The Legend of Vox Machina Season 3 comes out October 3rd! Here’s the new opening and interview with the cast!

If it helps assuage anyone who is worried about what Beacon means for stuff that is already and currently available on YouTube for free, from the announcement post:

The State of the Role reiterates this: "Now, I'm sure many of you are asking, 'Wait, what does this mean for us Twitch and YouTube subscribers?' And the answer is: Nothing changes for those audiences on how you view our main shows. You will still be able to watch and listen freely with the same release schedule that it has always been for all these nine going on 10 years."

Also, if you were to navigate to an episode on the site that is already on YouTube, for example Campaign 3 Episode 93, they cross-link to the free version on YouTube, stating that it is the version with ads:

In short: they are not removing the freely accessible episodes from YouTube, and the episodes posted to Beacon are the ad-free versions. Speaking for this current moment, they have stated and indicated multiple times that they do not plan at this time to remove the work that is currently freely accessible from YouTube and they do plan to continue to stream on Twitch and YouTube and to post the VODs to YouTube as they have been doing, without change.

CR's BEACON and a bit about it

So of course I had to get in on this because I'm all for discounts and early access and NOT giving money to Twitch and YT if I can help it.

And yes, the site is getting SLAMMED at the moment, but I've now managed to get in, and it's working great.

Couple notes:

If you have the same email address for the CR shop and for Beacon, once your Beacon account is created, it auto-applies the discount to the shop. You will see the price crossed out and a discounted price next to the item (limitations do apply, they go over that).

I gather there is some wonkiness going on with the Discord, so I'd suggest waiting a day or so on that one.

Cooldown (the immediate after-show filming) IS WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD. Listening to them conspiracy theorizing and Matt answering a couple things (or in more cases, "You don't know!") is just great to watch.

Yes, there is subtitles/captioning, and it looks like it's done by the same folks they have doing the main eps.

Re-Slayer's Take is *NOT* the main cast -- it is run and played by other people. I gather this is in a similar vein to Midst, but them allowing other groups to "play" in Exandria. It is also all-ages-friendly.

There is an app in the Apple store and Android store -- IT IS CALLED POCKET BEACON. HOW FUNNY IS THAT?!

I'll add more to this post as I encounter things!

Happy Neinth Anniversary Critical Role!! 🗡️🔥🐦‍⬛

I just wanted to say thank you to the sweet critters here for supporting my work. It means the world to me. I have two discords, one for my art and one for critical role. If you’re 25+ and looking for a critter discord, DM me! 🫶

I need everyone to see the side car from the Daggerheart Quickstart. it's genuinely an INCREDIBLE piece of design for a game with scale and some crunch to it, and I personally think it's an immensely thoughtful and useful tool that improves player experience and facilitates learning the game and understanding one's character sheet in an easy, clear, and supportive way. it's shockingly simple but stunningly elegant. I hope to see similar player experience and learning aid concepts with other games of scale in the future.

[ahamkaracature]

Guys don’t share this kinda thing people may use it to get access to the dnd source books for free instead of paying for them. This is extremely dangerous for the flawless company that wizards of the coast is.
