- Monday the 4th of March @CriticalRole launched a kick-starter campaign to reach $750,000 in 45 days, less than 24 hours later they had: $3,888,435 and there is still another 44 days left. All Stretch targets have been exceeded so new ones were invented with the help of Twitch Chat.
Well done Matt Mercer and everyone at Critical Role, this will be a pivotal moment in your history, Songs will be sung, Statues crafted and honors bestowed.
You can help contribute to this amazing form of entertainment here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

Critical Role and/Or Geek and Sundry often monetize my highlight clips automatically through CZcams. This helps more Critters be born and continues to help fund the production of Critical Role and all the fun they bring to us. So clicking an advert or watching for a while can benefit all of Exandria. Which is a good thing as it needs all the help it can get with the Mighty Nein running amok.

I started this as a way to show CR to friends who could not manage the 4 hour episodes, It has now gathered momentum where I feel an obligation to all those that watch to continue to provide highlights of this magnificent creation and artwork that is Critical Role. The entire ethos of CR has always been to help each other and support each other, regardless of which pigeonhole you wish to define life with. We all love these nerdy ass voice actors and everything that Critical Role has come to stand for. We are all Critters.
Is it Thursday yet? - Hry
This clip got so much Critter love that it broke my YT analytics page lol
"Critters got pride. [...] FUCK your [analytics page]!"
Was this clip from a live stream?
@@sugarm1860 Yes, they held a Q&A on Monday night (same day they launched the Kickstarter campaign).
@@strider2175 was this on CZcams or Twitch? I'm so mad I missed this now!
@@sugarm1860 It should be on CZcams after 36 hours have passed from the livestream (according to Critrole mods)
remember when they decided to sell shirts and they were like "we only made like 100, we dont really expect any of you to buy them. but please feel free if you want to" and then they were sold out before Marisha could finish the add read.
Someone needs to make a video of all the clips of them being amazed by Critters. From the beginning where the couldn't even understand why we would want to send them pizza to the studio, to the shirts selling out before they could get down advertising them, to the first of the gifts being sent, and the fan art beginnings, I'm sure there were some more merchandise or other goals I missed too.
Marisha was almost in tears that day.
@@TommyTheCat83 which ep was that?
@@Logan_Baron you know what.... I might do this....
@@Sky-mh1vh YEEEEEEEES!!
The CR Team: We would like $750,000 to make this show.
The CR Fans: That is, respectfully, a paltry sum.
If you didn't hear that last like in Pumat Sol's voice, you're lying.
Stretch goal idea: a One-Shot where everyone except Matt shares DM duties, while Matt plays 5 characters on his own.
Call it eloR lacitirC
Please.
Best idea ever.... Lol
That sounds horrible I love it
*6 voices speak simultaneously*
"What do you want to do Matt?"
*Matt looks nervous*
"I uhh... I go into the cave."
*6 sets of dice roll, then the voices speak again*
"Roll Initative, Matt."
I think maybe they underestimated how badly we want a cartoon.
Just- just a little.
@@SpectralArchivist "FUCK YOUR STRETCH GOALS!" is pretty much word for word what every Critter said in the first 24 hours
@@nuru666 not "Fuck your stretch goals", but more of "MORE!!! GIVE US MORE!!!!"
These animated shorts on CZcams definitely helped I think.
They are kinda the reason I started to watch
Dude congrats on 666 likes man that’s hella cool
Critical Role: "Let's see if we can raise $750,000. Do you think 45 days is enough?"
Critters: "You've got to get those numbers up! Those are rookie numbers!"
And to think, no production company wanted to take a chance on their $750,000 budget. They don't know what they missed out on.
they underestimated the critter collective just like MCM
@Svellsongur They're relics of the past. TV is such an antiquated thing. I cut the cable 10 years ago, I can't even remember what its like to watch TV.
hheheehhehehehehehe
I'm kind of glad they got to do this independently and on their own terms, honestly.
I doubt they missed that honestly. I think the team just wanted to keep control of it all. I doubt anyone could have planned to make this much this quickly.
Wow, they haven't underestimated critters this badly since the time they only ordered 100 t-shirts...
“We didn’t even finish telling you people...!!!”
@@mickeysmagic89Give us a chance to finish our sentences first

It is finally time for us to ask them. How do you want to do this!
