Save your money. Blindspot isn't long for this world. Their ratings have only gone down over the years. It's a miracle they weren't cancelled last season, and their numbers this season are even worse.
I'm pretty sure that most of you folks are just fooling around, but to those who seriously believe that "buying" Ashley out of her NBC contract is a real possibility and a permanent solution for her absence, consider this: TV-acting is her career, she pursues it on her free will. It's probably what she wants to continue doing regardless of CR's success and I wouldn't be surprised if she picks up her next acting gig pretty quick. Maybe she'll get one in LA, that's the best you peeps can hope for.
@@schweppes1313 she'll likely pick on in LA if she has the chance, makes things easier for both her friendships and romantic relations, but you are 100% correct; besides, Blindspot wasn't bought for 5 seasons at face, really no TV show is (though some promising ideas get sold on 2 or 3 seasons apiece), so Ashley must have _actively_ chosen to continue on that job after CR blew up at least once or twice... And there's really nothing to it. I think part of what makes CR so great isn't _just_ the quality of the acting, but that everyone there _loves_ acting; helps creating the vibe of so genuine _fun_ they are all having on the set that we love watching. But I won't lie, I was fucking stoked when she came back for an indefinite amount of time =p

@@kubli365 I'm pretty sure it was a reference to Matt Mercer singing it in their Q&A about the kickstarter. I think if even used a still from that part of the video in this one.
Though I'm actually glad all those studios turned them down. A studio agreeing to make the project would not be nearly as satisfying as them seeing the Critters crush that goal. It would have just been more of a business deal than to see them Broken by how fast the Critters jumped on that.
@@Logan_Baron Agreed. Also, studios putting money into the project means they can dictate stuff about what goes and what doesn't on screen. Say a bisexual (openly so) main character? Guts and lots of butt stabbing? By being self reliant they are also the only ones (mostly) deciding what happens to their product.
Critical role- we need money beca- Fans- here’s 11 million dollars Critical role- WHAT, but we didn’t even say what it was fo- Fans- shhhhh we love you, that’s all that matters
I'm a bit worried about when Media companies see the amount of money CR has gained through this campaign. Worried now that they'll try to get their hands on the D&D market and community and wring it dry similar to the Sci-fi and gaming market.
They might produce a lot of trash, but there will be a few pieces of gold between them. It also encourages more people to play DnD. I don't see a problem.
Even if they put out crap it won't make Critical Role bad or any other good stuff, bad. There's lots of crappy sci fi, but that didn't stop the good sci fi.
I'm not so much worried about the stuff that will be produced (Everything will have it's highs and lows when it comes to quality and passion), but more so worried about how corporation may try to monetize every aspect of D&D. D&D is one of those experiences where you don't need expensive equipment to make the most out of it, the "entry cost" is entirely up to you. This is just me being skeptic, but corporations will always find ways to monetize something with lots of traffic.
It's already been monetized. You don't need expensive equipment to play, but said expensive equipment has been there for ages. You have the choice not to buy that stuff.
Note they made 11 million but then AMAZON DECIDED ”WANT ANOTHER SEASON? PARTNER WITH US AND WE’LL PRODUCE A SECOND SEASON PLUS A UNDISCLOSED AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT IS LIKELY VERY BIG BECAUSE WE ARE AMAZON”

Hold on hold on, 25-30$ books and adventures? Where?!?! My local comic shop sells those materials for 50$ each! Also, they sell DnD miniatures in packets of two for 5$.
There are free pdfs of all the books online, as well as many sights that do online character sheets, and heck google has a built-in dice roller. So you can really play the game entirely free if you wish.
@@sirispendragon5524 and only a few of those PDFs are legal, most of them are bootleg, and often poorly scanned or even missing crucial content. I was dealing with a version of Xanathar's that had no index, table of content, and entire sections missing (such as the racial feats and artwork) for two years before I found out anything was missing. But yes, the Players Handbook, Monster Manual, and Swords of the Coast books are officially released as free PDFs.
I mean, in 2 days they are at about $5 million and with 40 days to go, and are within $800k of breaking Veronica Mars record for most crowdfunded TV/Film project
I'm so upset I only found Critical Role at Campaign 2 ep 137, otherwise I would have given as much money as I could have possible given them. They're the only people on RUclips that I actually believe when they say "we love you". I feel warm and like they actually mean it. I love them all so much too.
