    Trott is a great DM Support. He takes the lead when everyone else is silent and passes ideas on to them, or just recuses himself from the action, which subtly tells everyone else it's *their* turn now, do something pls.

      Brett Symons oh Keyleth... I love her, but she was quite irrational at times. Beau is also great, and I’m thankfully she’s not as rash. I love Marisha, thanks for the insightful comment. That was something I didn’t really notice. Travis is also a great help as he makes sure others are listening as well as being quite attentive (even if Fjord can be fjorgetful at times)

      @@Badartist888 I feel like at the very beginning of CR Campaign 1, it was Taleisin that directed the group a bit, as he had ultimately the most tabletop experience there, besides Matt. Though, he did it in significantly more subtle ways.

    Rewatching on third of February 2018. Observations:
    1 - Since when was Mark’s hair so short?
    2 - Trott still has his Lego hair.
    3 - I didn’t even notice the change in Jiutou’s voice in later episodes.
    4 - Elora without Wildshape. She actually uses Shillelagh!
    5 - All of them seem so nervous about RPing on camera. Strange to see how far they’ve come.
    6 - I forgot how cool this starting dungeon was!
    7 - We never saw the end of that puzzle with the stars and the levers. :-(
    8 - It’s mad how big this has gotten! Tiny acorns, and all that...
    9 - Mark’s making small mistakes on the rules side of DMing, ones which he - and I - learned from.
    10 - This is conjuring up some great memories of watching the early episodes live in my room with some good food.
    Thank you all for starting this and seriously getting me into D&D. I wouldn’t have watched critical Role without this, I wouldn’t have started a campaign at high school without this, and I wouldn’t have met my first new friend at college without this. Thank you so much.

    Trott: "I'm Cam Buckland... I don't give a Fuckland!"
    Kim: "D...Does that normally work, do Humans find that funny?"
    Trott: "Yeah, it... it usually works..."
    ...LATER THAT GAME...
    Trott: "What's your name by the way?"
    Matt: "Trellimar"
    Trott: "Ah nice! I'm Cam Buckland" *Puts hand out*
    Matt: "I don't give a fuckland, Cam Buckland."
    Kim: *Big smile and laugh*
    I like to imagine that the Tiefling found it funny when the Drow said it back at him as well, not just that Kim's still laughing at it.

    this guy is an excellent DM. To be honest i haven't gotten to play an actual game yet myself, due to a lack of people who want to play with me. I have however watched many many streams and VODs of people playing, and so far this guy is the best i've seen. Somewhat adheres to the rules, while still being great at knowing when to let them slip for the fun factor, and also being quite descriptive, while not going overboard. Good at suggestion to keep the party moving, while not railroading them. He's even great at knowing when to shut up and let the party have fun with inter party interaction, and when to interject to keep them from spinning in circles. Well done mate, well done. Hands down my fave d&d VOD.

      I have to back Branden Leemings suggestion of Matt Mercer. Critical Role is one of the best DnD campaigns I've ever watched. It's a group of incredibly talented voice actors who have been playing a campaign for about 5 years now. They play every Thursday night at 7PM PST at twitch.tv/geekandsundry. Vods can be found on the Geek and Sundry website at geekandsundry.com/shows/critical-role/

      On other note I know this would be impossible, but I would have loved to see Scanlan and Obby interacting it would be hilarious and while we are at it Grog and Tarvis ( the really inteligent guy, babysiting the idiot, a sorta kraven edge situation) and Deva and Vex with Deva acumulating a ton of debt but puting it in Vex name and her having a small aneurism when the rest of the group forces her to pay because they need Deva for some reason or other.

  • @DamonFyrian
    @DamonFyrian 9 років тому +30

    Interesting. Kim and I have characters of the same race. (I play a Tiefling Warlock by the name of Eramanth, but his friends call him Eram.) And Critical Role is actually what sparked my interest in D&D.
    Side note: Technically, Jiutou could have simply cut through them (probably easier than how Cam did it), because Tieflings naturally have claws, courtesy of their demonic heritage.

