Did you know Mighty Nein is getting an animated series
@@SilverScribe85 I sure do! Can't wait to react to it!
I have no doubt it will look and feel as awesome as Vox Machina.
I'm curious as to how the Nein will all look in the Titmouse art style
Are you returning to this series at any point? Or because it’s being animated did you stop?
@@XxXxCOOKXxXx I'll most likely continue it until the show comes out. I doubt I'll get far into the narrative for it to be an issue
10 copper = 1 silver
10 silver = 1 gold
10 gold = 1 platinum.
Treat platinum like hundred dollar bills.
Could've done that simpler.
Silver = 1$
Gold = 10$
Platinum = 100$
Copper is an insult.
@@thomasdahlberg5920 and electrum is NEVER used lol.
A tiefling is a race of demon-kin with horns and a tail. Molly, Jester and Zahra are all tieflings.
Not always a tail. Plenty of tieflings just look like people with horns and weird colored skin.
All of the players, I think, did like a Session 0 in private where they tried out their characters before going on livestream. The introductions followed up from those offscreen adventures. So Liam and Sam did one together, Travis, Laura, and Marisha did one together, not sure if Taliesin and Ashley did one together. Matt pre=planned the intros, but otherwise, no they're just riffing off each other
Absolutely each player has there own secrets that Matt knows all about. Often a good player will leave room in there background to let the DM play around and surprise the player with unknown backstop points, but revealing se reps in character with the DM is some of the best times
They talk about their characters with Matt, and sometimes with each other (Nott and Caleb for instance) but mostly they are just extremely talented actors and improvisers.
Sam always wears really over the top stuff for liveshows too, can't wait for you to get to some of those
Love that you're reacting to the campaign.
The episodes have great subtitles that catch those softer comments so you should turn them on. They're really helpful.
Sam's it's on comment is because they are voice actors and doing accents is supposed to be their thing. It's fun to hear where they start and where they ended up.
Matt works with each person before the campaign starts to make their character with them. They hand him ideas and stuff they want to do and he makes it work unless it would break the world. If something does break the world Matt works with them to get what they want but in a different way. Matt then takes what he gives them and puts his own twist on it. They've been playing together long enough and trust him enough to do this.
They played a session zero at home without the cameras to get used to their new characters. It takes the pressure off of having others watch. Tal and Ashley didn't get one though because of how busy she was. It does seem like Tal and Matt at least talked about Molly. Every other group got a mini-quest and when we start it was the morning after.
Agree about the captions, and it's important to know that part way through this campaign (I think around the 1/3 mark?) they upgraded from auto captions to human stenography, so the caption quality improves dramatically at that point. Their stenographer must be heroic
@@lipsum42 The captions do get way better! (Jester voice) Technicallyyy they did have human captioners before, but it was all done by volunteers, who weren't necessarily professional transcribers. Partway through c2 they switched to a professional service, with editing done by a dedicated team, some of whom were volunteer transcribers before. So the jump in quality isn't automatic -> human, it's volunteers -> professionals :)
I just always like to shout out the volunteers who did that service for years, because I was part of it! Not hugely involved, because there was an enormous team and by a certain point, so many people wanted to help that you had to fight to claim a section to caption! We certainly didn't get everything perfect but it was all done with love
You are actually correct… it is your turn to roll… the original before Sam added some melody and lyrics 😊
19:27
By "Oh yeah mfs, it's on" he was refering to the accent he was putting on - sort of a "Yeah, look at me, I bet you weren't expecting me to sound like this, beat that"
He's said, often and defensively, "I can't DO accents!" so this is a stretch for him!
He's surrounded by talented voice actors, and his strength lies with advertising copy, musical talent, and scriptwriting and improv. Sam Scanlan Riegel, the m'of'cking LEGEND.
