So when Critical Role launched the Kickstarter to animate a show, it was for a single 22 minute animated short, with a couple of stretch goals for extras. They decided to ask for $750 000, and gave their backers 45 days to hit that target.
Within an hour of launching they had $1m, and at the end of the first day $4m. By the time the Kickstarter ended, they had $11m.
And now they have a three season deal with Amazon (and a possible five in total for Vox Machina), and a season dealing with the group's second campaign, the Mighty Nein.
Not bad for a birthday present for Liam O'Brien!
Reminds me of the Avatar The Last Airbender roleplaying game. They were going for a 50K $ budget with their Kickstarter over thirty days.
I found it halfway through day 2 and it had something like 620K. By the end they ended up with a Kickstarter of 9.5 MILLION $.
And that is for a franchise that hasn't had a new series in over a decade.
ngl money wise how the show gonna adapt after the ogl 1.0 fiasco wizards of the coast did. considering after that incident back in jan cr is trying to ditch away dnd brand and terminology. the show however its development got those dnd stuff in it. wonder how they gonna address that in later seasons. i assume mighty nein animated probably is where they will kill off any dnd terminology and fully use new names to get out of the ogl issues.
to sorta stupid if reading this and wonder "wait wtf happened to dnd?" if dont know here is the gist. TL/DR: look up a video on it, rec mythkeeper video on the ogl fiasco and better explain things in detail if interested to know wth is going on with the dnd brand and/or the tabletop rpg scene now with how much changed since jan 2023. in easier terms how bad is the ogl 1.0 fiasco: as a react channel you know the name finebros right? if not look up what they try to do with trademarking react and going after channels doing that too. it got that bad and in response they @#$!ed up and tiny react channels got known and reaction business is what it is now.
- jan 2023 ogl 1.0 wizards of the coast (owner of dnd) try to revoke the license that is the ogl made since 2000 during dnd 3/3.5e years. license allows creators to use the dnd brand to make stuff out of mainly at time 3rd party material for races, spells, worlds and such. big one that benefited from this is paizo who later made pathfinder with currently 2nd edition is dnd closest competitor now with slowly dragonbane by free league is crawling up that hill too. all 3 uses the classic dice (d4/6/8/10/12/20) with roots to ogl.
- so to prevent future competitors be big or small benefit off of the license they try to revoke it and demand ppl that uses the planned (now scrapped) ogl 2.0 have to owe money to wotc. first wave of anger is 3rd party ppl that makes dnd 5e material which is dominating on how much creation there is. then came content creators when reading that depending on how much they made using dnd on any site ALL TOGETHER income they need to owe back to wotc. so youtube, patreon, twitch, ffs even twitter and such if make a cent off dnd using those sites and add all together then they must pay wotc. other stuff from quality control of books been a mess with the big one is spelljammers on ship combat is useless and also the race history for the monkey species... you get idea what went down.
- also reason is they want to make onednd/6e but known issue in ttrpg communities is ppl will latch onto past editions due to time and money invest. so wotc plan to urge ppl to jump over is revoke ogl so made 3rd party stuff mostly void and threaten other rpgs that use it in hopes of they slow down making stuff or get rid of that rpg. that and in 2022 they bought dndbeyond (a site/app that helps organize dnd stuff) and begun development of their exclusive dnd only vtt (virtual tabletop, oh and it got beta testing recently... it doesnt sound good at all.) which cost alot of money for both of those. wotc needs to make bunch of money fast and they hoped ogl revoke is their gold ticket... nope!
- ppl revolted against wotc with boycotts. dndbeyond lost about 30% of their subs which each sub is i believe 10 bucks so imagine the amount of money gone from there. this boycott also partially went into the dnd movie on ppl dont see it and if you know the film box office well it worked plus timing with two other major films around it. to add the revoke failed due to how the license is design. ryan dancey one of the architects of ogl 1.0 when used to work for wotc back then specifically made it that it cant be revoked. note: he did present it to exec, he confirms in itnerviews the execs at time skimmed it, sign it and done. so yeah aka wotc back then planted a timecapsule to @#$! them 23 years later.
