Just checked it out to see Brian and Matt play together. Brian Posehn has his own podcast called Brian Posehs's Nerd Poker. It's definitely a different vibe and the first season is a bit hard to listen to but there is ahuge back catalog.
Whoever does the sfx needs to chill the hell out. It's hard to mesh with the tone Mercer's setting when he gives the grave mission to the heroes when there's random raptor noises and screaming on a loop for too long.
@@Mister_Mag00 More of he's just really bonded with Arkhan, I mean that's a character who's been through a lot with Joe, I don't blame him for wanting to play his favorite and sentimental oc.
Wait for the end.. I run ToA - and my opinion is, this could have been the point where Arkhan turned really bad. Or, and that would be a huge plot twist: At the end of this campaign, might see that there is only one possibility to stop Acererak.. To become more evil badass than him - which means, Hand of Vecna and maybe soon also the Eye of Vecna..?!
@@YungHomeslice Or was it? No seriously the eye and the hand appears too be destroyed and then reappear in Vecna's vaults unless someone kills a wielder of the hand and eye with the sword of Kas.
Alright... Karen from Daredevil PLAYS D&D??? I am speechless. I am slo writeless. I have no words to explain adequately the joy in knowing this. Just... oh my god.
Great story work. Like how the DM is able to draw your attention into the story and the actions of the adventurers. The people who are playing the adventurers are well adept at working with the character that they have chosen to be
Now this is an adventure, the people are great and Matt nailed it with another awesome DM lead keep up the great story and videos, I thought I was really there with force grey in the their quest lol

Of all celebs I've heard that played D&D, I NEVER (in a million years) would've imagined that Dylan from Suite Life was among them. I wonder if Brenda Song, Ashley Tisdale or his brother, Cole are players as well? If yes, they could have a Suite Life in the Dungeon sort of scenario going on
I remember reading [don't quote me on this, don't remember the source (probably Reddit)] that he plays alot and has his own games but doesn't like talking at all about Suite Life either altogether or just while playing D&D. So if that's true, he might not be into that specific D&D scenario. But that could've been false info I read, who knows?
I definitely thought that it was the other Sprouse, and then he started talking and I REALIZED! It's the "cool" one who's playing D&D! The world is a magical place
Man Im Really liking this DM. Sound Effects and everything. I've never played before, but I'm going to play for the first time tomorrow. I'm pretty excited. This guy really is amazing.
@@TragGaming "A few VA works" does not makes justice, and even if it's true than he is a celebrity im DnD, many more like me know him before that because of is works in game like Resident Evil 4, Overwatch, etc.
@@TragGaming I think you have his notoriety kinda backwards lol. Yea he's a celeb in the DND world... but like... You're entirely underselling his voice acting career, almost.. kinda disrespectfully
@@bloodydove5718 Hes better known for his work in the DnD community over his VA work. Hardly anyone knew who he was until Critical Role blew up and then people started looking into his VA work, at which point they realized he did voices in a ton of games.
@@TragGaming ehhh, Just like Phil LaMarr is widely known because of his voice acting, so is Mercer (not to the same degree). People can recognize voices, even with voice actors changing theirs for specific characters. And just like how people look up characters for animate/digital shows and movies, they do that for games as well. Just like Cristian said they knew of Matt Mercer Before CR, so did I. And its because his voice acting credits is far more than "a few VA works". And thats what i was largely getting at, reducing his massive list of esteemed credits to "hes done a few VA work" is almost disrespectful
Its very obvious Matt does such a wonderful job of preparing. And his vocalized sound effects are amazing. I used to walk around the house practicing voice overs and I bet he does the same thing. Drove the spouse batty! 😂😂😅😅
Back when Penny was still single she would watch the Superbowls with her friends, and Leonard and Sheldon would be hosting D&D sessions... I picture Joe Manganiello sitting in stairwell, shouting encouragements towards both appartments, eating cheetos in his Steelers garb.
Hi, I'm here in 2023, but so I can share with a friend. This video is actually what led me to critical role. I was like "who is that DM he's so good" searched for what else he was in and found critical role. Crazy times.
Just goes to show how much the players of critical role contribute to Matt's excellence. Good players are as important if not more important as a good DM. Not that these guys aren't goos but they are leagues apart. Mercer has to narrate a hell of a lot as they are too quiet.
My friends have decided, after 30 years of gaming, that I should run a game. This is what they have chosen for me to run. Wheeee. This is good research!
Hmm. This is published on the D&D channel? I expected a little better sound quality, folks. The background sounds and music sometimes push over the actors' voices, and the compression of the mix can't hide the bursts of static after every vocal cadence from each of the actors, especially the dynamic voice of the DM. This story is fantastic and super entertaining, but with a proper production crew, there has to be a better sound balance.
@XakashinaX Hey kid, I appreciate that you didn't understand any of what they said and that makes you feel stupid so you lash out. I just want you to know it's okay. You are stupid.
Music and ambient sounds shouldn't drown out the DM... it should be background stuff that subconsciously helps set the mood. It's a crime to drown out Matt Mercer's DM'ing
I watch this and I am like "is that Jughead from Riverdale?"... look it up, feel stupid it's not him, look up the real actors name and find out it's his identical twin brother and feel vindicated :D

Matt Mercer out there DMing absolutely everything.
This is probably the best lighting I've ever seen in content that wasn't produced for TV.
"Even in Faerun do they know Don't Stop Believing. It's cross planar." - Mercer, Nov 17, 2017.
that said, now Marisha is gonna mishap-planeshift everyone into Azeroth.

