The tavern has declared ashley a keeper

Henry crabgrass should be the god of consent

I am glad to see Ashley happy man... she deserves the world. Hell, they all do

Laura doesnt get sleep paralysis, shes just being crushed by travis rolling over in his sleep

I love how every player each simultaneously has a crush on Matt but Matt’s just here doing his own goat sound effects thing completely oblivious to his players’ amusement

when Marisha said "like that person who gets their accent back when they drink" tells me when Marisha gets tipsy they Kentucky slips out

Orym's "I have never felt so small" hits extra hard now. He spent his last 6 years healing, seeking truth, and bringing justice to the death of Derrig and Will. But none of these mattered, he was just a pawn in Ludinus's plan. He is insignificant

i always love when ashley is tavern keeper because the show always devolves into nothing but unbridled chaos and i wouldn't change it for the world

I didn't know Laura does all the thumbnails, directing the shootings, and Photoshop. Very impressive! BTW: It might be interesting and fun for many to get a long detailed behind the scenes look at CR's production (if that's something you want to share and squeeze in your schedule at some point).

I really appreciate Dani chiming in. She's wholesome and fun, she's obviously self-conscious about not taking too much spotlight, but often offers a unique perspective or remembers and knows stuff the cast forget or haven't thought of.

52:45 THAT'S WHY LAUDNA SAID SHE WAS "fun scary and kids loved her" IN THE FIRST EPISODE!!!!

@1:03:30 RE: "Laudna's nightmare fuel." Thinking about it, the first time Laudna was murdered, it was nightmare fuel for Vex. The second time Laudna was murdered, it was nightmare fuel for Imogen. Keyleth takes a shot meant for Vex, it's "omg I can't believe you did that." Beau nearly dies (twice) in the cathedral fight (C2) and Jester is all, "Are you avoiding me? I didn't want you to die..." So at the end of the day, Marisha's character(s) die or nearly die, it's Laura who needs the therapy... 🤔

Laura giving us little tibbits of Jester always puts a smile on my face...that girl is...ugh, i love her so much

Props to whoever does the subtitles for putting Aimee's name at 1:14:27 and also for constant spelling of Deni$e with the dollar sign

Love seeing Ashley having fun with people who love her so much. Be well and stay safe!

Marisha saying "Utkarsh balances out" the chaos is hilarious to hear after watching Episode 63.

I want see Denise find Dariax and have Brennan DM it😊

Ashley always with the strong shoe game.

As a full time dad, Laura just walking off to do parent stuff is the most relatable thing 😆

43:03 Ashley's comment about how Laura sort of narratively chooses her spells is something I've always admired. I started with campaign 2, and Jester actively sought out the Traveler to teach her new spells instead of just "oh I leveled up so now I got new shit". As I'm currently binge watching campaign 1 I noticed it's something she's always done, when she asked Keyleth to teach her to speak to Trinket and the rest of them didn't even catch on before she explained she had a spell available for speak with animals and she wanted to learn it through Keyleth. It's something I try to remind myself of for my own rp, to be mindful of how leveling up affects my character in more ways than just on paper. Like, sure, I got level 4 spells now, but where tf did they come from??

As a oerson who also gets very overwhelmed by noise, it has been amazing to see Imogen and the way she deals with everything. Also knowing that it comes from Laura's personal experience makes me just relate to her so much more

54:34 I love this is being brought up. Because there have been a couple of times where I've been like "Is Imogen going to snap and go dark side?" Because if you think about it, she's essentially still a teenager/young adult who's spent most of her life being relatively sheltered and now has thrust herself into the wider world. And the idea of all this incredible power being in the hands of a emotionally vulnerable, and at times emotionally unstable person who's still coming into her maturity is frankly terrifying if you stop to think about it

2:17:05 "well maybe you should draw better" i'm not even exaggerating when i say there's no funnier person than ashley, she kills me every time i love her sm

Thank you for sharing. Liam n Marisha hit a note for me "everything in life prepared me for this." I felt that way as I've been going through stage iv cancer. Lots of stuff I couldn't handle if I didn't face hurdles/trauma before. It's so true and has been a way to try to deal with an out of control situation. Laudna's attitude about well I faced the worst echoed for me many times during chemo. Well I faced death so I can handle the next.

For the longest time, I always thought Laura Bailey could use an ale barrel full of dice converted into a pinball-bubble gum machine. So each session, she could get a new set of dice from the machine and we could see the swirly twirls of the dice rolling out. Yay for pinball machine!

We need Aimee, Utkarsh and Emily in a 4-sided Dive!

How did no one mention the sound effect of a shield dropping to the floor and spinning to a stop?

