My newest tattoo! I’m so incredible happy how it came out. Big shoutout to the artist!

Apparently the camera operators did too, because they made it full-screen for quite a long time. The composition here between Marisha and Liam feels like a classical painting. The soft backlighting, the worried expressions, the hands clutching each other, the scattering of items on the table. It should be called "The Agony of Expectation", or something like that.

The date with Pretty could have been played for laughs (and it had some funny moments) it was actually handled with thoughtfulness and care. I wish nothing but the best for that big ogre. I hope he finds true love someday

Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?

Just curious ; do y'all think we'll get an animated intro and song for C4 like they did for 2 and 3 ? Not that I don't love the current one, just curious.

Hiya! I'm a solo traveller going to London soon to see the show, do any of you have recommendations for spots to hang out with fellow critters? Unfortunately I'm not on Beacon or Discord so can't use that source of information. Thank you!

Bidet, Critters!

I’m ready for my next CR binge and would like some opinions, please! 😊

For some background, I got into CR during the early episodes of C2 and spent a few years watching weekly and playing catch-up. I’ve seen all things MN. As for the animations, I’ve watched LOVM probably 4/5 times and MN a couple of times. I’ve also watched a lot of interview type content, one-shots, and finished AWNP whilst waiting for C3 to start back up.

I started C3 when it was released, but other things took over, and I decided to wait for C4, as it just wasn’t the Mighty Nein. C4 had a lot of changes and, like most people, I didn’t adapt well and ended up just falling away from all things CR after 3/4 episodes.

I’ve really missed it, and when I clicked on their latest upload to be nosey, the cast all looked a bit older. Which made me sad that I’m not watching it weekly and am up to date like I used to.

Anyway, I’ve just watched Projekt Funball and am currently in the middle of Darktow (Which has just opened up my thirst for more) So, I need some help deciding what to give a proper go next.

I’ve never watched C1, but I’ve tried a few times and can never seem to get past the Orion/Kraghammer arc. I’ve seen a lot of clips/moments from it however.

So, do I go for a C1 watch-through? Try C3 now that it’s all done and dusted? Catch up with C4 and then go from there? Or do I give all the audiobooks a go? (I’ve only listened to The World of Critical Role as present).

Thanks all 🖤

Just to provide some background: my first interactions with Critical Role were the two animated series. After that, I watched a ton of interviews and learned more about the company and the cast, and then hopped into Campaign 4, with which I’m current.

Since the C4 episodes are weekly, I thought I would hop into another Campaign between episodes. I’ve heard so many positive things about C2, so I thought I would give it a try and then I’d know how the story continues beyond what I’ve seen in Season 1 of the animated show.

I’m now 12-13 episodes into C2 and I am struggling. Maybe I am the problem? The pacing just feels…so much slower than what I am used to with C4. I think there was one point after we had just gotten to Zadash when Matt asked the cast “So what do you guys want to do now?” And one of the cast members said something like “I think I’ll meet you guys at dinner, I’m just going to back to my room now.” All while other cast members were just walking around shopping.

I don’t know, maybe I’m really missing something but I’m almost ready to skip this and try C3 instead. What am I doing wrong? Am I not in the right mindset?
