"How many more are there?" Well, the carpet in that mansion had 5 dragon heads, different color. And one of them... Was blue.

9:17 "Scrooge Mcduck shit" Fun fact: Brimscythe, the Dragon, has the same Voice Actor as Scrooge Mcduck ^^ Good old David Tennant, the 10th Doctor and Killgrave

Scary Fact: the dragon, Brimscythe, is somewhere between a young and adult dragon in this series. Think of it like a 18 year old human eventually becoming 20. Barely counts as a grown adult, and not nearly as powerful.

The first two episodes introduce the group. Starting with ep 3 you've got a major arc that rests the rest of the season. It's just getting started, and it gets better and better every episode. Have fun!

“He has to be magical”. All dragons are magical in the core of what they are.

It's funny to hear you guys reference Scrooge McDuck -- the same actor provided the voice of General Krieg. I also find it funny when people say that they need to "level up". D&D invented "level up"! I may have said this before, because I've left this comment on a bunch of vids, but the Critters are both relieved and delighted that people are going into this show cold and coming out looking for more.

D&D dragons are hyper intelligent, very old, cast magic, have different breath weapons based on there color, can change into anything, and have hoarded of money and magic items etc. Dragons in D&D are the apex predator of the world.

Aside from the main cast who all have voiced fairly popular roles throughout lots of animes and video games. The voice of Pike for example is Ashley Johnson who voiced Ellie in both The Last of Us games and the voice of Vex'ahlia is Laura Bailey who wont a video game award for her works as Abby in The Last of Us 2. Matt Mercer you may know from Overwatch saying "IT'S HIIIIGH NOOOON!" Laura is also the voice of Black Widow in a few games and her Husband Travis who voices Grog did the voice of Thor in a few games... while Taliesin, voice of Percy, also voiced the Flash in a game or two. The dragon was voiced by David Tenant... as in from Doctor Who. Lady Kima is Stephanie Beatriz from Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Sovereign Uriel is Khary Payton from the Walking Dead. Lady Allura is Indira Varma from Game of Thrones. Later you will meet characters voiced by Gina Torres from Firefly, Rory McCann from Game of Thrones, Domonic Monaghan from Lord of the Rings. Oh and yall heard Logic, the musician. He was the guard that let Vox Machina into the palace but told them their bear had to stay outside. I believe he also helped with the "goochiegoo" the guards gave the bear while Vox Machina was leaving the palace. The cast is STACKED. Mostly because the main cast are friends with a lot of these people and once they started getting a few on the rest were like "well why the fuck not?!"

"What kind of door is this?!?!?" A door. It's just a door 🙂

Oh and just as an aside, trust me, doors don't need to be magical to give this group trouble. Normal everyday doors are more than enough.

Glad to see someone pick up on the obvious red herring. They set up the creepy looking elf as the bad guy, and maybe he was *a* bad guy, but not necessarily the dragon guy. But I've only seen a few people pick up on Krieg's suspicious behavior, so it's dope to see someone pick up on that

"they are IN DA BOOTY!!" ahahahahah I love Grog so much! 🤣

Not gonna lie, when you were both frozen after the second dragon attack I thought the app had bugged out. 🤣😂🤣 And I feel both of you freezing in shock is a pretty appropriate response to what happened. Glad you’re enjoying the episode and our fandom! It only gets better from here! 💙💙💙

So damn excited to see you guys experience the glory of this show. Y'all are the best reactors on YT no cap, you add so much humor to things

"This show is wild. They scared about the dragon and this guy is their real issue." Oh you sweet innocent summer children....so naive. So unaware. Hang on to your underwear, it's a Rollercoaster.

"How many more are there?" Four. There are four more. One for each color. Red. Green. White. Black. Blue.

So fun fact, Blue Dragons do lightning damage. As well as certain types of damage doesn't do that much to them like when Kiki called down lighting the explosion.

Also fun fact about D&D dragons, they can change their shapes. Usually into humans though.

Oh, it gets so much better from here! So glad you're diggin' the show.

LOL at calling Grog "Drax"... It makes sense tho!

Love this Show. I definitely need a 2nd Season. The last episode was a total banger

That carpet is going to become very important later in the season for all of your after thoughts.