- now to the CR part. in response to get out of ogl 1.0 issues you got kobold press (dnd 5e biggest 3rd party publisher), critical roll and even paizo stepping away from the ogl 1.0. first two are making their own rpg systems and paizo is making their own license. on top of that months later paizo announced pathfinder 2e remaster which basically kills off any old dnd terms and framework (magic missile, attack of opputunity, core stat numbers, species names like drow and such) with updated rules and releasing next month. critical roll then is making two of their own systems and slowly phasing out dnd from their shows and plan to bury it for good when they can. plus slowly aid other systems to get noticed like the legend of zelda one shot that uses powered by the apocalypse rules. how that big deal? cause they have to present that pitch and system to NINTENDO for APPROVAL. a massive company approves a product that isnt dnd rules. that is a huge deal.
- other stuff related to ppl disliking wotc and judge the brand is the creator summit for dnd became a disaster when dnd reps try to avoid specific questions from creators or answers given gave massive concerns. not dnd related but magic the gathering (also wotc owned) someone got a set early, leaked it without realizing its not the right set, wotc chief of security hired the pinkertons (if know red dead 2, yep same ones! yep still around sadly. oh and chief of security for wotc used to work for them... yep!) go to his home to threaten the guy with his wife and kid present and take the cards away. not long ago for dnd newest book for giants contained ai art. and yes this got a physical release.
- so yeah 2023 and for sure 2024 aint good for wotc and the dnd brand is poisoned, prior to ogl it was 90/10 on ttrpg players playing dnd and its not 70/30 which is big on ppl leaving that system and brand for other trpgs. in response ogl and seeing ppl aint tied to using dnd rules and terminology companies are pushing out new products and there been more tabletop rpgs based on video games. fallout ttrpg is getting popular fast and recently final fantasy 14 is getting a tabletop rpg too. rpgs that still stuck to using dnd rule terms like the recently marvel tabletop rpg flopped with bad reception on how rules are designed. going back to critical roll they are staying on that track to get rid of dnd from their shows whenever they can with most likely it will happen in 2024 or 2025.
@@dungeonmaster16Most dnd stuff has already been stripped from the Vox show without major impact though. They don't use names of gods, spells, monsters etc, they skip over fundamental mechanics like spell slots/levels. What do you think would be taken further from M9 to make a big deal of it?
@@dungeonmaster16
Matt already removed anything copyrightable by either WotC or Paizo way back when he published the Tal'Dorei guide through Green Ronin Publishing in 2017. Stripping the gods of proper names and replacing them with titles (Pelor -> DawnFather, Sarenrae -> Everlight, etc) and changing a few spell names (the spells aren't even really named in this show). So it's a problem they already took care of before it became a problem. The only monsters that WotC has copyright to are the Illithids (which the show skips past) and the Beholder (which they'll alter enough to avoid copyright claims).
Matt Mercer:"I don't make sexy villains."
Also Matt Mercer:*creates the Briarwoods*
RIGHT
The bisexual nightmare
The sexiest villians ever.
*spoilers for campaign two*
Lucien too lmao, I mean part of that is on Taliesin but I mean... Matt didn't have to go that *cough* hard with him.
Let’s not forget about Gannondaof from ‘Tears of the Kingdom’!
20:30
For those who don't know, _gorge_ means not only a location between mountains but also, in older texts, a throat. So the text literally told them where to find the weak spot.
Thus, "gorging yourself".
Also, neck jewelry is called a "gorget" I believe
That and you know, dragons wouldn't like anyone knowing their weakness. Wouldn't be surprised if the authors used ancient words simply to prevent any dragon of destroying the book.
I am proud to say I was one of the 88.887 people who got the chance to back this show on Kickstarter x3. It makes me happy seeing so many people enjoy this adventure through the medium of animation.
Man, I really respect that .887 of a person. Even without being a fully actualised human being they still cared enough to support their favorite creators
I still have my Trinket plushie from the Kickstarter rewards
@@JayJayM57 they made 6 different videos on how the show was made, you might like it. Each vid showing a different area of how it was made.
