Critical role

I woke from a dream with a tears soaked pillow. I didn't want to discuss the episode or the whole show because I still don't have the words. Looking on Twitter the cast and other critters apparently woke up sobbing as well and seeing nothing like it here I posted what I felt would have been an emotional support thread. Not for discussing the show, but just support and feelers.
The mods closed it immediately saying "not Veeky Forums related".
I was already pretty raw from the ending and some dreams and without anywhere near full night rest his rather crushed me.
This stifling by the mods has made me not want to lurk anymore. Since I don't really participate in other social media I guess this is good bye to the cri/tg/ter community as I regulate to an occasional observational outsider.

Why the fuck do artists keep drawing the characters as brown? They're all fair-skinned, but Keyleth and Pike both look like Indians with dyejobs.

Why do you care?

...

You know the players and the PCs aren't the same, right

You think that's bad? Adventure Zone fanart makes Critical Role look like a Klan rally

fuck you and the rest of the crittards

that being said ya i'm still completely broken and wrecked from that goodbye vax and the ending

fuckin dumb ass piece of shit stfu

It's not fan art if half the cast isn't brown.

Seriously why brown Pike?

But Pike in the official is fair skinned. Same with everyone else. I can see Keyleth being darker because Druid hippie or maybe Scanlan but everyone else I don't get

Isn't she suppose to be nearly albino? She's a deep gnome right?

Druid I understand.
>always outside in sun
>on a literal mountain top

Scanlin was in a desert for about a year or something and it was stated that his skin was darker.

Tans don't work like that. Neither does Druidism. Stop niggering a class.

>thinking anyone on Veeky Forums knows how a tan works

>She's a deep gnome right?
On shit she is black

Can someone explain the OP to me? All I know is Critical Role is (was?) a tabletop series.

Did it end on a sour note or something? I need the details, and I hope they're juicy.

Campaign ended yesterday. Missed it but the rogue was a revenant and is permadead since they 'killed' Vecna, barbarian doesn't have his souls because of deck of many things, gunslinger swore off guns and made a clock tower, cleric and bard got married and live with the barbarian and the Druid is unfortunately still alive.

Sounds pretty bittersweet, the perfect way to end a high-profile campaign!

You sound like a paid bot

Does that mean she has that beer gut?

>Abloo-bloo-bloo my shit YouTube show ended and the mods won't let me cry about it...

kys

You sound like a shill trying to deflect your shilling.

You don't think OP actually believes the things he typed, do you

Because that would make you pretty dumb

muh diversity
muh inclusion

No Veeky Forums related. Suck it up and eat your ban, fag.

Remember when Google drew every Shakespeare character as black?

Wait a minute. I'm not hugely knowledgeable on this subject, but how can it possibly be anything but Veeky Forums related? Have I made a huge error of assumption somewhere in believing that this thing is someone's D&D campaign being talked about here? D&D, the traditional game?

The argument is that it's D&D for normies

This smells or SHITLORD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. The question you should be asking is: Why aren't every single one of them a bantu nigger!

Pffft. D&D is D&D for normies.

What, I thought Pike wasn't into Scanlan
I'm like a year behind on this shit and can't really muster up the energy to catch up anymore

She warmed up to him. The person she was in love with is implied to be Percy and she lost to Vex

Dude... its JUST a D&D campaign.
A D&D campaign you WEREN'T part of.

Do you really think they are just going to stop there?

It's been a coy dick teasing back and forth, she's was pretty salty about him leaving for a year or so and clearly showed Ashley intended them to get together just not right then and there for character reasons

Did victor make a comeback?

Going off the thread yes he did but I think he was missing limbs

>Druid is unfortunately still alive
What did he mean by this?

Well yeah, unless Percy had a short stack fetish she obviously was gonna loose that one. I still think the best scene to come out of that was the bath scene, you can see the moment Laura decides to go with it after Talisen sets it up. I mostly just love Travis's reaction.

Keyleth is a dumpster fire that was never put out. Maxed wisdom character that had gone on a journey of learn and self discovery that did neither but is defended tooth and nail by green knights on the internet.

Bath scenes are always the best scenes in tabletop.

this bait is of masterwork quality

>being this upset over a dnd podcast
>holding this much attachment to a product

pls

>implying OP enjoys CR
>implying OP isn't just attempting to bait Veeky Forums into getting upset about female e-celebs

pls

What's with the Indians? Pike isn't brown. Scanlan isn't a nigger. Keyleth doesn't matter, she is a wood elf so wood colored is fine.

People are going off when Pike was being a sailor, right before the show started and Scanlen was in Ankurel (or how ever the fuck you spell it) during the recent time skip. Also it's only a handful that draw Pike tanned, most have her pinkish-pale.

The bathtub scene is easily the best humorous moment in the series, and this includes the moments between Sam and Travis.

>implying implications
>being this much of a tryhard wannabe-cynic
>being underage on Veeky Forums
pls

I can't wait for Travis to not be stuck behind a six Int, hopefully Sam doesn't end up dumb so those two can finally get something done. I feel slightly bad for Mercer until he can learn how to handle someone actually smart making plans for once.
>Mfw realizing with how easy Mercer's had it Travis is gonna bend this next campaign over the table like he does Laura for a while

Not really, man.

