      I've been coming up with extreme character designs and I've discovered something beautiful:
      A Centaur with 18 levels in Monk and 2 levels in Rogue equipped with the Horseshoes of Speed and Ring of Water Walking that has taken the Mobile feat and that has been Hasted can travel 880 feet in one round.
      That's one and two-thirds of a mile of unrestrained travel for the duration of the spell at 100mph.
      It could literally run miles around a Gnome.

    (Tip for anyone who wants to start DMing: If there's a fight you know is going to happen, roll all of the enemie's initiatives in advance so you just have to add in the players'. Also binders and separators are your friends! Keep a character/monster sheet tab, an items tab, an NPC descriptions tab and just a random sheet of names you can use on the fly. Organize each alphabetically. You can thank me later)

    From now on, I'm going to enact a house rule that if your action was ineffective, you can cast a cantrip as a bonus action. Livens up things considerably.

      That sounds genuinely really nice for Spellcasters later on in the game, has it been good so far?

    this turned out to be an amazing story and for dming with zero experience Sam did pretty good.
    also that flash forward was interesting and shows that Liam's character escapes questioning at the end xD

    3:44:28 "I haven't lost a hit point that entire game"
    "Natural 20!"
    *Followed by an action surge and another natural 20*
    And that ladies and gentlemen and other identifying people is called karma.
    As Travis once said during the Keyfish debacle : "Why would you even tempt that shit?"

    I went to bed before I finished this. While I slept, I had a dream that Matt came back and watched lovingly at Sam doing a great job DMing. Sam asked lots of questions and Matt said, "Do whatever you want." It was very odd to wake up and finish the episode without Matt there...

      To be fair, Jayne should have taken damage earlier, because Sanctuary would have gone down the moment she attacked

    Three things:
    1. This was awesome! I loved it!
    2. If there isn't yet, please do a part two.
    3. It'd be awesome if this became a Critical Role Animated Series Bonus Episode.
