Critical Role Cast Panel | HIGHLIGHTS | Sam Riegel, Marisha Ray, Liam O'Brien & MORE 

Liam trying to make himself as small as possible as Laura glared daggers at Sam absolutely SENT me!

Ashley: "There are underwater NATIONS!?" Me, a big lover of Sea Elves, who recently learned they are included in Exandria: "Ah, I recognize that level of surprise...."

Ashley's comments at the end, in light of what she's been through, really got me ❤

another one of Taliesin’s great lines: “Don’t let patience curdle into apathy.”

Jester: Artie!! Can you turn me and my friends into mermaids so we can visit the underwater nations? Artie: Underwater....Nations?? Jester: Ohhhh yeah. Artie: I AM COMING WITH.

7:05-The face Talesin is making getting all this praise...same thing at NYCC, the man's a treasure. And yes, Cad is a capybara, IMHO! That got a serious laugh!

12:45 hearing Ashley say that, after all she's been through, is so touching. So glad to have her part of the cast full time.

Laughing over the really quick, "Justice for trinket!" sign someone was holding in the crowd at 3:56 XD

In this house, we adore Ashley Johnson.

3:52 Sam is technically right here, in a way! People love to say that the Beastmaster sucks, but the thing is, NO ONE wants to see their pet beast die. But it's somewhat the point: Put him in the front row, tank the damage, and when it dies you can literally just get another one! But no one wants to play a Beastmaster like that! Your character's beast is a character of its own!

If Laura is reading these comments... I WOULD TOTALLY BUY A TALIESIN ONE-LINE BOOK! so I hope they have that merch soon :D

Having watched the full panel, it’s all so true about what they say RE friendship vs business. They gave each other roles that play to their strengths (Ash as President of CRF, Travis as CEO, Sam as head of Marketing, Laura as head of Merchandising/Visuals, etc). Also, Matt being the DM gave him the natural ability to basically lead their social/morale department. Once he takes the reins at the table, they go back to “eating pita chips and being total slapdicks for a few hours” mode from before the streams. So if Matt says, “no business, only friendship tonight,” they all are able to refocus. That’s also why Metapidgeon and CR are so successful too, because we as Critters don’t see a corporation, we see our friendships embodied through them.

Ashley almost had me teary eyed at the end!😂 They’re all so cute! I loved all the best quotes too!

A one liner that always struck me as funny is Matt's strangled:"How do I want to do this??"

My favorite line of Marisha's: YOU ARE LYING!

my favorite Jester quote that no one ever brings up is "Sometimes the things that are the most beautiful are the things that can hurt you the worst." it really showed you something deeper was happening with Jester

"Were running, it's bad" one of my favourite from Tal

Second comment from me (sorry), but can't believe they didn't bring up "your secret is safe with my indifference", as a Taliesin quote! Also, a few Ashley quotes: "I've killed my family, I'll throw you under the bridge", or "I smell like a crayon". Yasha had a nice bunch of funny one-liners! :p

marisha playing a barbarian is overdue i think (to clarify: she can and should play whatever she wants, it just really fits her), hopefully campaign 4

Hearing them talked about classes they haven't dabbled in and the areas they want to explore really makes me wonder what campaign 4 will look like when we eventually get there. Also, Bells Hells should get their own animated series once the other ones wrap up!

We need the Jester and Fjord wedding one-shot!

I was there 🥰. The atmosphere was amazing. Such a lovely feel to the whole event, Critters are just such a lovely bunch of people. Hoping Critical Roll come back next year to the UK 🥰

9:22 matt: "this is YOUR fault now! you did this" critter with nothing but pride: " \o/ YES!!"

this is the best panel set up i’ve seen it’s just so much more comfy then bright lights everyone sitting behind a white table

Love this crew. I hope they keep making content for many years to come.

It was such a pleasure to watch this live, and thanks to Popverse for letting me dance on stage, truly a spectacular birthday that I'll never forget.

"How do you wanna do this?" is just a great phrase that it's SO HARD not to say it as a DM, when someone kills the last enemy during combat...

Ashley is like the baby sister in there huge family. i love them so much fr

I would love it if CR played a campaign with evil aligned characters. I mean, bell's hells has some really close, Neutral Evil perhaps? Can you imagine the chaos then?!

I appreciate they acknowledge the semi platonic polycule they’ve become

It was amazing being there! Well the main stage filled up fast so watching it with the rest of the critters at the live stream stage on the floor was so fun, all signing along cheering laughing. What a blast!

Funnily enough, if Keyleth raged (which gives resistance to bludgeoning, including fall damage) i think she would have not been instakilled

You can see Ashley making notes about putting barbarian into your Druid ... Next level for Ferne?!