They rolled 187 consecutive Natural 20's in Performance checks so far, so yeah. They *really* get to decide how to do this.
Look at that slot-like likes!!
5:04 Sam: "We could show the divergence-"
Matt: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I love how the infinite possibilities just made him bluescreen into a million mile stare and “I can see forever”
"You think we can get enough to buy Ashley back from Blindspot?"

44 days left. Buddy you have no idea. They 100% are going to have the funds to make a theatrical release quality film. As well as all their current goals! Critical role is going to be insane after this.
10 part miniseries of 90 minute episodes.
Actually, based on comments, each additional 22 minutes is *another episode of a series*
Rick Mulders no! Series all the way for this.
@@OldSchoolGM94 So roughly ten times the amount that they have...
12mil - vax resurrected, travis stays overnight in a haunted house, blindspot moves filming to la
Omfg blind spot moves to la yes
The 10 mil has Travis in a haunted house
Sam Ziegelman and we unlocked it. Damn.
Kate Kursive we at 11.3 million
Make it a maze- he moves too fast
Sitting at poker table.
CR we put 75,000
Critter's okay we see your 75,000 and raise you 4 million
-Laughs- As beautiful as that image is, I'd playfully argue that the critters have simply seen the minimum bet at said table was 750k and are at the atm/teller liquidating their assets with the intent of swaggering over to said table garbed in "High-Roller Mode".
5:04 coming back for another watch and seeing matts realization that all the lore he worked so hard on could potentially get animated and explained in a triple A quality animation is priceless
Our name is Legion for we are many. - The Critter hivemind
Making us hate you is a DC 30
SpartanXIII I mean the only way I think anyone would hate them is if they run away with the money, which is not even on the crit fail table
Our gods show us kickstarter , we make it happen !
Nice Red Dwarf reference
I love Travis' "I feel like we insulted the critters by going here are our stretch goals, and they just went: *kick* Fuck your stretch goals!" - It really sums up the critters, we are "Ride or die" in the most intense loving way, just look at the fact that "The critter hug of death" is a thing. There are so many passionate critters that we fucking crash websites, even Kickstarter couldn't keep up
*Kicks down wall
"What stretch goals??"
Too accurate 😂
Well we all know Vox Machine have historically had serious problems with doors so we decided to boot down a wall for them instead 👍😋
@@RoxyGotMoxy. the ultimate challenge in D&d an inanimate object.
To quote Matt Colville in the aftermath of his unexpectedly successful kickstarter...
"Eep."
What video was that?
I just checked the kickstarter, he asked for 50k, and got 2.1 million, not bad.
Found it czcams.com/video/F1lFf2SE09g/video.html
Matt:"We need money for..."
Everyone: roll a dex save
Matt:...... Nat 1, why?
Proceeds to get buried under a mountain of money...
Vox Machina managed to get through a funding DOOR? That's a first.
Well played. 👏
Here is a stretch goal idea: a whole day session like you had before the internet show, you said you missed those sessions.
Just a webcam at someones home, snacks and drinks and they have to take the webcam around to show some sick dice rolls.
Damn, i would love that "old school" style of a stream!
Only problem I have with that is I'm going to be "sick" for work on that day. I mean it's acceptable lol
YAAAAAAASSSSS
I would love this as well! Thought about it while the chat was brainstorming last night, I'd love to see an old school chill session for like 6 or 7 hours, minimalistic setup
V3loCiTy123 (
I love how everyone can hold together until Travis breaks. His boundless enthusiasm is so infectious.
His laugh needs to be recognized by WHO and the CDC as infectious and highly contagious, because he starts laughing like that everyone loses it.
The botched Boulder, Parchment, Shears threeway for example, or the "I might have misinterpreted your actions" incident.
critical role: so we need aobut 750.000$ i think we can make that in 45days
critters: HERE IS 5MIL$ within 24hours
Wow remember back when they sold 15 shirts within 30 seconds. This was that, but on a nuclear scale XD THE SIGNS WERE THERE!
Wasnt it more than 15? I should probably rewatch
@@nix207 iirc about 100 or so... they still went out after like 2 minutes
THIS FELT THE SAME. I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!
Vendal89 yup i just rewatched. They were finishing the announcement when they realized they sold out
Destroy the fund button go beyond to 10 million
Critters: * screaming in super saiyan *
The group: holy shit. It just keeps rising. Its like there's no end to their power!
