GEEK & SUNDRY TEAMS UP WITH PATHFINDER AND SYRINSCAPE FOR CRITICAL ROLE ONE SHOT
Tonight at 7pm PST, Popular Gaming Show Critical Role will Experience the Great Goblin Takeover with Pathfinder RPG and Syrinscape

Burbank, CA – April 18, 2016 -- Tonight at 7pm PST, Critical Role cast members and guests will be doing a one-of-a-kind live stream on twitch.tv/geekandsundry. Critical Role One Shot is sponsored by the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and Syrinscape sound app in celebration of Geek & Sundry’s International TableTop Day, which is April 30th.

Critical Role plays an immersive RPG (role-playing game) campaign every Thursday night on Geek & Sundry Live and has become an underground sensation, consistently reaching over 20,000 concurrent viewers every week and over one million minutes watched per episode. On April 18th, Game Master Matthew Mercer will take viewers through a three-hour campaign using Paizo’s Pathfinder RPG, focusing on their goblin module accompanied by Syrinscape’s sound app to enhance the player’s experience.

Matthew Mercer says, “Pathfinder has been one of my mainstay RPG systems for years now and generally one of my favorites. With such breadth in character customization, rich world settings, and a familiar yet deep system for running your own games, I've run just as many Pathfinder games as I have any other system. Our own Critical Role campaign, and the world of Exandria, started in and was run in Pathfinder for over two years! I greatly enjoy running Pathfinder games, and have been excitedly implementing the Syrinscape sound app into my games to elevate immersion and atmosphere even further!".

Joining him for this special live stream will be Marisha Ray and Taliesin Jaffe of Critical Role, with special guests that include actors and writers Ashly Burchand Phil LaMarr and also Ivan Van Norman, Game Master on the hit show, No Survivors, which airs on Geek & Sundry Live on Monday nights.

During the stream and through the end of International Tabletop Day on April 30, a selection of Paizo and Syrinscape’s goblin-oriented products will be offered at a 25% discount at paizo.com/goblins. Also, viewers will have the chance to win prizes throughout the stream, and one lucky winner will win a Grand Prize of Pathfinder RPG products and a one-year subscription to Syrinscape, everything needed to run an epic Pathfinder game.

Critical Role has been running their game for three years and began sharing their game play with a live audience via #GnSLive for just over one year. The cast will be celebrating their 50th episode on April 21st.

This is cool. We know Mercer was a Pathfinder fan and the Critical Role game started as a Pathfinder game. And having the voice of Tiny Tina actually roleplaying sounds awesome.
But it sounds pretty short of a session, especially for new(er) players and a system as crunch and heavy as Pathfinder.

As I type this, the game has been running for three hours (with a short break). Four of the PC's have sung their goblin songs to earn re-rolls--and all four rolls have been worse than the original roll.

The self-described "goblin fart mage" actually set himself on fire with his fire sneeze and knocked himself unconscious.

Inside scoop from Geek & Sundry offices: the stream performed fantastically and everyone is very happy. No plans to do it again yet, but everyone's open to the idea.

I caught about an hour of it and it was pretty amusing. I don't have the time to watch Critical Roll week after week, so this gave me that taste without having to sink in a lot of investment.

Is this still viewable somewhere? I missed it, but would like to watch. Do they wait a week before making the video available?

If you subscribe to them on Twitch, it's available now. It'll be in the G&S website in a few days, and then on YouTube in about 7-10 days.

I bet there's a feat for that too!
