Let's Have a Fandom Entertainment hosted Campaign!

Please do fandom uncovered of anime plz ❤.

😲 shaggy!

I have played dnd sence mid 4e and I've loved every bit of it.

😲 Matthew Merccer is an absolutely the best anime voice actor as Captain Levi in attack on titan ❤.

Muscle Wizards cast Fist.

Let's be honest, you have to be a special kind of stupid to make fun of the likes of Joe and the big show...

And he's probably the one D&D player who could do that. Even Vin Diesel was a skinny geek during his D&D-playing days.

Oath breakers man....

@@romxxii You make it sound like Vin Diesel doesn't play anymore, he absolutely does, just not as much as he used to

I played a Human Cleric for 8 years. Retired at L20! Died twice but was raised.

I dunno... Maybe he is hiding the fact that he became a lich. Clerics can VERY easily become lich's

no dm is god cleric talks to god cleric lives the end.

Plot twist, he's still level two and plays him every 10 years.

@@CreativeMakies (:

I really felt it...

I saw this message whilst Matt said that

@Craig Bphone You most of all, Craig.

Yeah.. It gave me a little hope, maybe one day

Dude what a powerful video

She's grasped it perfectly!

Quick, someone show her Belkar the chaotic evil halfling from the 'The Order of the Stick' webcomic! Her halfling rogue is like his twin sister.

Murderhoboism comes naturally

What's D&D without a little chaos... And fireballs, don't forget about the fireballs

Chaotic Evil... Good way to get arrested in my campaigns.

She got how a wizard or sorcerer works just fine

The tree catches fire with you beneath it!

@@corianderlynx9650 Sounds like a legit nat 1 to me...

Don't blame me blame the dice

Use fireball and only fireball! JUST FIREBALL

Pretty obviously a puff piece.

Roth is fantastic 🖤

Cheepchipsable what?

@@Cheepchipsable My 16th level Sorcerer casts 'Puff Piece' on the dungeon troll. I roll a twelve, but my level boons plus the party buffs from Carla MSM and Roth makes it a 22. Does it hit?

@@jeffnicholas6342 OK JEFF OF HOUSE NICHOLAS as you cast 'Puff Piece' This deep mystical arcane energy burns deep within your soul and with a SUDDEN burst of power and light flow through as you raise you hand whilst the dumbfounded Dungeon troll looks at you and you hear a loud 'BOOOOOooooom' as you fall back and as you look up you see this Ball of Arcane and light energy travel towards the troll as it whizzes towards him the whole room is lit up it becoming almost blinding... Now roll damage for me please :)

Hell I start crying just KNOWING that he is about to. Dude is a paragon of empathy!

100%

Or cleric

@@mennograafmans1595 It had Paladin on his T-shirt, so I assume Paladin :)

Surprising absolutely no one.

Religious person here In every RPG that allows it (and even some that technically don't), I main a paladin.

They also probably also saw a lot of "pink elephants" while they were drinking themselves silly!

But like for real tho, my little highschool emo wiccan heart would have been all over actually summoning a demon

So , he summons a demon for what exactly? Apparently not wealth or happiness. Let's face it folks the parents who "saw the demon" were just trying to absolve themselves of the guilt of not helping their child until it was too late.

Rhys Corlett tjlti

I like that this implies the parents watched their child commit suicide and, in fact, did nothing to stop it.

Mercer is absolutely the one that is pure of heart that could remove the sword from the stone. He is better than this world deserves but it is so much better with him in it.

The sad thing is, that Matt stated in one of his Interviews (between the sheets iirc), that he himself has a psychological issue that disables him from accepting positive recognition, he explained that he is just completely unable to think of himself as the great human being he is and believes all the positive reactions to him to be completely undeserved.

He has imposter syndrome. Very familiar to me. It's when you think that all you do is bull crap, all praises are lies and police will soon knock at your door saying "got you, you fraud". It's like being humble, but unhealthy too much.

That’s why he is the man

@@ant1h3ld2 which is so sad, because he deserves this and so much more.

If face-to-face meeting is an issue, play D&D online. I'm playing with friends some 100+ km away, using Discord and Roll20 (there are alternatives as well). I'm glad to see people enjoy a game that i've just started playing a few months back (also due to Critical Role) and my eyes started watering for the 4th time reading your comment. Roll a 20 on that chemo!