You can really see the demographics of nu-Veeky Forums on display here. You've got the newfags who swallowed the "we cynic" meme so hard that they can't tell reality from fiction anymore, and the /pol/tards having an argument over tumblr fanart skin colors.

Apparently the only real fa/tg/uys left all watch Critical Role. Maybe it's not so bad. Should I try watching it?

My guess is that Travis will play a Blood Hunter, because the dude has had a boner for werewolves for a while now and this is probably the closest way for him to play one in D&D. But that will still let him have a 12 - 14 INT score, which should be enough to let him become the combat planner of the group that you know he wants to do.

My other expectations for the table are:

> Taliesin
Probably Tiefling Archfey Warlock in service to Artagen

> Liam
Human Paladin (probably Vengeance again) or a Half-Elf Cleric (probably Death domain again as a servant to the Raven Queen)

> Laura
Half-Elf Rogue, probably Thief archetype. I suspect she'll roleplay as one of the kids of Vex and Percy, so she might have guns too

> Ashley
Handling Barbarian, probably totem too. Something that can easily drop in and out with few complexities for her

> Sam
High Elf Wizard, maybe Divination school

> Marisha
Aasimar Sun Soul Monk (because she wants to be special snowflake again but not as a caster)

>Critical role finale thread
>First reply is a complaint about the accuracy of the skin colors in OP's pic.

>Handling Barbarian

I meant Halfling Barbarian, stupid autocorrect.

I only like her because she is some eye-candy.

She's the least attractive of the three women

Couple things:
>Ashley probably won't return for another campaign because Blindspot took away about 50% of her total participation, and she was only in person for the show half the time anyway.
>Marisha seemed to enjoy playing a Monk, which is good if she wants to roll one because it is mostly punching and flurry of blows anyway.
>Tallesin knows what character he wants to roll up for the next campaign is, but has yet to verify it by Matt.
And I really hope Liam doesn't do another character based on the Death domain or the Raven Queen. He should try for a different character archetype that isn't similar to the one he just played.

>Ashley on Blindspot situation
That's why I said Ashley would roll up as a Barbarian, because they still want her on the show and it's a class that is easy to slot in/out of a group with some quick updates compared to a caster.

>Marisha playing a Monk
That's why I suggested her being a Monk, as she seemed to enjoy it. I said Sun Soul Aasimar because she'll want to be a snowflake in other ways, and being a literal shining holy beacon on the battlefield sounds right up her alley.

> Liam still playing emo BS
I hope he plays something else too, but I think the man has a type he enjoys playing and it's the "hero with a shady past/skillset" one.

You should have been tipped off by the OP anyway.

But seriously, why is it okay to make white characters black but not black characters white?

Because kill whitey

Are you seriously trying to pin a moral framework onto tumblr? It's impossible. They're the most decentralized cult that has ever existed.

its a tumblr post, so mock away

Because tumblrites believe in representation as part of their soft bigotry of low expectations.

The post-modernist Left would argue that racism doesn't work the same both ways ('both' revealing their oversimplistic mindset that it's whites vs everyone else).

The real reason is that the post-modernist Left contains large numbers of various different non-white nationlists who get super butthurt really easily (like all nationlists do) and then play the race card.

>The post-modernist Left would argue that racism doesn't work the same both ways

I think you mean 'tumblr would argue that racism doesn't work the same both ways.'

The left as a whole doesn't care all that much. You're confusing those at the furthest end of the horseshoe for an entire political spectrum that is mostly comprised of people that want more public spending.

I don't fully agree with the logic of the user you're responding to, but they did say "postmodernist" Left, which is to say the university-grown, critical theory-based Left.

>The left as a whole doesn't care all that much
Their spokespeople sure as hell seem to

'Their spokespeople?' Who, exactly, speaks for the entire left wing of America? Or of Earth? Does anyone speak for the entire right wing?

Don't be silly. Nobody even speaks for the entirety of young leftists, or educated leftists, or any other subgroup you could find.

You know those tumblrites that characterize the entire right side of politics as literally nazis because of a few loud and obnoxious assholes at the furthest end? You are being them right now, just in reverse.

>every left wing organization shits on white males
>the DNC/Hillary disregards white males so hard they lose to Trump
>the SAT is docking whites and Asians test points and giving those points to blacks
>left wing press fucking celebrating white suicide
>CBS exec got fired for saying it's great that country fans got murdered at Vegas because they're typically white and Republican
>Hollywood, a left wing society in which the currency is apparently rape, advocating the assassination of not just Trump, but his son as well
>University professors being found out as antifa supporters or tweeting out how much they love White Genocide
>Canada refusing white South Africans asylum because "I don't want to be murdered for being white" is apparently racist slander rather than objective fact
You'd be better off finding a left wing organization that WASN'T completely hateful of white males

The 'post-modernist' Left is a section of the Left. I wasn't talking about the entire Left. lrn2 politics pls, you wannabe smartass.

