>You play a criminal bear, and you have two stats: CRIMINAL and BEAR. Hewitt describes it as "A roleplaying game in which you are a bear with a plan, but unfortunately you are also a goddamn bear, so let's see how that goes." He posts a one-page RPG each month, and co-wote the most recent edition of the Paranoia RPG.
>Will Marisha prove her white knights right and run a fun game, or will she fall apart? >Will Marisha be as intelligent as she sometimes seems outside of game, or will she channel Keyleth? >Will Liam find a way to make this game about bears and honey into a melodramatic mess?
Talks Machina Campaign Wrapup: Thurs. December 14th at regular time New Campaign in the new year Artbook looks neat, but not $60 neat.
I mean if you listen to her outside of game she seems mildly intelligent (Plus when they just threw her into Creative Director she actually helped right the ship), but then you get shit like
>Be in the Feywild, be high WIS Druid, everyone (including experts) yelling not to fucking touch anything >Picks a flower >Goldfish and the cliff >I use a GUST OF WIND
I don't hate her nearly as much as Veeky Forums does, but her character got old
James Brooks
15 minutes lads >Brian Foster confirmed
Caleb Diaz
This retarded bullshit. ""Quirky"" ""cute""" games are just a waste of people's time and a great way to draw uninformed retards into this hobby like the kind who join and then ask to play their first character as some kind of idiotic fucking greentext gimmick from Veeky Forums. Wow, trilbies and bears, lolrandumxD!!! What the fuck is even the point of playing a bear? Does it add anything? If bears can be "drivers" and "hackers", why not just make them people? It's an obvious gimmick to cover for this whore being a shit gamer. Calling this a game is like calling rick and morty shitposts "literature". >inb4 "FUN!!!"

>Critical Role >5 minutes in >NAT 20 WOOOHOHOHOHHHOHOHOHWOOOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO >Table explodes in geysers of cum >Liam immediately whips out his mushroom cap and rubs it on the table >Marisha begins convulsing in what turns out to be a grand mal seizure brought on by pure ecstasy
This is how every episode pretty much goes, with only minor hyperbole.
Jackson Adams

Nicholas Hernandez
She'll fall apart right as break gets called, her default state IS Keyleth, and ofc Liam will angst regardless of medium.
If Mercer's there he'll likely bail his wife out.
Josiah Ross
>They need to kill time till new year >Liam/Sam want new people to try DM'ing >Marisha and Matt has been busy prepping for their wedding/being on their honeymoon and just got back Monday >Decide to do something goofy and simple since they don't have time to plan a complex one shot
I've played it before just to kill a couple hours when some of my regulars couldn't make it. Its a pretty fun gag campaign. Trying to stretch it to 4 hours is really something though, even with the inclusion of Taldorei/Trinket. Plus its probably just a big signal boost for the creator
>I wonder if Marisha partakes in psychedelics. Matt admitted that the first time he went to Burning Man his friends had him sample a bunch of the safer psychedelics (Mostly cause it was a safe space and Matt had never done drugs cause he was afraid he would end up an alchy like his dad))
Evan Parker
>This Marvel Puzzle Quest ad Sam is a true diamond
John Perez
Imagine spending $60 to buy some Twitter art
Bentley Evans
The most magical thing about Sam is his shilling capabilities.
Jose Rogers
>Marisha playing a Bard on Force Grey I mean its not her fault since I believe she is covering for the Bard character but oh god
Jaxson Bennett
How many minutes until she says something stupid showing it's not just she's "playing Keyleth"
I call 15 minutes.
Nathan Ward
>the i've made a huge mistake face
Nolan Jones
I mean she already stumbled on the intro, so about 5-10minutes
Gavin Hughes
marisha has been practicing her vex voice
matt probably asks for it during sex
Luke Sullivan
That was a pretty great vex
Thomas Watson
Her voice acting is pretty decent so far. But everyone else is amazing too.
Matthew Johnson
Damn looking at her in that picture compared to her on stream you can tell she got sunburned to fuck.
Im shocked it wasnt a nerd wedding
Luis Phillips
She can do voices pretty well in general. It's just that Keyleth just has her voice and she ruins that further by forcing a bad "wise" twist on it
Brody Nguyen
So far my only issue is that Marisha cant stop corpsing, then again this is fucking hilarious
Luke Carter
Didn't Tal say they rolled initiative on their vows?
Jaxson Cook
Just a reminder bottom right fucks Ashley Johnson every night
Aiden Stewart
No idea
Liam Roberts
>every night once a month when she's not getting dicked in NYC
Blake Bennett
I think he stays in NY with her. She had mentioned him watching her react in real life a second before she did on stream while she skyped into sessions
Ryder Bennett
Does anyone else think Matt looks like a stereotypical Irish gang member in that hat?
Aiden Baker
Actual hats this is awesome.
Nicholas Gutierrez
100% This is a surprisingly good one-shot so far.
Nicholas Peterson
>Marisha attempts an obscure character reference >Forgets to write down her name
I literally watched that episode the other day and I forget her name
Leo Powell
Fucking Victor.
Charles Moore
Points for Victor appearance and good voice
Jack Phillips
If we make it out of this sequence without Keyleth being shoehorned in I will be a believer in this one-shot
Brody Thomas
"We don't need any martyrs in this group" -Liam
Oliver Hill
>Liam being the one to say that
Brayden Young
>Matt playing Trinket as over the top as possible
Worth it just for this
Eli Cruz
These bears plan better than Vox Machina
Logan Cook
That's an understatement.
