you ever see a woman slit a guys throat and start hearing wedding bells? see your new battle bestie?

happy thursday!

Something I really appreciate about Sam as a player (that makes a lot of people on the internet really mad) is his absolute refusal to meta game.

To be clear, the goal of DND is not to make The Correct and Strategic Choice all the time. Critical Role isn’t just DND either, it’s Actual Play, which is using the game as a medium for storytelling. Actual Play is a performance, it’s telling a story, and stories are so much more interesting when you make messy choices.

Wick going to find Teor even when he knew Teor was dead made so much sense because

1. We’ve been shown that Wick, as a character, is excellent at denial. His entire religion was revealed as a farce and he’s still a believer. That’s consistent characterization! Being told Teor has died was of course going to be met with a ‘no! It can’t be!’.

2. Wick knew there were other party members with Teor, of course he’d be concerned about them. For Wick to just assume Thimble and Co. would be fine wasn’t realistic!

It takes a really good actor to be able to see a piece of knowledge offered to them that their character could benefit from, and continue to act according to only their character’s beliefs.

Every time Sam does this (Scanlan deciding to leave the party because fuck these guys there’s no cosmic force saying he has to stay, Nott high out of her mind trying to cast a spell she doesn’t have) it makes the story he’s participating in telling better! Funnier! More interesting!

Wick became a killer because of these choices and it spun his entire character arc in a different direction.

Sam Riegel is GOOD AT HIS JOB and that job is to cause problems in the narrative.

I’ll get off my soapbox now.

at what point do we think the news of the death of Julien's father will have reached far enough that he's gong to show up somewhere and be greeted as Lord Davinos instead of Sir Julien, and how much do we think that is going to destroy him?

Its so funny that after that you and your partner( as in a romantic way) die, your souls could end up really differently from the previous life

You can go from this

Or from this

Actually so funny to me that the Seekers have an 800 year old war veteran elf, an experienced druid of an ancient path, and a battle tested soldier and commander, and they're all looking to a 20 college student who died last week for answers, because he can kind read fantasy Latin and his dad is the BBEG. And meanwhile said dead 20 yo college student is frantically waving his hands going "guys I was busy with my Cantrips 101 class and my dad doesn't talk to me anyways, I have no idea what the fuck is happening."
