Talking Crit

This is it, the calm before the storm.  The lead up fight to the main event, and the contenders are getting ready in the wings.  You can feel it in the air, the finale is coming.  A lot of us are still trying to get ourselves ready for what’s coming.  A lot of us are […]

What a trip it has been, 50 episodes of Talking Crit.  My apologies in advance, I won’t have a lot to say, this head cold is kicking my butt.  Regardless, Vox Machina is getting closer to Vecna, and they are proving that epic D&D gets weird.  No doubt about it, once you go above level […]

The march through the titan continues, and more traps and combat lay in wait for Vox Machina.  There is that feeling of conclusion looming over head for the group.  Not all ends are good; not all ends are bad, but there must always be a finish to our adventure.   Big shout out to David […]

“And the man in the back said everyone attack And it turned into a ballroom blitz” Sam Riegel is a beautiful man, with a beautiful mind, and he had a beautiful idea to run a one shot.  There was something so good, and so pure about the experience, it was like someone learning to paint. […]

The march up the undead titan continues, and it means Vox Machina is getting closer to the end.  There is some epic level dungeon crawling afoot.  It’s nice to see the party wading into danger, traps, and adventure again.  It feels like a great appetizer before the main course.  Is it a course anyone wants […]

Tragedy is something terrible happening to you, comedy is something terrible happening to someone else.  The first 40 minutes of Episode 109 was everything that quote was meant to represent.  Yes, there was a cubic dong to be awe struck by, but the love potion number nine fiasco was everything that a D&D game should […]

It’s a double episode this week as Vox Machina get into forging the tremels.  The Forge Guardian was a mighty solo npc to face, with some interesting fight mechanics, but this all seems to be the undercard for the main event.  While the forging of the tremels was difficult, it’s one more step towards the […]

What a run it was for Sprigg, and what a finale to a character.  It was a wonder to see, and it was an luxury to watch.  However, adventures carry forward, and Vox Machina has to get moving.  The ritual to godhood has been completed, Vecna is starting to learn the full potential of his […]

What a treat last Thursday was.  Darin De Paul came in and just knocked us all on our butts.  There was so much woven into each interaction, you would need to go back and watch the episode again just to soak in everything.  This was a treat to watch, it was like watching a master […]

It’s time to join the Planes Walkers Club, Vox Machina has gone full celestial.  It is a time of urgency for VM, as they try to gather the support of the gods.  We asked the question last week if the gods would help VM, and we got a partial answer.  So far, Sarenrae & Pelor […]