@@sirhobo5987 same!
Did they do a KS for Mighty nein as well or did amazon just say yes to that project from the get-go?
Fun fact: Delilah briarwood is voiced by azula!
I know this is meant to mean the voice actress but all I can imagine is a Delilah Briarwood impression from Azula’s voice
@@royalrosepetal Happy I met the VA. I know her from Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, and Baldurs Gate 2!
The kids at 5:54 are actually the kids of Liam O'Brian (Vax'ildan) and Sam Riegal (Scanlan the gnome). I forget which kid is the child of which actor, but I always thought it was sweet they got their kids to do a part in the show with them.
Update: I've been informed the girl is Liam's daughter, and the boy is Sam's son!
The girl is Liam's daughter, the boy is Sam's son
@@TriXJester & @LoryK98 Thank you both!
And then they killed them.
Bummer.
@@haku8135 its ok, later in the season they get to voice more people who die. I think Liam's daughter has died a few times over the two seasons
@@haku8135 this was voiced during Covid and they had to record at home. Lots of the kids are theirs and they often die
Oh YES. You guys are gonna FUCKING LOVE THIS.
Especially Gilmore!
The difficulty with door locks I heard was kinda a running joke, during the campaign there were a bunch of moments that doors would give the players trouble
True, and it was HILARIOUS
Doors are perhaps one of the most persistent enemy of Critical Role in general, always playing hardball when they least suspect it or want a dramatic exit
Its the ultimate enemy for them in the honest trailers where it shows a series of doors giving them trouble.
"Fucking doors, am I right?" Vox Machina at any moment xD
@@DeathKitta and chairs....never trust the chair
In D&D, all dragons are capable of shapeshifting once they reach adulthood
In default dnd only Metallic dragons can. Normally chromatic ones, like the blue one in this, cannot.
@@jasonutty52That's what homebrew is for
The five headed dragon is probably a reference to Tiamat, the mother of dragons, the 5 headed dragon.
I always find it funny that it is also the 5 colors of mana for "Magic: The Gathering", another successfull franchise of Wizards of the Coast. So whenever I see this dragon rug, I have to think of the mana wheeel.
Actually it's a reference to *spoilers*
Which is also a reference to the 5 Evil-aligned Chromatic Dragons
@@mariusroth4966 Red, green, blue, white, black. What unusual colors that rarely ever get used for anything. Truly this is the most remarkable of coincidences.
No connection to tiamat
Fun Fact: Liam O'Brien, the voice actor and player of Vax, also voices Gaara of the sand village
I know him first from Darksiders and Marvel Heroes Online.
Also Yasuo from league of legends
Me: how many times am I gonna watch folks react to LOVM?
Also me: Yes.
Gotta keep that engagement up and support the show so we get all the seasons we need!!
Had to do so for a refresher for season 3
Not *everything* has a roll for it, like the sandwich falling and stuff. The show definitely has some specific shots that were dice rolls, but a lot of it summarizes the overall events while maintaining the vibe of the original episodes thst were aired!! Its super cool how much it converts to animation.
That being said, there's a lot of premade stories that make it really fun since it provides guiderails for the DM if they're not so familiar with stuff
Yall don’t roll for sandwich integrity?
Grog doesnt have anger issues, he has anger solutions. Also dont compare typical D&D sessions to matt mercer sessions, there are multiple voice actors who love making characters and voicing them, which is entertaining but sets a very high standard. As long as you're having fun with your group and you talk out how much rp you want vs gameplay mechanics you'll have fun and as you all get comfortable with it you'll get more in depth characters. Just dont expect critical roll levels of role play or you'll be disappointed
I doubt when Liam O'Brien suggested a streamed D&D game for his birthday with his friends that Critical Role would take off as massively as it did, and yet here we are. Vox Machina - the closest Latin can get to 'Voice Actor' and a more friendlier name than acronym name 'the s.h.i.ts' - in the show start off around the second arc of the first campaign, the Brimscythe stuff being an adventure prior to the streams. The main cast (well, all but one who was cut out of the story) all play as their roles, allowing the antagonists and NPCs to be played by others, and some pretty big names I mean David Tennant played Krieg/Brimscythe, which is still a strong cast of voice actors in its own right.
