@@szylaj You missed the inside joke, my friend. "Great Old One" is DnD's nice way of rephrasing "Elder God," like Cthulhu; an Eldritch Terror of unfathomable proportions. It's a popularized fan conspiracy theory that Taliesin Jaffe is as old as the universe itself, and that he made a human form to simply walk among us.
@@szylaj Essentially. As such he has supernatural abilities that he still uses on a whim, but he takes more joy in being kind and wise "for the time being," and uses them responsibly. It's believed that he can will dice to roll Natural 20's on a whim, as he did for Liam while they were on Darktow after a (spoiler free) long day; that when he snaps his fingers during a live show an audience member gets pregnant; and that for every tear that is shed in his presence he gains another 10 years of life. The first one is an actual event, the other two are rumors born from the legends.
Gotta love anyone who actually talks to their fans over the typical pleasantries. Even if the line moves slower, everyone is leaving with better memories.
I waited 4 hours in a line of about 30 people just to get an autograph once, I'm not sure that's worth it but at least Nolan North was nice. Gave a handshake, spoke for about 2 minutes, but I still don't think I'd wait that long haha still awesome that they really try to talk to their fans.
I had no idea who Taliesin Jaffe was before Critical Role, but now I wish I did. He looks like one of the nicest people in the world. I hope to meet him someday along w/ the rest of the cast.
If I ever met Taliesen Axelrod Jaffe I would cry. Molly and Caduceus have both been really important characters to me, because they both represent the person I am trying to become. I aspire to have the confidence and Joy of Molly, the wisdom and gentleness of Cad, and the kindness they both share. I am constantly inspired.
I totally agree!😍 Just a note, Tal has 2 middle names (as beings who've been around since the dawn of time tend to have) it's actually Taliesin Axelrod Armstrong Jaffe 😁
I absolutely agree. Molly and Cad are inspiriting to me as characters. I actually have the outline of a tattoo done, still need to do my second session for shading and color. Of a tarot card with Molly and Cad (and there are hidden dicks as if Jester had been the artist). I got it like right before ep 111 came out
@@jeniennefalor8136 that's interesting. I guess to me, they were a deeply sad and lonely character, who chose to find joy anyway and put on a beautiful face. Which means much more to me and I relate too a lot more than a character who is naturally filled with joy and confidence
Because they're just like us, and became famous doing something we all like doing (playing DnD). Their arguably most professional trait is that they're voice actors, which doesn't make one famous as much and in the same way as other kinds of professions and whatnot. They're just very cool people, most of which were notorious for voice acting, which decided to broadcast something we all like and do but with their own professionalism, but still being totally themselves as DnD is a social game first and foremost. TL;DR: It's hard not being awesome and nice when your fame comes from being a voice actor who streams dnd! It truly is the coolest combo.

All my firearm ediqute was practically screaming at me the moment he looked down the prop barrel of animus, because when you take a firearm course (where I live at least) you're taught to treat and assume all firearms, loaded, and props included are live. Absolutely lovely cosplay and props, you guys did an amazing job
bearripper just answering to avoid panic or rumors: he has tremor. He also takes medications for it but not always, that’s why you may or may have not noticed it already. Nothing degenerative like Parkinson’s if that’s why you were asking! Even in its more “benign” forms, when it doesn’t impact daily life, it is still a nuisance to say the least!
The bloke signing the gun played the character closest to the camera (Percy) in a really popular dungeons and dragons game called Critical Role which they play live on twitch every thursday and the girl with the long black hair is playing an NPC which was involved with the plot to kill Percys family and usurp his entire estate. Now you know.
Dr Anna Ripley, a villain from Critical Role who was the rival to his character Percy (Live DnD show if you're completely out of the loop) who was being cosplayed by the other lady.
If you're into D&D/nerd culture/goth culture, you should definitely seek out some more Taliesin Jaffe! Check out Critical Role (the community this video is from)
tldr: of the 2 people in cosplay, one is cosplaying the man sitting down's character percy (white wig) from an rpg show, while the other (brown wig) is cosplaying percy's nemesis dr. ripley. they're giving the man sitting down replicas of percy and ripley's weapons to sign
1:09 you can see the precise moment Taliesin remembers he should sign his name in English and not in ancient Sumerian or hieroglyphics

LMAOOO
Taliesin is such a wonderful human being
What are you talking about Tailesins not human
Elder god*
@@witchytwink9048 He is kind enough to take on a form our feeble human minds can comprehend

If I were to ever meet Taliesin Jaffe at a convention, I want to say this:
“I must say, you were the one I was most looking forward to.”
Well, the whole crew is gonna be at NYCC now. Whomever I can meet I'll be happy!

