Critical Role

This show is epic, the story telling is top notch. And the real emotions of these voice actors as they are truly connected to their characters is unbelievable! Matthew Mercer is a world creating genius and just waiting for Thursday proper to roll around so that I can watch is almost torture. This is by far my favorite streaming show of all time.

This show is a joy to watch. All of the actors truly care about their characters and the narrative.

The unscripted, improvised actions of the players adds to the unpredictable and engaging story that Matt Mercer sets up.

Watching Critical Role will enrich your life.

9 voice actors get together and play Dungeons and Dragons, live, for our entertainment. The voice acting experience of everyone involved is outstanding and they have played these character for the better part of 2 years and so they are truly emotional when one of their party is on the brink of death; REAL TEARS PEOPLE! If you're a fan of fantasy and great story telling, if you were ever embarrassed by your basement hobby, if you wanted to learn about table top role playing, but, didn't know where to go, I highly recommend Geek & Sundry's Critical Role. I laugh, I cry, I RAGE! But, mostly, I love, love, love Critical Role. By far the most genuine and entertaining show out there at the moment.

10/10 all the feels.

I stumbled upon this web series quite early in its airing. It mainly caught my interest because of the cast. Nine voice actors in total, some of which you never knew you knew, make up this extremely well rounded and semi-professional improvisational group of adventurers. Developing a human being is no easy feat, and to make each and every character as unique as they are, it's astounding. With the cherry on top that is their years of experience in voice acting, it is a joy to listen to them all whenever they speak. Now what got me to stay was the absurdly well spun story, custom built by the dungeon master. The writing of this loose script is pulled off amazingly, and the only thing that would make it better is to have an actual cast behind the creator to voice each character. Don't get me wrong, he does do a fantastic job with each one, breathing life into every being in his world. From the characters born from both the players and the DM, comes the gut busting, tear jerking, most jaw dropping story that I have ever had the pleasure to witness unfold before me. As of writing this review today on the Thursday of May 19, 2016, I await the impending exhilaration of watching the newest episode, number 54. To all of those reading this, I have one question for you. Is it Thursday yet?

Critical Role is an excellent display of just how much fun you can have playing the classic 'pen and paper' game of Dungeons and Dragons. Bringing the old radio plays from the 20s into a modern day setting (the internet) these highly talented voice actors all inject fun, enthusiasm and entertainment into their characters.

Matthew Mercer (Halo 4, Diablo 3) takes on the role of the Game Master, the person responsible for maintaining the story, who guides the players through their journey in a world of his creation. Every shopkeeper, tavern owner and wandering monster is brought to life by his quirky and intelligent style.

On occasion the story can wane due to the size of the party and due to the budgets available to web shows the sound quality will sometimes go awry I was unable to rate it as a 10, but the quality of voice acting involved will rival any movie, TV show or video game. If you love playing the game itself or want to pick up some helpful tips this show is not something you can afford to miss.
