For everyone asking CR Abridged is a condensed version of previous episodes. Basically cutting out the fat and adding new illustrations!
This is awesome! I’ve been wanting to get caught up but I’m so behind and the 4+ hour episode lengths have been hard to commit to when you’re so far behind.
Oh, I was hoping for some shenanigans like Hellsing Abridged .
Ah I see they finally got smart
That's awesome 🥹
Oh thank God this is a thing, I would legitimately pay $5 for their subscription service just to be able to have access to this. I fell off a couple of episodes after the split of the party. Life just got in the way I guess
Editing these episodes had to be a HUGE endeavor, thank you to everyone behind the scenes making this possible! Definitely going to make it easier for new viewers to jump in.
yeah I bet they could trim 30 mins out of each episode just by trimming the 30-70 second math for rolls :P
I've been abridging my groups D&D session audio. I can confirm it takes a lot of effort...and i'm only doing audio!
As someone still trying to get through campaign 2, these abridged episodes are going to be a lifesaver.
and they added subtitles in as well.
How cute seeing all the Bell's Hells at the beginning. You can see where the voices have shifted a bit with use
quiver and shifted ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You can see the hope in their eyes
@@asveses5730 So much life
I was thinking the same thing ❤. Super cute seeing them before they fully realize the characters they wanted to present
Happens with every character I’ve played.
I'll be the first to admit this is a great idea. I've had to put CR videos on 1.5x speed a few times to catch up or make it through slow episodes.
Unfortunately the current season is a slog for the past 5 or so episodes for me. It's not fun for most of it
@quazorgemash it'll be interesting to see how much the cut out. I wonder if they will even combine episodes to keep things around 1.5 hours long.
I only caught up thanks to x2 and a long commute
@@quazorgemash CR has been a slog since the middle of C2. I dropped C3 like 14 episodes in because I couldn't take it anymore and it was completely uninteresting.
@@RAZGR1Z I'd quibble about C2 as that's the best of the three campaigns, but yeah C3 sucks.
Ah... Being attacked by furniture. Simpler times.
Who knows maybe just maybe Ludinus his ultimate goal predathos is a CHAIR!!!! Dun dun da
@@christopherwilson542 Nah for sure its a door has to be
First Enemy: this rug is clashing with the market's vibe.
Last Enemy: the gods shit themselves when this creature farts in it's sleep, go bury it.
@@christopherwilson542 I personally blame C-Pop Industries for this calamity.
Shout out to Marisharaygun who single-handedly made hundreds of these summeries for campaign two and three. They retired recently, but should serve as a template on how to do it. Would be cool to see CR showing them some love and finish their work with campaign two.
Excited for this. Much more reasonable way to catch up on C3 when so far behind. EDIT: yay, and now with captions!!
I know! I loved the characters, but unfortunately just could not keep up due to IRL stuff past a few episodes, and catching up on the entire thing would've been impossible pretty much. So excited!
Captions would be amazing. Auto-generated captions just don't capture Matt's nuanced pronunciations and fantastical spellings. I wonder if the transcripts would be helpful here.
That opening description makes so much more sense having watched everything else afterwards. There's so much additional context that we now know
What ever team of people who did the editing... well done. This has to be a lot of work.
I remember finding the original episode almost by accident. I was investigating works of Laura Bailey...Knowing her from the voice of Serana in Skyrim. Now I am into Critical Role to the point of obsession. The whole story that is now almost 10 years in the making...Created basically by the random roll of dice...very interesting indeed!
The dice rolls stopped mattering after C1.
I had a similar start to cr! Was looking more into Ashley Johnson's work and found out about the show, been a fan since!
