LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA: Matt Mercer, Ashley Johnson, Taliesin Jaffe, & Travis Willingham Talk Dragons 

Kind of a fun feeling seeing the Crit Role cast in a Geek & Sundry video again 😄

G&S doing this interview is like watching a babysitter check in with a kid they used to sit whos all grown up and made it big since then. I like "The Multiverse of Matt-ness."

Matt: Multiple dead Guards.... jeah checks out.

"Matt Mercer, Several Dead Guards", best way to credit his role in all of this 😂

Imagine if the first episode of season 4 was a clipshow starring Matt in a random tavern as a bard recounting the past 3 seasons!

"Being Matt Mercer" in the spirit of Being John Malkovich, that's the vibe you're looking for! I'm here for that.

I would watch the SHIT out of a Matt Mercer only episode!

Just watched the first 3 episodes of season 2. Loving the shit out of it so far.

Thank you for making a show worth watching

Ashley Johnson honestly gets more beautiful every time someone points a camera at her.

Oh man, once they brought up Cumberbatch I immediately started picturing what his interpretation of the Whispered One might be like if they ever successfully cast him for that. Definitely nice to see Dan Casey again. Haven't seen him since his days playing Dupont Dupont on CelebriD&D.

Matt Mercer "Multiple Dead Guards" accurate lmfao

My group and I are counting the Mercers we see. We rewatched season 1 a day before release and saw even more of him. So excited for the soundtracks, jokes and backstorie stuff! I get so giddy ever time I think about this show xD

They better follow through with that “Orphan Matt” promise

To me this show is a love letter to D&D its what playing the game is like I love the detail in the world matt made.

Dan Casey is a god damned treasure.

Every scene with Scanlan is a masterpiece

season 2 is amazing right from the first moments of episode one! keep up this pace and this will last for a long time what fun!

I knew they were getting the battle chasers devs to make a game for them!

*Checks channel name* Well this certainly came full circle

I've watched a bunch of these interviews... This one was my favorite. 🙂

My Percy Funko pop just arrived today and I think Amazon is watching over me! Time to binge with Vax, Trinket, Pike, and Percy! I hope I can find the other pops someday soon!

Man, that "Matt in a tavern retelling the tale" would be glorious, kinda like the Ant-Man segments where Luis is recounting events voicing the other actors :)

Matt Mercer: multiple dead guards. They Nailed it with that humor

Matt Mercer: "Multiple Dead Guards"

MULTIPLE DEAD GUARDS!!! That got me...

THANK YOU for all you do so very very much ❤️

LOL...the cast comes back to their original home for a visit...and goes back to the butt stuff! 😂💯😁

"Matt Mercer- Multiple Dead Guards" sent me. lmao.

I'd love an episode of a Minstrel Matt regaling an audience with an encounter he witnessed of Vox Machina. Where everyone but VM is voiced by Matt.

I'm so happy for season 2!

Oooh, we will actually get to see Grog with his Beard comin up

ITS SO GOOD! Cant wait for the next 3 episodes!!

Seeing GnS and CR together again, even for a moment, I can't help but pontificate, lol- I have to wonder if the absolutely broad willingness at GnS to experiment with all sorts of new approaches to entertainment and shows that birthed CR (IMHO more responsible for actual new players than Stranger Things that helped normalize it, but didn't help light fires of curiosity nearly so much!), today, set against the current Hasbroification of DnD at a level so extreme their own employees that aren't execs and legal have been revolting might... be indications of the dawn of the next era? Of growth in the best direction? I can dream. Seeing the actual allies at WoTC who aren't "Witches of the Cost" harmed, sucks. I hope when we know more about who really took risks, the community rewards that loyalty. Those risking their jobs to leak to press and other allies, I mean. But they're all adults showing what they value, both the awful evil and the neutral or chaotic good of the lot. Thanks to them we know not only the NeOGL details to the letter, but even deeper context into the real thinking behind it in spite of some of the more sloppy damage control. Well hell, we know the thinking. They're even still giving us confirmation to prove what we know. Other than the allies who might be under the boot of contracts for who knows how long, I do hope this teaches an unforgettable lesson to corporations that it ain't the 80s anymore. The kind that college courses could be created around. Generations are coming of age who weren't raised with a choice of only a few, mostly very formula, similar choices of entertainment, even in video games. Entire generations have learned morals not by pure theory and being frightened of theoretical eternal torment, but by living as virtual protagonists who could be rewarded for doing humane things, punished for inhumanity, even given a pure sandbox to scratch evil itches and maybe get it out of their system and evolve away from it (although picking every chest and jumping on beds in ESO will always amuse me, lol). In my experience, I've seen that create generations who still don't know it all, but aren't afraid of an egalitarian approach to allowing ppl to learn in their own ways and then do business and recreate however they want. Ya, it's created some ugly, but as a longtime Cybersecurity doink, I see growth and evolution to be hopeful about. As far as I see it for DnD as WoTC produce it, the next few months are life and death decisions for the brand. If the execs don't get it, DnD will become almost an epithet, and we'll inevitably learn who some heroes were on the inside... Because I predict a mass resignation insofar as employees are able in their career to take the risk. If not under non-compete non disparagement clauses, I imagine those taking that risk only being rewarded. Hell, an earlier, even smaller version of today's ttrpg/general celebration of geekdom raised almost 12 million for a cartoon I thought would only be one season when I helped the Kickstarter. They just, last I checked, gave over $135k to a Kickstarter goal of $85k to help Richard Hough (edit, said Mike, a totally different guy, sorry!) the RU-vid gaming attorney (check him out if you haven't but enjoy law, give if you can afford it) and no "stretch goals" or rewards are offered or expected because one of us who goes the extra mile had a stroke and needs help. The monkey's paw is at work 😉. There is so much written between the lines right now with WoTC and CR, while GnS was apparently a completely amicable separation that occured with no sense that anyone had to watch what they said. CR has wanted personal creative control but never shied away from signal boosting allies (Travis, CEO was REALLY personally hooking up reacters etc with early full seasons because he gets the value of alliances that respect autonomy and so on, imo). Makes me wonder if, in spite of Felicia Day's understandable burnout, there might be a reorganisation and resurgence of GnS. GnS tried a lot I just wasn't into. But I respected and appreciated the attempts, and a platform that gave such broad license to "imaginators" to create in all sorts of inventive ways. It's weakness IMHO was a lack of anything unifying outside nerd and geekdom in the most general terms. But done right, with things third party creators have learned about online community interaction over the years, it could be a powerhouse homebase cooperative type of thing. Felicia and Will really were visionaries. Being tuned into things like PAX and Acquisitions Inc. as fans first, professionals second is what brought us critical role, almost directly. There is a pretty straight line from Dr. Horrible and The Guild to where we are today. I hope looking to those ppl involved that far back as the egalitarian, crowd sourced producer of content might lead to something great. One can dream, stream... And drone on about it apparently. Sheesh self, turn down the geeking, 😂