Glad to see someone new get into the actual campaigns, there's not a lot of reactors that do stuff beyond the animated series
Considering all the hours you have to invest in watching the actual campaign, I get it. But it is cool to see some diving in
@@kateorgera5907 It's not that much. You can watch all 4 campaigns in less than 2 months...
as long as you don't eat, sleep, work, or do anything else but watch CR. 🤣
@@cryofpaine I can confirm, never doing that again... it was my binge of all of season 2 when I first saw them lol. uncle introduced me to them at the start of a 2 week stay with him, and he was dazed and confused when I finished it before I left.
Hey everyone! The support that I've been getting with this series is already INSANE for how small of a channel I have. I gained like 20 subs in a day which is NUTS for me! I want you all to know that I appreciate it so much! Keep the support and positive vibes coming! Continue sharing these videos around and liking them! If this continues all the way through episode 3, I'll consider going through as much of the campaign as I can before the Mighty Nein show drops! Again, THANK YOU! Bidet!
damn u talk too much stop pausing and just watch
Hell Yeah, i think your one of the first ones on CZcams to actually react to a Campaign. Really looking forward to this :)
Only other one I know of is Viewmaster's Reactions, but happy for you, Joe. I think you've caught the bug
All ages of geek has also started one though it's postponed atm
nope
The opening credits are meant to be a homage the 1970s (when D&D was released), which explains the clothing and set.
very happy that you started watching an actual campaign, even more so happy that its The Mighty Nein.
It is common to think of the coins as platinum $100 gold $10 silver $1 and copper being like dimes
One gold piece is what a skilled artisan can earn from a day's wages. It's way more than a dollar; it's somewhere between $100 and $300 USD.
Currency Breakdown. 10 Copper = 1 Silver, 10 Silver = 1 Gold, 10 Gold = 1 Platinum. There is also one that is never used which is electrum. mostly because it's a different division (2 Electrum = 1 Gold).
it's matt, but it's the case that most of these characters had little session 0's to be ready to play with each other. most of the dialogues are improv.
There are a couple inside jokes in that opening. One of them is that talison is always joked around as being 2,000-year-old vampire. Another is Sam coming in late, because in campaign one he did that a lot.
Origins is a comic series. They are working now on completing a Mighty Nein Origins series, each focusinf lm different characfer.
They each played a lvl 1 game with Matt before the stream to 'feel out' their new characters and classes. This is not explicit, but it helps to fill in what the characters were up to in the hours and days before meeting and may get referred to obliquely such as Nott and Caleb having a bad day and Nott nearly getting caught. Jester Beau and Fjord getting paid for a monster hunt. These events are just contextual for the characters to arrive at this point: staying in this in together. So yes, in that sense contrived, but as for the cast interacting and Matt jumping in, that was all improv.
Awesome! Thank you for posting, so excited for you to see all of the Mighty Nein shenanigans. All the videos have subtitles as well if you need them! This campaign actually helped me so much with my English, I watched it all with the subtitles, bc sometimes there's a lot going on at once 😅
Also sometimes they say something under their breath so it’s so much easier with subtitles 😂
Depending on your character background and class also influences how much gold you start with when you start a campaign, so if you where from a rich family you would have more gold than a wizard who lived a modest or poor life obviously you get more gold throughout the games you play and you decide how to split it with the group as you see fit
Origins are all the player's backstories. A little bit of Vox, and M9. Shadows of Mordor. (Typing as I watch) There is a thing called session 0. You create your character. You can decide to pair up with someone then, or be a loner from where ever and you don't have to go as deep as these guys, but they're doing this to entertain and have fun, so their stories are deeper than most. AND REMEMBER, these are voice actors so they do more of the acting out of their characters, role-playing.
Tiefling i.4pcdn.org/tg/1518280319202.pdf There is an update for them in the Monsters of the Multiverse book.
It's raining outside, it's saturday and I'm gonna binge watch this playlist now :]
Sounds like a great time on a rainy day. Its snowing by me. But yeah, have a relaxing day and stay warm
Oh snap, glad to see you're finally taking the deep dive! Been subbed for a while and it's been cool to see you react to all the other stuff so I'm glad you're starting an actual campaign. The Nein are awesome, they're a great campaign to start with.
Looking forward to the next part!