1.) [2:43] *_"I am curious about playing a full blown-sies rogue."_** --* It will be amazing if/when Ashley Johnson plays a pure Rogue, character-, theme-, and RolePlay-wise (presumably in Campaign #4). I (broadly) envision Ashley playing a Small-size race (e.g.: Gnome, Halfling) Rogue; or perhaps a Tiefling Rogue, with a Dexterous prehensile tail theme/gimmick (a la Marvel Comics' X-Men's Nightcrawler). 2.) [3:06] *_"He would die! And we were in such high level fights, if I brought Trinket out, he would die in one hit!"_** --* Love how you can tell a (nerd-)rant was coming, with Laura Bailey's hair-flip, and Liam O'Brien's (faux-)cowering. Also great how you can hear (tone of voice) the emotional investment that Laura had in/with Trinket. 3.) [6:22] *_"Reverse Math."_** --* Even 6+ years later, that (Campaign #1) hilariously memorable moment still consistently cracks me up. And for those wondering, forgotten, &/or more recent Critical Role fans, a clip [ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2z7f49k8rnI.html ] of "Reverse Math" moment, from *[CR 1x110 - "The Climb Within"]* (air-date: 08/24/2017). *:D* 4.) [8:28] *_"Also, Underwater NATIONS!?!"_** --* Amazing how that even after 10+ years and 3+ books, Dungeon Master Matt Mercer can still spring unexpected angles and surprises onto his veteran Players. Also, love Ashley reaction (face & tone) to the concept of underwater nations as soon as it was mentioned. 5.) [11:20] *_"Our lion, our paladin, and our shield."_** --* Some important factors to know/remember about Travis Willingham, CEO... - a.) *Sharp-Minded -* With his size, physical build, and generally jovial nature, it is easy to forget/overlook that Travis is *VERY* smart and mentally sharp. - b.) *Humility -* Travis *DID NOT* set out to become CEO of Critical Role Productions. - c.) *Critical Role Productions, LLC -* However, it was Travis who took the initiative (pun intended) and created the CRP, LLC account. This was no small thing/risk, it meant that Travis financially and legally bore the risk(s) and consequences if CRP, LLC failed in its start-up period. - d.) *The Chosen One -* Besides that (account), Travis was appointed CRP CEO by *UNAMINOUS* decision/vote by the CR cast & crew(s). Since then, Travis has held the CEO position uncontested and without complaint; and given Critical Role's consistent prosperity, this has been clearly the correct choice. *;)* 6.) [13:00] *_"I don't know what I would do without this game. Literally."_** --* This is especially meaningful, considering the Real Life hardships that Ashley has gone through. Thankfully, Ashley has the extended family that are the CR-cast. On a parallel track, Travis has also outright stated that he considers Ashley his 'Little Sister'. Likewise, Laura and Ashley have been working together and close friends as far back at *2010;* where-as the Critical Role home-game began in *2012(-ish),* and the Critical Role web-series began in *2015.* Thanks for uploading this, *Popverse.* :)

Saw this in person at Comic Con (first one ever 😊) and it was awesome to see them. Would automatically do it again 💙

This is what its all about to be a critter.

The Jaffe Codex would be awesome.

Is there somewhere I could watch this panel in full or no?

MERMAID ONESHOT! MERMAID ONESHOT! MERMAID ONESHOT! MERMAID ONESHOT! MERMAID ONESHOT! MERMAID ONESHOT! 🧜‍♀️🙏🌊🧜‍♂️✨🧜🪸💙

5:40 Neil Newbon in Critical Role would be sick. He's just a chaotic lil gremlin

Sam makes a reference into BG3 bear scene with his 'use it in a wise and smart way' inuendo 🤣

Laura: THERE ARE UNDERWATER NATIONS!? jesters dad: uhm yeah

Can you guys please make merch with "Time is a Weird Soup" on it. I've been waiting ever since Fearne said it! 😅

This is by far the best group of people!!! We love them & is it Thursday yet!! ❤

This was an excellent panel! ❤

FULL PANEL IN DESCRIPTION; PANEL STARTS ON 26:26

I need the entire interview plz 😭

I just love Ashley Johnson and I'm so happy that she's been able to get past all the negative and dark stuff she's been through. She's such a beautiful soul and everytime she was away in C1 and C2 her absence was felt. I'm so glad she's in a better place and I'm so happy she's been able to be on the show since COVID.

I was there!

Your secret is safe with my indifference.

love to see the whole Panel :(

I love that most of them have no idea how to sit in chairs

oh! i want a Taliesin quote book!

It is a serious question...falling damage is bludgeoning, so if KeyFish took only half damage, would she have survived? ROFLMAO

All of them seem so close to losing their voices 😂

9:07 Merman *cough cough* MerMAN!

Marisha and Ashley's voices sound much rougher in this, probably just a bit of partying, but yeah.

Does anybody know where the full version of this would be not justvthe highlights

For what it’s worth, raging whilst falling off that cliff would have been enough to make the damage non-lethal. Still death saves, but no instant death.

Full panel when?

So we dont get the full panel again? Just like New York we only get highlights from London? this is sad

is there a full version of this somewhere?

Why is Bayek interviewing Critical Role?

is there a link to full panal ?

Critters rise up!!

Is there a way to watch the whole panel?

I wanna Mermaid One shot!!!

Not only is Reedpop absolutely abysmal with access to videos of panels and wants to talk you into useless subscriptions, they apparently are also unable to hire capable audio engineers, judging by the sound quality.

Sam stop riding Laura for her gaming choices challenge

where can we see the full panel?

tf the highlights dont cut it where can i see the fullthing

5:12 This now counts as Canadian content.

3:57-ROFL.

Post the entire thing

So who else is here because they couldn’t get into the main stage yesterday? 😂

Raging goldfish would have actually prevented her from straight dying...

Raging goldfish might have survived the fall...

oh i love Marisha's dress :D

I would love to ask Would you consider using your voice acting skills and darington press to change the audiobook industry to give life to characters in book series like Written in Red by Anne Bishop or the Enchanted Forest Chronicles and other fantasy/fiction stories.

I don't know if it was just how the microphones were set up but their poor voices sound shot. Lol

Wait... the full version is on an alternate platform that has trouble working properly? Great idea! That's a fantastic way for me to never engage with your content.

BARD JESTER YES

So the next campaign will be water based huh? 😂

Mustache Sam is REALLY throwing me off

Is Marisha pregnant, or I am imagining things?

Every time i watch them, i regain my faith in humanity