I know this is very late, but strength, friend. I got back into D&D when I was going through chemo when a friend was running it online. It was absolutely my social event whe I was immunocompromised. And gave me the strength to move forward. I hope your health is well.

Bless you!

Steven Dunham Thats just straight up amazing, god I wish I knew people I could play with.

Ingemar there are often gaming meetup groups. theres often a game store that acts as a nexus for things like magic the gathering. it can take some putting yourself out there and it’s not always convenient but rather than lamenting not having friends that play, you can think of this as a way of making new friends for a whole new part of your life. but i totally understand wishing you could share excitement with people you know

Same

Omg dude right I’ll go into the DnD sheesh down but no matter what I’ll come out smiling and having a blast

same

Roth is the BEST

Southron_d13 hope you’re okay buddy

@@jenevans9004 Thank you for your concern. We were married for 36 years so it's going to take a while. I've had a few sessions with a counsellor. Tuesday was my birthday, so it was not the best day. There's mutual support with my step-daughter and her family which is great. My friends are helping to keep me busy, as I said above. All the best and thanks again.

Southron_d13 I’ve been married 6 years and can’t imagine loosing my husband. I’m glad you have a good support network. Sorry for your loss

@@jenevans9004 Thank you for your kindness.

My sincerest, most heartfelt condolences. If you're ever having a rough moment and no one's around please don't hesitate to look me up on Twitter at @ZiddersRoofurry

Aww, that's amazing

What a beautiful way to memorialize a loved one 🙂

That is the most beautiful thing I've heard in a while ❤

Same. I will ask people about their experiences, only so I know how much assistance they might need, or how much on-boarding I have to do. I've introduced quite a few people to the game. Guys, girls, any number of orientations and creeds. Never felt the need to say 'no' based on any of that. I work *with* my players to create something we all will enjoy. Adventure, excitement, laughter, and sorrow, pulse-pounding narrative combat. I've been a writer, player, and DM for over 20 years. And my players even if we're not together anymore, due to the tides of life... still talk about the games and stories I've run as some of the best if not THE best they've ever experienced. D&D and tabletop RPG's are for *everybody*. I don't get the gatekeeping.

Girls and classmates of color used to bully me for playing. I played D&D because other people wouldn't accept me.

Love this comment.

@@sezrekahneldar4058 That's usually how it goes.

Hello sir, if a player tried to make a new hive mind species, would you allow it?

i thought i was the only one that cried

I cried, then watched it again and then cried again. I love D&D and this community

@@lurchlasagne6346 I did the same thing! Omg!

I cry everytime i Watch

big time blurry!

To quote Harry Potter: “Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

Nowadays, you see the same religious that claim to condemn satanism, yet endorsed corrupt white collar greedy dipshits that openly do things that betray the virtues about Christianity. Dungeons and Dragons was just a Boardgame, yet religious leaders ended up putting their faith into lesser men who care more about money and not the people suffering in the world. My Mom is a Christian and let me tell you, she is completely disappointed with how many religious figures selled out. If any one selled their souls to the Devil, it’s them.

Legend of the Seeker!

And the actual D&D movie was utter shit.

Season Of the Witch with Nic Cage. Totally a D&D campaign

The Expanse is d&d in space.

The Last Witch Hunter movie was made from Vin Diesel's D&D character.

For me it makes me respect him so much more. People that can show their emotion are so much more charismatic and respectable to me.

@@Doubleranged1 oh, yeah, 100%.

I also appreciated the restraint in focussing on him. Before CR's star power pulls focus, the video placed many other influential figures in front of CR to better represent the game. It's smart and well put is all I'm saying

my one like,made you 100 likes lol. i would've liked to give more,but i think i have will wheaton curse and only 1 i hit :))))))))))

Nat 20'ed too😂

It's a beautiful thing to imagine

I hope you and your father have a campaign to play now.

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing that!

awesome!

I was introduced into the game at age 10 now a 16 year old I've dm'd 2 campaigns and have played in many, planning to get many of my friends involved, hoping itl be great

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

You also just handed her her very first nerd cred! WTG!!!

