[critical role] So. I’m interested in this but. I can’t get into the actual role playing game part. I try to watch it and I just get lost. Is the show they made a decent alternative?
ѕαмѕα
it was really good, yeah
ѕαмѕα
it doesn't cover the first couple of arcs of the webshow but aside from introducing a few core NPCs (which the show does anyway) you don't really need to have seen the kraghammer/vasselheim arcs
Jack Raid
I see
ѕαмѕα
Legend def does things in a way where you can just jump into the show and not feel lost
Jack Raid
That’s good
Jack Raid
I’ll try to find an opening for it
ѕαмѕα
i will warn you the first season ends on. A Cliffhanger. a really good cliffhanger but. yeah.
ѕαмѕα
we know we're getting more we just don't know when so. there will be suffering 
Jack Raid
Oh boy
Odd-Eyes
yeeeep

i will say the first season/first few episodes do suffer a bit of pacing issues but you have to remember they're cramming like...MONTHS worth of content into very short episodes
ѕαмѕα
yeah
ѕαмѕα
the first three episodes get it the worst but they're still really good imo
ѕαмѕα
like you can tell that they were really eager to get to the Briarwood arc lmao
ѕαмѕα
(which, no judgement, it's SUCH a good arc)
Jack Raid
So it’s like early FMA Brotherhood episodes
ѕαмѕα
YEAH
ѕαмѕα
that's a good way to look at it
ѕαмѕα
they're definitely dedicated to keeping iconic scenes and lines from the show so you won't be missing any of the BIG SHIT folks talk about
🦴 ¢σσкє∂ вσηєѕ
yeah exactly
🦴 ¢σσкє∂ вσηєѕ
also i don't think i watched all of season 1 iirc so I'd be more than happy with a group watch or something some time
ѕαмѕα
also if you need any more incentive to watch the show
ѕαмѕα
Grey DeLisle is in full fucking form playing one of the big bads of the season
ѕαмѕα
a remorselessly evil, cunning necromancer..... 
the character is PEAK Grey and literally NOBODY was surprised when it was revealed that she was cast as that character

Odd-Eyes
thats a good way to pu tit, yeah
Odd-Eyes
and ooh actually a group watch sounds fun..
🦴 ¢σσкє∂ вσηєѕ
ѕαмѕα
: I WAS SO HAPPY THEY CHOSE GREY TO VOICE REDACTED I LITERALLY YELLED
🦴 ¢σσкє∂ вσηєѕ
also when my friends watched we played the game "spot the Mercer" and tried to see who was/wasn't voiced by matt
ѕαмѕα
i knew 100 percent she'd be in the show, i just didn't know if she'd be THAT character or [redacted] from the next arc
Odd-Eyes
oh yell heah
Odd-Eyes
bAHFDLSKJ spot the mercer is fun
🦴 ¢σσкє∂ вσηєѕ
ѕαмѕα
: oh my god either or would have been exquisite
ѕαмѕα
RIGHT
🦴 ¢σσкє∂ вσηєѕ
LITERALLY BOTH HAVE SUCH IMMENSE GREY ENERGY SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT FOR EITHER ROLE
🦴 ¢σσкє∂ вσηєѕ
although i am very happy they got her for THAT one because [redacted] plays such an immense part in the story
Mega
as someone who watched w/o knowledge of the web show, I really enjoyed it!
Mega
it's just so great to finally have more story-driven adult animation