    • @PurpleAlzir
      @PurpleAlzir 9 років тому +1

      +Damon Fyrian Looking at the handbook for 5e it doesn't appear Tieflings get anything related to having claws. Given I am sure a DM could adjust that for their own players.

    • @DamonFyrian
      @DamonFyrian 9 років тому

      PurpleAlzir It doesn't say in the handbook, it's in the flavor text for their race if you look up the race specifically (not to mention every Tiefling mini I've seen to date has had claws of some form or fashion).

    • @PurpleAlzir
      @PurpleAlzir 9 років тому +2

      Damon Fyrian I am going to assume Kim doesn't know about that since she is a new player and the handbook doesn't say stuff about it.

    • @DamonFyrian
      @DamonFyrian 9 років тому

      PurpleAlzir But she has two (possibly three, including the DM) veterans at the table. So she has help. It's ultimately up to her and the DM, though, because not *every* Tiefling has claws long enough to be usable.

    • @PurpleAlzir
      @PurpleAlzir 9 років тому

      Damon Fyrian That is another factor. Either way they got through the vines.

    This is what I wanted from the Yogsquests.

    Nothing beats the "I'll just set up a camp right away" moments from their dnd podcasts.

    • @2rueLIFE
      @2rueLIFE 9 років тому +34

      I'm glad they have this going now! I feel like Yogsquest is more of an ad lib comedy adventure movie in the sense that even though it's d&d you kinda know they'll succeed in the end, but that doesn't ruin the fact that there's a ton of hilarious improv from the characters that flows off of a d&d style roll based system. Yogsquests are more wild, while this was very gripping. Both are super awesome in my opinion! Two different approaches 😄

I was currently watching the Dice Camera Action: Curse of Strahd DnD campaign run by Chris Perkins (trying to fill the showhole left while I wait for the next ep of Critical Role to come out) when I stumbled onto this. Apparently the DM here made a guest appearance on On Dice Camera Action as a PC for an episode. Anyway, here we go! Great so far! :)

    On m first roll in the history of my dnd runs... I vomited on a wench. I cried and ran out of the tavern and beat up a homeless guy. He stole my pig and stabbed me.

      *Rolls 1*
      "You vomit on them. You have also have had a few kidney problems/internal injuries, so it's thick and black. It's horrible. And it smells."

      +Driad my friend was once playing dnd with a group before i started playing and they entered a temple (of evil cultists) in an attempt to save a nun. they ended up turning all the cultists into babies and through miscommunication, killed the nun.
      they began to leave thinking it couldn't get any worse when one tripped and activated a trap which killed all the baby cultists

    A comment on the "darkvision" or lack thereof, I always run without it as well. However, I give the Drow infrared vision; allowing them to see in complete darkness.

    • @benjaminwestrup1444
      @benjaminwestrup1444 9 років тому

      To tell the truth, I borrowed the idea from R.A. Salvatore's Legend of Drizzt prequels. And to be fair, it doesn't give them "normal" vision in utter and complete darkness. Since they're seeing in the infrared spectrum, it's impossible for them to perceive most distinguishing facial features, normal light spectrum colors, and creatures/people that have disguised their heat signature (practically applying the invisible status condition). It's a double edged sword, especially since they'll be blinded for a good while if they try to use it in any sort of bright light. That said, I like the idea of darkness being an active threat that all the players have to deal with.

    Trott... Kimmi... No Ross or Smiffy... :D
    On a side note, is Trott not the absolute master of dork charm?

      Could you imagin how whacky their D&D session would be with all of Hat Films involved?

    • @discordlexia2429
      @discordlexia2429 8 років тому +3

      RokuroCarisu Exactly. That's why I'm glad it's just Trott.
      I absolutely adore Trott, and I feel that the rest of Hat Films is keeping him down. But I respect that they're friends.