That's horrible they did that to your character. That's pretty much a simulation of borderline rape when I think about it. Very disgusting individuals you played with. Honestly, one of the reasons I never seeked out D&D players to play with them. Because I could see that type of bullying to happen to me. I mean, anything in nerd culture is a danger zone for cute nerdy girls to attract losers. I've been burned so many times and learned to stay away from certain nerdy males and to tone down my excitement for my passions and interests. "Oh a girl who's impassioned by the same stuff I'm into! Perfect! She's excitedly talking to me and smiling at me and enjoys my company?! She MUST have a crush on me!" Then these guys get really creepy with me. One guy that I was working on a video game sent me gross nude 3D images of my female characters. I'm also into technology. So I'm a geek and a nerd. Same has applied here. I'd be speaking passionately about computers, languages, hardware etc. And the guy I'd be talking to would think I was leading him on and get angry because I'd get bubbly and excited about my interests. It's the most irritating thing in existence because I cannot be myself. They think I'm flirting with them when I'm not. That's awesome you found a D&D group that you enjoy playing with. I hope the same would happen to me. It'll be a few months of knowing certain individuals before I do ANYTHING creative and fun with other nerds I meet. Not just male, I've been burned by other nerdy females as well. lol and they're much WORSE! Especially these 3 "girls" I knew. 😂

@@mugakamurakumo - Ouch. That's reaaally shitty. I'm sorry that happened to you. Especially over and over again.

What they did to you was foul. I am glad you found better people. Keep healing. Have fun. You are allowed to do that, anyone who'd f*k that up like that is contemptible. May grace enfold and embolden you always.

@@mugakamurakumo Have you tried playing it with a couple of friends you already know? It's better to have fun with just "noobs" who are messing around than it is to play with veteran idiots.

Just remember: If you are not welcome in a group, its not your fault. Its just not the right group and they are the ones who lose out on your company. Form your own group, try different playstyles, or be the GM/DM yourself. There is a game for everyone. May the Dice be with you, always!

Samesies

Right?! 😭

That just means you have a big heart :)

I completely understand. I'm a Security Officer at a hospital, desperately trying to hide these tears and emotions.

I was having launch and now im crying all over my plate... its tragicomical xD

I wanna meet Matt Mercer so badly out of context, if only to give him a hug, whisper "thanks for everything" and then walk off

Oh, and fantastic video!

He's like the second coming of Mr. Rodgers.

CertifiedCarNut I need you in our group

@@misaelsalas9706 lol why's that?

...but we would not borrow their dices without asking. 😏

Do not go far away from me...

Can confirm. Instant C1 spiral of emotions as soon as Liam said these two words.

My God. Same reaction lol. But I felt cheesy good feelings seeing the crit role fam here.

Also Joe saying that he plays a red draconic sorcerer.... ARKAAAAAAAHN!!!

Kirrim Kerman “More like Arkhan the FOOL” lol

This is absolutely remarkable to read. Thank you for sharing this and being a genuine inspiration.

This is remarkable. And truly inspiring. I had written a snarky comment before hitting BKSPC about making me look bad but you really motivated me to explore my creative side even though I am a person of a certain age as well. Thanks.

Can’t stop ! Won’t stop! Keep kicking ass

Thank you for sharing your story, it's an inspiration!

That is really inspiring, thank you for sharing it with us here.

It would have been nice for them to mention that more RPGs exists than just D&D, in genres ranging from classic fantasy, modern day fantasy, science fiction, pulp adventure, steam punk, horror games, sociopolitical satire ("Paranoia" RPG), Sherlock Holmes style investigative scenarios, RPG adaptations of various movies and franchises... But on the other hand, D&D has gotten the most flak from fundamentalists over the years because it was the most visible and known in the USA, while gamers in countries like Germany or France play the American games but also have their own communities with German or French RPG publishers.

the whole gate keeping thing is such a load of crock, nobody can keep you from playing the game, at most they can choose not to play with you, and for the record nobody is owed a seat at any table, if people don't want to play with you then they don't have to, find people who do want to play with you and fucking play the game and stop whining about "not being included" it's getting tiresome and it isn't doing anybody any favors.

@@AlexanderYavhe while i do appreciate that, i would rather ram a rusty soup spoon in my eye than ever reactivate Facebook. It was one if the things i later realized was absolutely terrible for my mental health. I ditched everything but this and Instagram. I can be found there.

