    The way Matt says he hopes to say goodbye on his own terms, you can tell there is something else behind that sentiment. It's like he's just hoping so badly that it'll be a conscious choice they make together and not something they are forced into by unforeseen circumstances.

    You know, I never noticed that the endings of C1 and C2 were exactly the same. Sam says "what a nice story, Matt." And then Travis follows up with "Let's do it again." I'm sure the second time was intentional, but still. I really hope they continue that trend for the end of C3 too.

      You have my utmost respect. It took me literal years to catch up to being current. I started watching when they had the Kickstarter, my first live episode was C3E50.
      As much as I love it, watching it once was such an undertaking that it kind of gets in the way of watching other things. I can't imagine finding time to watch it again, as much as I want to so I can catch all of Matt's foreshadowing. So I just have gigabytes of clips downloaded on my phone to watch while I'm travelling or on breaks at work.

      Ngl, I'm 70 episode into C2 after watching C1, Ive learnt some strong lessons. The conversation Vex has with Percy about being broken really got me, it helped me heal or be on the path to healing from a lot of trauma in my life. Vax helped (I'm not sure how though) process my brothers suicide, Caleb has helped me learn that I can do shitty, terrible things but it doesnt mean I'm damned. I am redeemable. Grog helped me to realise; my strength does comefrom my freinds. Scanlan helped me learn to stop putting on a mask, to stop always hiding behind the mask of happiness, Cad is helping me figure how to slow down, enjoy the simple things and just be.

      Agreed. When i first started watching CR, I was like ... people playing a table top RP game isn't gonna be my thing ... well, I was wrong. And I've laughed and cried along the whole time. But I think the hardest part though is feeling like I won't get these kinds of friendships in my life. It's so beautiful to see people have this, and so happy for them, but it's hard to not want to wish you get that too, ya know?

    Missing the bit from the Campaign 1 wrap-up interview when the cast is all listing off their favorite moments and Marisha remarks that they feel like real memories, and Matt points out that they really are real memories and experiences. That’s one of my favorite things about these kinds of role-playing games; even though the events only exist in your mind and on paper, the events and interactions are still things you can experience and remember as if they were real because you’re playing the characters and creating the story yourself.

    You can see the toll Covid had on Matt, it might be dumb, but he looked much older in that C2 monologue than he does now. It's like these 2 Covid years took a LOT from everyone. Glad he managed to recover so well.
    I'm personally still recovering, as Covid basically cost me my 3 + years relationship (I'm from Canada, and I was with someone who lived just across the border, and we couldn't see each other for over a year because of the border restrictions, and unfortunately were unable to recover).

      "so far no one has reached his bar xD"
      I know it's tempting to do this. Trust me, I suffer from the temptation myself. But please don't compare other DM's to Matt. It's very unfair to both other DM's and Matt himself. Every DM is different. Every DM has their own style. And Matt Mercer is one of the best of the best and has an unbelievable amount of talent backed up by ALOT of support (professional support, I might add). I don't know if this comparison will get this comment removed or not, but I have always likened CR and D20 and other actual plays to porn. They are the porn of TTRPG's. They are an...unrealistic level of perfection which makes a poor experience in the real world look truly awful, but struggles (even with as amazing as they all are) to convey the sheer depth of the kind of experience it is when you get a good one. But it take time for that to become real. And it won't seem as good at first. But as it grows and you learn your group, it becomes SO SO SO much better. So please. Don't go into a TTRPG session expecting a Matt for a DM and don't expect CR results from a campaign. Session Zero's are a vital tool to ensuring that everyone has a good idea of where and how the game will work. Use them. Consent checklists are great for online play too! I highly recommend them if you're just getting to know the players/DM's you're playing with. This lets you know what is and isn't okay to explore.
      And most importantly, have fun! Enjoy the time you spend with friends, or friends-to-be. If you read this whole thing, thank you and I hope you have heaps of fun in the coming years. And if you ever need someone to bounce ideas off of, hit me up!

    I don't know what makes Matt's speech at the end of C2 more beautifully heartbreaking; the speech itself, the way he looks directly at his wife and she just nods to him and he almost breaks, or Travis's quiet little "let's do it again." These people have done something monumental, and I just hope they know how loved and appreciated they are for their storytelling, their characters, their worlds, just...everything. Their friendships are like none other. Liam's speech on storytelling and how we're reflecting it back on ourselves could not have been more perfectly stated. The emotions they evoke in us and in themselves and in each other are so raw and real it's insane. The moment with the entire crowd singing the theme song and all of their live on stage sessions are just glimpses into how much this show means to people, including them, and it shows. Their love for each other is unmatched. As a fairly new Critter, getting to know all the inside jokes like "Makin my way" is so awesome.

    Extremely well done. You even did your best editing around problems! I know this video probably will make its way (making its way!) around the cast, because it's just that good of a reminder of the good they bring to each other, the community, and the world as a whole.

      @@forresthartman2431 "In May 2023 (less than two years after Brian Foster's surprising exit from "Critical Role"), Brian W. Foster's ex-girlfriend and "Critical Role" cast member Ashley Johnson filed a restraining order against Foster. This order was issued in response to a series of alleged abuses directed at "The Last of Us" star and members of her family by Foster, which culminated in an emergency protective order being issued against Foster on May 15, 2023.
      "My family members have been the subject of his outbursts, drug use, threats, and sexual assaults," Johnson stated in the filing. "They are fearful that he is close to the edge, has the ability to murder, and will cause harm not only to me, but to them." The filing also reports that Foster once attempted to extort $150,000 from Johnson, and that Foster has committed property damage against Johnson and her family. Shortly after this restraining order was filed, "Critical Role" began deleting all content that featured Brian Foster. The company has since removed hundreds of videos from their official CZcams channel in a show of solidarity with Johnson."

    Yup I knew this would be good when I, a grown ass man, was bawling my eyes out within the first thirty seconds!
    I will never forget the night I discovered CR; I went from knowing absolutely nothing about D&D and clicking on the D&Diesel video fully expecting to laugh at Vin Diesel desperately trying to promote his shitty budget fantasy movie. And by the end I'd basically forgotten that Vin Diesel was even there, completely enthralled by Matt's story and I instantly went looking for more. Spent the entire night watching random C1 episodes and moments, trying to figure out what was going on, completely obsessed; and I vividly remember crying together with the cast over a character, that I at that point literally knew NOTHING about, that had died. And that was when I knew I had found something truly special. Few months later C2 started and I've watched EVERY episode since. I'm hitting my 5 year subscriber aniversary in January and I only wish I could have given more back to these amazing people and community that has given me so much joy!
    Thank you so much for letting me relive some of the incredible feelings I felt that night and so many times again through the years. You really managed to capture so many of the aspects of the experience that makes Critical Role so incredibly special to me and I already know I'm going to come back to this one many times!
