Happy Birthday to me, and eternal nat 20's to my sister for the best presents!

She also got me the Vox Machina d20 set. Whenever I get a new set of dice, I do a test roll right away to see how they do, and -

#seriously #TWO separate Kiki figures AND a nat 20 on her dice?! #hello my baby hello my honey etc etc #kc speaks #Critical Role #merch #dice #CR 1 #Vox Machina #Keyleth #Vex'ahlia #Pike Trickfoot #Scanlan Shorthalt #Grog Strongjaw #Percy de Rolo #Vax'ildan #lord have mercer #in case you can't read the dice: grog = 14 vex = 18 percy = 5 vax = 5 kiki = 20 pike = 16 scanlan = 5 DM = 18 #boys of vm i'm disappointed in you

I don’t know if you saw but laura actually talked about imodna potentially having a villain arc and even said “I broke the moon for us”

oh i hadn't seen that!! tbh it was just something i was thinking about at the time lmao

what makes imogen such a great character to me is she absolutely is the chosen by destiny protagonist with so much goodness in her heart that it's overflowing but at the same time if, say, laudna were to die again and it was some high stakes high pressure moment i think we all know imogen is capable of flipping that switch in an instant and saying a big fuck you to the greater good and that's so sexy and i would support it

#anonymous #ask #imogen is on keyleth levels of compelling imho #i think this is one of those things where the dice truly have all the power lmao

Actually realized ... I don’t have a good post about my other CR dice sets.  Huh.  Well .... okay, here we go then.  (What, me using this as an excuse to take some long overdue new pictures with a better camera? .... maybe.)

The Mighty Nein are the reason we’re partying today, because I CAN’T WAIT for the new show!  I mean we’ll have to, and it’s going to be a long wait, but they are worth it.

And Vox Machina still has so much goodness in store for the rest of season 2.  And maybe a season 3?  Come on guys give us that big climactic Vecna season you know we deserve.

And the Hells were showed off in their own little post that I reblogged.  So there’s more pictures of them there.  I’ve been catching up with c3 for the past week or so and having a fantastic time with them! 

I don’t have any good pictures of this, but they’re also all available as keychains now.  It was a popular option for my DSMP dice so I thought I should bring it to the other sets as well.  These pretties are kind of hard for me to advertise, because ... I can’t use any copyrighted terms over on etsy to do so.  At all.  And a lot of terms are copyright.  So, um... ya.  It’s been tricky ever since they made a big change when the first series started going into production.  A necessary change that I totally understand, but ya, makes fan-related work much trickier.  So maybe showing them off here would help other people see them.  I hope. And if you do like them, you can find them here.

I actually have lots of brand new dice listed (galaxies, a mermaid set, and Hermitcraft character20s) that I’d been working on a whole different post about but ... well, I was too excited by the news!  So I’ll post about those tomorrow.  So I don’t clog your dash with too many dice all at once.

There are like, 3 of you on here who could answer this, but still.

If Nahara could have a chat with any Critical Role character, PC or NPC, any campaign. Who should it be?

Didn't get a chance to post this yesterday (thank you, tonsillitis, hitting JUST in time for Christmas 🙃), but Happy Winter's Crest, everybody! And once again, eternal Nat 20's for my sister:

She also got me a shit ton of dice.

SO excited for the release of the new M9 dice!!!  Sadly, my reaction was:

NOTT DICE YESSsss.... these are very similar to the Keyleth dice I already own, I can’t justify buying two sets that are so similar that they fill the same ‘need’.

BEAU DICE YESSssss..... They’re....blue.  Like, almost like JUST blue.  .... I can’t justify buying a set of dice that I don’t find exciting just because I love the PC.

FJORD DICE YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.  *buys*

#don't get me wrong #the nott dice are awesome #but for me it's a one or the other choice #and i already have (and love) the keyleth dice #now i'm just impatiently waiting for the caleb dice

[luckthebard]

I’ve been thinking about this for a while but the most recent round of Orym slander on twitter and some of the player assumptions accompanying it are making me finally write this:

Liam is not a “glutton for tragedy”. He just likes emotionally intense storytelling, and is actually very drawn to hopeful endings.

I am so beyond exhausted of seeing that take. Liam did not plan for Vax’s tragic ending. Vax’s ending was a result of dice rolls that Liam honored because he’s always true to the emotional journey of his characters. Caleb, who so many people cite as tragic, has a happy ending. He lets go of his selfish and borderline impossible plans and settles down and achieves his childhood dream and finally makes some peace with his past. Orym is grieving, sure, but he’s focused on his job and loves his friends and wants to help people and is finally getting on with things. The insistence he’s “going dark” or going to “take a tragic turn” seems to mostly be coming from this assumption that Liam always chooses tragedy which just isn’t true.