Admittedly it is difficult to try and get up to speed with everything, so sometimes the easiest thing to do is to just jump in and then eventually things start making sense, playing probably takes a bit more dedication but Scanlan's player, Sam Riegel, was completely new to D&D when the streams started, in fact Scanlan's role as a gnome bard was suggested as one of 'the worst character to play as', but the show does help in that regard for the first campaign. A series of the second campaign, The Mighty Nein, is also in the works. The third campaign is still ongoing, but there were also some spinoff campaigns in between (mainly the EXU series) that tie in, and reunion one-shots of the campaign, so as long as it remains successful there will be much more to come.
they weren't streamed. it was just a home game. Taliesin wasn't even playing Percy and Ashley hadn't joined. but the rest of this is all correct
🎵Welcome to The Legend of Vox Machina!🎵
I can tell you you’re in for one hell of a time.👍
Side Note: Nice use of SpongeBob censoring.🐬
As an amateur dungeon master myself who's been trying to get her story to life, my best advice is learning the mechanics of dnd and then just jumping into it. You can always talk yourself out of an amazing experience, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with stumbling your way through things! It's how you learn!!
If you guys DO start a campaign, you should also absolutely record it, too! Who knows, we might get another Critical Role!
I love the "Oh we're getting right into it." followed seconds later by "Holy shit!" shock.
Also yes I would like to see a lord of the rings reaction.
There's so many fun little details in this show. For example a lot of the side characters that seem insignificant but have an impact on the story (like the guy hanging up the poster that inspires the group to go on the quest in the first place) are designed to look like Matt Mercer- the Gamemaster of Critical Role.
The book in Gilmore's shop: Tusk Love,
is actually a reference to the 2nd dnd campaign of CR, where the protagonists found that book and it became a running gag as they had a half-orc (with tusks) in the party.
Sylas Briarwood is also voiced by Matt Mercer.
I am so happy you guys are watching this absolutely amazing show! These two episodes are generally considered the weakest of the series and it just keeps getting better and better from here. Enjoy the ride!
YESSS, so glad to see you guys reacting to this. This is my favorite IP. Youre gonna love the humor, world, and awesome storytelling from this.
Welcome to the Critter community.
Season 2s done, season 3 is in the works, and Amazon announced they signed them to also make a mighty nein show, mighty nein being the name of their second campaign which is my personal favorite
Haha you guys are in for a RIDE! This show goes all over the place and I LOVE IT! So glad to watch this with you. Was a trip the first time. Never gets boring.
The first two episodes were based on a side adventure from before they started streaming on Twitch. The overall plot had been Demons and Devils fighting in the capital of Emon, but they investigated the disappearance of Fince, and found Krieg's lair. Krieg/Brimscythe is an adult - a young adult - dragon. They get bigger.
Now they are heading into a very beloved arc, so hang on for a helluva ride.
And when you finish the season, you should check out the Legends of the Cast of the Legend of Vox Machina, and see just who they got to share the voicing duties. Getting David Freaking Tennant as Krieg is only the beginning.
Oh hELL YES!! Love how you can sometimes see which choices are due to bad rolls, but also the story’s just straight fun. I am 100% right beside Eric in cackling manically
Also R.I.P. editor for all the censorship 😂
Glad to see others enjoying this! I'm jealous of you with the two great seasons to watch for the first time!
Season 2 of this show is Masterclass-level animation. From the visuals through to the acting and music. Simply amazing.
DnD is mostly about having fun with friends, the most memorable moments you have aren't going to be the "Awesome setpieces" or "Adherance to the rules" It's all about collaborative storytelling and enjoying the time you have with one another, the rules are just there to facilitate that so never worry about the "Barrier to entry" It's a blast no matter who you're with or what you're doing.
Everyone gets so caught up with playing the game "the right way," that they forget it's just a game. If everyone is having fun, it doesn't matter if you're breaking the rules or messing things up. Just play however you want to play, and you can't be wrong.
