Critical Role

[popkin16]

I finished campaign 1 of Critical Role last night. It's taken me a year, but I got to the end. For those who don't know, Critical Role is - in the words of Matt Mercer - "a bunch of nerdy-ass voice actors playing Dungeons & Dragons." There are 115 episodes, and the length of each episode ranges from 2 hours to 5 hours. It has canon bisexual characters, agender characters, dragons, Gods, sad moments, hilarious moments...

I feel like I should commemorate the time I spent with these characters, this show, even if nobody else cares. I've never cried so hard at a final episode as I did the one last night. I cried so hard I started to get dizzy and had to drink some water, and gave myself a migraine. But it's been a worthy, wild ride.

I'm going to take a bit before I start campaign 2. Saying goodbye is hard.

I’ve heard lots of good things about it but damn, those episodes are loooooong.

Oh man, I know. It took me a year to watch 115 episodes. And often you have to watch 2 hours of video before you reach the break (they take one 10 minute break per episode, which can act as a natural stopping point for viewers).

You could always start with campaign 2, which only has 27 or so episodes. Still super long episodes, but you'll catch up faster, lol.