The modern world just isn't for everyone and sometimes ya just know when to let it all fall away

Though nowadays, many religious leaders, namely the Christian Right completely selled out to Corporate America, which is a betrayal of their faith. My Mom is a Christian and she is completely disappointed with the direction Evangelical movement is going to.

*reigns

They were saying video games caused violence then too, the 1976 arcade game Death Race was banned because you could run people over with a car - i.e. move a rectangle over a stick figure. Also certain kinds of music - at the time it was heavy metal. There used to be serious major court cases where religious groups would play records backwards and seriously ask band members and song writers why the backwards garbled gibberish sometimes sounded like it said "demon" or whatever.

Stupidity reigns since people became sentient an so capable of it. Haven't you been taught, that 'the wiser man gives in'? Welp, that's why idiots rule.

@July Ol you're absolutely right, I just wanted to point out a pattern. You know "History repeats itself" etc.

You can’t fix stupid no matter how hard we try to

I know what you mean, wow

I want to second this. As someone active in fandom and who has played D&D for years, I can't say enough how meaningful it is to see documentaries showing these nerdy pasttimes in the light in which we nerds have always seen them. Your empathy as filmmakers is everything!

OK I thought I was the only one. Watching this was great. I had such I huge smile the whole time.

Same here. I was not prepared for how hard this hit my heart.

She's amazing, and a goddess. I didn't like her at first (when she joined GM TIps) but that changed super fast. She's an inspiration. ^_^

Haha 😂👌🏼

He got work in movies that weren't written by idiots.

Love it.

Even Hanks wants to know what on Earth he’s doing there

I am sorry to say but that's to be expected from sports. Why? Because it divides people. Two tribes contesting who will win. D&D is COOPERATIVE. Everyone is trying to achieve the same goals and everyone is trying to work together.

Oh trust me, there are toxic people and pendatic rules lawyers in roleplaying games, too, but after a while you learn to spot the different types of players and gamemaster and their styles of running a game, and know which types play well together. And if someone is really annoying, you can bet they are annoying trolls or neurotic outside of the game too, so it's an interpersonal pr psychological problem. In extreme cases, don't hesitate to ask someone who is disruptive to leave a group if everyone else agrees. But gaming will give you a common topic to talk about with other gamers even if they are total strangers when you go to RPG conventions... don't be afraid to try out new game settings you have never played before, people will be happy to show you how the rules work, or talk about their characters and their adventures.

You are always welcome into this lovely part of the world, and I'm sure you could make a great difference to someone, as the whole system has made a difference to many other people. Have fun, and roll high.

You should go and watch Critical Role, and you should find a roleplaying group and give it a go.

If you want to see the toxic and hateful side just say one edition is better than another...lol

Writing my bachelor about the "Library paedagogical applications of D&D" and i feel you so much!

Role playing is a core mechanic in actual ritual magic. It allows a person to work through things physically and emotionally, there by priming their being for when they really have to deal with the situation. Example: Nervous for a job interview? RP it a few times, and you'll be less anxious for the actual interview.

I started Psychology last year and DnD was what brought me to it, so i'm heading the same way with my thesis. If you find the time would you be so kind to send me some of your sources? I've really just scratched the surface and have so much more to learn

@@dndpsych9286 I'd love to! Although Portuguese is my native language, not English, which makes things a little harder, I'd be glad to help you. In which way would you prefer for me to do so?

Welcome back and glad to see it help you!

Omg I'm so proud of you 💕💕 keep it up 😊💕💕

I find it really interesting that you feel the same way about D&D the same way that I do. I am not very outspoken nor out going at all. Most video games I buy are for the single player campaign, I loathe multiplayer. However, I also make it a point to make sure I get out of the house at least a couple time a week to go gaming with my friends, because I know how withdrawn I can get. I honestly don't think I'd do well if I hadn't made the commitment to gaming that I have. Also, major kudos to you for running a game of your own. I've never felt comfortable in the DM chair but for those who do sit there, I have nothing but respect for. :)

Hey!! Welcome back! Glad you found your way to this awesome hobby. DnD is for everyone.

CrimsionKing I hope it’s okay to ask, what would you recommend for a person interested in getting into this wonderful world?