Ngl, I really love this series, plus I think Scanlan is my most favorite vorite character in the show, especially his songs and sense of humor
Scanlan*
i am so excited for y'all to get into this! while i haven't personally watched the first campaign, i am a HUGE mighty nein fan, which is also getting an animated adaptation!!
Bro it's so wild two see you guys react to this, it's like watching two different worlds collide lmao, super excited to see you guys watch this
I’m so happy you guys are watching this!!! I found this show only a few weeks ago. After I binged it I started watching Critical Role’s Campaign 1 (that this show is heavily based on). It’s so interesting seeing how things play out in the original campaign compared to the animated adaptation. It seriously doesn’t disappoint.
I like the dolphin Spongebob noises censoring, but I think you should tone it down a little lol It gets repetitive after a while (but it is good imo).
I hope you will enjoy the show!
Not so sure the dolphin thing works at all. Annoying, repetitive, but also inconsistent. Worst of all possible worlds really.
@@PuffyCloud_aka_puffeclaude I don't think it's bad. If they will scatter it more throughout the video and not every bleep it would be fine.
@@Mettrop_2nd I quickly got over it, sure. It's already scattered a bit, tripled up in places, nonexistent in others. This show is going to be an ongoing issue with this, and I guess if you have to do it at all, a quick mute is probably more viewable to a wider audience.
Or switch it up a bit. Lots of sounds to choose from!
@@rekkariley652 perhaps something from the show, Trinket comes to mind.
Fun fact I like to post is Grog's huge burps are actually made by recording a mix of Laura's(Vex) and Marisha's(Keyleth) burps.
Glad you’re watching this now! You’re gonna love season 2!
Everyone says that the driver at the end of episode 2 looks like ichobod crane. Its really funny how often reactors say that exact line.
HELL YES! You're going to love this. So happy to see this reaction when I opened youtube.
Y'all are coming in at the right time considering that S3 has a good chance of coming out early next year.
There is also another show in the works based around a separate campaign, "Mighty Nein."
Yeah, Im about 30 odd eps into the live show.
Oh yes! Strap in guys. Cause this series is absolutely WILD!
So fun lil fact: When the cast initially pitched this show, it was only supposed to be a short 22 minute animated special. But after smashing the Kickstarter goals, we expanded it to a full animated series!
This first 2 episodes are what that animated short was supposed to be. While the rest of the season is the Briarwood arc of the campaign (in my opinion, one of the BEST bit of the live stream!)
I’ve rewatched this a lot, one of my favorite animated series. I watched all 460 hours of the campaign this story is based on
im so glad you guys started this
also none of this show will be monetized so theres no use in you using the annoying dolphin xD
also yall missed a few times grog said fuck lmaooo
Lmao, Boom saying the exact same lines during the first scene 😂
15:30 That was the plan when Gilmore first showed up in the streams :'D but also, they really loved each other, Vax's and Gilmore's relationship in the campaign was such a heartwarming thing, they really confided in each other.
God your reaction to the opening scene was fucking HILARIOUS! Just the pure shock.
Feel the need to mention during any door scene: locked doors are ESPECIALLY Critical Roll's worst enemies and hardest challenges. Any difficult door scene was basically ripped straight from their DnD sessions.
For the record (in case you haven’t heard or read it yet), the first two episodes of this season were supposed to be a single movie back before a series was thought possible as it was to bring new critters up to speed about how Vox Machina came in before the original campaign really got going with the cast that’s still around. Thanks to one of the biggest kickstarter campaigns, however, they split the movie into two episodes to start the first seasons and are using the rest of this season to showcase the first main storyline of the Vox Machina campaign (and Seasons 2 and 3 are about the second main storyline).
I hear we hit the sailor talk episode of Spongebob.
Gunter's "weh" from Adventure Time is also a go-to.
I've been waiting for this ever since you mentioned it at the end of Invincible
Oh I am back with you guys for this ride, especially after their reactions to the LOTR cannon fodder.
