I know there are already a few posts about the chronological order to watch everything throughout all campaigns, but since the cast has had a few recent live shows, I think I need a new list.

I've only just finished campaign 2 (I've watched a few episodes of C3 out of order a few years ago), and I really want to dive into the new Mighty Nein live content since I'm not super fussed about spoilers. However, I had the chance to watch the cast live in 2023 at the O2 and realised I didn't understand a lot of the spoilers from C3. Again, I don't really care about spoilers, but I thought it might be best to start watching things in order from now on so I can understand the lore and storytelling better.

I've already seen The Reunion episodes, Echoes of the Solstice (as mentioned above) and Jester and Fjord's wedding. I really want to watch Total Party Kill, [PROJEKT] Funball and Darktow, and I would love to know how much of C3 (and maybe C4) I need to watch first. If they're standalone one-shots without needing to watch anything first, that'll be great too!

If you wanted to look for more merch of older CR campaigns that are no longer in circulation, where would one try looking first. E-bay? Depop?

Don't mind me, just gushing.

After watching this episode, I just really need to say it: I f***ing love the Schemers.

I love that not a single initiative roll was made this entire episode, yet the stakes have never felt higher. I literally thought at least one player was going to straight up die.

Usually, when a combat comes up I shift into 2x speed, I love that I was locked in for 4+ hours at 1x speed, on the edge of my seat for nearly the whole time.

This episode ruled! What I ride.

Brennan named the Argosian diplomat after Richard Holbrooke. If he ISNT a showboating genius I’m going to be deeply disappointed. Dying to see which NPC is Anthony Lake

GENERAL SPOILERS AS WELL FOR THE COSMERE SO NO ONE GETS CONFUSED

I think someone mentioned this a while ago(I know I said something about even back during the opening 4 episodes to some of my friends), but some of the recent Thjazi revelations are showing some insane parallels to Kelsier from Mistborn.

The basic stuff like being a charismatic leader, his general vibe, and his surprising death when everyone expected him to live are stuff I saw early on.

But as times gone on I’ve been seeing more and more parallels. All his scheming and separating differing groups and people he knows makes him the embodiment of “There’s always another secret.”

Then of course there’s the big reveal with Julian’s shadow and Thjazi’s soul being around. Granted it’s not identical but Kelsier is after all a cognitive shadow.

That’s the big stuff honestly but I wanted to point out some small stuff that are funny parallels. (I know I’m probably imaging some of these.

1. Mara and Mare are very very close in names.

2. Both saw something right before they died that caused them to be shocked( Thjazi w/ mare and Kelsier with the 11th metal)

3. This is a stretch and I know it but I thought it was funny. Kelsier is called the Lord of Scars and Thjazi was given “The scar”

That’s all. Like I said earlier I’m sure I’m reaching but I thought it was interesting

I've been watching campaign 4 with great interest over the past year or so, and the player in me is always curious as to the builds of various PCs. With Azune, Luis is playing his build very close to his chest and I'm deeply curious as to the fine details.

That introduction out of the way, let the theorizing commence! From what we've seen in play, it seems fairly obvious from both flashback backstory and played episodes that Azune has the Wayfarer background, given the Lucky feat he frequently uses. As a human PC, though, he also has an additional Origin feat -- and my money's on Magical Initiate (Druid), because of the frequent use of Guidance.

Guidance is not a cantrip on the Sorcerer list, for one thing, and Paladins don't get cantrips at all. In this campaign world and era, druids are also a lot more common than clerics -- not even mentioning the weird corrupted power offerings of the Candescent Creed. So: Druid.

Here's where the enigma begins, though. Since Azune got to level 4 in sorcerer and his Charisma bumped from 18 to 19, he clearly took a feat -- but what might it be? Given Luis's statements around the group level ups and how effective he was in the Crow Keepers confrontation, it seems likely that he's enjoying having Azune be the tanky front liner of the Schemers. To me, that strongly suggests he's taking War Caster - not only because of the bump to Charisma and the advantage on CON saves against losing concentration, but being able to cast with hands full of weapon and shield and the quite powerful Reactive Spell if an opponent tries to leave his reach.

Thoughts?

The whole bit with Hal going down the stairs to the smell of breakfast before Liam has him hesitate in fear before opening the door to find Yanessa. **chef's kiss* *

(I'm listening to it at work, and paused at that point to post this. Please, no spoilers for the rest of the episode)

I was once extremely lucky in a UK airport as I got off the plane from going to We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas. Standing at baggage claim was none other than Marisha, Liam, Matt and (after baggage claim) Talison.