I had the same thing happen with me. I was looking into Liam O'Brien's work from theater to voice acting and a friend mentioned Critical Role and sent me a compilation of his best work in C1. I was hooked and loved that other voice actors I love hang with him. Been a fan for 7 years and loving every moment. 😊🥰
Same thing but with Matthew Mercer xD I was surprised when I saw Laura, recognized Liam's voice from games I've played, later down the line with realized I knew of Sam and Travis' voice works, and fell in love with the rest of the cast along the way
My start was stumbling upon the stream where the mighty nein were fighting on a boat in some sort of underground river
57:47 I am so glad stuff like this are kept in these abridged episodes.
absolutely crucial edition. not to be cut.
It took me way too long to realise they edited out attack rolls hahaha
I honestly think even though C3 isn’t my favorite of the 3, this is by far the best opening episode. Completely magical
Praise be to the editors
Im so glad we can also get full sized view of the camera angles as part of this. I always squit at my screen trying to see their expressions and reactions.
THANK YOU!! i have been desperately trying to get into critical role as i know how good it is, but been so overwhelmed by the long episodes and searching for an abridged / summary of campaigns. this is exactly what i needed to get stuck in to your campaigns!
stuff like this is also good for listening to it during car trips or if your work allows 1 earbud then listening to it using your phone or an mp3player (cause better battery life)
Bravo to the editors. As an editor in the ttrpg space, I know how much work this is. You are very appreciated (and you're also living my dream of editing for CR 😆)
This is definitely something I've been looking for as a way to introduce friends to Critical Role without subjugating them to 4+ hour video streams! It's a convenient way to get the most important parts out of the episodes in question and can help those in serious need of catch up. I hope CR can do this with the other 2 campaigns as well though.
it would be really awesome
Oh my GOD could you imagine Mighty Nein abridged.
@wminster, they kinda did it with the Crit Recap animations
I'd love if they did the other campaigns abridged. I got into CR before campaign 3 and just didn't have the time to go through all of the first two campaigns. Recaps are well and good, especially the written ones (which are so helpful when I can't remember what happened; thank you Dani!!), but I love seeing the players and stuff going on. Some of it is just extraneous though, like taking an hour to plan how to walk into a town.
@@Randomperson-ht2ey and the first 2 campaigns getting an animated series as well, some things changed a little for a better representation
Oh wow, I thought this was going to be exclusively Beacon! Makes sense to make it public for everyone though.
Beacon just gets them sooner.
I think they are ahead in Beacon
@robertoalejandroorozco3503 yeah Beacon is 12 episodes ahead. Lmao I wonder what the posting schedule will be like for CZcams
The first one is always free.
It's just another way to get more hours on CZcams.
This is such a great move by CR. I can’t catch up on all the 3-4 hour episodes I’ve gotten behind on. Excited for more of these!
You could not imagine what this mean to me. I´m Spanish and although my English is not bad It was impossible for my to keep the track of long episodes in other language (and I had tried so hard!!!). This is a gift for me. Thank you so so much
Lo escuchas en español? a mi me aparece solo en ingles
@@ralet9740 No, lo veo en inglés con subtítulos, pero es más fácil de seguir ahora que los capítulos son más cortos
Ojalá le agreguen subtitulos a este 😢
I first learned of Critical Role and started listening to Campaign 3 the week Candela Obscura debuted. It has been an enjoyable but wild 10(?) months. I drive as a job so i have been listening in podcast form and most weeks have been gaining between 12 and 20 hours a week. I have only caught up in the last week. Thank you for an amazing ride so far, but I am so pleased this is now an option.
(I’m now going to start listening to Campaign 2 at leisure, now I have the time!)
This is so amazing!! Thank you for the time doing this. I love me some 4 hour episodes but its brutal when you get behind. Thanks CR!
Its crazy how its been 2 years already.
The editing is flawless. Wow respect. Thanks
Oh this is awesome. Must be a big undertaking for the editors. The things I'd do for a C2 abridged, that would be amazing.
hopefully when they catch up
I'm pretty sure they're doing abridged versions of c1 and c2. They're just starting with this one.
The edited intro is very good. Thank you to the editors working on these episodes! As much as I love Critical Role and the episodes, sometimes my brain just can't get through 3-5 hours of content.
