Critical Role

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?

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.

This is easily the best visual experience of my life. The connection the community feels to each other, to the people in the show, and to the game itself is incredible and I've been hooked -- nearly obsessed -- since the first half hour I saw. The experience is one that will resonate with you throughout your life and I sincerely hope this group continues in one form or another for decades to come.

This is the first and only time I've been tempted to send something to the actors, and even with only a fan letter I am waiting on pins and needles to know if they even got the letter.

Less than three you guys!

P.S. Includes more than a bit of swearing, some inappropriate humor and lots and lots of nerdiness.

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.

This is the best televised dungeon and dragons(homebrew/tweaked) series i have ever seen. Rarely ever do i like the position of spectator when people are playing games. But for 48 episodes i've been eagerly longing for the next. The dungeon master Matthew Mercer is a storyteller extraordinaire. All the other characters are of equal importance to the story Matthew develops. Each and every one of the actors adding a unique touch and feel to the campaigns. From serious to in for a good laugh you will be engulfed in an array of creative problem solving. Immersive roleplay and an excellent distribution of heroic moments between characters where all actors respect their assisting role at the right time allowing for each character to shine.

Thank you so much critical role crew for giving me such a lovely experience on a weekly basis. P.s. Please air the rebroadcast on a Sunday! It's too hard for this European to wait until Monday to see the episodes and impossible to break my day rhythm to see it at midnight.
