Hi. I'm a new fan and I just don't get all these jokes about Will Wheaton. Could you please explain the history about Will and Critical Role? Thank you.
@@Ale_ssandro Old comment, so maybe you know this already, but just in case... The curse of Will Wheaton is not just with Critical Role... Will is a huge geek, and loves tabletop games in general. However the dice gods seems to hate him to an extreme level. He doesn't rolls exclusevly Nat-1s... His curse is far worse than that. If you watch any gaming show with him, you will see: he always rolls what is the worst in the given situation. Many people think that is some kind of exaggeration, and it seemed Matt was one of them, but Will was a guest player in the first campaign - and he proved that the curse is real :D
This single moment was payment for a certain Goliath getting three natural 20's in a row (canonically). A payment had to be made, and this was it. I'm certain of it.

@@Jthomas-gg9pi Except that one wasn't in the same session as the three nat 20s we're talking about. The poitn is that he had a string of three nat 20s, one right after the other in succession, in a single DnD session. A nat 20 he got in a totally different session is irrelevant.
@@ShaydeDragon12 there were two in search for grog then one in search for Bob. C1E115 canonically happened right before do in the timeline grog got 4 in a row
This is one of my favourite moments ever. I've never managed this but I did get a 1-20-1 in my first ever game. Got my warhammer stuck in the wall, got it out and killed the opponent behind me in one swing, then got the hammer stuck in the floor
Sounds like a Guts moment. In a sesh I had a couple days ago, I got a 20 to track a monster and the DM had it basically appear next to me, then I rolled a nat 1 to miss. Then I got a critical. Dice are weird sometimes.
@@GZilla311 Laura has a special vault in an undisclosed location where she keeps the worst of the worst dice. The only other people who know of its location are the people who go there to bless it and keep the evil contained from spreading to the rest of the world. There's a rumor that each one has something done to them in order to keep them from speaking of the location, but I can't verify the truth of that.
I've seen a D&D story about a Barbarian getting a Nat 1 to *literally throw his brain at a Marilith* (because he was going to die next turn anyway but his Diehard feat gave him one extra action) and then *rolls 3 consecutive Nat 20s to insta-kill the party's Psion* who was also in the "line of fire". Led to this exchange: *Psion:* "....You killed me." *Barbarian:* **nods** "With my brain." Talk about irony, huh? A *PSION* getting *killed* from *being hit by a brain* when the Psion *literally uses their mind/brain to fight*.
Once i saw 3 Nat 1's in a row followed immediately by 3 Nat 20's, same encounter, same player, all different dice. Single rolls too, no advantage or disadvantage either.
Anyone else notice that EVERYONE had an epic reaction to the third nat 1, EXCEPT SAM!? He had the same shit eating grin before Travis rolled as he did when everyone was reacting to the realization. Either he switched Travis's die with a weighted one, or he can use the Force and he couldn't resist the temptation.
HAd this thing happen to me. Was playing 40k back in 6th edition and i play World Eaters with Kharn the betrayer. His special rule is that he ALWAYS hits on 2+ in melee no matter the modifiers( before 8th Edition usually the best most models could hit was on 3+; Kharn was One of the very very few that could hit on 2+) ANd when he rolls 1's his Rule allowed him to reroll it, but if its again 1's, then he Hit one of the friendly models in range( So yeah Tehcnically Kharn ALWAYS hits something, even if it is your own models) He has 7 attacks( wich in 40k for a single model is a lot) i roll 4 1's... I reroll them...4 1's again... Everyone else and my adversary was dumbfounded at this, than started laughing, cause what else can you do honestly?... I really was not in a good mood that evening...
@@Mugthraka That's 40k for you. The best soldier in the galaxy, genetically and technologically brought to perfection, misses the broad side of a barn from 10ft away one in six times.
That's what happened to me, my rouge got enveloped by a shambling mound in a fight, and for her acrobatics save (Which she has expertise in may I add) she got 2 natural ones and went down. In which I threw 3 straight 5s in her death saves...first time I've had to suffer through a character death, and it was painful.
