Ok so non-Critical Role follower - do I understand correctly that this is the second Critical Role campaign (Vox Machina being the first), with presumably mostly the same VA, but playing totally different characters in a totally different campaign in the same approximate setting?

Also I want to go on record and say Vox Machina and The Mighty Nein are terrible names for groups, and this one is particularly bad because there appear to 7 of them!

Still, hopefully it's as good as or better than Vox Machina, which I've been mostly enjoying on Prime (I wish they'd use more actual spells and fewer generic energy blasts though).

Haven't seen/listened to any of them, but might be like Ben Folds Five, which was a three man band.

Is there a limit to the amount of penis drawings you can have per episode?

that's.... a valid point. And a recurring joke during the game

Ok fair enough lol.

I mean I guess at least it might confuse your enemies - "Where are the other two?".

we're about to find out

I am shocked they're kicking this off this fast. I expected it would be coming after Vox Machina, not concurrent with it. Very happy to see it coming.

Oh Sweet Summer Child ... you'll be quite happy if you wait, watch and enjoy without worrying about these things. 7/9 will make sense in the end.

also, mighty nein happens about 20 years after vox machina ends. It was smart of them to make it in an entirelly new continent and make very few references and cameos from the first campaign

They lost two in the sewers

I thought they were saying a Mighty No!

Considering that unless it's been established otherwise, neither Latin nor German would exist in that world, I'm inclined to agree. But I also think that, considering some of the awful adventuring party names I've seen over the years, it could also be much worse.

they use german as a reference for zemnian in the show.

"From a gameplay perspective, Exandrian languages sometimes reference real-world languages but do not have direct equivalents. Zemnian, spoken by Liam O'Brien's character Caleb Widogast, uses German as a reference language, though Matthew Mercer did not consider them equivalent.[1]"

Languages of Exandria

Many different languages are spoken across Exandria. Common is the most widely spoken among humanoids, though most races have a language associated with their people and some geographical locations have regional languages. Many creatures understand spoken language but not speak themselves, and...

Zemnian is effectively German for reasons of Liam O’Brien wanted to play with the little bit of German he remembered from school

Acually, German language does - "Zemnian", I believe.

Well, some people are better at monetizing D&D than others, it seems

I couldn't really get into the VM series (maybe because I had watched season 1 of the actual play) - let's see if MN works better.

This slays me, because its so spot on.

They aren't speaking English in Exandria either.