What's hilarious to me is that he was in one of my favorite movies when I was a kid and now he's on one of my favorite podcast-style shows.
i was afraid that he was going to sign animus. Dont want your name on that gun.
Or maybe you do ;)
Wait
No, you don't
I think he knew better than to sign that one
At least it wasn't on The List this time

“Oh that’s an ex??”
“Oh no it’s uhmm...”

"a low concentration of pikes" -Talesin jaffe 2018
As someone who cosplayed Scanlan at my local ComicCon, I can confirm there was a low concentration of Pikes there too.
I'm a bit sad that Taliesin was saying something and since they were still talking he just dropped it he says "Actually I based-" and then just dropped it :C
xWinterWolfx7 Yeah, he asked me not to release that part because it was private information.

He seems so lovely. The high-five of the 'still good friends with our exes club' is delightful.
its this kind of interaction that makes you proud to be a a part of the crit role community. thanks Tal.
I like how just all the communities stick together and just make nice things
I've never been able to meet any of the CR cast, and likely never will, but I'm completely convinced they are some of the most wonderful people on the planet.
This getting recommended a year after it was posted is a shame!
Always remember to look down the barrel, gotta make sure to check that it works!
How else would you check if there's a musketball in there?
*barrels
It would be a blessing to even meet Taliesin-so lucky!
Lol Tal’s high five at the end there for ‘oh you dated that Pike cosplayer, good job’
this is so pure to watch, why is this so wholesome?
also those costumes and props were awesome.
He is a delight! We met him recently at C2E2 and he was so fun to talk to!
Idk why but I was so invested in the person in purple opening that container. I was cheering
I was too man. .... I am literally the person in this video. I watched this and went, “Wtf self why are you perpetually so incompetent at opening things my fucking god.”
Sarah Goldberg HAHA I hope you got it open in the end!!!
Why is this comment thread so funny
twowingedmoon The sad thing is I legitimately don’t remember if I did. This was almost two years ago. The world will never know.
@@sarahgoldberg6994 tragic.
I actually met his once at New York Comic Con. He blessed my Blood Hunter. Sweetest person on the planet.
Damn, I remember that year. I knew shit about Critical Role, no Vox Machina on Amazon yet, etc.
Thank you for sharing this....it was beautiful .
The awkward unsure feeling he had about complimenting the exs cosplay, I feel that'd be the same with me in his shoes lol.
I can't imagine how flattered I would be if someone cosplayed a character I made. I bet that made his day.
this man is too wholesome i cannot
Damn, I got nervous and anxious just by watching it. Taliesin is amazing and I'd die if I saw him face to face.
Worry not, he rarely displays his true form
they are so nice to their fans and down to earth. just wonderful :)
"Alot of Pikes there." After action battle report from that one time our Scottish Commander won against a predominantly calvary and foot army.
"This is so pleasing"
He's just the absolute best, he's on my to meet list. Also you guys looked badass🤘
I gotta meet these guys someday.
He was so very kind.
Okay both your little dance before meeting Taliesin IS THE CUTEST

Cool it's the Marriott. I recognize that carpet anywhere
This is so awesome~
So wholesome!
Very sweet interaction ^^
Ripley was one, if not the , best antagonist of campaign one and Taliesin is a snack.
quick question: Is Taliesin the nicest Gentleman in the world?
Taliesin is our Eldritch lord and anyone who says otherwise is lying
I'd be wary of having my name on one of Percy's guns.... lol
WAY too good to be so far down here!
This makes me so happy
Taliesin Jaffe sparks joy ^_^
I wish Taliesin would com to Lexington Comic Con
I can’t believe they survived His Great Evilness