I think the level to which Liam allows his characters to openly express grief and deal with very difficult emotions has led to this idea his characters are “sad” but prior to disintegration Vax’s ending was building to an at-peace happily-ever-after with Keyleth. He didn’t choose to have Vax die, the dice did, so Liam honored that. This would be like claiming Taliesin always makes tragic characters because he had Molly stay dead and very nearly had Percy not come back one time after the dice led to their deaths. Caleb has a tragic backstory, sure, but his journey and ending are incredibly hopeful and positive.

Orym’s really out there being a little halfling on an adventure as if Merry Brandybuck stepped into D&D and people are acting like he’s destined for a tragic downfall just because Liam’s an openly emotional player.

Putting Terms on the High Shelf: Main Character Syndrome

As I'm watching C2, one thing I've noticed about Caleb's various sidebars to talk to different people is that he's still very much involving them—the conversations reveal various different priorities not just for Caleb, but for the people he's talking with. Liam's RP is often geared toward encouraging character work out of the other players at the table; it's something you see with Vax early on, and it's very present with Caleb.

So I find the accusations and warnings of Liam having Main Character Syndrome, which started during C1 but really ramped up in C2, to be rather shallow. Look at the contrast between the tables during this:

and this:

In C1x27, Orion adds pressure to the cast's already-frayed nerves with him, compounded from previous incidents of bad behavior, by taking up several minutes of time purely to himself—his only interaction with anyone else at the table is to ask Keyleth for help with alchemy mechanics (fun fact, early Keyleth was into alchemy!). This included:

An attempt to buy 1500 mirrors to build a light array;

A request to his father to send in his home country's army to Whitestone; and

An attempt to combine a fog spell and a sleep spell after being told point blank that it was mechanically impossible

This was all very obviously an attempt to make himself the hero in what is clearly set up to be a Percy-centric arc. (Worth noting, for the record, is that up to this point Percy had actually had very little focus and largely kept himself in the background, while Tiberius had been in focus for most of the show's run up to that point.) Laura snarks that he's like the giant eagles in Lord of the Rings and can just do everything, and if you actually watch the clip that I've giffed above, Travis's tone is genuinely aggravated. This, by the way, is all after Tiberius was notably not present for Percy revealing his backstory to the rest of the party in episode 24; while everyone else voiced concerns for him and went down to his workshop to check on him, Tiberius largely ignored this and went off to do his own business.

That is a selfish player. That is selfish behavior and a clear example of someone who thinks the story should revolve around them. There are several reasons Orion was asked to leave, not just because he fudged his dice rolls.

C2x62 is a completely different story. None of the conversations Caleb has within that episode are just a way for Caleb to gain information; he's engaging with what the other people are doing. When he asks Nott and Jester about the letter they wrote to Astrid, he reveals a little about himself—something he is particularly reluctant to do with Jester—and they are given an opportunity to respond. His conversation with Beau gives time for both of them to check in on each other and where they're at and lets Beau give her own perspective on the politics of the Empire, the Cobalt Soul, and Xhorhas. The discussion with Fjord lets them both level with each other a little and does more work for Fjord's character, letting him open up about his insecurities and issues, than it does for Caleb's. Caleb is still initiating these conversations and he still gets something out of them, but both the players and the audience still get the benefit of the other characters pushing and pulling against that in response.

Like many terms that get thrown around in this circle ("player agency", "manipulating", "metagaming", "going dark", to name a few), Main Character Syndrome has been so misconstrued and warped to fit a heavily biased perspective as to be almost meaningless. Main Character Syndrome is not when a character initiates a lot of conversations, even if you personally don't like the conversations for whatever reason. Main Character Syndrome is not when a character chooses to take a risk or push a big red button, even if you personally don't like the choice for whatever reason. Main Character Syndrome is not when a character has an arc or aspect of lore heavily focused on them, even if you personally don't like the character for whatever reason. (Particularly considering that arc focus is entirely out of the player's control; Taliesin, Liam, and Laura did not in fact force Matt to focus a significant portion of each campaign's lore on Percy, Caleb, or Imogen's backstories respectively.)

Main Character Syndrome is specifically about player selfishness—it's a player inserting their character into scenes or roles where they do not logically belong in order to make them the center of the story, as we see with the example of Tiberius. The camaraderie at the current table versus what was going on back in 2015 does not suggest that anyone currently sees anyone else like that; everyone is laughing at the jokes made at someone's expense, and everyone is getting something to do. Your favorite character may not always be flashy or in focus all the time, but then again, you wouldn't want them to have Main Character Syndrome, would you?
