it's just Beezaura's character or Leah hasn't found her footing quite yet, but it feels like she's having the most trouble meshing with rest of the party. At the same time it's both not my business and a rather rude comment, in my defence I'd like to say, that I just hope everyone enjoys their time while playing, and not clicking with others can be frustrating, and I'd rather not have ppl feeling like that. Lastly, I'll end on even more inappropriate comment, but I'm over here, trying to focus on what's going on, but damn that DM be looking and built so good, it's distracting.

wish I could find a group like this 😢

Oh my god! That line with the Baron was absolutely savage! Had to pause and gather myself holy crap!

Came here for "What's in the book?"; stayed for "Will the halfling get into the party?" 😂😂

I'm determined to binge this entire amazing series before I start University in January. Wish me luck.

Discovered your show just a few weeks ago and i just love it.The chemistry between the DM and the group is amazing.I started my first game a few days ago and it is so much fun.Looking forward to catch up to all the episodes.Much love and appreciation from Germany 🇩🇪

Baron is fucking fantastic NPC, playing mob bosses right is tricky, but this GM killed it.

I do love a classy villain.

This is fantastic. Makes me miss my DnD days

My summer is saved! Very enjoyable thus far, looking forward to catching up

I love the fire sale at the dress store 😂

1:32:27 And a very fine smile it can be -if/when Beezaura can keep a hand on her tongue.

As a budding DM, how tf do you even prepare for a Library for your curious party?

"Aaand we're back." "Hold on I just choked." "Aaand back to break."

Coming from S2E12 back to the start of the campaign really got me confused. 1:53:09, when Erland mentions there being lots of beaches on islands, for some reason I was expecting him to follow it up with "The ocean winds are salty, aren't they?" but then remembered they'll only learn that phrase in about 100+ episodes 🙂

I must say that since finding this show the other day I've pretty much been hooked LOL. This series really goes to show that there are fantastic players and DMs who aren't Matthew mercer and his nerdy ass voice actor friends LOL. And while I love critical role, I love what you guys have going as well. All the characters are very endearing and the DM has some very fun NPCs. Are you all willing or planning on doing mini campaigns or one shots of other systems? I would love to see blades in the dark, if so. Or vampire the masquerade. Though, the streaming rights might be an issue so forget I said anything LOL

The Baron sounds like Sean connery

distractions arent around, just a great show.

Just 50 followers aye....well look at you now. Well done. Enjoying this homegame feeling game. Do you have a character wiki that i cant seem to find? Reddit (not a good word currently i understand i understand) page?

I love all the shopping!! I guess I'm weird.

Now Jordan, don't think I didn't see that burp 1:51:21

Im so hooked on these guys right now. I have one gripe though...and maybe this is my critical role brain talking...but who is the cast?! I want to know the people behind the characters and support them in their other projects, but I can only find them referred to as their character names lol. Maybe I'm missing something. I think Graven is named Aaron but I'm not positive I thought I heard someone slip a few episodes ago. Either way keep up the good work all!

Great job everyone very interesting story and world!

Can someone tell me why Leah is no longer in the campaign? I don't see her in many of the newer shorts.

What's the muscle shirt's story? Don't get me wrong I'm hungry for info on the curse caster and myconid extract, but magenta sleeveless tee needs a backstory.

Krom is the best! 47:29

Is it just me or does the baron sounds somewhere between george Bush and sean connery

Do you play right next to the fire station?

Loud siren there.

2:06:36 that's why you don't talk to police^^

Are these guys recording in California? PST?

May i know at what episode will the audio quality get better? Im not complaining, just for anticipation :D (sometimes the laughings are so loud with earphone, then they talk so quietly that i struggle to catch the meaning without it

Yo the hate for Bertram is real 😂

Ребят вы просто потрясающие :3

That half elf is such a Karen! Hilarious! Calling the officer a racist because he called a Goliath a Goliath! Lol

Sitting and eating breakfast, listening to the cast discuss toenail clippings was not very comfortable

I gagged a little with the toe nails xD

I'm enjoying these, but the background music is really irritating. Please tell me that the later episodes don't have it.