Critters as of March 5th: And this...is to go even further beyond. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Next stretch goal: Matthew Mercer runs for president
Virgin Drill Sergeant If Matt was President he wouldn’t have the time to DM is that what you really want?
I'd vote for him.
Of DnD Beyond?
@@bojackhorseman4176 that's too much power
In October 2020, if only
I think World Domination should be the final stretch goal. I, for one, welcome our new Critical Overlords.
For the CR Empire!
Critical Rolverloards?
WhaleMom uvu Omg that’s brilliant.
Overlord!
I appreciate the comment and your golden sun patronage!
When other people reaches their goal: Hey guys, thank you so much for supporting us-
Critical Role: Yeah so um.... wow.... *silence followed by laughter*
This is the most legitimate reaction I've seen. And I love it
It's not that they reached their goals, it's the fact that in 2 days they got 2 million dollars
@@popitrekker1543 duh
@@popitrekker1543
Wasn't even two days, it was less than half a day!
They look so delightedly terrified and it’s wonderful. I love them and this community so much.
We love you too:)
They look like that couple that just discovered they're having a baby after trying for years.
Oh, and it's twins.
I say it's not enough we need to destroy those fund buttons go all the way
To 10 million
community took a quick look at the stretch goals before quoting Pumat Sol, "That's a, respectfully, a paltry sum"
So is everyone ok with the idea of calling ourselves the critter legion? Are we *GASP* _are WE the cricks?_
*Cues dramatic and ominous music*
*OUR NAME IS LEGION*
To be honest.. I kinda almost feel bad for them at some extend. One thing is to have a clear goal and move safe and steadily to it's fruition, but it's a whole another feeling when a lot.. and I mean *A LOT* of people start throwing money at you and expect *YOU* to come up with some ideas that will meet their expectations. It's a heavy burden, especially if some sneaky thought creeps into your mind, whispering "what if you'll fail? what if you won't be able to deliver?". Much love for the crew and the critters, and my only wish is that there will be enough trust and patience to give them sufficient space and time for creativity. Love y'all \m/
Yeah, especially Matt. He kinda said that he has that type of issue since childhood. Impostor Syndrome, iirc..
Luckily they are all friends and can have each other’s back.
Thought the same thing yesterday. But looking back at all the things they've done and how they mastered all those challenges, I feel they will master this one too!
I just want them to do things that they can be happy and proud of! If they love it we'll love it :)
Oh lord, and the guys at Titmouse must be getting nervous as well, it looks like it’s going to be a much bigger project with a lot more expectation than they had realised going into this.
classic case of: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Srsly though you guys deserve it. I am really looking forward to what you will make
Just realised the theme now says ‘daggers and cunning’ not ‘falchions and cunning’! That’s so cool!
Wow good ears that Critter, you must be of Elven ancestry, I didn't notice that.
I was singing along when I realised i said a word wrong and had to go back and re-listen to make sure i wasn’t insane
TP Burrow It’s probably because I’ve listen to it on Spotify so many times I basically have it memorised...but thanks!
IlannaBranwell
I had realized that too! How cool is this!?
I really love that they also kind of repurposed the lyrics to line up with VM. During the teaser, Pike is the focus on "there's a monster incoming" and Scanlan on "inspiration is waiting." Also, it's a bit out of sync, but "they rise from the flames for the battle ahead" is followed by monsters wreathed in fire.
Stretch goal, Make Gunslinger a Legal DnD class.
Swag Sylveon Don’t forget Cobalt Soul and Blood Hunter!
Well, actually the Gunslinger "is" a legal DnD class, since Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting was released.
Destroy the fund button 10 million
The New Artificer looks sick tho
Blood hunter is already a class on DND Beyond, I made my first Blood Hunter a few weeks ago.
SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE
Don't forget the spinoff series and Netflix adaption
Five gold and a party?
So the Steven Universe package.
well two seasons are confirmed
Scott Bruckner um actually it’s the community package
😂😂 Travis's "Okay...Be professional!" and "Fuck your stretch goals!"
When I heard Matt laugh the first time in this video I was like "Yeah, that's it. Matt finally lost it."
We finally broke him. With kindness, of course
The real Thursday was the friends we made along the way
I love this.
Stretch Goal: Ashley Johnson fireside chat?
