Gauntlet Run Encounter (Not Done)

It sounds like both classes come with an extra meta currency. For the Fighter (Martial Artist?) has a meta currency called "Focus," which is different from a Ranger's Focus, which you can use to do Fighter things. For the Warlock, there is a meta currency called "Favor," which can be used to...

I do feel like Critical Role is in a bit of a bind. If they do switch their multi-year campaign to DH, they will definitely lose those people who were tuning into watch a "bunch of nerdy ass voice actors playing DND." Another issue, I think, is that the popularity of the show and the game will...

Interesting point about the arm. I didn't even notice that it was mechanical until now. Is it just me or is does the mechanical arm look weirdly twisted? It looks like the elbow is way too high and it is bending in a funny way that forces the wrist to twist strangely.