Woaaaaah I've been WAITING for an abridged series
I love this! Thank you to whoever had to edit this because it will make it SO much easier to get caught up on this Campaign!
If it does work out well this will be a Lifesaver
love to have an abridged series, hopefully we’ll get the captions soon too!
This is the best idea! I absolutely love this. Please keep doing this for campaign 3!
the beginning of a great idea, good to see you guys evolving
Campaign 3 definitely needs this. Thank you!
Oh wow. I would not have blamed CR for making this stuff exclusive for Beacon members but as a regular CZcams viewer I feel pretty spoiled. Haha. This is awesome.
I believe only the first 5 episodes will be free the rest will be behind Beacon, but i could be wrong.
CR cares for its audience. We love them back🥰
Only the beginning of this is free on youtube. The rest you'll have to pay for on beacon. I didn't look at the prices on beacon myself, but from what i heard they're not bad. I think people said they're pretty fair.
I will copy a comment from someone else :
"at the end of the trailer it's explained and in the text underneath it's detailed, Beacon gets 12 episodes to start and new eps twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays, youtube gets 4 episodes over the next week and just one ep per week after."
@@rakuloe wrong. Beacon gets 2 a week and YT gets one plus being behind since beacon already has 12 episodes or so ready.
This must be so, so much work to edit. It looks great, shout out to the whole production team!!
Thanks so much for doing this!! ❤
Im in love with the format
Thank you so much. I'm so excited to start
Thank you for this!! This is such a convenient way to catch up with so many episodes
I hope we'll get subtitles soon
Yes! I've wanted to get back into the show for ages but didn't have the time. This helps a lot!
Yay! Thanks for making an abridged version 💖💖💖
Smiley Day, Critters!
Wow you read my mind..I didn't find this channel until half way through campaign 3. So I thought i had months of content to catch up with!
I'm very thankful you have made this condensed version to get there much quicker! 💗 cheers!
I love this, thank you so much. I stopped about ep 20 because the 4 hour sessions were just too long. Can't wait to focus only on more crunchy bits
well done editors!!
This is a great idea yall. Been way too busy to keep up with c3
Continuity is perfect.
This is such a great idea!!
This abridged version is a really good idea! I am a new viewer and this will make things so much easier :)
This is exactly what I needed 😢
THANK YOU SO MUCH
This was such a good idea i wish they would do this for all their vids n vods
Honestly a HUGE move and I really really really hope they keep these coming. I feel like cutting the episode length by half like this will draw more people in, especially those that have wanted to come in and catch up.
This is awesome. Since the start of campaign 1, I've always dropped critical role somewhere during a campaign (kept up with special moments however) because it just took too much time to keep up. This seems like the perfect alternative for me! Appreciate it 👌🏻
Great way to catch up on the series. Campaign 3 has always felt like the slice of life era of CR - til the end game.
I am so happy they’re doing this! I watched the first 30ish episodes close to their release but then life got in the way and I’ve never really caught up - and probably forgot about a lot of things too. And I simply don’t have the time to get caught up with 60+ 4h episodes, so this is truly amazing!
I haven't been able to keep up with C3 so far, hopefully this series gives me the chance!
So weird seeing this after 3 YEARS!
Love it!! This is gonna be my new background go-to when I’m writing or working around the house!
Y'know what, fuck it **Dimension 20's your Critical Role**
We heard you like D20 with your D20…
D20 didn't create condensed episodes lol
@@drhouse6165 D20 is condensed episodes, this is just CR edited similarly to D20
When I think Abridged I think:
"The Following is a Fan Based Parody. Critical Role is the property of Wizards of the coast, Hasbero, and Critical Role Studios. Please support the official release!"
I blame Team Four Star
Fans should recreate a a
Parody version ^_^
man that opening is so good!
This makes me way less scared to get into C3. The busy and procrastinating critters thank you endlessly!!!
I really like this idea. Great job editors!
