Critical Role

Today we are sharing a post about Critical Role again! Last year we shared a post that revolved around their first campaign and this time we are talking about Campaign two! We will introduce all the two characters and talk a little about them so far. You will also notice all the links have changed! They are now producing their own shows on their own twitch channel! 

Dungeons and Dragons has been around for some time now and used to be enjoyed in the 80s and had somewhat faded away from popularity. Granted some still enjoyed it but it wasn't in its prime anymore and very rarely did you hear of anything new and exciting coming from the world of D and D (or DnD).

That was true until a few years ago when Dungeons and Dragons got a new breath of life. People around the world have quickly taken an interest in Dungeons and Dragons again, all thanks to a group of "Nerdy-ass Voice Actors" and their show, Critical Role.

The cast of Critical Role gather every Thursday night on Geek and Sundry's Twitch channel and their own Twitch Channel CriticalRole to play out their weekly installments. The group of friends started by playing Pathfinder (a different role-playing game similar to Dungeons and Dragons), and was approached by Geek and Sundry to make it a weekly thing on their Twitch Channel. The amazing cast has put in countless of hours of work to make Critical Role truly shine, including making an intro video for their show and creating a video to better explain their adventures pre-stream (before they brought their game to the internet).  

The cast is a group of friends including Matthew Mercer as Dungeon Master (DM), his wife Marisha Ray as Beauregard a Human Monk. Liam O'Brien as a Human Wizard named Caleb Widogast who travels with a Rogue Goblin named Nott (the brave - no comma) played by Sam Riegel. Laura Bailey plays Jester a Tiefling Cleric and her husband Travis Willingham plays a Warlock Half-Orc named Fjord, they take a small time off during the course of the campaign to welcome their first born child.  There is also Ashley Johnson, who plays an Aasimar Barbarian named Yasha Nydoorin she and Mollymauk  Tealeaf, a Blood Hunter Tiefling played by Taliesin Jaffe joined the group after being members of a traveling circus. 

The group forms something magical and the chemistry is something you can't help but love. Whether you love DnD or have never played a day in your life. Critical Role is much more than just a game, its entertainment, its a story and it is great fun to watch. The stories told and the adventure you get taken on is truly a work of Art.