The manic laughter of people who just realized the enormity of the situation.
I love CR so much.
Best part of that haunted house stretch goal is that they raised 11 million dollars.
And Travis did it
We all saw this coming except them. Silly Nerdy-ass Voice Actors.
The Swagonborn Who play Dungeons and Dragons. And smash fundraiser goals.
I was kind of hoping it was a 20 minute video of those guys just making weird noises to contain their amazement, but this'll do
There's 44 more days... ;)
What do you think the fades are for?
They arnt going to keep it up for 44 days but if they do then they will be richer than the ceo of amazon
My favorite Matt Mercer moment is when he realizes that he can show the Divergence
Step 1. Buy a country.
Step 2. Make Exandria/Tal'Dorei a real place in the world.
Step 3. Make Matt Mercer King.
Edit:1.9k likes?!! D'awww you guys 🥰
And then change the name from critical role to mass murder with Matt mercer
He is the only person who loves there, but has to be everyone.
smart smart smart
@@gabedattilo3951 that title tho. I loves it!!
sad thing you could probably do that just find some poor as fuck place and buy it
A "Legion of Critters" T-shirt and on the back the first 24 hours timestamps as the goal and stretch goals are smashed.
"Critter Hivemind" i would say XD
The ONLY reasons I will object to "hivemind" is 1) the meaning behind "hivemind" 2) That Travis called us "legion." Your idea is not wrong, I just think "Critter Legion" or "Legion of Critters" has better opportunities for representation on a T-Shirt, The idea of the timestamp of how fast this goal was shattered (on the back) makes me laugh.
*OUR NAME IS LEGION, FOR WE ARE MANY*
5:04 That freaking noise Matt makes. It just warms my heart. I mean think about it. You make up a world for your friends to play in. Now you get a chance to talk to a creative department about it. That's fucking nuts dude.
This entire livestream was Critical Role.exe has stopped working
Lol, it's the CR T-shirts all over again!
A monster is born! ^^
MCMLondon was the same, Critters took over the Con, It was woefully unprepared for the number of Critters who descended on London from all over the world. Hopefully now they will be able to plan ahead a bit more?
@@TPBurrow this should be the wake up call to the rest of the cons and the mainstream as to how popular crit role is and going to become.
Does anybody remember what episode that was about the t-shirts?
Wow thats going back a bit. It was about S1 Ep 15 I think, But its not easy to find now, as the uploads are different to the live streams
Thank you for making this because I definitely missed the announcement. Time to give them all my money. I hope they realize the only stretch goal I want is more animated critical role. This is a kickstarter that I don’t need secondary goals for.
Raise it to 10 million
That has been a part of a few of the stretch goals! If I'm not mistaken we hit 88 minutes of animation at $3M and now it's over $4M so I'd guess we're probly up to at least 110 minutes, maybe even over 2 hours.
So far the stretch goals got us 44 more minutes of animated critical role
@@ssfbob456 66*
Josh Gislason 11 million and a full series bitches :)
Mercer: we need 750k for the animation series.
Critters: hold my beer.
Yeah, let's make "Travis goes to a haunted house" a stretch goal for some ridiculous number, like, idk, _10 million_ or sth, we'll never reach that.
Right?
$3,939,660 as of this post..... wow.... just .. wow....
I feel like if I go peek it might hit 4....
Add another casual 40k in 40 more minutes aswell

Its been fun to watch, I am glad we all made it here safely, its been a bumpy old road, but the company is nice and the scenery amazing:)
Oooh! I just thought of another thing to add to a stretch goal. An extended version of "Your Turn to Roll".
OMFG YES, i need that, i heavily need that!!
I've said this on a few twitter comments....
You guys deserve this! You have given all of us so much over the years. You have devoted your time and energy to sharing your game, and your story with us.
This is us giving back to the cast and crew that have given all of us so much.
"They were always beside you. Your nerdy best friends and your GM to guide you"
That is us...the nerdy friends.
Did somebody bring Onions in here?
I'm not crying you're crying
"With the power of cartoons we can ~time travel~~"
Matt's brain straight up short circuits
the saddest moment, I wanted to pledge, but can't, since I do not own a credit card. *cries in young adult*
Well, don't want to force you or anything but there is no problem without solution.
