I had a bunch of things I've written just be erased. Poof. Just gone. And I, very briefly, thought about giving up on storytelling. And then I remembered this line. I remembered this video. This edit. And I'm reminded that it's all worth it. All the stumbles and falls and resets and retries. It's all worth it.
I only got into Critical Role a little over a year ago. I had always wanted to but the 4 hour episodes just seemed too much of a time commitment and the first few years they were around I had a lot going on in my life. Weirdly the thing that got me to finally watch was Brennan Lee Mulligan. Mini clips of Dimension 20 started popping up in my UA-cam feed and he was so funny and charismatic. Then from watching those for a while the video of him, Matt, and Aabria talking about Calamity (I think or maybe it was a video on their DMing styles?) popped up and I watched all of that. Shortly after the first episode of Campaign 3 popped up in my recommends when I had some down time and I was like "What the heck. I'll give it a try." Instantly hooked and was happy to find out that the first season of Vox Machina also had recently come out. What a great group of people. I hope they create content for many more years.
(which, if it is unclear, is my twitter account. where I post videos like these that I'm happy to share but which do in fact take hours of my life to put together)
Thank you for distilling the essence, love and joy of not only storytelling, but the fundamental nature of the universe experiencing itself through the bonds of light and love we share with those who care deeply for one another.
Bruh, the clocktower broke me in this. I hadn't remembered that Taliesin had Percy talk about being a clockmaker when they first mentioned it in Campaign 3, and when I saw this and realized how Matt made sure to have that completed when the players returned Whitestone for Taliesin, I had to pause it to cry, lol. Which meant I stood no chance for the rest of it, especially Liam stopping Matt just to tell him how good he is at what he does as a storyteller
This is so beautifully put together. It really shows that above being a show and a job, they are friends hanging out, telling stories, and being together. I love it!
Started watching CR before C3 started. But one thing is for certain, we gotta enjoy all this while we can. One day they will stop and we will see the final, is it Thursday yet. Think that's very long ways as it feels like they're just getting started.
This made me tear up. I only started watching Critical Role a few months ago but the idea of them stopping doing this one day already makes me super sad. The intimate friendship and love this group has for one another is so refreshing and inspiring. I wish I'll have such a good support system in my life one day.
Whenever it ends, I only know it will be bittersweet, for the journey will have been magnificent. I also know It will be many years, as they are still loving every moment as much as they did at the start. But also, 'it' won't really end, will it? Even if after many seasons there wont be another, it doesn't mean they stop playing D&D, or that their friendship will be over. And Campaign 1, 2, 3, whatever comes next, these won't go away either. So i think it will be bittersweet because things will only feel complete, and nothing will *really* change
The fact this doesn't have millions of views is a complete tragedy. This video has had such an impact on me.This meant the world to me. Thank you.

What an excelent edit you've made here. Great work at weaving all those moments together.
As someone who has run dnd games for years now, this brings back so many timeless moments for me…..
hey! could you consider not posting other people's work? like you didn't even credit the account you stole this from?

You gotta be kidding me. Great video, very well done!
Nope. I am not crying. You are 🥰

This almost made me cry. I only started watching critical role a couple of months ago, but I’m already super attached to the cast ❤
