"He *made* that!" Matt: *Quiet voice* "I have a problem...."

I for one welcome our new leader, Pervical Musseldorf Musketeers Sanchez Vicario the Nina the Pinta the Santa Maria von Mussel Granola von Liechtenstein Kevindorf Wesley Snipes Magneto de Rolo III.

Can we just acknowledge That Matt Mercer looks Awesome as Geralt?

"Are you afraid you're going to hurt us, Percy?" "No. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." Not gonna lie, I felt my heart break here.

Not gonna lie it genuielly confused me when the video loaded and Geralt of Rivia started introducing the show lol

*Looks at Matt’s costume, which he personally handmade* My friend, you have a gift, not a problem.

Taliesin: Those eyes make you look far more sarcastic than they normally do. Matt: DO THEY 👀👀👀

I love how everyone always says "no, you can't give in to the darkness" and stuff and Grog's just there "yep, I'm okay with brutally murdering people."

I only just now realized that Taliesin's real name is the only one that sounds more fantasy than his character's name

Matt handled telling us about the letting go of Orion with absoloute class, promoting his twitch channel and just asking for respect.

Campaign 1: Liam’s character tries to talk Taliesan’s character that this revenge isn’t necessarily the answer, Campaign 2: Taliesan’s character is trying to talk Liam’s character that his revenge isn’t necessarily the answer. Parallelism!

Sam- rolls a 39 for persuasion Matt- look of absolute disbelief

Scanlen: “Hey you! Toothy! Bite me!” *Rolls 3d4* Sam: “8 damage” Matt: *giggling* “8 damage... how do you want to do this”

Liam having to hold a turn because of Sam killing him with laughter is the purest thing

"I turn into a triceratops" the look on matt's face is friggen priceless

One episode at a time.. One day I'll be caught up..

"Are you afraid you're going to hurt us?" "No. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." Oh my heart.

Watching this for the first time in 2022 is so crazy. not even just dnd-wise, but to hear all the pop culture references from 6 years ago is just insane

Matt lost his own hitpoints when he looked at the sheet to find out that Scanlan's viscious mockery destroyed the vampire.

I cannot get over how well Liam is developing his character. From Vax's gentle attraction towards Keyleth to his slow but sure growing trust of faith and a higher power. He is a complete delight to watch playing.

Taliesin is such an enjoyable player. Never prevents anyone else from having the spotlight, never argues with the DM, never tries to power game. Just a good dude all around, kudos!

I love Travis/Grog lol. A lot of the conversation was basically: Percy "I need you to knock me out if-" Grog "say no more. I'd be happy to"

you know, from a story perspective, Percy being the one to be the most effected by these points of corruption makes a lot of sense, and I'm glad the dice rolls that way

Percy: I have a plan Scanlan: We kill him Percy: That's part of it I love whenever this happens.

Matt's costume is seriously amazing! The fact that he made it makes it even better :D Props!

*Matt:* -says Percy's full name perfectly- *Players:* -go wild- *Me:* -barely trying to contain my scream so as to not wake up my neighbors-

Everytime the party is in long RP discussions I look over to the DM to try to determine what he's thinking next. But all I get is the cold stare of Geralt of Rivia. It's got me like 3 times now and I'm only at the fog monster things

"Bop him on the head and take him to a temple." "Dirt button." "The butt flap of my soul is down; I am well dressed." "Dorito: a strange Elven term for 'flatmate'." "Percival *incoherent gibberish* de Rolo III." "I turn into a triceratops."

Momlin, makes an appearance 03:14:32 - Parent's reaction to D&D

Laura's crazy old lady persona is easily good enough to base a whole character on.

Drinking game: take a shot every time Percy covers his face in anguish when revealing exposition

"vax, let me see whats in your hand" young vax: "A KNIFE" NO!