@@ieatgremlins thanks for asking! D&D and role players, in general, are always looking to bring new people into the fold, as the more role players there are the more people you can play with! If you want to get in and play, find a group or form one with your friends. If you are looking for a group, it is common courtesy to bring your own set of dice and the core rulebook (known as the players handbook, the current edition is 5e or Fifth Edition), but a friendly table (a group of players) would be more than willing to help you out and teach you the game. You can find groups online in places like Roll20.com or you can go to a local game store that hosts one-shots (a single session campaign) which are generally designed for beginners or ask people you know if they run games and if you can join one. If you want to watch people play the game, there are a number of twitch streams on-line like Critical Role as well as podcasts like The Campagin and Adventure Zone where you can listen to them play. If you have anymore questions fill free to ask! I will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have.

Carla MSM You also can get a free copy of the Basic Rules from the D&D website-it’s all you need to get started in the hobby. If you like it and want more options, than you can buy some of the books or the Essentials Kit! Welcome to the game!

@@ieatgremlins to add on to what everyone else said, r/lfg is a good place to go too. I met another guy on there that was looking for a game and couldn't find one, so we just organized our own and have been playing almost every week for 2 1/2 years

B'day!

Bidet to you!

Hello bees!

Bidet!!

Bidet!

That's so cool, could do with something akin to that to untangle the knotted tangled legalistic brigade who spend most of their time role playing 'holier than thou' about everything . . . ..

Same here. Im a Christian and a DM. I actually use D&D as a tool to build relationships with people who wouldn't normally hang out with a churchgoer. Its let me have a variety of friends and awesome relationships and even discuss my faith with people who thought lightning would strike them if they ever entered a church. Instead I can show them God's love through a D20. Weird world we live in, eh?

Love the fact that you mention vaping but not smoking.... idiot

@@SkyTempleMusic dude so

@@SkyTempleMusic dude, uncool

I absolutely agree and I think it's also easier to get into cause they're playing with brandnew characters which they weren't for campaign 1. When I started watching campaign 1 I at first thought I hadn't found the right video because it very clearly wasn't the beginning of the story. It's great fun nonetheless but just a heads up. Also also... For anyone reading this who hasn't yet watched it: Don't read the UKposts comments for campaign 1. There are some very vocal trolls (or negative people) there and it can really ruin the experience for you.

The Critical Role UKposts channel also has tips on playing d&d "Handbooker Helper." Quick videos that cover the basics, it's a great addition to the show itself.

Ah yes but the story is better in campaign 1

@@cassandramuller7337 Nah they need to. Negativity shouldn't be hidden per se, and a lot of that negativity was still constructive. The fan base, the show and the cast were maturing. I think a lot of that negativity stemmed from a place of care, regardless of how toxic that passion could seem sometimes. I think especially later in the season, fans were admitting to old anger- me being one of them, and all the same people are still watching season 2. We just needed time to learn and mature too bruh.

@@h.mansari8802 While I see your point to me it was like fire. It burned and it took away a lot of my enjoyment. I think for a first time viewer that can just be really bad. Had I not already started watching campaign 2 live (or while it was coming out) I might have just stopped watching altogether. Negativity is never helpful. Constructive criticism is. And many of the comments I read under the early videos of campaign 1 were just purely negative. Some of them just seemed like people venting to me and it made me enjoy watching less. It's not necessary for new viewers to notice old flaws and gripes but that's what those comments do. Also new viewers don't need to experience the negative emotion people felt 4 years ago. Reading the comments will only detract from the fun.

We need an honest trailer for mazes and monsters

That clip of Tom Hanks should be on Hollywood Babble-on’s “Exquisite Acting!”

"Hey, it's all imagination!" - "Is it?" Yeah, dumbass...!

All the copies of that movie, including the master copies should be gathered up and destroyed....

The whole movie is just awful

This is incredible. Thank you for sharing this.

❤️❤️❤️ That’s beautiful. Thank you so much for articulating it so incredibly and sharing your experience.

Preach it

The funny thing is that many of those people at the start are famous for D&D!

Now hold on shaggy is in the 1st few seconds

Uh... I'm at the start of the vid and all I've seen are famous people.

I was srsly hoping and got the cameos of the Critical Role nerds.

The first guy was Gary Gygax’s son.... literally the guy who made D&D

It is the DM asking, "are you sure you want to do that?"

Same

G&S doesn’t get enough credit. Titansgrave was the first RPG show I ever watched, followed by the first series of Force Grey, and that’s what eventually got me into Critical Role and DnD.

