Well fuck. No spoilers, but that was a hell of a show! Hope everyone at home tomorrow enjoys it as much as we did tonight, and maybe my voice will have come back by then... 😎
Today I learned I will never be able to explain to a non-critter how incredibly tense and wonderful and terrifying and absolutely batshit crazy it is to actually be in the room and watch this amazing cast roleplay and roll their dice.
Like, the way we all cheered and clapped loudly and passionately when someone rolled a nat20 or said something cool?
I might not understand a single thing about soccer, but boy oh boy do I get the whole nailbitingly tense and pure experience of rooting for your team.
I'm still planning on a cloud (maybe it's the less sleep the night before catching up to me) but holt shit you guys, I have not enough words, how can I say it more clearly that
THE LIVE SHOW WAS AMAZING !!
We arrived at 5.20pm, the doors were opening at 5pm, so the queue was already immense, but it did not matter because the energy was everything. To see so many people dressed up with CR t-shirts and skirts and merch, and cosplayers, anf just so many people being a live fandom, and I was a part of it... It's the dream.
Seeing an episode live on Twitch and live-blogging it gives me a sense of community, but that feeling was amped up to 2000% last night. Hearing the crowd roar the theme song, applaud, scream "NEIN !!!", gasp audibly like we were one person...
And the production side was amazing as well (except for a few and small unfortunate mic incidents), the lights, the decor of the stage, the fucking camera work with ~dramatic~ zooms and close-ups !!! A big round of applause for the production team, please.
To those who were not there : you are in for a ride, trust me.
I need to scream about the Mighty Nein but I don't want to spoil so let me just queue my post and yell into oblivion for 24 hours or so... (spoilers under the break, I think I timed it so yall should have seen it all, I hope?)
Firstly Daniel Sloss smashed it as announcer and Aggy - did he somehow beat out Spurt as quickest guest PC death??
Also the outfits, Marisha Ray and Ashley Johnson have killed this poor little lesbian. And Sam Motherfucking Riegel exceeding expectations as usual
Shoutout to the guy next to me (sorry didn't catch your name) in Section D who totally called it on Luc not Veth going with the Nein, how old is this boy still no idea
The absolute stress of the entire room when IckyThong threatened Hot Boi
Then that whole combat, the most stressful experience ever, some twisted shit by one Matthew Mercer.
And holy Shit Yasha over 100 damage in a single hit, how the holy fuck!
And then my girl Beau coming in with the HDYWTDT! And a natural fucking 20!
Also yes BeauYasha the apogee solstice is definitely the time to bring up exploring things, the spirit of Laudna possessing Marisha to say Imogen is hot - we get it
so.. will anyone be live blogging/posting/tweeting from the critical role live show at wembley? :>
alternatively, does anyone know when the show will be uploaded to yt?