Loved the episode - so much goodness here. Lore hints and character background stuff. Liam explaining Orym's slow breakdown, not to mention looking fine AF (HEY I HAVE MY PRIORITIES). Laura explaining the thumbnails process (I've been wondering about this for AGES, thank you, Laura)! Ashley doing the wiggle again. :D Marisha being her delightful goofy self (especially with her describing her monster and later Liam's razzing her about it). Everyone dubbing Bor'Dor the official C3 Hot Boi. I still don't entirely believe Laura saying she actually shat the bed on that roll, but I hope it's true because it'll be great watching the fallout.

Hope you're doing okay Ashely. Much love. 💜

This has such sleepover energy 😂 🪩🤸‍♂️

Ashley Johnson’s laugh is the most infectious laugh I’ve heard in my life. Her chuckle warms my core, man! 😄 She’s a fuckin’ delight. 🙌🏽🙌🏽😌

glad to see Ashley having fun again due to what she was going through recently. this was a really good episode to watch and enjoy💜

Ashley rolling tavern keeper twice in a row ... is just ... SUBLIME

I wish I could inform Liam how much I love Orym. I just want him to know.

Ashley: That creature at 56:20 is Skogsrået it is a protector spirit of the forests. there are different ones Bergs (Mountains) rå, Havs (Ocean) rå and so on. A Rå is a warding spirit of a particular type of place, in Fearne's case it'd be the Deep Forests. Skog is pronounced Sk is the same, the O is the same as what you have in Row in English, and the G is like a soft k, Rå is pronounced similarly to Roe but the Å is not OE its more like the O in Oder for German, Liam can tell you. The other aspect, the one you focused on is simply the Forest Nymph which more Mischief, Sex and Bloody Murder. To Kill one, you need an Arrow on a Stormy Night.

I’m glad Dani is okay she almost stumbled off that bar stool but she played it off so no one on the floor knew of that mishap. My heart almost sank because I love me some Dani Carr

It feels like Dani got into this episode more than usual. It's a good look.

The Ruby of the Sea is cake by the ocean

Honestly I always love Ashley as tavern keeper. Permanent tavern keeper? 🤔❤

I enjoyed hearing how the thumbnails are done

2:18:08 So Dani is also a "close eyes to visualize things" person, interesting.

I can't be the only one who wants Dani to play a bigger role on the side-content stuff. We NEED her in a one-shot at some point too. Maybe the next comedic one-page RPG?

dude whoever is responsible for the editing gags at the end of some of these deserves an award

I think it's like cosmically funny that Liam's moon d20s both rolled a 10 during that persuasion check. Because 10 is kinda the middle-est middle you could roll, and also both the dice for Liam and moons for Orym are not, like full blown religion, but like a little bit of faith, and so that check is his moment of teetering on the "are the gods here still or are they just abandoning us?" question and the answer is "ask again later" Because it's like he IS in the middle. He wasn't brought up * religious * by Ashari, but he's been recognised by Wildmother. And they don't know if they succeeded or failed to stop Ludinus and they have to keep going either way

Answer to Laura's nightmares as seen in 1:31:17... "Since tornadoes are typically frightening and destructive, they could symbolize: emotional struggle, anxiety. feeling overwhelmed, fearing change. an out-of-control situation."

I would love a replay of an older episode with this group dubbing over all of Matt's sound effects😂

I did laugh when you all said Hearthdell was creepy. Matt basically described my idyllic childhood in the English countryside and your immediate response was Yikes, No Thanks 😂

I love watching Ashley do Ashley things. At 2:18:00 her little noises remind me so much of Gurgi from the Black Cauldron

marisha had me in stitches IMMEDIATELY for that mattbook joke

The triceps on Liam, damn...

Set dressing treasure hunt is the best gimmick this show has had, and I think it needs to be added in as a new way to find questions each episode

Orym was 4 or 5 when Vax stayed in Zephrah. That would mean he is around 36 in C3, Will and Derrig died when he was 30

I really liked Ashley's first monster drawing. He was so cute;

There is nothing cooler to me than my favorite CR player commenting on how amazing my favorite D20 player is at the table. It's affirming as fuck lmao

"31 passive perception. If there is a breeze, Im sure I will feel it." With 31 passive perception, he could feel a breeze the next town over.

the energy is sublime here

WHOA I didnt know Laura did the photoshoots! So talented! And the editing! So good

10:41 Ooooooooooooh Snap! Damn Ashley. LoL.

My favourite Matt sound effect is the ice worm screech.

I loved the brief instance where Danny was part of the chair circle. Make her be part of the talks more often!

Well I, for one, like it sad. I encourage Dani to do more of those questions.

I’m so glad Ashley was tavern keeper this time. I thoroughly enjoy her sweet personality and wish her all the best going forward. It has to be a relief to be free of that situation she was trapped in for so long.