So glad they announced the animated series coming soon
usually money is base 10. 10 copper to a silver, 10 silver to a gold. However, that is entirely up to DM and group preference
The greatness of a dnd session comes when everyone works together (not necessarily in character, but as players) to create a cohesive story. Such as when Liam and Sam's characters are talking about food and Matt uses that narrative to transition the scene to a more open place where more can happen.
You mentioned Dark Horse Comics, and you're right, they've been bringing amazing stories since the 1990's (old comic geek here!)
One of their earliest successes was The Sandman comic, by master storyteller Neil Gaiman.
I don't see it in your playlist, but if you haven't seen it and are looking for something to react to, I would definitely recommend the first season, recently on Netflix! Neil himself oversaw it, and the adaptation was wonderful. Looking forward to Season 2!
Neil's stories definitely influenced Matt's storytelling, and he gifted Matt & Marisha a signed copy of the series as a wedding gift!
Yessss. You’re watching M9!!!
Matt definitively has a plan for getting the players together but as a DM he improvises much of it as do the players since neither side really knows what the other are going to do.
miniatures mostly help you to see who's who. they did a Red Nose Day special with Stephen Colbert that didn't even bother with minis or a map cos it was just 1 guy. otherwise you could do it with chess pieces.
Nice...I'm excited for you to start watching and I understand the choice of what campaign, when, etc. had to be difficult to make with all the options out. ENJOY, CRITTER!!
So, just watching bit by bit but the introduction can be done a few different ways for any game, but what Matt seems to do is bring people in, introducing the new characters to each other in smaller sections, so before the first session (this one) he has a "session 0" to kind of introduce the tone of the setting, make sure the players are good with what they picked to play, and also get a jump start with them knowing at least 1 other character. So, like Molly & Yasha, Caleb & Nott, then Jester, Fjord & Beau all know each other separately...it makes the "meeting in a tavern" go way more smoothly.
FYI: I'm a little hard of hearing & I find that CR's subtitles are VERY good, and they even make sure the livestreams are subtitled well, so it may help to watch with subs...which is sort of ironic...because they would likely argue dubs are better. 😂 I'll see myself out.
At the time I recorded my reactions from episodes 1-3, I don't believe I turned on captions. I apologize. However, if I continue the campaign, I'll be sure to put captions on. Thank you for bringing that to my attention and for all of the info in general!
Will you still watch these after episode 3 now that the Mighty Nein Animated Series has been announced...?
Also... There will be SOME unintentional spoilers for Vox Machina. I remember Liam slips up once and it's pretty big... So, for your safety, MAYBE skip the intro ads? They're great and hilarious, but also a bit of a threat...
I know people have answered the main question on miniatures, but! The Geek and Sundry channel has a series called Painter's Guild where, basically, Will Friedle learns to do just that and we can learn along with him. Matt is the guest teacher for the first few episodes.
Yo, Joe. Basics on the coin? The silvers are dimes, gold pieces a dollar. Let's go, bro!
Keep watching season 2, so many twists.
I envy you... you get to watch this for the first time
I'm happy that I get to experience it alongside you though. Even though you know what'll happen, I appreciate you following me on my journey.
Yes, Miniatures, are not required, but many people like using them for as you said for immersion. I like to use them for spatial reference. Painting them can be a hobby all itself, but you can buy pre-painted miniatures. There are also thousands of video on how to paint and some modern techniques that can help you get miniatures on the table relatively quickly. But miniature painting can be an investment, the deeper and deeper you get in. And yes practice will improve your quality, but don't let yourself be afraid of that, just get stuck in.
Oh this is great that you are including us in your experience\viewing. Great to get your reactions and viewpoints.
I know a lot of people advise starting with campaign 2, or skipping the first 28 episodes of campaign 1. I disagree. It's a lot easier to start with the early cringe than to try and go back to it. It set up a lot of things that you see later in campaign 1, and there's a charm to those early episodes, despite the technical (and personnel) problems. Since you're watching the animated series, it's interesting to see the differences between the series and the campaign. And to see the cast reactions to those iconic moments. Honestly, that's the part of the campaign that you miss out on most by just watching the animated series. There are so many moments that were made iconic because of how the cast reacted.
