I'd like to see Taliesins take on playing a wizard. We have seen Ranged and Melee martial and a supportive caster. Squishy glass cannon should be next :) (as opposed to a glass hammer.. ba dum tsch)
I'm deeply curious to see what happens if you de-magic the Bard. Keep the flavour, Jack Of All Trades and maybe one instrument, but swap out all of the spells with martial stuff. Just in case, for example, you happen to exist in a time period where only the people in the floating cities get magic and you're just some grounded poor non-caster, but you still want the entertainer vibe...
I feel like he could do fantastic things with a Ranger, that class has SO much flavor, but the mechanics desperately need a Taliesin style deconstruction and rebuild.
So someone did a summary of Ashton’s action economy on Reddit and after looking it over I’ve seen spellcasters with less complicated action economy than what Ashton has going on
I really enjoy the way Tal thinks and analyzes stuff. I also am a big fan of playing overly complicated mechanisms that are more thematic than optimized and has chaotic effects so I'm personally glad he brings that to CR. I first saw him in the celebrity d&d with Crews and Baker and I noticed how he quietly and subtly helps newer players out because he's paying attention to them. Since then I've seen him do the same with CR guests and it's something I appreciate in people. Also I think you do a really solid job interviewing the TTRPG folks. Feels conversational and still gets interesting tidbits out of the guests.
True… Liam likes dark gritty story telling usually. Or can whip up some amazing dark humor narratives. If there’s ever a story tally boy would be in for candala this would be it.. though grant tal would be amazing at giving a story too. Holy fuck loved his cthulu stuff
Out of all the cast interviews that I have watched I feel the most love for Tal's. Mostly because I feel as if I were interviewed I would react in a similar fashion. I adore his giggle. If I could get that as a ring tone it would make my lifetime.
Comment kind of in bullet points because today is a not good very bad brain day, connecting thoughts is... no. But this video has made the day less awful. Crystal Palace is still one of my favourite one shots, and Candela has been everything I hoped for as a bigger, more intense spiritual successor. I love the stepping away from the Cthulhu style of things. Taliesin's reaction to a year is relatable AF. What the hell even is time. "I blame Liam" Seems to always lead to great things :D Liam is brilliant, and I was SO delighted when he was announced as GM, his character in the last circle broke my heart (in the best way.) Taliesin's crunchy subclasses bring me SO much joy, I hope he never stops asking for/making them. Okay but I want to see "The Penultimate Voyage of the Demeter" as a one-shot. Great interview :)
Nicholas Rowe who played Holmes went on to repeat the role. When Holmes sees a movie about himself in the film Mr. Holmes, Sherlock is portrayed in the film within a film by Rowe.
I enjoy Candela immensely. I guess I relate similar to Tal's thought processes as I sort just jumped right in. The side question I would have is where does the cast get these awesome costumes they wear?
Jenny Newman, jennernugen on socials. Longtime friend of the group, extremely talented. The whole production crew behind Candela (there are credits at the end of every episode!) is great.
Luv CR, a very wonderful bunch of human beings. Not really into CO, prefer Call of Cthuhlu instead but it is a stellar effort on their part nonetheless.
We try and make sure we cover what is in our titles. Just remember that we have a very finite number of characters we can use in a RUclips title, so often times we have to truncate things just to make stuff fit, but we always try and make sure we deliver on titles and thumbs
You don’t have to lie Tal. We know that the “set” of Candela is your home and that it’s actually the story of you life as an eldritch being of great power.
I would love to run or be in a game with the Triumvirate or one of the other secondary factions and do a chapter from their perspective. One of their missions or logs that... maybe goes wrong. That bleeds into Candela stepping in and solving(?) it.
I love Critical Role and the cast. However, I have tried and tried to watch CO, but unfortunately I can never make it more than 30 min. It just feels overdone and more like improv theater instead of a TTRPG - far removed from a group of friends sitting at a table playing a game. **I know if anyone says anything negative about CR that they are swamped with 'Well you don't have to watch' or 'You could have just scrolled past' or 'The cast doesn't do this for you' (They are a huge multi-media company now and specifically CO is a product they are selling, so I'm afraid they are doing this for us). I realize all of these things and this was not meant as an attack.
Agreed, I love CR and I'm looking forward to see Daggerheart roll out, but CO seems really roleplay heavy and (as you said) more like improv theater. Which I think is a good description of it. I'm sure some people love that kinda thing, but it's not mine.
Fair, as Candela is not for everyone, but we will say this chapter started out pretty amazing, so if you watch it and still don't care for Candela, then yes, it is definitely not your cup of tea!
Tal needs to play something broken, which was when he realized that the bloodhunter class wasn't as strong as he wants, he killed off molly (purposely taking damage to down himself when he was about to be attacked twice) and then just rolled a standard cleric archetype with Caduceus
Which Class should Taliesin make Matt create next? Which Boat movie did YOU think was fake? Lets us know! NOW WITH CHAPTER MARKERS :D
Ranger but for rat swarms talison as a pied Piper would be magic

The Leper.......
Impressed you managed to convince a Eldritch being to talk on the show
It only carving 13 unknowable, ancient symbols into our very flesh to do it!
Ok... An eldritch being... That explains it why you were talking to a pyramid this entire episode.
As a member of his cult, He just enjoys turning people insane through answering their questions.
Hey, I made that being laugh at NYCC when I told him Cadeuceus makes me think of a capybara because of how chill he is.
So someone did a summary of Ashton’s action economy on Reddit and after looking it over I’ve seen spellcasters with less complicated action economy than what Ashton has going on
Very true!

