What is Critical Role?

Critical Role is a group of nerdy-ass voice actors who sit around and play Dungeons & Dragons.

Streams every Thursday at 7pm PT and then rebroadcasts the following Friday at 12am and 9am PT on Twitch.

I'm posting this here because Geek and Sundry have de-listed the video and it is a brilliant example of how to run a one-shot. Also, Liam's DM style is enthralling to watch.

Thanks for posting! I didn’t know G&S delisted it. One of my favorite one shots for sure! Love his style of GMing. Seems more relaxed than Matt’s

Just want to add this wiki page that I’ve been using to find all CR specials: https://criticalrole.fandom.com/wiki/Specials

That wiki is really cool to see! And, sadly, many may remember but will never have access too the CR specials. That's why I posted this. The whole thing is a very well crafted love song to a few friends that could be there. I'd pay real money to sit at a table with Liam as the DM.

Excellent! Liam's narration to paint a scene is quite effective, which makes sense as he was already a director when crossing paths with Matt Mercer the first time.
I've really enjoyed the subtleties in Liam's creative choices. For example: C3E91 "True Heroism". This casual reference to a Beastie Boys song didn't need emphasis and instead becomes a little secret that you have to pay attention for, which makes it more fun for me.
