    @@PhasedTM Matt confirmed on twitter he didn't know that the animation team was doing this. Sometimes you say lines for characters and the lines are so short the voice actor doesn't need to visually see the character talking to match the mouth flaps...so that was probably the case for the little one liners "Matt" says. He didn't NEED to see the character he was voicing...so the probs didn't show him...and were able to surprise him with this.

    About moment with a gun. It's Percival and his character is Gunslinger (homebrew class that later was added to core game) and one of the Gunslinger mechanics is Misfire, if you roll lower than a certain number the gun misfires and you need to spend an action to fix it.

    I think when they started streaming the characters were level ~8-9. So I think they would be roughly level ~6-8 at this point in the home game. Edit: Adding (corrected) character info. Their home game was being run as Pathfinder and they converted to D&D 5e for the stream. Vex - Ranger Vax - Rogue Scanlan - Bard Pike - Cleric Grog - Barbarian Keyleith - Druid Percy - Matt Mercer custom tailored Pathfinder's Gunslinger to fit 5e. To balance the power of the "Pepperbox" if he rolled below a certain thresh hold the gun would jam and he would have to spend an action to fix it.

They started streaming at level 9 and there were about 20+ episodes between start of stream and the beginning of the Briarwood arc. These first 2 episodes were story-wise from well before the stream and they were around level 7. But obviously for the show they made the events much closer together and therefore are at like 10 or 11.

    Very happy that you're watching this! Been a big fan of your work for prior series, and watching you experience Campaign 1, which is very dear to my heart being what made me start playing and DMing my own D&D campaigns, is pretty hype! Experiencing how they try to incorporate as much official D&D as possible, but still avoid obvious copyright material is what I tried to keep an eye out for. How strict they'd be with spell adaptations and so on, as well as class features. Linking the animated series to the campaign in general was something I was looking forward to, since the adaptation impossibly can stay true to everything that transpired in-game. As requested I won't offer any information until asked, looking forward to experiencing this journey with ya!

    I have never played D&D myself, but I’ve listened to podcasts and watched some campaigns on KZread, so I have basic knowledge of the game. Though I’ve never seen anything from Critical Role, I went into this show blind and I’m kinda grateful I did. While I’m waiting for Season 3 I think I’m gonna watch the original campaign and compare it to the show thus far. I’m curious to see how things played out originally and how they were adapted in the show. Anyways, I do the same thing you do. I can’t help but watch some of these moments and think about their roles. It’s funny because there are some moments that you can really tell shit went wrong, like one of them rolled a nat 1.