And thank you Felicia, godmother of all critters

dndbeyond.com to check out some text games on there or roll20.com for video conference games. If you can't find a group maybe this will help! :)

Play!

I hope you find a group!

Please find a group and play it will change your life

I host a game on roll20.com and use dndbeyond.com to make characters every Friday 5pm PST. If you can make that time, I'd love to have you join and show you how amazing the game is first hand!

YESS

And Hal with his owl familiar.

I would watch this.

I need this in my life.

I so want that!

Yes and oh yea

@@fandomentertainment Holy Fuck I would love it if you guys like once a month did a D&D game that we could watch like critical role.

She'll just do it to the ones her party show mercy to

Check out Hyper RPG to see Joe DM and play RPGs.

I find just the opposite is true. As an old-school gamer, I'm not a gatekeeper; I'm a keeper of history. The next oldest member of my usual group was 2 when I started playing in the 70s. It's is so much fun for me to convert all my old adventures and modules to 5e and see the players experience the same emotions I had when I first played them. Next up for my group, Castle Amber.

It's still nerdy, but nerdy is *cool* now.

@@AFLoneWolf No, nerdy is fashionable. it will end when the popular crowed fashion to take over.

I have recently started playing with my kids and they love it. My oldest had talked it up enough to get my nephew interested. He got to play for the first time ever last night and he ROCKED IT. My nephew is musical, so I made him a bard, and he loves Iron Maiden, so I named him Eddie, and he just lit up as he thought about all the possibilities of this world. I have been playing off and on since AD&D, and I have always loved being a steward to new players.

I LOOOVE new players because they do the most unexpected shit- its hecking great

sublimetech I talked about this in my interview, but it didn’t end up in the final version-there’s a ton of amazing disabled folx in the D&D community. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and TTRPGs and the community that I’ve found through them has been a huge support system for me, too. There’s some incredible accessibility and inclusion work happening in tabletop, too!

I have fibromyalgia and am disabled. It's very isolating having a chronic illness but there have been great online communities that make me feel less alone. Out of all of them though, d&d is the one community that is helping me get out more. Having a reason to leave the house besides a doctor's appointment is so important. I'm not quite there yet but I'm currently helping to organize a new local group and plan to host games at my house. I'm so excited to play and be part of a campaign.

I just swap the initials when I do it. Me: I'm Matt Mercer ... wait.

You should try it sometime! It's great fun 💕

If you don't have a local group you can play with, online virtual tabletops are bigger than ever before. Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds are both very good and you can get started there. It is so much fun and everyone should get a chance to play!

Most of the famous actors out there play D&D even before the last 5-10 years where it became a bit more 'normal'. Think robin williams, vin diesel, mike myers, stephen colbert... it's super fun for sure. You should join us! Join the RPG side! :)

@@PapaBear_Gaming Find te closest Local Friendly Game Store (or LFGS for short) buy some dice and star playing ^_^ Join the dark side, we have cookies!

How lucky we are to be alive right now!

That is the kind of story i love to hear about!

Please tell me you rebelled and became a pastor! ;)

@@IamRobotMonkey thankfully no. But I have gotten Mormon Missionaries to play board games and Roleplaying games with me.

@@eborgann And you weren't burnt for being a witch?!

That’s amazing

I’m right there with you, getting to see how the game was played changed everything for me. Not even realizing it was the creative outlet I needed when I started to DM.

Same here, i had played previously, but this showed me how dnd could be!

Same here, too! I didn't play for 22 years, but after finding Critical Role I'm DM again

Same here, without Critical Role I would have never gotten up my courage and asked my friends to play D&D. I've always wanted to and never did cause the only groups I found didn't have "openings". So in the end I went "whatever" and decided to learn how to be a DM and just play with my newbie friends. We have a lot of fun and the only rule is to be nice and forgive eachother's mistakes. It's worked out great so far and we're learning every time we play. My brother also has Asperger's and he decided to play a warlock. He has the highest charisma score of all the players and the way he tries to sweettalk his way out of any situation is a marvel to see. I've never seen him talk that much and it brings me joy. So thanks Critical Role and all you other UKposts D&D creators out there for inspiring me and teaching me how to be a DM and how to have fun playing D&D.
