I wouldnt mind watching them do every intro, without context theyre not spoilery at all

2025-05-28 22:27:42 +0000 UTCY'all should react to the intros they did for Critical Role's campaign 1. They're pretty short, though, so it may not be enough content to justify a video.

2025-05-27 18:15:26 +0000 UTCVox Machina's intro does have that kinda vibe. Another example of a modern cartoon emulating that is Netflix's She-Ra, though that series has it's own predecessor to draw inspiration from.

2025-05-26 22:06:22 +0000 UTCI mentioned in another comment, but there is a short comic detailing Ripley's time working for the Briarwoods. Both the unfinished pepperbox and her missing arm are explained there.

2025-05-26 22:05:14 +0000 UTCSomeone i think mentioned this already but ya Matt never plans to kill someone, but he doesn't hold back. And ya they are all aware that death can happen at any moment! But that also means survival is also always there too!

2025-05-26 21:48:28 +0000 UTCSo the reason Ripley has the unfinished pepper box is never actually said in the show. Bit is explained in the campaign. Basically when vox machina met percy he was in prison for attempted murder. The attempted murder happened to be Dr Ripley when she was in another city. The guards of that city stopped him and she ran away back to Whitestone having now seen his weapon and is trying to replicate it

2025-05-26 21:39:06 +0000 UTCI am aging myself with this comment, but the intro to TLOVM reminds me of the intro to the classic Thundercats cartoon. Granted, the Thundercats intro was much more hyper-kinetic, but the vibe is the same and the characters each get their moments in both intros.

2025-05-26 21:39:02 +0000 UTCahh i am a bear totem in my game so I conflated the two

2025-05-26 21:05:54 +0000 UTCI feel like it's 60% vampire charm, 15% Stockholm Syndrome, and 15% resentment. The charm probably amplified the other two.

2025-05-26 20:40:46 +0000 UTCBtw, not all damage is halved by Rage, unless you are that one specific subclass (Bear Totem) that gets to halve everything, which Grog is not. It is only basic physical stuff, slashing, piercing, bludgeoning damage.

2025-05-26 20:04:37 +0000 UTCBtw Montana is 100% correct about Cass. She had a mix of Stockholm syndrome, resentment for Percy running away and vampiric mind control going as confirmed by Matt Mercer himself.
David Bodor
2025-05-26 19:49:45 +0000 UTCRipley is an interesting character, but an absolute monster for what she did with torturing Percy and Cass not to mention killing a bunch of the other family members too.

2025-05-26 19:48:25 +0000 UTCAlso, cmon Keyleth. Have a heart, lol.

2025-05-26 17:25:35 +0000 UTCKeyleth: "Oh, and abandon the revolution we caused?" Funny enough, that's kinda how my first DnD session went. I joined the party when they were opposing the corporation exploiting the town I set up in. I left after the initial encounter with the boss's goons. Only difference is that our revolution . . . didn't end well. 😬

2025-05-26 17:25:14 +0000 UTCThat's what I've been saying.

2025-05-26 17:22:56 +0000 UTCKenny you need to listen to the outros most of the time they're different scanlan songs

2025-05-26 17:09:29 +0000 UTCIt's more Ripley's standing that's neutral. Messed up as it is, she doesn't have animosity towards the de Rolos. This is just business to her, a means to an end.
HBelmont 24
2025-05-26 17:02:05 +0000 UTCOooh definitely the 1- 11 & 12 double drop would be grand! 😬

2025-05-26 16:29:16 +0000 UTCPlus, I hear animating animals as opposed to people is challenging.
HBelmont 24
2025-05-26 16:29:03 +0000 UTCI don't think I could ever consider torturing children to be a neutral activity to partake in. That's just me though.
Sheay
2025-05-26 16:22:21 +0000 UTCMatt Mercer doesnt dm that way with unavoidable deaths baked in. He always gives a possibility even if hes expecting a character to die. Death is always a possibility and so is survival.

2025-05-26 16:11:14 +0000 UTCIt's called Marie Antoinette syndrome, apparently.

2025-05-26 16:10:10 +0000 UTCWe did in fact leave Trinket at home. As has been mentioned, CR was a Pathfinder game before they started streaming and switched to 5e. Animal companions in Pathfinder 1e were extremely good, in 5e they aren't. Early on Laura didn't want to risk Trinket dying because he was a CR 1/4 creature, so she frequently left him at home.

2025-05-26 16:09:30 +0000 UTCPercy and Cassandra's hair change to white was due to the immense trauma and stress of the torture they went through in the flashback and with everything else that happened to them in the past.
Swanzy
2025-05-26 16:05:49 +0000 UTCFun fact thats very subtle. Ripley lost her arm because of the gun. In her experiment to make the weapon she caused the injury to herself. Never outright said but thats what was meant by "mixing science and magic"
Suplee215
2025-05-26 15:39:25 +0000 UTCI'm not sure which pair of episodes would be better suited for a double drop: 1x11-1x12 or 1x12-2x1. Either way, I hope we get one. 🙏
HBelmont 24
2025-05-26 15:37:32 +0000 UTCThere's actually a short comic detailing Ripley's story with the Briarwoods. It's called the Whitestone Chronicles (vol. one), and it fills in quite a few blanks. Not a bad read.
