  • What was it like returning to the characters of Vox Machina? Critical Role stars Matthew Mercer (Sylas Briarwood), Marisha Ray (Keyleth), and Ashley Johnson (Pike Trickfoot) sit down with Dan Casey to discuss their new animated series, The Legend of Vox Machina, the difference between filming their first episode of Critical Role vs the last day recording for the animated series, and Mercer’s desire to voice all the NPC’s on today's episode of Nerdist Now!

    The question everyone wants to know is this: Who plays Victor the black powder merchant?

      Worth noting: Victor may not be in the show. At least, he may not be in the episodes that have been greenlit. We're getting the original pre-stream special before we jump past all the Kraghammer/Vasselheim business and directly to the Briarwood Arc. Victor doesn't actually appear in the Briarwood Arc. His debut is _right_ before the episode called The Feast which is where we first hear about the Briarwoods. Then we don't actually see Victor again until the Chroma conclave and the search for the Vestiges of Divergence.

      It’s just a tv show that they created, ffs.
      It’s also entirely possible that the parts they got, Mercer (while creating NPCs) or the team(during the writing sessions) based the characters on literally two of the closest children they know.
      I know for a fact Riegal consistently asks his children for input. He talks about it all the time. Do you even pay attention?

Also that’s his wife, not just “some girlfriend” and even if she were that doesn’t invalidate her position as a player at a table. She’s been doing just fine without your approval.