And you don't need a perfect DM, you just need people you really enjoy being around. I've never had a Matt Mercer or Brennan Lee Mulligan 'level' DM but I've had a lot of fun, even with the worst of the DM's I've had. It can be actively fun to learn the rules together.
The guy that Scanlan peed on in ep 1 was voiced by and drawn in the likeness of their DM Matt Mercer.
8:40: "A fricking dragon." Oh please.....the shit they've faced.....and in the animated show, WILL FACE.
VOX MACHINA
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Started watching the stream this show is based on from basically the get go. My expectations were high, and the team blew me out of the water. Have Fun!!!
0:25 "We're just getting right into it."
*Literally seconds later* HOLY SHIT!!!!
Me: I just LOVE that reaction. It's the best
I love seeing more people watch my favorite series but I feel like it's being done a disservice with dolphin noises every three seconds XD
I fucking LOVE this show, so hype you guys are checking it out!
YEEEESSS this is gonna be so hype. i was hoping yall would react to this someday omg
Guys i don't think you need to censor out cursing in these shows, unless RUclips has some more stricter rules on speech now that i don't know of. Besides censorship is not cool at all. But i understand your doing it for protection of your channel.
I don’t know if I’ve ever been more excited for a show reaction from you guys than now
Also, Ashley Johnson and Khary Payton from Teen Titans (Terra and Cyborg) are on the show.
You mean ELLIE, killer of Infected!
@@JnEricsonx who?
@@Samgreen90 Ashley Johnson, Pike, voices Ellie in The Last of Us games. Khary Payton has shown up on Critical Role as well.
@@JnEricsonx never played it, never saw it, didn't know about it.
@@Samgreen90 Epic games.
I wonder if they noticed David Tennant is in this?
Probably gonna be told this several times but a few funny bits of trivia.
The sky ship came about cause the animators HATE drawing normal 4 legged animals like horses and fought for the sky ship cause more interesting to draw for the challenge level. They won the battle cause of the peace out type leaving.
The girl is played by Liam's daughter (Vax's actor) and the son is played by Sam's son (Scanlins's actor)
The blue dragon is played by David Tennent. Honestly if you like that stuff for sure look up the voice actors they got. It's crazy sometimes.
The burp was a combination of Marisha's and Laura's (Keylieth and Vex) burp. There was a burping contest and they won.
you can telll the jokes are good because they each laugh to the jokes one by one haha
Honestly, there isn't one way to DM 'right'. The best DMs find out what kind of game their table wants to play, what genre, what themes, what kind of story their group wants to tell, or if they just wanna go kill a bunch of monsters and loot. And you can absolutely DM with little to no experience. So long as no one goes in expecting Critical Role levels of roleplay, props and storytelling, you can absolutely have a blast just following a pre written module or something.
Oh hell yeah, some of my favorite reactors doing one of my favorite shows. Looking forward to this!
Quick poll here...who would you say is the strongest Bard character
Scalan Shorthalt, Raine Whispers or Soul King Brook
The best part of this show is that it was just a kickstarter for a little episode or something… then the fanbase raised so many MILLIONS OF DOLLARS that they made a whole show!
Hard to believe they got the million they needed in less than two hours
@@SilverScribe85 bro it was like walking into a millennial class room and singing “I wanna be the very best” and waiting to see how many people finished it.
@@fobbles_ I don't quite understand that analogy
AYYYYYYY im so happy you are reacting to this. It's great.
You guys are right. You need a good DM to really make your experience a great memorable one. Thankfully Baldurs Gate 3 on PC/PS5 released. It's a great and faithful D&D experience and you don't need a DM! Such a great way to experience D&D
love this show the guest voice actors that have been brought in including The Doctor himself David Tenant. waiting for S3 ive even gone and started watching their D&D Games that this has spawned from at Critical Role :D. what makes me laugh though is you "Flipper" their swearing but the swear word is on the screen
I love how they said invincible level violence 😂😂😂
Murder Hobos is a dungeons and dragons slang for a type of player. They literally go from place to place killing everything and don't care about story at all.
