The Mighty Nein Animated Series to Debut on Prime Video on November 19th

The animated adaptation of Critical Role's second campaign is set to debut on Prime Video next month. Prime Video released some new information about The Mighty Nein animated series, including its release date of November 19th. Several new stills were revealed via Rolling Stone, as well as the reveal of several guest stars appearing in the animated show. Mark Strong will play Trent Ikithon, Ming-Na Wen will play Dairon, Anika Noni Rose will play Marion Lavorre, Alan Cumming will play Gustav Fletching, and Auliʻi Cravalho will play Toya.

The Mighty Nein is an adaptation of Critical Role's second campaign, which ran from 2018 through 2021. The campaign featured a group of misfit heroes who were drawn into a conflict between the Dwendalian Empire and the Kryn Dynasty, with the group uncovering corruption and deceit in both countries.

One key difference to The Mighty Nein compared to the previous Critical Role animated series The Legend of Vox Machina is that episodes will run for over 40 minutes. The cast is describing the series as more of a drama than The Legend of Vox Machina.

I'm still waiting for someone to use the tactic of using Sending to scream as loud and as long as they can... 25 times.
Imagine a GOO Warlock doing that to you all night long.

Refresh my memory of this

I agree that her RP choice was not why that death happened, at all. But, didn’t she also voluntarily give herself disadvantage on attacks? Again, I don’t think her not doing that would have changed the outcome one bit. But I do remember thinking it was a choice I probably would have gotten a bit miffed about if someone did it at a table I was a fellow player at, especially in a fight where we were struggling.

Ashly had basically nothing to do with it. She wasn’t going all out in the fight, which is what the diehards expected, so she caught flack.

It was a fight they knew they couldn’t win being down 2-3 PCs. But they forced it anyway.

Taliesin’s character was a blood hunter. They gain power by damaging themselves. During fights it’s very much a push your luck mechanics. Molly kept pushing and pushing and literally KO’ed himself standing in front of the BBEG. The BBEG simply finished him off.

Nothing. It hasn't been done. Someone just mentioned Jester screaming through Sending at some point, and I cracked up imagining someone screaming 25 times. Even doing it as an intentional tactic to mess someone up - like Sending screams to someone trying to give a political speech, or repeatedly Sending screams to a BBEG trying to get a long rest before a big fight.

I completely agree! To reiterate, I really don’t think that choice had any impact on the character’s survival. It’s a choice that I wouldn’t have made myself, and would probably have annoyed me a bit if I had been a player at the table. But I absolutely don’t think It could have made any difference on the outcome of the fight, and like I said, if it didn’t bother the other players then it isn’t a problem.