I discovered it 6 months ago. I'm super mad i didn't knew about it sooner cause the firet campaign was EXACTLY at a point in my life where i would have NEEDED it so bad, anyway, I'm mad at myself for not getting more interested in DnD in general sooner
When the sword graphic on the kickstarter page isnt long enough to pierce through all stretch goals and the last goal is at "?$" since they dont know when it will stop.
It's honestly funny how they asked nicely for a humble $750,000, thinking maybe by the end of the 45 day period they would get enough to hit a stretch goal or two, and the Critter community tore through all their end goals like a derailed freight train.
As much, as i love this, and that we've it 6.7 Million... it is sadly slowing down. We will almost certanly crack the 7.5, but I wonder if we will crack the one after that...
Every kickstarter slows down, and this one took longer to slow down than most. There's also usually a huge uptick in the last 48 hours or so, so I think we're in a good place.
@@wverms oh my fucking god I am laughing my ass off, poor Matt he must be so broken at this point we might break that 7.5 stretch goal lads, and we still have like 40-ish days to go how far can we take this shit, can we break 10? that would be amazing
Thinking back to all the companies that rejected them as I watch all ten episodes on Amazon Prime, happy to be a part of a community that will literally buy anything related to Critical Role. :D
this all went down before i started watching critical role. i remember my mate being like oh yeah they wanna make a tv show im gonna drop like 20 quid on the kickstarter and i was like thats weird a tv show for a dnd podcast but lowkey cool tho dnd is cool im here for that and then like half an hour later seeing critical role trending #1 on twitter because they absolutely demolished the stretch goals
I don't know about Y'all~, but I'd TOTALLY be up for a Critical Role Land, set up as a Ren Fair like park or like that of Evermore Park in a way, with 3-5 main areas set up between the 2 campaigns with little rides/buildings set of those locations for crafts and other enjoyments~. I'm sure if a kickstarter for that started, we'd be flocking to make that place a reality
My wish for Critical Role Land: An escape from Gelidon ride. Actors walking around like disneyland, but way more ren faire plus various dnd races costuming. Bean bag toss, bow and arrow range, axe throwing, garb shops, magic shops, fish market, braving grounds shows, circus shows, a town crier, medieval variant burlesque shows, a Darktow special effects show, a tour of the Xhorhaus. Scanlan's mansion (plus a chicken or salad restaurant), Caleb's tower (a tour ride plus regular restaurant that serves pancakes and dried bugs), pubs featuring Trostenwald ale and Lionett wine. Percy's clock.
Can someone help me? Looking for a compalation video of the cast's first reactions Sam was in an airport Travis kep saying "what" Marisha had a breakdown Laura ana Liem said proper thank yous.
Only being barely several months into the critical role fandom when this happened was glorious haha! 😄 It was great to find out how much other fans love the CR cast and realise - to my delight- that they were not wrong to. (as I'm sure many can understand a lot of previous fandoms I had been in had been disappointing in that respect). They deserve all the love & more ❤️
This makes me so incredibly happy to watch. I’m just sad I was living under a rock and didn’t know about this. I would have been one of those people to have donate...
I just find it funny that they were expecting to reach their goal, y'know some time DURING the wait. but were extra surprised to see that all goals were met and more before the day was up.... did these guys forget that the twitch peeps bought and sent them pizza and food during a number of their beginning live-streams? If fans are crazy enough to do THAT! you underestimated their capacity to shell out money.
I love that picture of Matt holding up a picture of Critical Role land. Because before this he was like 'lol, this is such a neat joke' Kickstarter happens and Critters be like: " Try us." He is scared of the power he wields in this photo
I'm really glad they went with the Kickstarter route. Any network that picked it up wasn't going to have the full idea of what was going on and who knows what limitations they would have put on them. Now the cast and their pick of crew will have all the power to make the show that only they are qualified to make.
I just wanted to say, imagine how salty any animated production company would be for realizing that they missed out on a HUGE money opportunity here. There are players voluntarily pledging $11 million - though through varied rewards. Imagine that kicker.
Critical Role: Hey world, Could we please have money to make something amazing? It’s $750K World: Here’s more than DOUBLE of what you asked for! Critical Role: Bruh... it hasn’t even been 4 hours. WHAT?!
Media companies:"I'm sorry 750k is alot more then we are willing to risk as we dont think this will be very profitable" Critters:"FUCK YOUR 750K HERES 11MILL"

There are free pdfs of all the books online, as well as many sights that do online character sheets, and heck google has a built-in dice roller. So you can really play the game entirely free if you wish.