To answer a few questions, the opening theme song was a disco-fied version of their original theme song, written by Jason Charles Miller. They didn't do "Your Turn To Roll" until they got the animated opening.
So Sam's "it's on" comment is about the ridiculousness of his voice choice for Nott. No, this is pretty much all improved. They're all just that good at picking up cues and jumping into openings that are provided by the other players. The only thing that might be more scripted is Matt's introduction setting up the world and the setting for this campaign. And the way that they set it up, there are usually a couple groups (Nott and Caleb; Fjord, Jester, and Beau; and Molly and Yasha). The people in those groups know each other, but they don't know the people in the other groups. So this episode is them meeting each other.
Yo, Joe. Let's effing go!
so excited to see this! a lot has been answered by other commenters, but I want to say to not watch the Your Turn to Roll video again, it contains some pretty massive spoilers. The DnD Beyond add might be better to visualize the characters, and eventually you'll start seeing official character art in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Vox Machina Origins comics cover the events of their home game (pre-stream). There are also Mighty Nein Origins that show the events of the player's session zeros where they play alone or as a smaller group to flesh out the backstories with Matt.
subscribed to see your reaction to the shenanigans to come. You're in for a wild ride :)
subscribed because Beau is your favorite character
lol thank you
Will the full episodes be on patron? Because I'll definitly subscribe if then.
Each part will be uploaded here for everyone to see.
@@DiggityBippityTV oh! Alright that's cool
@@deranged_dragon9471 yeah, critical role does NOT like their content being put behind a paywall, generally.... So giving patrons Early Access is an okay thing to do but EXCLUSIVE paywalled reactions to their content... They do not like to happen.
@AnxietyIsMyMood yeahhh a certain person who is reacting to the campaign did that but I knew they didn't like that. Which is why I was just asking.
@@deranged_dragon9471 yeah, unfortunately multiple people telling this individual that Critical Role does not like exclusive paywalled reactions to their content.... Didn't stop them from still doing that, unfortunately.
But yeah the cast has been vocal in the past about not liking exclusive paywalled content. I have a feeling it might have something to do with Matts upbringing, maybe? As he grew up very poor, unfortunately, and so I think he fully understands the immense value that free entertainment has... Or maybe the company is just very cool people 🤷♀️ It doesn't mean that people can't still advertise their patreon account in reactions and give patrons rewards for being patrons like Early Access to stuff... But yeah, they don't like their stuff paywalled... the only time they have ever had paywalled content is when they were partnered with Alpha and I think they were kind of forced into that because Geek & Sundry was working with Alpha... And their Alpha content was also branching off of their talk show and not their main show so maybe that was slightly better. Idk. But all of this is purely speculation on my part...none of the cast have gone into detail about why they don't love it...just that they don't.
Starting campaign 2 is a huge undertaking but worth it! its one of my favorite pieces of fiction ever i hope u enjoy it.
You're not picking on Liam's character because he is pusposefully hard to pay attention to
Yes, Mollymauk and Yasha are carnies (carnival workers). The term you're looking for with Molly would be ringmaster, but he's not the ringmaster. He's more the type to do the initial advertising. Yasha isn't really vampiric looking. Think more Scandinavian/Slavic/Eastern European.
Tieflings are individuals with demon/devil/etc blood in their ancestry, and it changes how they look. Often they have horns and tails, sometimes hooves, but there's always a change to their skin tone that reflects their ancestry.
Goblins and most "monstrous" species aren't trusted in most fantasy settings. Especially in this location, you don't want to advertise if you're one of those races.
TECHNICALLY, the term you want is "barker", which refers to the person who does the "come one, come all" type of word-of-mouth advertising.
HERE WE GO
We in there!
camp 1 is way better as is camp 3
marisha is the absolute worst in this camp
You're entitled to your opinion. So far I'm having a lot of fun seeing her take on a completely different kind of character.
please, travis didnt know wtf to do with fjord