You can still use someone else card and pay him back. Or eventually, you can order a credit card at your bank, it will be useful in your future adult life.
Ask your parents! Explain to them that it is for agood cause and your money will go to funding an animated series that is the first of its kind and you'll be part of the reason it was allowed to happen! I did that and they said "alright, you're paying it from your money, but we'll let you use the card if it means so much to you". I am very happy that I did it.
I had a slightly different problem. I want to pledge, I already have an account on Kickstarter... what I'm missing is an income... :(
If you are a young adult with a job in the us take 20$ and buy a prepaid credit card a visa and use that, so you aren't using anyone else's card. But yes talk to your parents because they might do that for you. :)
aaand a fellow student offered to use his card, problem solved, and about the thing, I have no true need for one yet, problem solved
Unlike other kickstarters, we trust you because you have a history of doing what you promise. Congrats on 4 million!!!!!!
Stretch Goal: Five million and you bring Mollymauk back.
Birdles Animations Honestly I’d be okay with him as an antagonist too. I just want him back
If he comes back, it better be as a villain under the DMs control. The character died, and I think Taliesin himself is content with that for himself. Think Lady Sariel from MCDM
obviously its a bit late but that would be amazing
Boi did that age well

Critters: We would like to rage-pay
Wall: is obliterated in hours
Crit Role team: stunned in joy, surprise and they now have to come up with new stretch goals and maybe some more supporter tiers.

4.33 Million in 24 hours. They've only got stretch goals up to $3,000,000. At this point the community is literally saying "I have no idea what they're going to do with my money but I want them to have it"
That is a crazy amount of trust, and they've earned every bit of it.

For anyone seeing this around my time,
As of the 11th of June 2020 the kickstarter is now at $11,385,449 / the $750,000 goal
I remember someone made a video on critical role for the kickstarter goal, and that they wouldn't reach it.
Of course, I can't find the video anymore.
I know it's been two years since then, but it still gives me a little thrill to know I took part in making these guys speechless.
To give context/clarity for those not familiar with how the Legend of Vox Machina (LoVM) Kickstarter project went, yet found their way here... *:)*
1.) *_Initial Projections & Goals (Kickstarter announcement: 03/04/2019)..._*
- a.) The (initial) goal would be to produce a Stand Alone, 22 minutes long, Animated Short with no commercials (this was *NOT* a LoVM episode), featuring the Vox Machina group at roughly level 06-07.
- b.) A rough but workable budget/goal of $750,000 USDollars was set.
- c.) It was projected to be able to reach this base amount, and perhaps some *_("some")_* of the Stretch Goals, within the 45-day Kickstarter period.
- d.) If successful, more Animated Shorts would be further Kickstarter'ed and produced, on an individual basis, but all cohesively and progressively tied to [Critical Role Campaign #1: Vox Machina (2015-2017)].
2.) *_Kickstarter Results (ended 04/19/2019)..._*
- a.) The base goal of $750,000 USD was reached *_UNDER 60 MINUTES_* of the LoVM Kickstarter going active.
- b.) By the end of the first 24 hours after the LoVM Kickstarter going active, approximately *$4.3 million USD* had been raised. Remember, the initial maximum Stretch Goals were set to $1.0 million USD over a 45-day period.
- c.) Additional Stretch Goals were added across the following days & weeks. All Stretch Goals were reached, including the _"crazy goal"_ ($10.0 million USD) of having Travis Willingham make a solo journey through a haunted house, much to Travis' chagrin. [(6:10) - *Side-Note:* Travis is afraid of pitch-black darkness.]
- d.) By the end of the 45-day Kickstarter period, the funds totaled *$11,385,449 USD.*
- e.) The LoVM Kickstarter holds the record (as of 2022) as one of the most quickly funded in Kickstarter history, and the most funded Kickstarter for TV and film projects.
3.) *_Future_** (as of the end of [LoVM season 01]) --* Amazon Studios has pre-approved LoVM seasons 02-03, so no further fan-funding currently is currently needed until [LoVM s04+]. This will likely cover the epic struggle of *[CR Campaign #1, story-arc 3/5: The Chroma Conclave].* Whether we will see [CR c01, arc 4/5: Taryon Darrington] and the final [CR c01, arc 5/5: Vecna], Time will tell...