@@sirispendragon5524 and only a few of those PDFs are legal, most of them are bootleg, and often poorly scanned or even missing crucial content. I was dealing with a version of Xanathar's that had no index, table of content, and entire sections missing (such as the racial feats and artwork) for two years before I found out anything was missing.
But yes, the Players Handbook, Monster Manual, and Swords of the Coast books are officially released as free PDFs.
I mean, in 2 days they are at about $5 million and with 40 days to go, and are within $800k of breaking Veronica Mars record for most crowdfunded TV/Film project
CR: "We want to make..."
Critters: "History. You're going to make history."
6.7 million dollars right now
"Better back down, Matt... there's no funding to make this show...."
"Funds?..... where we're going we don't need.... _drops sunglasses_ funds."
@S S Power Word: Cash
I'm so upset I only found Critical Role at Campaign 2 ep 137, otherwise I would have given as much money as I could have possible given them. They're the only people on RUclips that I actually believe when they say "we love you". I feel warm and like they actually mean it. I love them all so much too.
I discovered it 6 months ago. I'm super mad i didn't knew about it sooner cause the firet campaign was EXACTLY at a point in my life where i would have NEEDED it so bad, anyway, I'm mad at myself for not getting more interested in DnD in general sooner
When the sword graphic on the kickstarter page isnt long enough to pierce through all stretch goals and the last goal is at "?$" since they dont know when it will stop.
That SpongeBob meme is 100% accurate. It was like 45 minutes, lol
I believe it was 43 minutes to be exact. I was trying my best to watch it while on break at work... it was not a good day to be at work.
It's honestly funny how they asked nicely for a humble $750,000, thinking maybe by the end of the 45 day period they would get enough to hit a stretch goal or two, and the Critter community tore through all their end goals like a derailed freight train.
Crit role land? CRIT ROLE WORLD
As much, as i love this, and that we've it 6.7 Million... it is sadly slowing down.
We will almost certanly crack the 7.5, but I wonder if we will crack the one after that...
I mean, there are only so many dollars in the world. It can't keep growing exponentially
Theres still a month to go, with 2 or 3 more paychecks coming
We are at 6.7?!
Wait until people get their next paycheck
Every kickstarter slows down, and this one took longer to slow down than most. There's also usually a huge uptick in the last 48 hours or so, so I think we're in a good place.
over 4 mil now
never underestimate the critter collective - MCM doubted them and look what happened
6 now :)
@@wverms oh my fucking god I am laughing my ass off, poor Matt he must be so broken at this point
we might break that 7.5 stretch goal lads, and we still have like 40-ish days to go
how far can we take this shit, can we break 10? that would be amazing
We're just gonna fund the first four or so arcs and then after that I think the series might sort out the rest, haha. @@h0lly_blue
HollyBlueAgitated we just broke 7.5
Thinking back to all the companies that rejected them as I watch all ten episodes on Amazon Prime, happy to be a part of a community that will literally buy anything related to Critical Role. :D
I'VE HAD THE PAGE OPEN FOR 15 MINUTES AND IT'S GONE UP $2,000
AND NOW IT'S OUT AND AMAZING AND I LOVE IT AND CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 2!!!
Production Companys: hmm idk seems like a big risk for a random animated special
Critters: raise like 11M
Production company: How about 2 seasons?
With all the money they made they could've just made three seasons, a spin off show, AND a feature length animated movie.
I come back to this from time to time to temporarily cure my depression. Thanks.
Ending at over 11 mil, that is insane.
this all went down before i started watching critical role. i remember my mate being like oh yeah they wanna make a tv show im gonna drop like 20 quid on the kickstarter
and i was like thats weird a tv show for a dnd podcast but lowkey cool tho dnd is cool im here for that
and then like half an hour later seeing critical role trending #1 on twitter because they absolutely demolished the stretch goals
...how did you guys miss the Futurama "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY" meme?
So now that we kinda broke the cast .....
Critical role land? No? (I hope it's a yes)
I SUPPOSE I could throw them $20 next week if they nee-- never mind, they got it. All of it. All of the money.
I don't know about Y'all~, but I'd TOTALLY be up for a Critical Role Land, set up as a Ren Fair like park or like that of Evermore Park in a way, with 3-5 main areas set up between the 2 campaigns with little rides/buildings set of those locations for crafts and other enjoyments~. I'm sure if a kickstarter for that started, we'd be flocking to make that place a reality
6.7million and it just keeps going.
