#yes I know Clarota betrays them (extreme rip) so I was paying attention to their insight checks

[theregoesmylurkerstatus]

Okay, have to end it there for today, folks! Thoughts so far are mostly 1) Matt continues to impress with his acting and poker face right from the beginning (ah, years of being both a DM and a voice actor...) and 2), this remains true in campaign 2 as well -- I really like how Matt handles insight checks! He tells them what they notice, what they can discern about the character and what was said, without just telling them what is and isn't true, generally speaking. It's just really cool that Matt (and the cast in general, honestly) pay more attention to the story-telling, roleplaying aspect of it rather than reducing it all to "you win/lose this roll" mechanics.

Not sure when I'll finish this episode, but hopefully it won't be TOO long!

#critical role #campaign 1 #c1e04 #ramblings #yes I know Clarota betrays them (extreme rip) so I was paying attention to their insight checks #I have no idea when/how he betrays them so I'll be curious to learn whether he was pulling a long con or whether he turned on them! #also noticed this similar thing #in that right from the beginning the cast (specifically liam is who made me notice) #don't just say 'i use my attack action' #they say 'i take my dagger and plunge it into his neck' #very good description aiding the DM's narration thank you sir
