Ugh. So much drama...The perpetual failure to mention that there was also 700 Thespians,
No spoilers! I had so much fun watching everyone else watching the first two seasons of Game of Thrones!Holy. Balls.
Cannot wait for the chaos that is Jester to hit the screen. Oh...Molly. Long may he reign.
Here's to hoping the episodes are a bit less compact and we get a bit more breathing room to adapt more of the interplay into the cartoon.
I feel that the Nein were better characters, while Vox has a far more iconic story.MN is probably the best campaign they've done.
You're not wrong. Sam is playing a literal heal-bot, and Talesin is playing the personification of a Punk Rock.Agreed. I still watch…most episodes. For me it’s that everyone went with a joke character with a tragic backstory, except Liam. Like they all got together and decided that Jester and Caleb would be great templates and everyone made a kinda-funny, kinda-tragic character. The result just doesn’t come together as a whole.
Liam O'Brian voices the Red Skull and Nightcrawler in modern Marvel cartoons and has a bit of Gwrman, so early on in this campaign he decided to make a Wizard with a thick German accent and throwing in some words for flavor. We started with this campaign, and speaking as someone who has a majority of German speaking ancestors and also studied German in high school. I didn't realize he wasn't just a German actor for a few hours! Early on, he kept rolling and failing Saves by rolling 9's, and would respond to Mercer asking if he passed with "Nein, it is a nine" while laying it on thick. Then 9's become overrepresented in everyone's rolls for several sessions, and things escalated from there.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).
TBH, I thought Mighty Nein was a lot more popular than Vox Machina, based on fanart and cosplay and other convention activity pre-Covid. But I'm not at all hooked into CR fandom, so...Probably an unpopular opinion, but I'm a much bigger fan of the Nein than Vox Machina (minus Percy and Grog).
