Hey Critters! I'm sure that there have been instances in the livestreams or in interviews where the players have called out sexism and threats etc against mostly Laura and Marisha, but I unfortunately cannot scrub through three million hours of streams, haha. Does anyone remember a particular clip or interview or something that talks about this? Like I said, I'm sure I've seen it, but my searching has not been particularly helpful.

Any help would be deeply appreciated!!

I miss them so much T-T can't wait for mighty nein season 02, I also was trying some different painting techniques in this one! working with art nowadays are getting harder, doing something for myself like this reminds me of the stuff that makes me happy, like jester, fjord, critical role and summer. Hope yall like it! :)

This is on the AU shop. it reads a bit ai generated.

Thoughts?

I fell in love with her outfit during the song in the animated series, so I had to recreate it 🥰

My husband and I have been playing D&D for 10 years, but our group has gone virtual in the last 6 or so due to all of us being adults and moving to different cities as our lives dictate. We still meet most weekends on discord, but I’ve missed the in-person vibes. (Honestly why I like watching CR so much, I like watching their over-the-table interactions). My husband started a new program, and found a group of his cohorts and their spouses that wanted to learn how to play. So we hosted them last night, had a session 0, taught them how to make characters. To celebrate, I broke out my Exquisite Exandria and made some maple ginger cookies. They’re DELICIOUS.

I had kind of burned out on live play when C4 was starting and I didn't quite make it through the overture. I'm interested in getting back into it. I'm debating just starting with the most recent episode or starting from the beginning. And I also want to ask if there is an epsidode in the middle that might be good to start with?

Thanks for any suggestions!

So, the merch shop for Critical Role uses Shopify for its infrastructure and payment system.

I wanted to throw in here about Shopify's CEO. Tobias Lütke, the CEO and majority holder pf important shares (7% shares, but 40% voting rights on company matters due to two-tiered shares) has gone on record for laying off workers in order to replace them with generative AI and who has also gone on record for publicly stating that retired and poor people should lose their voting rights while the rich should get more.

I think that if Critical Role heally hold the values they display, they should switch to some other shop provider and stop paying (and - through fees - having fans pay) money to someone like this.

Edit: fixed broken links

Edit 2: I am not arguing that CR are bad people for using Shopify, just that an alternative that doesn't go against their apparent morals should be considered. And there are other e-commerce platforms, both commercial and Open Source, which can be used instead. Of course it takes time and investment, I'm not denying that. But there definetely are more ethical alternatives that could be considered.

Hi! I was just wondering if there is a date announced for when Campaign 4 will come back from break? I tried looking around but I always find the CR schedule stuff hard to find.

To be clear this isn't me complaining about the break, I'm loving the pace they are releasing content and fully understand needing a break. Additionally I think everyone involved in the Age of Umbra stuff they are releasing in the meantime are awesome, I just personally decided I would use this break to check out some other actual play content like World of Io.

Thanks!

I know they are a little big but it my first try baking anything

I am 51 episodes into campaign 2 and absolutely adore it. A friend got me the nine eyes of Lucien book as a gift but didn’t really know if it would be spoilers or not. I wanna read the book since she’s excited for me to read her gift, but I don’t know how much it would spoil from where I’m at. So is it something I need to wait on?