4.) *_Personally_** --* I hope we will manage to reach producing [CR campaign #2: The Mighty Nein]. I very much want to see Jester Lavorre brought fully to animation life. *:)*
Thanks for uploading this, *TP Burrow.* :)
Well I have some news for you

But it is even more than that, for both Good and Evil...
1.) *_Good_** ~* What is easy to miss/overlook is that besides the multi-season contract for the M9 animated series, there is also a movie-deal (pre-)included in the deal as well.

2.) *_Evil_** ~* However, the M9 animated series not a guarantee of production turnout either... Not with the current D&D-spanning controversy over [Hasbro / Wizards of the Coast] intending to revoke the Open Game License (OGL) v1.0 and replace it with a new OGL ("v1.1, 1.2) with tyrannical/authoritarian stipulations that would allow [Hasbro/WotC] to completely seize license-control and revenue(s) of all of Critical Role's works. *:(*
Time will tell how this develops and turns out...
@@pendrake40 I genuinely feel the OGL is the least of our worries with this announcement and the fact that they made their own company for the CRU, but who knows. I think that the show will do well, and that despite the controversy people will check it out because... well it'd the Mighty Nein. I feel CR is slowly moving away from D&D material and making their own signature stuff. But I'm a newbie to all of this, I do think CR will do the right thing.
I don't need a statement from them, actions speak louder than words... and I think this recent news is the action :D
season 2 finished with a third on a way. Its nice to see how this started again, and seeing all the love and support. ROLL THE DICE
526% funded with 44 days remaining
Help get this project over the finish line, sure ye you got it
While you're at it, Grog could use some help finishing off his pint.
Their faces. Oh man, I'm so proud to be a part of this fandom and I'm so happy for them
Here’s what happens when creativity is rewarded. Millennials don’t kill everything
Now if only we could all get out and vote for a political candidate who deserved recognition, unlike whoever the two parties attempts to shove down our throats... then maybe millennials would have more say in the doings of the country. This kind of thing, but there...
Tyler Peacock, I am right there with you with the “sick of both parties”
You teased us with an animated special, but I'm sure all of us fans want a whole series. I know I'm not the only one thinking about it, but would you dare?
Series that morphs from VM to M9.....? Legends of Exandria
@@shawnheddin4833 at this point, I will just enjoy anything they release.
You guys can’t put something like VM VS MN and NOT expect us critters to break the bank!
They should film a short skit where they are in a field with a collection bucket, cuts to a group of warriors in armour plate, a scout runs up... "Guys! Critical role are kick-starting and animated special!" Points towards them, the camera cuts to the leaders grim face that now cracks a smile, he raises a horn to his lips and blows, as a clear ringing call fills the air, the camera pulls back to reveal a vast vast army all well armoured veterans, the leader, points with his sword "CHARGE!!' and the army thunders towards a now terrified and bewildered vox Machina XD just as they are about to collide, they skid to a halt and start politely handing over money XD
Sam Watson I need this, don’t care if it’s fan made or not I need this
Love this idea
All of this, except replace the "clear ringing" with Matt's shitty horn noises from the City of Brass arc.
All I hear is happy Vex sounds because she gets money.
“When you talk about lore and old stuff we can go back and show that shit”
Who knew Sam was a prophet.
We are legion.
A single whisper becomes a roar.
A single thought becomes a movement.
A single dollar becomes 4 million.
Fellow Critters... I think we broke the cast (especially Mercer) with our love.
No, seriously, this has been insane and incredible to see and this is an incredible fandom to be a part of and I'm so happy I joined the Critter legion.
Matthew Mercer's "AAAAHHHH!" at 5:07 makes me feel better as a human being; that level of excitement and creativity is just wonderful
"We got 3.5?"
Matt Freaking out: "What is going on"
Oh young naive Matt, you aint seen nothing yet.
Seriously though, who wouldn't be overwhelmed if someone just dropped 3 million dollars in your lap.
Matt: we have a kickstarter and just asking for a bit.
Critters: hold our dice
Watching this Video at the End of the campaign where they’ve managed to raise (as of me writing this comment) over $10,000,000 or 1362% of the original goal, is even more surreal and Hilarious, especially Travis’ jokes about stretch goals.
I'm from the future: the VM vs MN definitely happened and was awesome
stretch goal: Critical Role/The Adventure zone DM swap spectacular
OH I love this idea, Yes make it happen