Oh snap I didn’t know you guys were watching this!! 🤜🏻🤛🏻 it’s pretty good considering all the material they had to work with and all the restrictions they had to deal with. I can’t wait for another season! 🤞

I just finished the first one when this dropped. Perfect timing!

Y’all look like y’all are having so much fun with this one, I can’t wait for y’all to see what comes next!

So you're past the intro part! Welcome to the point where shit gets REAL good. Loving watching you guys watch this, it's a fuckin' joy.

8:50-you guys cracking up is great.

We should meet this Chroma Conclave next season. Can't wait, that will be wild!

Oh shit are we going to speed through this series? because that would kick ass. It gets darker and better with each episode.

You realize down the road that this wasn't random dragon attacks. This was targeted. Strategic. The entire effort of attacking outlying villages was for the express purpose of drawing out contingents of Emon's military out of their fortifications where they could be wiped out in manageable nibbles, leaving an otherwise exceedingly well-fortified city too short on soldiers to run the full outlay of the city's defensive systems.

I love how hyped you guys are for this 😂 it's SO good!

I am SOOO excited to watch you guys experience this show!

Getting kind of a mix of Godzilla and King Ghidorah with the lightning dragon, er Brimscythe. Godzilla for the absolute power, and King Ghidorah for the joy of bringing death and destruction, and the lightning. There's a reason why Ghidorah is known as "The Destroyer of Worlds" in one of the Godzilla films (or was it Rebirth of Mothra 3?)

All dragons in dnd have some sort of magic

Fun fact about ancient dragons, some of those fuckers can polymorph into humans

Four more dragons and it just gets wilder from here.

...a mixture of Godzilla and death... very astute sir

glad you're enjoying the show

Looking forward to the next one!

For those not familiar with DnD, there are three major groups of dragons; Chromatic, Metallic and Gem. Chromatics (white, black, green, blue, red to name the major ones) tend to be evil, Metallics (brass, copper, bronze, silver, gold also the major ones) which tend to be good, and Gem (crystal, topaz, emerald, sapphire, amethyst to name the major ones) tend to be neutral, neither good nor evil. There are also many subsets and offshoots of dragons and other not so common chromatic, metallic and gem ones. Each group has a singular "leader" and in some game settings they are gods of the dragons. For the chromatic ones it is Tiamat, a 5 headed dragon, one head for each major color, Bahamut, the platinum dragon and Sardior, the ruby dragon. Each dragon also has a unique breath weapon, some have more than one, ability and generally outright immunity to the same effects (which is why the Call Lightning spell did not do anything to thje blue dragon); white - frost, black - acid, green - poison cloud, blue - lightning, red - fire; not going to go into the rest as it would be a very long post. Dragons also age and with each category of age they go through, they get more powerful. Dragons are some of the more challenging, non-extraplanar, singular opponents in the game and have changed through-out the different versions of DnD. As of 5e, they do not innately have any ability to shape change or power up from an attack, but most DMs play dragons as having powers beyond what is written in the game rules about them to keep the party guessing. I certainly do, because you do not want the party knowing instantly how to deal with the major BBEG (big bad evil guy). I tend to use dragons as the behind-the-scenes manipulators or supporting the party in secret for the dragon's own, often cryptic, ends. I have heard of Critical Role, but never watched them in the past as I could not see a gaming session as being an enjoyable spectator sport, would rather be actually gaming. But I am very impressed by this animated showing and the story telling. It is a shame Wizards of the Coast is not backing this officially. The company doing this has to be very cautious about not using trademarked intellectual property. I hope that changes for season 2, because this is by far better than ANYTHING official that was ever released, with maybe the animated movie Dragonlance: Dragons of Autum Twilight, being the lone, notable standout, but Legends of Vox Machina is my new #1.

Strugglenation detective agency catching everything.

I love this show so much

Krieg means war. Apt name 😄

Love it! Tyty

It’s a really good show

Finished the show it’s good

Make this a series please

Remember, Krieg had an emblem on the floor of his library with 5 dragons heads of 5 different colors: blue, red, green, black and white. And he was a blue dragon. And now he's dead. So...

My minor knowledge of storytelling and dnd has served me well. I saw all the twists coming.

❤❤❤

H A L O !!!

I this it's good

But what bout the OWL?

Gilmore is the best

Dragons are assh*les when played correctly lol
