tricksters and villains apply within

From my time putting together things for a Dragon Age RP board, I've built up quite a collection of Pinterest boards for both characters and ships. Since starting though, my collection has expanded quite a bit to literature, podcasts and other media I enjoy. These days, I'm pretty sure you can tell exactly how much I'm into a thing by what boards I've created. My boards are themed in a way, characters assigned cards from both major and minor arcana from the tarot, as well as the lenormand cards. (As a note, I started doing this long before the Major Arcana for Critical Role S1 was ever announced so my cards don't match the characters, and I refuse to adjust them to match.) I tend to pick and choose characters that I like best, I've never created a full spectrum of boards for all the characters in a thing. I never put together a full list of boards for Critical Role S1 characters. And yet, Critical Role S2 totally made me want a board for each one of the ch...

I know I posted about this on tumblr yesterday, but I had to write a little more about it as a way to express my awe over this whole project. I've been following the updates on this project since the idea was first floated to the community. Tumblr fans had been mashing up Hamilton and Critical Role in art and gifs and photosets since Hamilton came out. But a project of this scope is just beyond everything else, and it could've worked out so differently. The work that it took to write these songs and make them fit both the story of Season 1 in addition to hitting the plot themes of Hamilton is mind boggling. Somehow they made it work and they made it work so incredibly well. I cried multiple times today listening to this whole thing. Seriously, if you're a fan of both Hamilton and Critical Role and you haven't listened to this yet, get on it. It's amazing. The Critter community is pretty fantastic as far as fandoms go. I feel like it's worth mentioning how ...

Maker bless these nerdy-ass voice actors. Season 2 is off to a fantastic start... well, after some technical difficulties that kept the Alpha stream down for a little bit. Although even before that, I thought that I might miss it given that the weather is bad here and we went without internet for a few different hours earlier in the evening. But, it came back on and stayed on for the entirety of the new episode. I switched back and forth between YouTube and twitch to watch a steady stream until the Alpha stream was back up. Alpha has people's names and character portraits and they were slowly being updated throughout the evening as we learned who was playing what. Here's the biggest thing I enjoyed about tonight. And it's one of the things I like about Matt's storytelling, about the way Critical Role began in general and one of the things I like most about new games I DM. There was no extended discussion at the forefront of who was playing what and which classes the...