Just gonna say here that no matter what happens w everything, your real fans will have y'alls back no matter what. Keep up the badassery. Love you all

Great cameo in Vasselheim, three more times.

I'm here for Orphan Matt!! *waits in line*

Whenever I hear Thordak speak, I still only hear Lance as Zavala 😂😂

Season 19? I'm here for it

I need at least 8 seasons…too good, I’m not even into D&D but I’m getting into the whole lore & stuff now lol. So much back story

Watched the first 3 episodes and really enjoyed them..

Just watched em all

Back to where it all began

Am so onboard for Orphan Matt 😆

When I first heard Lance Reddick speak as a dragon, I half expected him to yell "Bosch!"

I agree! They need to talk to Amazon and have Matt do a dub for all the episodes and play all the NPCs and call it the Matt cut! Just for nostalgia sake and for those transitioning from the Livestream to the show

YES! I was hoping I wasn’t the online who spotted Garrison and Red Monika from Battle Chasers!

critical role presents Vox Machina multiverse of Mattness

I have slight correction on the "you did a phenomenal job with this adult animation" part by the interviewer. They freaking blew it out of the park! Esp S2(e10) Just an anomaly good series brought to visual life in another degree. If this keeps up for another few seasons, I will put this show somewhere nearby GoT S1-4. Even if only in my own ranking. Ty all very very much for this.

Time to go and watch it for the 2nd time. I feel for you CR. 💖👌

#OrphanMatt is perfect!

First 3 episodes of season 2 rock

It's rough hearing them gush over Lance Reddick. RIP.

It's Dupont Dupont!

Épilogues of Matt Mercer NPCs would be awesome!!

What a homecoming

Right on, it's always nice to see CR and Geek & Sundry do a thing. And I freaking love all the changes and alterations and enhancements and cuts and improvements to the story, because they all work and they all fit. And we know it's all coming from the right executives (i.e. Critical Role themselves).

Engagement for the engagement god!

Dan Casey is great

I would love a cameo from Dupont Dupont, dwarven rogue xD

More Scanlan songs? Yes please!!

If i wanted to watch the critical roll season 1 episodes that matches vox machina season 1 what numbers would that be? and for season 2?

with no disrespect, this was more organic and enjoyable than the watch along. much love to cast and crew

Welp, Life Support still seems to be holding. Will check back soon.

Cumberbatch as the baddie from Briarwoods book. They asked him to come hang out?

Now I need a matt NPC to do the recap for season 3

Grogs one shot being a side story or bit

Matt is a marvel watcher in the show.

So wait.. is G&S making content again?

Maybe an CR album release?

Matt and troy doing all the voices

Is Chrom Fire Emblem Awakening

HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE

Is critical role still going

Could really meld Fantasy genres and have the Matt characters be like the Weasleys from Harry Potter. All brothers in one tavern talking about their screwed up run ins Vox Machina. Jump to Vox Machina having a fight just outside the tavern with some big monster and it smashes a boulder or something into said tavern. Let it sorta amount to all the crap that Matt gets for his character names that get twisted, or ball busting before the episode starts to get him to screw up, etc.

i know its the same actor but i couldnt stop hearing zavala rather than a new character.

The real question here is: What is Travis trying to hide in the background?

Cumberbatch for Vecna?

Matt Mercer is the hipster cops.

i thought Geek n Sundry was dead 💀

I thought this site was dead?

#opendnd

Kash even looks like matt

Holy shit, Geek and Sundry still exists? I thought they ate dirt after trying to over-monetise their community

Sprinkle in season 1? Really?

I wonder if they'll be able to address the OGL. Ever. Stupid contracts.

episodes so far season 2 felt super rushed :(

Still wish they had a backbone and denounced Wizards of the Coast for OGL

did Travis start fighting MMA??? dudes got 2 black eyes... Get some sleep brother

How about CR find a legal get around in their NDAs with WotC to comment on the OGL issue. There are gamers and Critters worried CR will sell out TTRPGing to WotC. They really need to get ahead of this....they are behind the 8 ball now.

Im sure the eps will get better as the season rolls on but right now s1 is way better so far Im also sure well get at least several seasons to wrap up c1 and hopefully some c2 action but id rather some c3 eps instead

Vex is even dumber and vax is even weaker this season 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Lance was a horrible choice for thordak….maybe if u pitched his voice way tf down but as of now he doesnt do shit for me
