Sam: "Would we have to change the name of the SHITS to something else?" Travis: "NO DEAL!"

I genuinely want to see you in a Shakespearean play.

Every saga has a beginning...

I love this chaos! No matter how fancy the production gets, CR boils down to this...a bunch of friends playing a game together! Their friendship is the core of their success and why we love watching these nerdy ass voice actors play Dungeons and Dragons ("WE PLAY DUNGEONS AND DRAAAGGOOOONS!").

It's amazing to consider they had already been playing together for nearly 3 years when they started the show, the group really started in early 2013...

Who is the bald dude?

On a spectrum of game vs interactive story, they’re way to one side

After all this years they have the same energy and passion

I miss the days of playing with my friends for hours at a time... you guys are awesome.

I love it! :D

well these people haven't changed lmaoo

I've only ever seen the short clips of the home game before, being able to see a longer section and see that the cameras didn't really change much. Yes people are watching now, but they're still busting out random songs, can't stick to a plan to save their lives (who can in dnd?) and are just being goofballs. People always say that they'd still be doing what they were doing even if no one was watching, and I totally believe they'd still be doing it even if the show didn't take off.

I know this is like the origin of Critical Role, but I really hope Liam and the rest of the group never forget this.

Oh wow. Didn’t realize “eyes” was a thing during pre-stream! C-ya:-j

Looking at it, you really controlled yourselves on these streams XD

Watching this after attending the sold-out Wembley Arena show. No words can describe my gratitude for this

liam singing the lotr song and no one getting it is the biggest fail here

This SO reminds me of the sessions I used to run back in the 80s. (Unfortunately, I moved to Arizona in 89 and never have been able to find another group to play with as either a player or a DM.) I miss my Friday and Saturday night sessions. SIGH

I’ve only just come across Critical Role and all the amazing things that have happened over the years. Thank you so much for sharing this, it’s lovely to see. There may be more of us watching, but you guys really are “just a group of voice actors playing dungeons and dragons” 😊

This is so fun to see. Thank you for posting this. It's like home videos. ❤❤❤

"Why are we filming this" = EIGHT YEARS LATER..... 🙂

Deciding to record this was an epic decision.

Your friends are amazing so many laughs this is what its all about. I started as a DM a couple months back I love game mastering more then playing.

This is awesome

This is such a great reel! I'm on C2E66 so the Liam Eagle impression origin story is a new angle :)

I just found this channel and video after watching Critical role ep 22. OMG you guys are legendary. Thank you for the hours of entertainment and DnD while I wait for my own party to finally find a date to play together again. Much love from Belgium!

This video makes me feel sad about Orion, something I didn't think possible. He was with Vox Machina for 3 years pre stream, and was a friend to these people. For whatever reason - health, addiction, personality - he threw all these friendships away. It's crazy that he's only in 27 episodes of campaign 1, but was actually there much longer prior. Just sad

back when they truly had fun. best campaign by far 🎉🎉

Wait! Flying carpet? The one that lady Allura had?

This is EXACTLY how our evenings go! 😂

I've never resonated with anyone more than I did with Liam when he started humming Last march of the Ents/Nature's reclamation from Lord of the rings and then died inside when everyone continued with Jurrasic Park theme.

Aside from all the bad things Orion has done, I miss tiberius :(

A message for my future self: After 7 years im still enjoying this amazing group of people who one day decided to bring one of my most fondest dreams to life. Long live Pen & Paper games. All of them. Im sure it's the ultimate friendship and kindness generator .

Matt's voice sounds a bit different?

As an historian of RPGs, this clip is just absolute gold. Thanks for posting. 🙏🎲

This just goes to show you how the simplest little thing can just explode. Could you imagine if some of them said no? Love these people for what they have given me.

Pathfinder days wow ride skill lol

Aaah the good old Pathfinder days. Like Matt I stand up as GM at my game's too and I notice I do it when I'm a player as well.

so crazy Orion had the forethought to record this and Liam thought to upload it. I wonder if they knew

That showed up out of nowhere in my recommended and it's just so bizarre to see them all sit there compared to 03.23 and their huge studio and fancy models

2023 watching this and realizing Orion is filming. I hope Amazon is still giving That Guy a check too.

Thanks Liam! :)

and a THIRD season of legend of vox machina got greenlit along with the start of an animated adaptation of mighty nein to boot; well deserved, and it's wonderful to see their joy from day 1 of their game is being paid forward to the rest of the world as well today :)

this is a gem! ... i know i am late, but thank you for sharing :)

Thanks for that. Very important to see.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the only man who could make me tear up about a burger and fries. *applause*

So weird to hear Laura and Orion say I love you and Orion kissing Travis on the cheek, they really were close once upon a time

Just look at them they have no idea!

It's absolutely amazing how far they have! Campaign 3×46, LOVM season 2 and a mighty nein series coming soon. When friends got your back and work together, the sky is just another thing to break through and go higher.

i love the mismatched glasses and cups so fucking much. is marisha drinking out of a jar??? XD
