No one is saying that though.

Like yes....the cast and crew of like 30 people all need money to live. Nothing wrong with that. They have it department, camera crew, sound crew, crafters and marketing people. If they pay them pnly 50k a year thats a few million a year just to keep the lights on. And thats not including supplies or electricity or taxes on the property

They give milliona ti charity and spent millions to make their shows. Its not like they are swimming in money, it takes a million to just make 1 episode.

And yes we do have literally 1600 hours of content for free.

You can literally watch everything thry make for free. Hell even their cartoon with a free trial.

as much as a i very much agree that matt's the DM and therefore, based on RAW, his call is the final one and can override any rule for any reason, it really irks me when people go on about how its their game and that we should be thankful for them sharing it with us, as if CR isnt a very successful IP thats acrued them an actual insane amount of monetary gain. we can have both that matt's the DM and if you truly dont like it, you shouldnt watch, and that critical role is hardly a grassroots project that doesnt owe anything to its audience.

Part of it is that some are just the talon units from the blackwatch event.

Tracer is the crazy assassin which is why she has rage. Rein is the big bruiser with the guns, hence the mask

why do all the mirrorwatch talon skins have red eyes. it's not like our normal talon people have red eyes

i appreciate the attempts a lot of game devs are making with gender neutral character creation, and i appreciate that it's actually a very difficult task to implement that depending on the game's base code. but it's so funny to me when you hear an uproar because some game has "entirely removed the gender option from character creation!!!!!" so you go to check it out and its just like

Orym's argument against Ludinus Da'leth and the Ruby Vanguard is essentially "The purpose of a system is what it does."

This is a systems theory coined by Stafford Beer around 2001. He posited there is "no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do." It does not matter what someone tells you a system does if it does not reliably do that. The things it does consistently do are the actual purpose of the system.

Ludinus (and Liliana) claim the purpose of the Ruby Vanguard's violence is to free Exandria of oppression from the gods. Orym's point is that they have not consistently protected anyone from oppression. They consistently murder innocent people, indoctrinate vulnerable people into doing terrible violence (including children), support a ruling class that dominates the population through mind control and eugenics, and seek to release a predator so terrifying that the warring alien gods and native primordials worked together to seal it away as a threat to both of them.

So the logical conclusion is that the purpose of Ludinus' system is not to free anyone from tyranny, it's to install himself as the tyrant. And it does not matter what Ludinus says it's for or even what he believes it's for. The purpose of a system is what it does. And Orym has been personally and repeatedly victimized by what it does. Why wouldn't he keep reminding them of that?

Add onto that, the Ruby Vanguard is a death cult. They lure people in with believable lies. They use propaganda to control how people view them and to convince people to support them. Liliana has been groomed into a true believer who genuinely thinks what she has been told is true and that Ludinus' system does what he says it will. She has been convincing other people of this for years. Not because she's an inherently bad person but because everyone generally tries to convince others that what we believe is true. It is actually dangerous to let a cultist try to talk you into the cult's perspective. That's why Orym shuts it down.

Orym was already on edge but it's fully in a breakdown after FCG's sacrifice. One more iteration of Ludinus' system consistently murdering the people he loves. But he still told Imogen he wants her to have a good relationship with her mom again. He wants Liliana to make it through the other side of this. But that has to involve consistently stating the reality of what's happening against what she believes.

Ludinus believes in the rapture of the revolution. Burn everything to the ground on a fundamental level and a new perfect society will grow, with him to guide it. The reality is that kind of power vacuum consistently leads to horrific violence and conditions often get much, much worse. Especially for vulnerable people, who often do not survive. A lot about the gods' relationships to mortals probably needs to change, but this an incredibly dangerous gamble to fix it.

The purpose of a system is what it does. Any suggestion otherwise is cold comfort to Orym's family in the ground.

Hds not into books , hes into magic for a very specific reason which is spoiler territory. There are multiple instances of ppl giving him the opportunity for books which he turns down cus hes looking for magic, (cus hes a wizard, and thats how he gets more magic)

I think a part of why I can’t get into Season 2 of Critical Role is because I can’t attach to the nerd. Like I don’t need an inventor but Caleb to me is remarkably boring. He likes books. Like maybe if he liked something cool like architecture or dance or ecology or something I’d get it, but like books could work. But the thing is like he’s not like INTO books like I would expect him to be geeking out about the binding techniques of codices from different monasteries and the changing symbolism in the use of gold leaf across the centuries or something like I don’t get that guy I think he just likes to read or something, what a dork.

literally woke up in a cold sweat to make this

Something I appreciate so much about Exandria is that they've all pretty clearly decided that homophobia doesn't exist in this fantasy world- because why should it when it's much more interesting to let characters just feel how they want to feel free of societal stigmas and the characterizations they cause- and despite this Imogen Temult STILL manages to act like a disaster lesbian who watched doctor who in middle school and was afraid to talk to girls until she was 25 at every turn

Shout out to Critical Role for taking a hot dog, usually a phallic shape, and making it vaginal. That hot dog had gender reassignment surgery.