"Two shit throws in a row, can't get any fucking worse." That line reminded me of when Marisha said, last campaign as Keyleth when she dove off the fucking cliff, "It's fine. We're gods!" and Travis said "Why would you tempt that shit?" Well, Travis? WHY would you tempt that shit? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I feel your pain, Travis, I feel your pain. My group was facing off against a young black dragon and I rolled three natural 3's in a row, then a natural 2, and then to cap it all off, a natural 1
Sec Pendragon I don’t remember what exactly I rolled, but one time during a campaign, we were facing an army of I think undead dudes. I tried to cast Wall Of Fire to light em up, rolled wrong, and ended up setting two party members on fire instead(one of them died a little while later in the battle Oof).
@@Ourodracos I don't know about previous versions of D&D but Wall of Fire doesn't require a roll to hit you choose where to put it and can make one side of it do no damage and you only roll the damage for it if they start their turn next to the damage on the wrong side or walk into it.
2:26 "That's ridiculous!" Probably one of the few times (if ever) that Matt Mercer aka DM of Critical Role EVER broke character in sheer utter disbelief of Fjord's (Travis Willingham's) rotten luck.
I've also never heard Matt Mercer (voice actor of Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil and Levi Ackermann of the critically acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan) ever break character (as the DM of Critical Role) in such disbelief, he seemed really thrown back by Fjord's (A.K.A Travis Willingham, better known as the voice of Roy Mustang from Full Metal Alchemist and Knuckles from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise) bad luck, I mean 3 natural 1's in a row is quite something
I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but I love that Matthew decided to roleplay the prejudice of some people. When that woman was hit with the bag accidentally she at first kindly said it was fine, but Matt specified that she then looked up at Fjord and his facial reaction shows just how disgusted she was for a second and dragged her kid away. Not sure if anyone at the table caught that, it was a really good idea to remind them and us that half-orcs and other uncommon races face microaggressions still.
That's an interesting take I hadn't considered. I noticed the expression change, but I thought of it more like she pretended like getting hit by a sandbag was no big deal, but when she turned away, let the facade drop. I like yours more.
Two things: 1) The most lighthearted HYWTDT I've seen. 2) Would crazy fun if Matt made either Yasha or Jester roll to see if they actually got him in there and they did get a natural 20. Complete Looney Toons moment.
What about episode 100 of the first campaign where Grog also rolled 2 natural 1’s when he was trying to impress Scanlan. And Lionel had 2 natural 20’s.
OWWW! The worst I've ever gotten was failing to land a single hit on a battle with a young white dragon, and my BABY OWL GETTING THE KILLING BLOW WITH A NATURAL 20!!! LIKE....WHY?
The first time I saw this, I was half expecting(and totally hoping) that he would keep trying harder and keep hitting the same woman as she walked further and further away into the crowd lol
The worst I have ever had was when I played a Elf Assassin back in 3.5e, I rolled 5 Nat 1s while I was fighting some guards blocking my escape from a mansion I snuck into. After the 5th Nat 1 I just surrendered to the guards cause I knew escaping from a prison cell would be easier.
I mean, it happened to Grog when he fought the skeletons and got two natural ones, while the Bardbarian got 2 natural 20s. XD they may bed new characters, but the fails are magnificently on point!
I think that Matt was going to have Jester and Yasha do a strength throw because he looked like he was about to say something but Travis rolled and it could not have gone any better
Up until recently, I had no dice of my own so whenever my friends met to play I ended up using one of the many sets of the DM. What made me decide to get my own was when I ended up getting three nat 1's in a row with his dice. One of my group tried to cheer me up by showing me this video. It sort of worked.
Okay, but I'll one-up you. I once played a campaign as a town guard. Rolled so many natural 1's that I ended up not recognizing a thief, realizing he was hungry, then force fed him an entire orange, to which then I tried to CUT IT OUT because of a 1, then then I lost a gold piece in his stomach, and couldn't find the gold piece.
the dice gods have made it so that travis, almost fatefully, gets natural 20s when it would be most epic for him to do so (killing kevdak, killing vespin chloras, going first in the fight against uk’otoa, the double 20s in search for grog), and gets natural 1s when it would be most hilarious for him to do so. it’s like destiny
It hasn't been natural ones doing me in, but my paladin can't catch a break. He keeps failing all of his saving throws. In the last three fights, he's been blinded the entire time twice, and in the most recent one, he was slowed, then knocked out completely in one shot, was woken up by a friend's wayward eldritch blast, and was then paralyzed. This happened in four turns.