As somebody who watched and enjoyed all of Campaign 1 and 2, but found Campaign 3's vast interconnected plot a bit of a brick wall to get through, genuinely excited to start this!
I didnt quite realize how much i've missed jrussar. Such a cool and weirdly cozy city
heart is going out to MarishaRayGun rn tbh
*same*
Why what happened?
They made a post explaining they're burnt out and is done creating content for now@@natashamartinez937
@@natashamartinez937 they used to do highlight reels for every episode in a similar style; they quit a few days ago.
@@Hellscrap3r lul very interesting timing
Oh I didn't know they'll be posting these here for free as well!!! What a treat thanks CR
This is great!
This is a great idea! I have to admit that my viewing of the normal campaign 3 episodes fell off a long time ago because I just don’t have the time anymore. This is a great way to be able to keep up with the campaign for when you don’t have as much time on your hands
PLEASE do this with every episode moving forward with any future campaigns you do!!
I'm looking forward to more of these honestly! I'm sure it's a lot of work though
Thank you editing team!!! this is brilliant!
Enjoyed this. Definitely need to make more Abridged videos
CR episodes trimmed down to the length of D20 episodes? Awesome!
Oh YES. Fantastic. I'm excited for this; I've never been able to get into a full CR campaign because I just can't commit to a full 4 hour show every Thursday with what I have going on.
But an hour and a half? That's a lot more doable. I hope you gradually work on this for every episode, this would be AWESOME.
26:52 The foreshadowing on that one is golden
This is a fantastic idea! great job CR! Love the abridged idea
Very cool. And a cool way to kinda refresh on what’s happened!!
this is so cool!!
This is so well done! I honestly can’t even tell what’s missing
What a good idea! Hopefully another boon is coming for yall
Holy shit they actually did it! I've been saying they should make abridged versions of the show for those who cant do the 4 hr sessions. This is amazing!!
As someone who's always getting caught up, I think this is a great idea! Thanks guys!
Oh man, when FCG first comes up and Matt mentions birds flying by, Sam's face shows a bit of concern/fear/disgust. IYKYK.
This is actually genius.. I havent had time to catch up to this campaign, and recently wanted to retry. This is a very respectable way to let us critters catch up! ❤
I believe the first several episodes of this are free for yt viewers. But the rest i believe will be exclusive to people with beacon memberships. Though from what i heard, the prices are fair. I haven't look at them, but it seems like they're not too high.
Wow these are amazing!!! Please please make this permanent content.
I know this is probably a fairly high cost project, but these condensed videos are great for those that want to revisit for lore and combat.
The trailers for the abridged episodes said that they're releasing a new one every week and Beacon members get 2 a week. Plus there's like 13 of them locked and loaded on the Beacon site right now. I'm so glad they're doing this. Even for someone who is caught up it's nice to go back and rewatch these to refresh the memory. Cheers. :)
im so jealous of this episodes vibe. i am a forever DM and im so envious of the new character reveal energy at this table. they are clearly all having so much fun embodying their new characters
Travis wagered a +3 to hit with the Gambler's Blade?? Out the gate, he was trying to get that man killed.
Ohhh... I'm evil villain laughing. I can finally catch up. I hope they edit with the foresight of what's currently developing, keeping some juicy foreshadowing for us.
I love this idea, but I hope they got proper captions like the main videos do soon
Are they going to do this with campaign 1 cuz that would be amazing!
I love it!
53:05 "We're sight seeing... Uh yeah we're sight seeing"
FCG : "insight check"
Omg I just died laughing
I’ve been meaning to get back into C3 because I love it so much but I got SO behind and now there’s so many details I’ve forgotten. I am absolutely THRILLED they’re coming out with the condensed versions!!! This’ll make catchup so much easier! Thank you CR!!!
Genius perfect fantastic:3
seeing fcg again and in all their beginning glory fills me with joy
This is really great! I'm glad they're doing these abridged videos!. I hope they can go back and do it with the other campaigns!
I hope they do season 2, I need to catch up on that one