That's shrill, melodramatic hyperbole even by the low standards of the modern American Right. You're every bit as bad as the postmodernists. A shame.

You failed to answer the question, chief. List some notable left wing organizations that aren't playing the race games.

>She is some eye candy

Can you cite all of these?

I could literally just change the names and a few words and it would be a convincing tirade about why the right is 100% racist.

Cry harder you fucking cunt.

Delicious vex sucking off percy secretly in front of her brother is deliciously lewd canon.

oh lord the political debate is beginning

>I'm kinda in the middle of something right now

because tumblr memes and white people are bad

I'm not that user, but I don't think she's that ugly. She's definitely the type to smash your windows and slash your tires when you break up though.

I've been kinda depressed/melancholic all day honestly. It's hard not to be super attached when you spend over 370hrs watching these people. I cant imagine what it must feel like for them, having actually played for 5 years and then seeing the overflowing support/sadness/thanks from the community.

Super excited about the next campaign since all the players have proven they can be just as entertaining/more entertaining in One-Shots (Fuck Liam and Marisha are more likable in their one shots than their actual characters)

In the meantime I am going to dedicate myself to finally finding a roll20 game that works for me since I work odd hours, have ZERO game shops near me, and none of my friends are the least bit interested.

The best part is that episode is called "What Lies Beneath the Surface"

Sho thang, BBY doll

Dang this must be a huge timeskip for it takes place in present day

That's what we're talking about, dumbass

>first link
>daily mail
>[unspecified person] says
>it is claimed
>are said to be
When a rag that already has a terrible reputation chooses to cover their ass that hard, you can be sure they're spewing bullshit. Which is weird because honestly, "the Clintons have a loveless marriage" hasn't been news since 1998. The story doesn't support the claim that Hilary's loss was due to disregarding white males, anyway.

>left wing press thing
That's not a member of the press, that's a candidate. And honestly, his "just a joke" does seem to be honest in this case, even though it's a fucked up thing for a politician to be joking about.

>CBS exec got fired
If he's fired, isn't that good? Seems to me that firing him was a reasonable thing for CBS to do given the situation.

>Hollywood
I absolutely believe that people have done that, but it's not like they represent the majority. Even though assassinating Trump may be an uncomfortably popular notion with the left, messing with his family still fails to gain traction except with the crazies.

>Canada
They rejected those people because they couldn't satisfy the court that they were actually being persecuted. Canada is free to set their own policy on what kind of refugees they take in, and if they don't want to take refugees who can't demonstrate that they're being targeted for purely racial rather than economic reasons, that's their prerogative. Forcing a country to take in refugees is bullshit, regardless of whether those refugees are white.

You realize what a bureaucratic nightmare that system is right? If you can't prove racially motivated attacks you can't prove them. I don't think it's a good system but it's not intentionally raciss against whites.

Anyhow, you do realize that all these corner-cases and one-off individuals you've dug up have their clear equivalents on the right, don't you? Do you know how easy it would be to find shit about the 'spokespeople' for the right being in the KKK or stormfront in order to fabricate the idea that DA RIGHT IZZZ RACISSS? FFS you literally just have to point at the current cabinet.

Ok user we get it, we have all taken the redpill now fuck off

If you haven't noticed, this isn't /pol/. Nor is it a /pol/ thread. It's a thread about some online D&D thing. So it would seem that you are the ones that must fuck off, especially seeing as the side you clearly identify were the ones that started this dumb political argument.

/pol/ is to your right, don't come back.

>one case
>involving immigrants from a pretty rare origin
>ALL OF THE CANADA, EVERY CANADIAN IS IN ON IT

This isn't /pol/, take this stupidity elsewhere.

Exandrian Deep Gnomes just have dark eyes and hair. Pike originally had black hair, but after her resurrection from dying to the glabrezu in the Soverign of Emon's throneroom, it turned white. That shit happened before stream.

I don't get how you guys can sit still watching people play D&D. I'm not judging or baiting, just how do you sit still and enjoy that? I would get bored of not DOING anything for that long, do you guys just have it in the background?

I usually have it in the background while I play Roller Coaster Tycoon/WoW unless its a big fight or something

>it's okay to discriminate against whites so long as they're from a vanishingly rare demographic
>you know, on account of the active, government ordained genocide that's underway
Wew lad

>govt is genociding us guis!
>look at how the pander to even the most slack jawed idiotic white person
>it's duh genocide though honest!

I'm talking about South Africa, retard. You know, where presidents sing "kill all the white man" and the army and all their citizenry sing and dance along.

I watch because I really like Matt's running. Honestly, outside of Matt's NPCs, Grog, and Scanlan there isn't a whole lot I find exceptional. This is coming from a person who has watched every episode. Also, Matt's campaign setting book was really good.
I generally find the big fights to be some of the more boring episodes. It's hard to run an engaging-for-all-parties with 6-9 people at the table and 30k people watching I think.

>strawmaaaaaaaaaaan!