Samuel Evans
>Vex voice
Luke Perry
fuck knows who theses people are, but I'm 100% stealing this for my next 1shot
Tyler Anderson
Just got here. Anything important happen? Has Marisha acted like Keyleth or a normal person?
Nathan Robinson
It's been pretty funny so far, I'm enjoying myself
Justin Wilson
What's happened is gold
Easton Allen
Pretty much they are trying to find honey at a festival with a honey tasting competition.
Victor the Black Powder merchant was an entrant so there is explosive honey all over the place.
So far she has been good. The game is goofy as fuck, but its been fun
Connor Brooks
Strangely enough, I'd say it's been on par with Travis's game in terms of quality.
Eli Sanchez
Marisha's been surprisingly normal, this is a good rpg for her. Also,
>Trinket going full criminal and leaving VM behind
Justin Watson
Marisha has been good so far. She is doing the world building and putting them into scenarios and letting them do the work (Like a good DM should when your players can carry)
James Martinez
This is not what I expected at all. Alright. This gives me hope for Marisha not being a shitty character next campaign
Noah Stewart
OH FUCK, when you roll a 6 on a check the DM is able to insert a twist into it.
Ian Murphy
Is it possible that Keyleth as a character was the problem the whole and not Marisha herself
She's actually doing pretty good
Adrian Richardson
>56335071 She was just as great as everyone in the Goblins one shot, with voice acting, RPing and everything. The problem is Keyleth is a terrible character and Marisha can't manage a complex class
Brandon Nelson
Yes.
Lucas Rivera
This is just me, but I've always felt that the druid class was a bad fit for Marisha. Didn't she once admit that she usually doesn't play full-casters?
Nathan Cruz
And now the bears are about to murder children
Kevin Sanders
Gives me hope for the future.
Leo Powell
>Hi Homeland Security, because now I'm on the list.
Her goblin song was the best.
Matthew Jenkins
This is what Critical Role needed
Hunter Edwards
There is a fine line between having a lisp and having a mental disorder
Evan Johnson
Vox Machina used to murder the elderly on the reg, it's a step up
Jace Allen
Yeah that was a bit brutal but otherwise it's been fun as fuck so far
Never forget when Tiberius splattered the Grandmother all over Emon
Christian Lopez
That's a Marisha Ray special
Nolan Gomez
Wow this game seems obnoxiously complicated
Kevin Ward
Damn... that maw... I can feel it gnashing through my computer screen.
Robert Martinez
>Never forget when Tiberius splattered the Grandmother all over Emon RIP Edna
Christopher Hernandez
I can’t imagine wanting playing this more than once. Same with that Mountains of Madness one last week.
Henry Cook
ever since they been showing this board game shit in the break I wanted to bend this red head chick over her board games and fuck her hard an mess up the cards and and lose pieces
John Howard
Thats fucking disgusting user! Put the pieces away first
Jeremiah Lewis
Same.
Justin Bell
>Sam One-Shot with non-CR players
neat
Wyatt Wood
Taliesin plays a good crackhead
Owen King
...
Chase Howard
This has been fucking fun as hell
Christopher Long
>actual fishing game
Cute as fuck :3c
Ryan Allen
I am legitimately surprised at how well Marisha's pulling this off desu
Isaac Parker
So this is a thing. I refuse to believe Marisha came up with this on her own.
Joseph Ward
Still doesn't beat the Grog game.
"I investigate, wait, let me roll." "Doesn't matter, it's a door."
James Wood
She probably asked Matt for general tips and advice, but the whole adventure thing seems in character for her.
Luke Robinson
wait, was this good? i skipped it because of marisha.
Leo Bailey
Very good so far.
Ayden Roberts
You better not be lying to me Veeky Forums
I hate Marisha/Keyleth, in every game I have seen, including one shots.
So if you are saying she is tolerable this game, and she isn't, I will never trust you again.
Evan Morales
There's no obvious bad points to it at the very least. More than entertaining.
Easton Wilson
Then you're probably not going to enjoy it, because you've already made up your mind.
But it legitimately was funny and entertaining. Don't put it on us if you can't relax for one episode.
Bentley Watson
when is the rebroadcast?
Justin Collins
It's tongue-in-cheek, 4th wall-leaning, setting theme-breaking, pun-filled fun. With all her bad sides, today we saw Marisha's best side.
Blake Reed
So Keyleth was the only thing holding her back.
Brandon Watson
Yeah, this one-shot was really refreshing. Props to her.
Luis Ramirez
Good Shit.
Jose Young
No man, this thread's just an elaborate hoax to get you to watch it for 4 hours looking for the magic to begin! Get out while you can!!
Nicholas Lee
Nah, her voice acting work is trash tier. Either she's trying to sound tough and ends up sounding like a smoker tranny, or she's herself/herself+QUIRKY
Logan Adams
At worst she's better than she seemed
Nathaniel Turner
I think her voice acting is in line with the vast majority of GM's, which is to say it's only average.
Jordan Sanders
She did very good last night, but im curious how she would have handled combat scenarios (As that was clearly her weakness during the campaign)
Chase Hall
This is JewishAnon levels of lolrandom cringe, except without the mechanical innovations.
Joseph Adams
She is the least experienced of all of them, by a country mile
Joshua Flores
Its because she wanted to be an actress (Matt actually met her because his friend was in the same class as her)
Seems like she has kinda given them up to be an occasional VO and run creative for G&S though