One of the new players (her first session) in my latest game rolled four nat 1's in a row, pandemonium ensued. What made it even funnier is she was playing a halfling rogue with lucky, and so her two re-rerolls on nat 1's didn't save her. 10/10 DnD best game.
“Two shit throws in a row, can’t get any fucking worse.” Why would you ever say something like that lmao? That’s a sure fire way to make sure it does get worse, nothing good could’ve possibly come from that haha
One of my first rolls in a session one. Rolled NAT 1 to climb a ladder. Caught by party, tied off with role. Roll with adv to climb ladder. Double NAT 1. My character is now deathly afraid of ladders
Reminds me of the time I rolled 3 nat 1s (not in succession) for my -1 persuasion. It became a running joke in my campaign that I’ll forever roll 0s for persuasion lol
watching this after i threw two nat 1's in a row yesterday trying to check how deep a river was only to later have a clutch nat 20 while fighting some giant spiders was my second-ever time playing D&D
For those who don't know always always buy nice clear dice in person. This way you can look through them for bubbles. Bubbles mean unbalanced rolls. Opaque dice can be made much cheaper because they don't have to worry about it, you cant see how shit they are inside unless you break an unlucky one apart. You can also add salt to water till the d20 float and give them a slight spin, [one at a time] if it keeps stopping with the same couple numbers facing up it's a shit dice
Have never seen or had 3 Nat 1’s, but my craziest dice moment ever was with 20s. A group of 4 of us were playing when the DM launched a trap or something that had us all make a Dex Save in order of initiative. We all 4 rolled a natural 20. We looked it up and the odds of that are 1 in 100,000 or something like and we actually took a 5 minute break to just freak out over it and grab new food/drink.
I wish the games I ran were like this. Listening to the DM, people roleplaying and interacting with each other, and not interrupting the DM when they're in the middle of talking.
Started DMing a new campaign a few days ago, almost all commpletely new players. One of them rolled for his first three rolls ever a 1, a 10 and a 20. Told him he can pack his things, that was the full experience right there.
"Aha I didn't need that disadvantage any-ahh thats a natural 1"
of course he didn't....
The tone of voice had it even better.
_Let me try It on my own first, for dignity sake_
@@turinmormegil7715 how to doom yourself every time. ;)
“Two shit throws in a row, it can’t get any fucking worse!” - Travis basically jinxed himself when he said that!
"two bad throws, can't get any worse."
*throws a 3rd 1*
*facepalm*
best reaction
Joshua Knick "Can't get any worse"...Why would he even tempt that shit...? ;-)
if you listen closely you can hear the dice gods "I bet I can make it worse"
Fjord: It can’t get any worse.
Dice Gods: Hold my beer...
This is even better when you realize that Molly roles a natural twenty trying to do the same thing almost immediately after this

Richard Warner I guess; ive never actually heard about the story before, so thanks for letting me know it exists lol!
Not surprising, their hazmat procedures with that die were a joke.
The demon spirit inside chose another...
They released the evil within and it briefly latched onto Travis' dice until they exorcised them off-screen after the show.
The Wheaton is strong in this one!
I've seen this raw strength only once before. It didn't scare me enough then. It does now.
Matt’s expression of shock and glee is my absolute favorite part of this. 😂

The role of Wheaton will be played by Travis tonight. Watch and marvel at how he rolls three natural 1's in a row.

I think he was going to give Travis Adv. on that last throw, but because he rolled a nat 1, Matt said 'screw it...this is way better'.
Up until recently, I had no dice of my own so whenever my friends met to play I ended up using one of the many sets of the DM. What made me decide to get my own was when I ended up getting three nat 1's in a row with his dice. One of my group tried to cheer me up by showing me this video. It sort of worked.
“Two crap throws in a row, Can’t get any worse!”
