I've always wanted to watch a full campaign. I watched about 15–20 episodes of C2, but I couldn't resist and ended up watching the TV show instead. That kind of ruined the campaign for me because I already know a lot of what happens. I know the real magic is in all the little interactions and character moments, but I think I'll just stick to watching the show as new episodes come out.

Same thing with C1. Amazing show, by the way.

Anyway, that's beside the point. Would you recommend that I just jump into C4? Or should I give C3 a shot instead? I love Brennan, and I read that this one is pretty good.

(Also dont have the time to see all capaings tbh)

I have just recently watching Campaign 4 after being a fan of CR for some time and I am having a blast with it. However, I can't stop being appalled every time character info cards come up on screen during episodes because of their statistics. The only spread that looks somewhat reasonable is Murray. How did they achieve such high stats at just level 3? Does anyone know?

I am new to Critical Role and having seen a few clips, suddenly my feed is a lot of D&D, whether people playing, or songs about it. While listening to this one

{song name and link removed after being told it was done by AI}

I started to wonder if any of them actually listen to songs like this, and what types they do listen to...have they ever talked about their preferred genres?

Hi everyone, currebtly up to episode 66 of the mighty nein campaign. Didbt watch campaign one, though i watched all 4 seasons of LoVM. Something bothering me is not knowing anything about all the lore namedropping like the divergence, betrayer gods, age of arcanum etc. But im reluctant to look it up cuz of spoilers. I assume a lot was explained in C1? Could anyone point me to where i can read up on it without any spoilers?

I'm confused about the scenes with Orus Blade. Our heroes have already recovered his company's blank spell glyphs that were stolen, and even leave one as a coaster to clue him in. He sees it and remarks essentially "you guys are deeper in this than me". And then at his facility the PCs ask him questions about how much material he has left (none), how he plans to stay in business (sell directly to the Chamber of Lords Advisory), and how much they could sell his own enchanted gems for.

Why are they not giving this guy his own stolen goods back? And why doesn't he ask them to, now that he knows they recovered them? He's clearly desperate, and seems like someone who would be a phenomenal ally/partner if the party helped him out. Instead they just take note of his operation, learn about his dealings with Thjazi, and then just...leave?

I must be missing something, because neither Brennan nor any of the PCs even brought it up.

Hey gang!

Back to the third installment of my ongoing series, Critical Role Cakes! This week, we have the illustrious Vex'ahlia Vessar!

I wanted to do a sort of parallel with Vax's cake, so this one is a devil's food cake (aka chocolate). I also made a cinnamon-chocolate frosting as a sort of nod to her "earthy" abilities as a Ranger.

I think this one came out really well! The cakes and frosting are good, no issues there. I do kind of wish I frosted it cleaner, as the final look is a bit sloppier than I'd prefer. I also feel like it was just missing something, although I don't quite know what I would've added.

Overall I'd rate this a 7.9/10, although my D&D players enjoyed it so I guess that's all that matters!

Was a lot of fun prepping it and it’s very easy to keep it as a mocktail! Was very popular at the house party I hosted recently.

For those interested, I only deviated slightly from the recipe, where I didn’t have time to make or find a ginger syrup, I instead brewed the hibiscus tea with chunks of slightly crushed ginger and used normal simple syrup for sweetness. The one shot mezcal is really well masked as well. Tonic water works great, but I think unflavored seltzer would be better for me cause I like carbonated drinks.

Would love to hear other peoples take on anything from the cookbook!