Matt: yeah, there's an Arcane Boutique- Percy, an intellectual: magic shop

The way they modeled how to get help if you're a kid and someone's hurting you literally made me cry. Like Matt legit made the NPC tell Scanlon's kid that he could come ask him for help and he stood up to the "abusive dad" outright and told him to shape up. As a kid when someone was hurting me I thought I deserved it, but if I had seen something like this modeled I might have realized that I deserved better. I sincerely appreciate the balance of Scanlon's funny bit and and the seriousness of the issue of child abuse and it's one of the reasons I love this show so much! ❤️

"First off you gotta treat your boy better." That had me losing it.

they’ve grown so much from laughing constantly at the costumes in campaign 1 to campaign 2 when one of the most heart touching and serious moments happened with one of them in a glittery leprechaun costume.

HOW. how do Sam and Liam run so smoothly together in roleplay while being asshats yet actually accomplishing things

Grogs quiet implication to Percival that "nah its fine, its ok you handle your business the way you feel like you've got too," is too amazing.

Everyone: *tries saying Percy's full name* Matt: hold my ale

Travis and sam start role-playing that they had a one night stand Matt whispers quietly "its cannon" 1:10:24

"I'm Geralt of Rivia. I made this, and I have a problem...." I freaking adore Matt

Sam in VM: "I call everything a Scanlan" Sam in M9: "Why is every spell named after Caleb???!!!"

i love Sam's encyclopedic music knowledge. he has something for everything

Love how they were joking about Percy's full name and its pronunciation and how none of them could get it right and then Matt just kills it at the end.

Trying to listen to Percy's backstory with the ominous music while looking at tavern wench Travis and Burt Reynolds Sam I can't hold it together.

Taliesin is mindboggling. When he coughs I don't know anymore if it's real cough or him playing his corruption.

Matt's "I have a problem" in the beginning was so cute :D Every cosplayer can relate ;) x

"Okay first and foremost you've got to treat your boy better." That was hysterical!

57:56 Taliesin: "The butt flap of my soul is down. I'm well-dressed at the moment." (I love him SOOOOO much!)

“I’ve moved on from Scanlan and I’ve cut my hair as a sign of change” damn Travis gets women

Toss a coin to your DM, Oh’ Natural Twenty, Oh’ Natural Twenty, Oooohhh. Toss a coin to your DM, Every Thursday (7pm PT) a priority.

I fucking love the but who typed "Percival Twizzlers KitKat Rollo's the third" in chat. I burst out laughing at work.

The look on the entire cast's face when they learned that Percy's sister is alive, so priceless! This cast is a true team and a loving family. So glad the previous tension is gone!

"The moment that I even threaten any of you is a moment I'm not in control." This has every reason to be seen as sad/somber/weak and yet I can't help but appreciate some badass side to it

Matt deadpan looking at the camera like he's on The Office and saying "It's canon" gives me life.

Hey all people that started watching the episode from the 1st one. We are 30 episodes There is no escape

Seeing how much Taliesin gets into being Percy is genuinely heartwarming. You can feel how attached he is to the character 😭

2:59:15 Scanlan: I turn into a triceratops Matt: *pure DM horror*

"I've heard a cough like that before, and it's probably syphilis." No one ruins a touching/intense moment like Scanlan. :'D

Peasant boy scanlan is a god damn national treasure

Orion might be gone, but i'm sure Tiberius - to this day - is still somewhere buying mirrors, training pets and trying to wage war.

I love the little bromance moments between Matt and Travis, they're always on the same page, not afraid to give compliments to each other, and love roaring in each other's faces.

"This stake was ... well done." *takes off sunglasses* [YEEEEEAAAH!]

Man, Sam Reigel is an absolute improve champion. The guy brings it EVERY SINGLE WEEK with the inspiration songs.

2:08:35 I love that when Laura is fully in character, even she doesn't know what she's gonna say. I'm pretty sure "Graaa... nola" started as a genuine guess and just finished itself 🤣

21:00 I like how we zoom in on Taliesin for a serious monologue, then zoom out to see Travis the busty serving wrench

"Guide us, Percival Fredrichstein von Musell Kowalski de Rolo III. Guide us, Vox Machina." oh man...

