      "Anything that can happen, will happen"
      It is to be taken with the provision that; All possible outcomes are likely to occur at least once, over a long enough duration of time.

      honestly i had the feeling Matt wasn't really enjoying it. I fully understand him, I'm known for my bad luck when it comes to literally any game (5 nat1s in a row on a d20, etc.). It's really not fun when you never get to do anything because dice or cards are severely against you.

      @@XpVersusVista I have heard a lot about Matt Mercer being great on _Critical Role_ and seen him on _Um, Actually_ but this is my first time actually watching him do D&D. My sense is he tends to be a bit less naturally bubbly & jokey than the CH performer other cast members, but doesn't necessarily mean he's not having fun, so role playing his character just being constantly short-shrifted (socially + luck of the dice) might make it seem like MATT's annoyed when it's just LELAND. But, I really don't know him enough to tell between "annoyed and letting that fuel his role play" vs "role playing well and that making him seem annoyed".
      I really, really don't think someone who is literally a professional D&D player & DM would go to the extreme of making a game suggestion just to get out of the game though.

      I have a whole lotta love - all my love, in fact - for that plan. That would prevent the goblin craft from climbing, which would allow our heroes to take a stairway to the heavens. It might also leave those enemies both dazed and confused and suffering from a communication breakdown (a real heartbreaker for them); the heroes could then ramble on over the hills and far away, then hop to the misty mountains in a night flight. To keep warm in those high altitudes, though, they might have to don kashmir sweaters or eat some warm custard pie. Maybe they could go to California or the ocean instead, though in an environment with too much moisture, they'd look like fools in the rain, especially if the levee breaks. I mean, good times and bad times, right?

    Okay, this was the most spellbinding battle I've ever seen in a D&D game. So much chaos, so much wild energy, the battle literally changed every turn, so unpredictable and still somehow balanced and fair. What a master display!

    From what I can tell, the nat 20 would have still worked with their rules. That said, I love that he fudged the roll. Matt had been rolling terribly and he was clearly a little disappointed and upset about the cold streak he was on. Plus, his decision made it far more dramatic and allowed for a truly awesome moment with Matt’s character!

      @@SciFiPhiChiPsi I remember reading the argument for why that should be the case for attack rolls but not skill checks, that if you're just not capable of a thing you can't just get lucky like you could with the proverbial stone that slays the giant. And, it makes sense, mostly. But, once the campaign is larger than life enough, it does start to feel kind of lame - somewhere around level 5-10 it becomes "if I'm powerful enough to fight demons and young dragons at this point, X insane supernatural feat should have at least a SLIM chance of success, regardless of if I've trained for it/conceived of it ever before".

      Welcome to being a DM who rarely gets to be a player. And he hasn't had that many bad rolls in this campaign, he just spent one episode soloing a halfling with the stats of a storm giant, so it seemed worse than it was.

    EDIT: there's also the case of how all their characters are evil and have an absolute disregard for each other during battle. Many, many times this episode they throw people off the boat, teammates and trees mostly.