$11,385,449

... Holy shit
My wish for Critical Role Land: An escape from Gelidon ride. Actors walking around like disneyland, but way more ren faire plus various dnd races costuming. Bean bag toss, bow and arrow range, axe throwing, garb shops, magic shops, fish market, braving grounds shows, circus shows, a town crier, medieval variant burlesque shows, a Darktow special effects show, a tour of the Xhorhaus. Scanlan's mansion (plus a chicken or salad restaurant), Caleb's tower (a tour ride plus regular restaurant that serves pancakes and dried bugs), pubs featuring Trostenwald ale and Lionett wine. Percy's clock.
Can someone help me?
Looking for a compalation video of the cast's first reactions
Sam was in an airport
Travis kep saying "what"
Marisha had a breakdown
Laura ana Liem said proper thank yous.
One week later and this is $4m short. Fucking crazy.
I love critters so much.
Only being barely several months into the critical role fandom when this happened was glorious haha! 😄 It was great to find out how much other fans love the CR cast and realise - to my delight- that they were not wrong to. (as I'm sure many can understand a lot of previous fandoms I had been in had been disappointing in that respect). They deserve all the love & more ❤️
This should be a full course for merchandise careers, a "how to make a die-hard fanbase".
This is the most wholesome “curb your enthusiasm“ meme I have ever seen
here i opened the video expecting a roast/massive fail meme, and now im just speechless lmao
Ay that's Ellie from The Last Of Us
This is old but it makes me so goddamn happy. Critters are incredible.
sometimes, awesome things happen to awesome people.
This is the most wholesome use of the curb your enthusiasm theme I've ever seen
Two years later and people are still trying to gatekeep a meme not realizing this video is a direct reference to something Matt said.
This makes me so incredibly happy to watch. I’m just sad I was living under a rock and didn’t know about this. I would have been one of those people to have donate...
I just find it funny that they were expecting to reach their goal, y'know some time DURING the wait. but were extra surprised to see that all goals were met and more before the day was up.... did these guys forget that the twitch peeps bought and sent them pizza and food during a number of their beginning live-streams? If fans are crazy enough to do THAT! you underestimated their capacity to shell out money.
They did that for regular g&s streams as well, not just CR.
Oh God, this popped up in my recommendations and jfC I remember the outcry for this. :,D
I’m new to the fandom and I’m both scared and amazed by and you people
i mean 1:29 is just the best reaction image i have ever seen
6.8M lol
Actually $11.3 million
the most wholesome use of this meme format and i'm here for it
And I just happened to get Sam’s D&DBeyond commercial as an ad on this video!
A wholesome curb your enthusiasm. Dnd really brings it out of us
I love that picture of Matt holding up a picture of Critical Role land. Because before this he was like 'lol, this is such a neat joke'
Kickstarter happens and Critters be like: " Try us."
He is scared of the power he wields in this photo
Perfect!
I'm just so proud of us all
Its finally here and I couldn't be happier
God they could make a full length movie at this point Jesus
I'm really glad they went with the Kickstarter route. Any network that picked it up wasn't going to have the full idea of what was going on and who knows what limitations they would have put on them. Now the cast and their pick of crew will have all the power to make the show that only they are qualified to make.
Liam and Taliesin’s thread made me laugh so hard
Holy... Two years!
I just wanted to say, imagine how salty any animated production company would be for realizing that they missed out on a HUGE money opportunity here. There are players voluntarily pledging $11 million - though through varied rewards. Imagine that kicker.
Just wanna say, happy "TLoVM season 2 in the works"
MN on it's way -yeah
This series is gonna be great since every member is a talented voice actors/actresses.
Critical Role: Hey world, Could we please have money to make something amazing? It’s $750K
World: Here’s more than DOUBLE of what you asked for!
Critical Role: Bruh... it hasn’t even been 4 hours. WHAT?!
And we’ll back the second campaign animated show as well.
1:41 ooooo.. that.. REALLY didnt age well.
Media companies:"I'm sorry 750k is alot more then we are willing to risk as we dont think this will be very profitable"
Critters:"FUCK YOUR 750K HERES 11MILL"
Aaaa!! A Mighty Nein animated series in the style of the OP and D&D Beyond trailer would be a dream
That Denny's stretch goal is hilarious.
CritRole really rolled a nat 20 on that persuation check.
It's literally at 11 million now. IDK HOW BUT WE'RE HAPPY
Every time, what gets me is taliesin's 'Pants. I have to put on pants.' I just... its perfect
1:02 Taliesin, Liam, you crack me up!! Lol!
Bears optional. Best part