The more I watch this series, the more Matt's dm style makes sense to me. He's super attentive, and spent huge amount of effort to getting the details down. Even his bloody cosplay are amazing.

2:20:00 Sam's performance as the peasant boy had me in tears for an hour. My chest hurts.

I'm posting them for me as they're good timestamps and they're at the top for me, but if I help someone else by reposting it then great! Edit: Formatting

So Scanlan has killed 3 actual creatures just by saying mean words to them. I love Scanlan.

"Bop 'im on the head and take 'im to a temple." - Grog flexes his wisdom

Forever in love with how much Travis gleefully enjoys Matt's storytelling.

It's funny, Percy says something about killing the main guy last and everyone but grog and Percy immediately try to kill him first lol

I fucking can't, they're all being serious when listening to Percy's dramatic story and fucking Burt Reynolds is sitting there fiddling with some dice and trying to keep his mustache on XD

Grog: "I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you"

I DID NOT expect to open this up and find a Gerrault style Matt Mercer. Wonderful.

7 years later and without Starbucks, but I can’t help but drop a comment on how precious it is to see gigantic, beast of a man Travis Willingham so enthralled and excited about the story arcs Matt spins.

"I would like to rage.." While twirling his hair. LOL

My favorite chat comment ever: “Percival Twizlers KitKat Rolos the Third” XD 2:11:01

"i havent played this game, is that solid snake?", liam says, immediately followed up by laura, "Sigil". Me, "it seems today they chose violence, and it might not go in their favor later."

You know, the more I rewatch Campaign 1, the more I realize how much Matt loved Marisha. I mean, how often does a DM actually find a player who ACTUALLY TAKES NOTES?

That RPing scene with child-scanlan and dad-vax in the bar was absolutely freaking hilarious.

anyone else notice Matt has resting witcher face

Sam: "I turn into a triceratops" Matt: *Visible look of fear*

Percy's explanation about the names, with the 6th one being for all the other people that he would have to hurt to get to the other 5 names was fucking poetic. Think Percy might just be my new favorite character.

"I'm agreeing with the women because I want to live to see the morning", wise words, Percival, wise words

2:08:00 Percy’s name 2:13:30 father and son 2:23:50 I love how Liam is so committed to committing to stuff. A lot of times he or someone else will announce an action and when someone tries to change his mind or interfere with the action he’s very committed to ‘I already said I was going to do this, you can’t turn back time’

Oh my gods the performance by Vax and Scanlan is SO FANTASTIC and I adore the hell out of this!

It's so awesome that Matt decided to go with Talesin's idea of forming a rebellion against the Briarwoods. That's the kind of DM who REALLY makes a D&D campaign into a special story.

"Liam doesn't know how to use knives or swords at all" "He'll learn in time." All Work No Play is truly a blessing.

Out-of-context conversation you hear when listening to a non-battle portion of the video 2:11:00 Keyleth: "I'll take the rod." Percy: "I will make sure that you are compensated when this is over."

Sam killed this episode with his improv. I was dying! lmao And everyone's reaction to the twist regarding Percy's sister is one of my favorite CR moments thus far. I love when there's a twist that no one, not even the person/character who's arc it is, saw it coming.

I'm watching this series for the very first time, and nothing has cemented my love for it more than Matthew Mercer opening the stream dressed as Geralt of Rivia. And also Travis -- I was DYING.

the small little skips in story where it freezes for a minute makes me cry

i've been listening to this in the bg while i play the witcher 3 and clicking on this episode i just had the BIGGEST double-take

The is the best roleplay episode for the cast. The fact they knew Oriion was gone seriously changed the mood (in my opinion). They alll looked like they were having a blast!

Marisha: *trying to explain sky writing* "In the future, they have...." Matt, Sam, and Travis: "Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope."
