I'm at episode 61. They are in the Feywild at the moment.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The Feywild arc was really fun.
Matt's Trinket face is evergreen. Any of the scenes with Victor the black powder are a blast. There's an NPC coming up after the Feywild that the mannerisms on top of the voice are just fantastic.
They did confirm last night that the new podcasts will be released exactly one week from when the episode airs.

I rewatched the first half of C2: Ep1 and what jumped out at me this time is the look of joy and excitement on the players' faces as each person introduces their character and speaks in their voice for the first time. They're genuinely enthralled with meeting these new people their friends have created.

Fun Critical Role/genre fandom fact:
Taliesin Jaffe, who plays Percy in the first campaign and Mollymauk in the second, started his career as Kenny in the movie "Mr. Mom" and made the first-known use of the word "woobie" (in reference to the character's beloved blanket.)

I'm now listening to both campaigns. I think Jester is my fav of the new set of characters.

Jester is fantastic and has inspired some truly adorable fan art.
I've been reading the Critical Role comic and it's been making me miss Tiberius. I realize there were some behind the scenes issues with Orion (in addition to some at the table) but Tibs was a fun character and Matt Colville has done an excellent job of replicating his personality on the page.

So tonight my 10th level party will be facing off against an 11th level stone giant Transmuter that I've made a legendary creature.
For all the complaints about how hard it is to die in 5E, there are definite exceptions, such as casting disintegrate at mid-level characters. Only the party tanks won't be instantly obliterated if they fail their save.

No disintegrations. (Well, of PCs anyway. Their dragon friend, however, didn't make it.)

So despite not being a fan of MMOs I got bored the last week and decided to give Neverwinter a try on my XBone. It's not bad. I find it odd that they had to drastically change the most videogame-like version of D&D (4E) but I'm enjoying it far more than my attempt at playing WoW ages ago.
I will say I was disappointed that the Paladin didn't feel sufficiently paladin-like but I'm having fun playing a rogue. (In PNP my choices are generally Paladin>Rogue>Wizard>Whatever I haven't played in a while or the group needs.)