This is the best episode. The chemistry with this OG cast is palpable and I have a smile on my face the whole time ❤

ashley's resignation to being keeper AGAIN was just excellent SOUND EFFECTS: i recently got a crit role tiktok where liam was blown away by matt doing a "popping the cork" sound effect. he was just agape. and travis caught onto it and was laughing at it while the narrative was going on FAVORITE: laudna: undying positivity, even though she's been dead... twice... imogen: the will to push even if it hurts A LOT, orym: his calm yet intense way of keeping an eye on things around him, fearne: "im going to turn full chaos goblin at any random second"

This is just an episode of Marisha and all her love interests

These four are so damn attractive to me. Their personalities are just so beautiful and wholesome in some of the most unwholesome ways. It’s downright perfection

Poor Ashley. Twice in a row now that she had to host while on the show. But at least this was a good one.

To add to Dani's theory about Deni$e getting pulled instead of Dariax because she intercepted his fate strand.... Dariax is a Divine Soul Sorcerer. What if he SAW his fate strand coming for him, and in the moment that his eyes locked with Deni$e's, he panicked and instinctively used his magic to stick his fate strand onto her so that she got pulled instead?! A sort of arcane "Nope, not dealing with that right now." type of dodging the proverbial bullet.

Never trust wood spirits, ever. Capricious is the best way to describe them(and I one of my favourite words)

The Dice Gods have spoken! Ashley is Tavern Keeper!

I love that Dani just took Lauras seat

I have always wondered about the thumbnails! Shout out to whoever asked that one!

These people radiate the biggest sapphic energy I ever saw in one room. And I was at pride not long ago

Ashley = CHAOS. Love it!

Always love hearing about everyone talking about their talents and hobby stuff outside of work and the show, Laura is a photography Picaso, like damn. 😂

Loved Ashley Johnson since I got introduced to her pike character

Dani should just have a chair out there with everyone

Timestamps I liked 9:17 Religion discussion 10:06 Ashley & Marisha choosing violence 26:10 Sound effects 43:01 Tower of Inquiry question 2 43:27 Lighting Titties 43:34 Marisha?????

26:10 My favorite Matt sound effect... Or maybe the most memorable Matt sound effect was a moment from c2: can't remember exactly which episode, but there's a big metal plate or bowl or something and it drops to the ground and Matt emulates the sound of it rolling around so perfectly (picture a coin rolling around and coming to rest on a flat surface) that it's indestiguishable from the real thing. So many great Mercer sound effects over the years man, just a marvel to witness. ✊

i forget this at times but they really did find the biggest CR fan and hired her , with Dani didnt they

Caleb, God of the space-time Cat-tinuum.

WE LOVE YOU ASHLEY ❤ THE HOST OF OUR HEARTS ❤

Laura needs to listen to "Chasing Twisters" (the LP version) by Delta Rae. It could nearly be Imogen's theme song!

It’s always great to see Marisha, she makes my day better every time ❤

Completely unrelated but i love how comfy Ashley's outfit looks 🥰

the drama of Ashley's intro XD

My favourite Matt sound effect is the one where he took out the spine whole in some charity game.

0:47 That is a pretty narrow window of time for Matt to dumpster dive for MacBooks in a Circuit City Dumpster. They only just released in 2006 and Circuit City was bankrupt and closed out by 2009. 😅

I just saw y'all had the WNGUOTF shirt in 6xl and I almost cried. I felt very seen. 6'8" and wide shouldered. It's exceedingly hard to find swag in my size. Thank you for remembering us.

I hope Ashley is doing okay ❤ I love her crazy, silly attitude despite everything she’s going through! I hope it’s not just for the cameras :(

I love when Danni gets involved with the groups. Her passion for the people and the world really shines through.

***SPOILERS*** - - - - - - - - - - - Catching up on 4-sided dive but caught up on C3, it's funny watching this and knowing the cast is Marisha and her (now) three in game romances 😂 Also, when Liam said "is Keyleth okay somehwere? She's got to be, I need her to be" then Ashley coming in with "I need Beau to be okay, is Beau okay?", just perfection 🤌🏻

CritRole pinball: yes yes yes yes yes. Pinball is HUGE. Reach out to Stern, Spooky, American Pinball, or Jersey Jack. Given y'all happen to be voice talent, please do amazing custom call-outs for the game, and be generous with access to assets!

They had a split party, so they split the party again.

I love how Laura described Christian the same way everyone described playing with Laura for the first time before cameras started rolling

So, the people in Hearthdell are totally worshippers of the Primordial Titans, right?

Ruidus is like Happy Fun Ball. Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

Only watched a couple of these (4 sided dive) but thought that man everyone is just as crazy as Ashley until the end of this one and it renewed my faith in Ashley, thanks for all the great work and awesome stories.