Dice- *oh but it Can, and it will”
Okay, but I'll one-up you. I once played a campaign as a town guard. Rolled so many natural 1's that I ended up not recognizing a thief, realizing he was hungry, then force fed him an entire orange, to which then I tried to CUT IT OUT because of a 1, then then I lost a gold piece in his stomach, and couldn't find the gold piece.

the dice gods have made it so that travis, almost fatefully, gets natural 20s when it would be most epic for him to do so (killing kevdak, killing vespin chloras, going first in the fight against uk’otoa, the double 20s in search for grog), and gets natural 1s when it would be most hilarious for him to do so. it’s like destiny
Liam's reaction to the third roll is the absolute best!
The odds are 1 in 8000 that three of the same number are rolled consecutively on a 1d20.
I have newfound empathy for Travis after doing this myself. In combat. Without disadvantage.
There was a 1 in 8000 chance of that happening. It took some real luck to be that unlucky.
2:18 PERFECT reactions all around.
Will Wheaton is so proud

It hasn't been natural ones doing me in, but my paladin can't catch a break. He keeps failing all of his saving throws. In the last three fights, he's been blinded the entire time twice, and in the most recent one, he was slowed, then knocked out completely in one shot, was woken up by a friend's wayward eldritch blast, and was then paralyzed. This happened in four turns.
"You need to put that shit in jaaaaailll"
What makes this even better is Molly *immediately* getting a 19 on his first try
One of the new players (her first session) in my latest game rolled four nat 1's in a row, pandemonium ensued. What made it even funnier is she was playing a halfling rogue with lucky, and so her two re-rerolls on nat 1's didn't save her. 10/10 DnD best game.
When Matt asks Jester and Yasha how do you want to do this 😂
Was Wil Wheaton on set that day ?? lolz
Can I get context?
“Two shit throws in a row, can’t get any fucking worse.” Why would you ever say something like that lmao? That’s a sure fire way to make sure it does get worse, nothing good could’ve possibly come from that haha
One of my first rolls in a session one. Rolled NAT 1 to climb a ladder. Caught by party, tied off with role. Roll with adv to climb ladder. Double NAT 1. My character is now deathly afraid of ladders
Reminds me of the time I rolled 3 nat 1s (not in succession) for my -1 persuasion.
It became a running joke in my campaign that I’ll forever roll 0s for persuasion lol
I need a compilation of taliesan’s laugh. It kills me everytime
watching this after i threw two nat 1's in a row yesterday trying to check how deep a river was only to later have a clutch nat 20 while fighting some giant spiders
was my second-ever time playing D&D
Now that I've actually started watching Critical Role, that HDYWTDT hits different.
The more I watch this, the more I realize that if this had been 3.5, he technically would've instantly qualified for the Unlucky Feat.
For those who don't know always always buy nice clear dice in person. This way you can look through them for bubbles. Bubbles mean unbalanced rolls. Opaque dice can be made much cheaper because they don't have to worry about it, you cant see how shit they are inside unless you break an unlucky one apart. You can also add salt to water till the d20 float and give them a slight spin, [one at a time] if it keeps stopping with the same couple numbers facing up it's a shit dice
Taliesin has the power to roll well consistently
Travis has the power to make the perfect roll for any situation
My brother recently rolled three d20s at the same time, to represent three different attacks. They were all natural 1s.
Now that is impressive.
eventually this hilarious bad luck will come back the other way as 3 natural 20s for fjord, and it'll be hilarious
He got the 2 Nat 20's at the end of search for Grog and got the kill, so it evens out
Have never seen or had 3 Nat 1’s, but my craziest dice moment ever was with 20s.
A group of 4 of us were playing when the DM launched a trap or something that had us all make a Dex Save in order of initiative.
We all 4 rolled a natural 20.
We looked it up and the odds of that are 1 in 100,000 or something like and we actually took a 5 minute break to just freak out over it and grab new food/drink.
I wish the games I ran were like this. Listening to the DM, people roleplaying and interacting with each other, and not interrupting the DM when they're in the middle of talking.
Started DMing a new campaign a few days ago, almost all commpletely new players. One of them rolled for his first three rolls ever a 1, a 10 and a 20. Told him he can pack his things, that was the full experience right there.