The Crystal Palace episode he GM'd was amazing
I love Taliesin so much ❤
same
Out of all the cast interviews that I have watched I feel the most love for Tal's. Mostly because I feel as if I were interviewed I would react in a similar fashion. I adore his giggle. If I could get that as a ring tone it would make my lifetime.
How adorable and quirky and brilliant is Taliesin?! His brain is a fascinating place.
Comment kind of in bullet points because today is a not good very bad brain day, connecting thoughts is... no. But this video has made the day less awful.

Great interview :)
Major kudos for coming up with, apparently, *several* weird horror movies that Taliesin had not seen!
Taliesin bringing up one of my favorite movies, Young Sherlock Holmes, just made my day! I need to sit down and watch that again.
Nicholas Rowe who played Holmes went on to repeat the role. When Holmes sees a movie about himself in the film Mr. Holmes, Sherlock is portrayed in the film within a film by Rowe.
In the Mouth of Madness is the scariest movie I've seen. Had to turn it off at 1 AM and then went back to it.
I enjoy Candela immensely. I guess I relate similar to Tal's thought processes as I sort just jumped right in. The side question I would have is where does the cast get these awesome costumes they wear?
a very talented costuming department XD
Jenny Newman, jennernugen on socials. Longtime friend of the group, extremely talented. The whole production crew behind Candela (there are credits at the end of every episode!) is great.
*insert joke about Taliesin being an immortal/eldritch being here*
I love Tal. CO is just awesome would love to see it animated ! Thanks for a great interview
Luv CR, a very wonderful bunch of human beings. Not really into CO, prefer Call of Cthuhlu instead but it is a stellar effort on their part nonetheless.
Well Call of Cthulhu is a full game.
Thank you for bring the immortal one to us. Taliesin is a wonderful old soul. Iwould love to have the chance to talk to him.
I'd truly like to see Taliesin behind the GM screen one day.
Finally, a non-clickbait vid!
yea they are pretty bad at using explosive titles that aren't necessarily representative of the story item, interviews are good though.
We try and make sure we cover what is in our titles. Just remember that we have a very finite number of characters we can use in a RUclips title, so often times we have to truncate things just to make stuff fit, but we always try and make sure we deliver on titles and thumbs
I didn't know that Taliesin was a cousin of Robert Downey Jr.
Of course he does an eldritch campaign with a mirror. When he did call of cthulu Black Mirror
Yay!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Agree!
Love the fright. Night 2 and Vincent price references! Nice question. What’s the movie with vampires on ship?
Blood Vessel
Or 30 days of night? Although that only started on a ship
Man, I wish I could get a look at Taliesin's subclass for Ashton
i love the new classes, but i am also proficient in ranged and deranged combat, so i understand that i am potentially in the minority
CO. Is a combination of call of cuthulu and stalking the night fantastic .
The Crimson Mirror giving the vibes of The Obsidian Mirror, John Dee's scrying glass. It'll be interesting to see if the two correlate anyway.
27:26 Personally I'm still hoping for the Circle of Square and Triangle. Or maybe the Circle of Continuous Revolution...
This all checks out
Great interview!
Glad you enjoyed it!
OMG is Leo just Tal's take on Angel Dust?
You don’t have to lie Tal. We know that the “set” of Candela is your home and that it’s actually the story of you life as an eldritch being of great power.
Awesome!
Looking forward to watching this. ✊
I think the question crawling through MOST of our minds is ... does Leo read Sutter Cane?
Shout out to all of the Fright Night Fans! Jerry Dandridge is my Strahd!
That's pretty amazing honestly
I would love to run or be in a game with the Triumvirate or one of the other secondary factions and do a chapter from their perspective. One of their missions or logs that... maybe goes wrong. That bleeds into Candela stepping in and solving(?) it.
What's a year when you're an immortal Eldritch abomination/tresure?
I love Critical Role and the cast. However, I have tried and tried to watch CO, but unfortunately I can never make it more than 30 min. It just feels overdone and more like improv theater instead of a TTRPG - far removed from a group of friends sitting at a table playing a game.

Yep, looking forward to see what Daggerheart is all about, plan on participating in the test play starting March 12 :)@@GraphicSushi
Uh...CR is no more that bad improv theater.
I did tune in for about an hour last night@@TheCharacterSheet
Fantasy and romance friends in the same genre.
Thinking occucltist priets
Tal needs to play something broken, which was when he realized that the bloodhunter class wasn't as strong as he wants, he killed off molly (purposely taking damage to down himself when he was about to be attacked twice) and then just rolled a standard cleric archetype with Caduceus