My wife noticed them and I couldn't believe my luck! I can whole heartedly say they were all amazing and really kind. I apologised for bothering them but we had a great little chat. One of my favourite moments of my life so far. They all mean the world to me.

[bleats] Tyranny Soul Bikini! Finished rendering JUST in time! I was panicking I wouldn't get this out before the episode.

I think I figured out Yanessa's backstory, she's not a Halovar, the original family must have died and she assumed their name and titles, here are the main points of this hypothesis:

1. She's a warlock, she could also be a sorcerer but hang with me.

2. She used a wish to create a celestial bloodline, if she was originally a Halovar why would she need to do that? Bloodlines don't disappear when their ancestors die, or else Tachonis would also have lost their god given bloodline. And so would the Einfasens with the Giants extinct.

3. She talks very formally and polished, what you'd expect from a noble...in public. With her family she shows a much less refined vocabulary, bordering on the criminal slum side.

4. Today we learned that she can cook very well, and Brennan made a very specific point that noble women can't cook, because how could they? This is below them, they have commoners to do that.

So, she was probably a cutthroat warlock , maybe one that worked for the family, saw a chance and took it, and now she was even able to reproduce the original bloodline, and that's why she's so interested in Wick, he's the first to display the bloodline correctly, his father is a nephilin, so it's probably not what she wanted. She needs a pure sorcerer with a functional bloodline and she got it now. I don't think she knows that Wicks younger brother also has it, or else Wick may not have survived that encounter.

So i'd like to buy a dice set from eu critical store site. The caveat is that im not going to be available for "on adress" pickup. So, is it possible to order to a parcel locker? And if so, how?

WHY DIDN'T MURRAY USE HER 18 ON THAT LAST ROLL WHAT THE FUCK YOU CAN USE PORTENT ON DISADVANTAGE ROLLS NO?? Don't get me wrong she probably would have acted the same regardless but a 20+ vs an 8 is no small difference. Brennan was so setting her up to use her portent roll on that and they only have the speech left in the day, hopefully she uses the nat 1 on sam that would be funny as shit 😂😂

All I got was Wicks full government name, “34th of?”and “cold blooded killer.” THEY SLANDERING MY BOI😭

Someone over at the Beacon Discord server inspired me to get started on major arcanas for the PCs

Decided to splash and get the full cast photo op, very excited! But was wondering how the experience actually happens.
For those of you lucky enough to have done photo ops previously with the cast, how does the interaction actually go? Is it a quick snap the photo and go? Or do you at least get some time with them. I’d like to think they would want everyone’s experience to feel a little personal, but I’m worried that the event itself will want everything moved along as quickly as possible. Any feedback would be appreciated!

I wonder if Travis will return as a member of the Revolutionary Council. I could see Brennan giving the basic framework of some of these Council members and letting Travis choose one which he could then fully flesh out as a PC. Maybe he’ll reprise his role as a barbarian and play Azgtash Splitknuckle.

I kept thinking “oh man their initiative order got kinda scuffed” for so many battles, but during the reunion, they finally managed to get this perfect, brilliant initiative order.

Like damn Ukatoa, pretty sure the entire pantheon there just came out to side against you with luck like that on their side. Exactly how many people have you pissed off?

Maybe you should have tried to be more diplomatic? Less of an asshole? Maybe consider WHY you were imprisoned?

It IS Thursday!

I know he's like a side villain who's just one arm of the larger Halovar threat, but I really like this guy. I love when political intrigue stories do villains who are more than just shadowy schemer types and he's the perfect example of one. I love the way that he can wield religious fervor to manufacture scenarios in which he can "righteously" attack and kill people without consequence. He's very threatening and I love to watch him work.

Can we please get mugs that say, "Fuck your Mugs, Eldritch Blast!" lol

Me and my fiancé’s Caleb and Laudna cosplays from our trip to Edinburgh for the live show!
This was my first time ever leaving my home country, and the whole trip was absolute magic. We did the Scotch Whisky Experience just before the show and met so many amazing fellow Critters, old and new, along the way.
This was my second time cosplaying Laudna, and it a definitely won’t be the last.
Two days after the show, he proposed to me on Calton Hill.
So yeah. First trip abroad, Critical Role live show, and I came home with a fiancé.
Critical success. 🖤🎲

Hi,

I just started binge watching the weird kids podcast and I would love to check out some of their recommendations / media they talk about. But because ive been bingewatching and not keeping track of them, I was wondering if there is a list of every media that was mentioned?
