Talking Crit

Do you ever get the feeling that epic level D&D is based more in emotional role playing and circumstance, than it is about tackling the big nasty at the end of a dungeon?  There were many moments on Thursday that left us reaching for emotional support, and by emotional support, we mean any type of […]

Queue up I’m On a Boat, it’s time to get high on the high seas.  Vox Machina is helping Keyleth on the final leg of her Aramente, which has led them to the ocean city of Vesrah.  That’s just an awesome combination of words to say, ocean city of Vesrah.  We got some pirate combat, […]

Has it finally happened?  Has Taryon Darrington finally been welcomed into Vox Machina?  The answer is, sort of?  We got to see how an artificer got to stretch their legs in combat, well sort of combat, 84 points of bludgeoning damage will take a lot out of anyone; however, take it like a champ he […]

Where do we go from here?  We started with an Earth Breaker of a fight, and then ended with a heart breaker.  Fans and cast alike were left to pick up the fragile pieces of our emotions after that episode.  It was a lot to take in, and some of us still have to process […]

It’s a small podcast this week.  Ice storms in the city means that we are down one host, but it does mean that we have some podcasting to do.  We get into this week with a Scanlan resurrection, and a new obstacle for VM to face.  Is the box evil, is the box benign, why […]

When will the emotional roller coaster stop?  Oh geez, please let it stop, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get any better.  We have lost a Vex and we have lost a Scanlan, at least we have one of the twins back.  We have to wait a whole week to see if we […]

It’s about to get down and lichy in this here lair.  Vox Machina has infiltrated the ancient lair of Opash, which is now a lair of Thordak, which is now a lair of Raishan?  We’re going to need to see whose name is on the lease.  With Paladin in hand, we get to see some […]

It’s time to take a much needed break for Vox Machina.  There’s so much to process after the fight with Raishan.  Brendan and I try and make sense of everything, and we even try to figure out which character from Friends each member of VM is.  I still think Keyleth is a Phoebe. Patrick Rothfuss […]

It’s the new year, which means new beginnings, sort of.  Vox Machina was left in the literal dragon’s den, and things got a lil’ toasty.  Brendan and I try and help make sense of all the chaos that happened.  There was a lot to keep track of, a lot of feels and a lot of […]

Here it is, the holiday episode of Talking Crit.  Thordak has fallen, and Emon has been saved -sort of?  Vox Machina has survived, for now, and there is still a mystery to solve.  Raishan is still alive, and that cave has some questions to answer. @Pettyartist on twitter has come up with a theory on […]
