They were still in their 40's or 50's episode of the second campaign when asking "what does that do" about skills that were used dozen of times before, like 'Bless of the trickster' or 'Bless' They always forget to add some of their feats when dealing damage. Sam still asks in a 70's episode after having advantage on an attack, if he get's his sneak attack. And that's a core feature of his class.... I get that they only play once a week, and it's easier for me to recall their skills as I'm watching them more than once a week to get up to the current episode, but still, there things they really should know by now. (And I myself only played like 3-4 times and DMed 1 4h game, so I don't have the biggest knowledge of DnD) But what they are, are excellent actors and they play their roles really well, 98% of the time, which is REALLY good. But rule- and skill-wise, they lack a lot.

The guy is a living legend in D&D, (spoilers- for Vox Machina -spoilers) when a guest on Critical Role (Legend of Vox Machina is based off their D&D game), he stole the Hand of Vecna from the group while they were morning a fallen companion and escaped with it.

When Joe realized that Stephen really new what he was talking about you could feel the connection. It’s nice to see such popular people being nerds in front of a whole lot of people.

Absolutely loved this, they really were passionate about this and you can watch videos of both of them playing D&D, the fact Stephen even went a bit like "Screw the audience for a minute, I just need to know more about his D&D campaigns" says a lot!

I admit, I know nothing about D&D... and yet, this is the most amazing goddamn thing ever. I genuinely love this, Stephen and Joe nerding out on national television is the greatest thing to ever be put on TV. I could watch them nerd out for hours and be insanely happy, even without knowing a single thing they're talking about!

LOL. Love this interview. Stephen surprised the eff out of Joe with his knowledge of D&D. if the producers didnt stop him they would of still been there and brought out the game and played D&D hours later

"You may be sexier than I am but I'm nerdier than you are." I GOT DIZZY, I was laughing so hard

Manganiello's face as he realized Colbert was asking if he could join his table. The best. S: "I'm coming out for the Emmys. Are you going to be out there at the end of September? Maybe we could play?" J: "Are you kidding?" S: "Alright. Let's do it."

OMG Stephen have Joe introduce you to Matt Mercer who is one of the best Dungeon Masters around in September when you come out to LA. I hope you get this on tape for all of us D&D fans to see. Make a Critters dream come true. Is it Thursday yet?

His D&D dungeon in his wine cellar is the golden ticket in Hollywood. The minds that hang out there and nerd out are running the industry.

As a guy who played D&D way back in the 80's, I love this. There were so many good times playing with friends and making fun stories, and that's when it wasn't 'cool' to be a nerd, but we all had a great time together. This, and the team from Critical Role really make me smile as I watch and remember those times.

Watching Joe talk shop about D&D makes me so happy. Watching Stephen match him beat for beat has me crying happy tears. The only thing is I wish he had mentioned that he played live streams, and point people to watching Force Grey and Critical Role if they want a great example of what the hell he's talking about.

Stephen is definitely on the path, but I don't think a guest appearance on CR would have made logisitical sense at this point. The Emmys are on a Monday night, when Stephen would be visiting before likely returning on a morning flight since he has his nightly show to host. Rescheduling the entire cast and crew for CR to be able to play on Monday would have been a logisitical nightmare if it was even possible at that point (since all the players, Matt, and the crew have other duties through their days and likely intentionally leave their Friday mornings somewhat lighter due to their typical late Thursdays). I hold out hope that we will see his guest appearance someday, but this trip was just too spur of the moment to work out.
