To clarify from the announcement video since it came out after this thread, Matt Mercer is going to be a PLAYER in Campaign 4.

I want to give Darrington Press credit for immediately throwing him a paying interview. The money has to help, and it says "Todd is still out here doing interviews!"

I hand out a couple every 'adventuring area'. For example, here is a short list of consumables they found in the dorm rooms of a Hogwarts style wizard academy: 24 intact onyx and marble figures worth 10gp each. 1 bottle of glue. 3 slender red vials that heal 12 HP. 1 shimmering blue vial that...

Agreed. I mean, I can see eating corpses to recover HP lost from stress damage as something like Return of the Living Dead where "eating braiiinnnss makes the pain go away". But in general it's such an unnecessarily harsh penalty to block healing from other sources. I would love a Mending Touch...

I think Dragon Prince is a good recommendation for a kid friendly D&D-similar cartoon. And apparently Liam O'Brien is joining the cast for the Dragon King (taking place 7 years after the events of Dragon Prince). Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia and 3Below: Tales of Arcadia are also pretty fun...

I would say... As a person, Taliesin loves sitting on the sidelines and making sassy remarks, which is something even Caduceus shares - his remarks were more wise and insightful, but still born of the sideline snarker. He also loves playing characters with strange and unusual mechanics. Part of...

She was in C3 as a guest player, and she was amazing!

Yeah. Matt starts narrating one of his big villain moments, and his players sit back and bear witness. Brennan starts narrating one of his big villain moments, and his players start asking if they can do crazy things. I would not hesitate to say the Critical Role players have more raw charisma...

Same world - 20 years later - different continent. Mighty Nein stands out as having few cross-overs with Vox Machina, which makes it pretty easy to watch/listen since you don't need to know what happened in VM to enjoy it. The third campaign happens on a third continent, and stands out as...

He really does both. Matt loves the idea of classic D&D where the party wanders around in a sandbox, and his players tend to struggle with finding direction in that sandbox. It's clear they could use a few clear paths in times like these to keep the game coherent. On the other end of the...

Loans his $100 to another player. Call it "investment capital."

It definitely worked out for the best. Warlocks don't get Message or Spirit Guardians, and her reluctant healing gave us Caduceus. :geek:

There were several things afoot. Travis wasn't having fun playing a serious leader type, so he made an intentional character shift that involved stepping back from his serious persona to something more relaxed (and dropping the accent, but that was foreshadowed). He also mentioned feeling...

This is good. I've always said the show needed 5 seasons to tell the story decently. Not that it couldn't squeeze things into 4, but 5 was the optimal number to do justice to the campaign.

Also Type 1 Braille.

Onyx Path also has a record of their products being "mostly done" by the time they start crowdfunding. Buyers don't have to wait so long, it gives Onyx Path a good indication of how many people they should print for (+some more), and if the the crowdfunding is wildly successful they can spring...

I really love how most buffing or team support abilities don't require a roll. So anyone can do a "double action" by quickly saying something like "I cast Tava's Armor on Jane, then sling an Ice Spike at the slime!" That's technically two spotlights, but since the buff neither fails nor...

Hard to say. I intentionally use dice-based gaming systems to interject randomness into my stories - I have an old background in freeform gaming where everything was either collaborative, or I decided everything that happened, and I really appreciate how the dice can take the story in new and...