Brimscythe is actually only between juvenile and adult. Dragons only get more powerful as they age.
this whole video is just dolphin noises LMAO
Just wait until you watch Mighty Nein. That campaign is my favorite. Bells Hells is great too because it pulls in story elements of the previous campaigns together. I hope they animate it as well, but they'd need to finish the story first.
i never knew i need u to react to this until right now and im so glad it exists
OMG IM SO HAPPY UR WATCHING THIS, THIS IS SO UR STYLE AND UR GONNA LOVE IT
I’m so excited for you guys to see this series. It’s so goooood
AHHHHHHHHH! YES! THE DAY HAS COME!
The SECOND I have the dollars to spare I am getting all up on ya'lls diamond tier to binge this like I have never binged a thing before! Words cannot express my hype!🤩🤩🤩
Its a shame one of you hasnt seen LotR since the party that gets gibbed at the start of this is meant to resemble the fellowship afaik
S3 is out, can't wait to see y'all react to it!!!
For those of you who don't know, Vox Machina is based on the company and group of the same name which is campain of a group of professional Voice Actors playing DnD on a live screen for an audience. The very name Vox Machina is a reference to their profession as it means voice machine. The opening to this series is an homage to their DnD game, where the idea is that the group tried to go straight to the big bad, got TPK'd and had to reroll their characters.
P.S.
For the fellow DnD nerds out there everything you see in the show is an ACTUAL DnD spell or ability and there are some great videos breaking them down episode by episode. Here is one example.
ruclips.net/video/-x1KxE1IwdA/видео.html&pp=ygUbZXZlcnkgZG5kIHNwZWxsIHZveCBtYWNoaW5h
Tusk Love was an Easter Egg from their Campaign 2.
Hell fucking yesssss I have been hoping and waiting!!!!!!!
YESSSS i was hoping you guys would react to this at some point!! It’s a great show-
YOOOO VOX MACHINA LETS GO it's so good
Facts
yall had some good insight rolls there ! 😆
ahhh yess i love this series i've been waiting for you guys to react to it!
Vox Machina - the group previously known as the Super High-Intensity Team…
I didn't know dolphins are secretly communicating in open channels to conquer the planet
We can still hear the original curse on about half, but adding in the SpongeBob dolphin curse noise is great, lol!
Please continue this it is so good. And this is just the juicy beginning ❤
Yes, Vax is bi and he and Gilmore have an on and off again relationship. Gilmore, however, is a strict professional. While he may give Vax preferential treatment and "special discounts" he is also careful to never cross any lines and give things away for free. It helps him feel that the relationships he has are real.
i'm not kidding, I know it's a GIANT amount of hours, but crit role is absolutely worth getting into! maybe even react to for the channel! each episode is about 4 hours long so it might be a hassle to turn it into a youtube video, but i would definetely watch it! i would watch if you streamed it as well!
the reccomendation is to start at campaign 2 cause the very beginning of campaign one is messy (one player has to leave, there are audio issues and everyone agrees the story really starts at episode 28). but campaign two is tighter and they are a well oiled machine by then. please check it out!
I’m so excited to see you guys react to this!
2.5 weeks till I get to directly meet almost all these wonderful insane nuts.
Oh, and BTW.... Brinscythe/Kreig is only a young/adult dragon.... They can get MUCH bigger. (He's also voiced by David Tennant.)
Also, there two major types of dragons, Chromatic (which is what Kreig is) and Metallic. Each have five variations, in Kreig's case, he's a Blue Dragon (Lightning.) There's also Green (acid,) White (ice,) Black (acid, but more like vomiting,) and Red (fire.) The Chromatic dragons spawned from Tiamat, the Queen of Evil dragons (who has a head for each dragon color. She's kind of a bitch)
Algorythm comment as I rewatch some fave reactions to prep for S3. Hope to see y'all watch that one, the trailer indicates it's going to be amazing.
Yes! You’ll thoroughly enjoy this show. It’s just gets better as it goes
You guys are finally reacting to it???? I remember requesting you guys to react to it back when I started watching this (a few months, maybe a year now lol, i can't remember)
I love the edited kookaburra noise censor
