#mostly i think its because bells hells just had no relationship to the gods at all. they were totally neutral the whole time#except for fcg and braius and i really have to give respect to sam for picking up on the themes and doing his best (via gorgynei)
unfortunately matt that did not come across how you intended. i wish it did!!!! because that sounds interesting. but c3 just came across as if everyone in the world had suddenly forgotten half the history established in the prior campaigns, rather than people realizing they didnt know the full truth
#Critical Role#video#CR Cast#CR 3#CR Cooldown#Beacon TV#cr discourse#yeah. i mean.#i do think that that's what matt was GOING for#but when the entire almost 1000 hours of previous campaigns#and the several sourcebooks that are like 50ish dollars each#all say that the gods are good and all of the information in them is taken in good faith and assumed to be factual#just to be told ''actually all of that was biased and written by the victors etc etc'' it just kind of feels like#why the fuck did we put all that time and energy and money into the previous storytelling then?#not to compare to another AP series#and especially not one as niche as Venture Maidens is#but the first Venture Maidens campaign introduced the gods early on as seemingly benevolent forces#introduced characters not too long after that who opposed/disagreed with the gods#and explored both perspectives and kept it somewhat grey throughout the entirety of the campaign#which i loved! it actually worked the way that the DM had intended!#if the CR gods had been introduced as selfish or cruel or colonizers or what the fuck ever from the get-go that would be one thing#but bringing that in THIS LATE in the game is just. a bad choice.

this is a joke but this tiny text so perfectly captures the vibes of fine print in some real commercials and… uh… so how are you doing?

This perfectly sums up the energy of Critical Role.
Moments before Cryptid Producer Max ran in front of them to get out of the shot, Liam barely pushed away a chair, they crashed into the end of the hallway, and the camera operator gently kicked a "caution slippery floor" cone into them.

In e105 Cooldown, Robbie and Matt have some back and forth about Dorian's new sword and abilities, prompting the below background exchange that happens around full unrelated sentences from Taliesin, nevertheless faithfully captured by the closed captions & pieced back together here:

CR's BEACON and a bit about it
So of course I had to get in on this because I'm all for discounts and early access and NOT giving money to Twitch and YT if I can help it.
And yes, the site is getting SLAMMED at the moment, but I've now managed to get in, and it's working great.
Couple notes:
If you have the same email address for the CR shop and for Beacon, once your Beacon account is created, it auto-applies the discount to the shop. You will see the price crossed out and a discounted price next to the item (limitations do apply, they go over that).
I gather there is some wonkiness going on with the Discord, so I'd suggest waiting a day or so on that one.
Cooldown (the immediate after-show filming) IS WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD. Listening to them conspiracy theorizing and Matt answering a couple things (or in more cases, "You don't know!") is just great to watch.
Yes, there is subtitles/captioning, and it looks like it's done by the same folks they have doing the main eps.
Re-Slayer's Take is *NOT* the main cast -- it is run and played by other people. I gather this is in a similar vein to Midst, but them allowing other groups to "play" in Exandria. It is also all-ages-friendly.
There is an app in the Apple store and Android store -- IT IS CALLED POCKET BEACON. HOW FUNNY IS THAT?!
http://beacon.tv
UPDATE: I've seen a couple of Twitter posts about the app possibly being geolocked -- cannot confirm or deny as I live in the United States and thus cannot check (and am reluctant to dick around with my phone).
UPDATE: Someone brought up in the replies that captioning/subtitling is not yet on everything, and in a couple cases, it's a bit wonky. Again, hopefully to be straightened out sooner than later.
UPDATE: Someone else in the replies wondered about whether coming in on a live broadcast late means you can still start from the beginning or not.. IF SOMEONE CAN CONFIRM OR DENY THIS WITH TONIGHT'S BROADCAST, DROP ME AN ASK AND LEMME KNOW, PLEASE!
I'll add more to this post as I encounter things!
STILL MORE UPDATES!
you can join late and start at the beginning, it looks like they upload the whole episode rather than doing a live broadcast.
however, it DOES NOT have subtitles, though the speed and quality can be adjusted.
there is also no break material, just a quick fade in and fade out.
also no ads
AND STILL MORE UPDATES!
In a rare non-Apple access win, can confirm that Pocket Beacon does not appear to be geolocked for Android, at least here in Australia!
EVEN MORE UPDATES!
Re: captioning, 4-Sided Dive does not appear to be captioned/subtitled (yet).
THE UPDATES KEEP ON COMING!
The Android version does appear to support Chromecast

the conflict, the drama, the angst, catch it all next time on CR
#caution: this meme was made with little context and is only for the humourment of the fandom#bc it honestly makes sense for dorian to be super critical of the gods#but also - orym has made it REAL clear what side he's on regardless of downfall#and he has had this debate probably 30 times since cr3 began#critical role#critical role spoilers#cr spoilers#cr shitpost#cr memes#critical role memes#bells hells#dorian storm#orym of the air ashari#cr fcg#ludinus da'leth#derrig of the air ashari#will of the air ashari#cr cooldown#beacon tv#beacon spoilers

I really hope Brennan comes in to take a swing at Narrative Telephone... I feel like he would break the game both as the lead storyteller and as a listener.

LeVar Burton did the lower register voice work for Undead Thordak. It was originally supposed to be Lance Reddick. After Lance passed away, his wife specifically requested LeVar finished the work.
(Per the The Legend Of Vox Machina Final Roundtable for S3 E7-12)

Robbie Daymond reports that Orym is Dorian's first love but Chetney was NOT Dorian's first kiss (sorry Chetney).