Been watching Force Grey: Lost City of Omu over and over. Would love to see this group again.
Enjoy this so much more than critical roll

were there other seasons of this? First guy says he leveled up since last time.
@@hbkx5season 1 was taken down due to Chris having legal issues. It’s back up now. It’s not as good as this one.

This. The sound effects aren't just loud: they also feel out of place. Not to mention the static accompanying their voices.
The Sound really is terrible.
@SpinazFou This man sound designs
Much of that shit really doesn't fit... annoyed me cause you can't turn it down yourself...
Yeah, the background music and SFX is really distracting.
Karen Page and Deathstroke, I dig it.
manu bennet plays deathstroke, not joe
Joe plays Deathstroke in the movies.
I had no idea. You're right, my bad.
or Jessica and Alcide in TrueBlood
He's also flash Thompson
Manganiello: I'm playing Arkhan the Cruel.
Me: Oh? OH. WAIT, WTF? HIM?
Don't worry, it's pre-Vecna.
its all he ever plays...ever....he loves his OP character
@@Mister_Mag00 More of he's just really bonded with Arkhan, I mean that's a character who's been through a lot with Joe, I don't blame him for wanting to play his favorite and sentimental oc.
I haven't seen Dylan Sprouse in anything since I was a kid! When did he grow that glorious mane?
He has his own dnd show called pug crawl.
he's looking hot
His sunken dark circles around his eyes tell me he's been dabbling in the long lost druid art of opioid use.
he smokes a lot of weed idk about opioids but he looks and acts fine too me
I KNOW HOW TO WIPE MY OWN ASS I KNOW HOW TO WIPE MY OWN ASS!
seeing Arkhan, pre vecna hand stealing traitor is interesting
Kalma Clemens boils my blood dude
Wait for the end.. I run ToA - and my opinion is, this could have been the point where Arkhan turned really bad. Or, and that would be a huge plot twist: At the end of this campaign, might see that there is only one possibility to stop Acererak.. To become more evil badass than him - which means, Hand of Vecna and maybe soon also the Eye of Vecna..?!
If its in the same universe, the Eye of Venca was destroyed by Pelor, so I doubt he would be able to get his hands on that
@@YungHomeslice Or was it? No seriously the eye and the hand appears too be destroyed and then reappear in Vecna's vaults unless someone kills a wielder of the hand and eye with the sword of Kas.
This was how/when he decided it made sence to take a few levels in barbarian after meeting and having a thing for jamilla
Alright... Karen from Daredevil PLAYS D&D??? I am speechless. I am slo writeless. I have no words to explain adequately the joy in knowing this. Just... oh my god.
Keep it in your pants chief
Actually I would think all actors would enjoy it with matt mercer lol
That's not Karen.....THATS JESSICA FUCKING HAMBY
Albetrax, Karen from Daredevil/The Punisher (both Netflix) and Jessica Hamby. Same actress, different character.
That's what the DD in Daredevil's chest stands for. Dungeons and Dragons.
Great story work. Like how the DM is able to draw your attention into the story and the actions of the adventurers. The people who are playing the adventurers are well adept at working with the character that they have chosen to be

I want matt to finally get to be a player i would watch that all day #MercerDMofdestiny
Did you see the Stream of Annihilation? (Tower of the Curator)
Liam O'Brien did a one shot he was a player in, I think Taliesin did one too. Those should give you your fix lol

He has a habit of dying really early on lol
angry rapper Watch him play Paranoia and Dread on G&S too! He's wonderful as a player too. :)
I seriously had to pause the vid and spend a few minutes processing that Dylan Sprouse plays D&D and he's a main character in this. Holy fucking shit.
Literally the same lol
Bordor brought me here
Did NOT expect the lady from Daredevil to be playing! Awesome!
I wanna say great job to all parties involved. This is such high quality, so excited to start this journey.
The background music and effect noises are way too loud and need to be toned down.
I'm here because of Idle Champions... Totally forgot all about Arkhan until I happened to look at his bio in game and noticed he was "force grey."
I love your story telling abilities and quick thinking responses. You are an amazing dnd dm
Your audio guy needs a slap.

This is such a great series and all the players are really cool.
Keep it up!
I definitely thought that it was the other Sprouse, and then he started talking and I REALIZED! It's the "cool" one who's playing D&D!
The world is a magical place
Finally. we'll see the rest of it on youtube right I don't need to pay to see the rest of it right.
I mean, you never really had to. It was free to watch the VODs on twitch.
Man Im Really liking this DM. Sound Effects and everything. I've never played before, but I'm going to play for the first time tomorrow. I'm pretty excited. This guy really is amazing.
Dude is a legend in DnD. Name's Matt Mercer, and hes done a few VA work but is mostly known for being basically a celebrity in the DnD community.

Hey wizards can we get a version of this without the music and noise in the background.
... Is that Dylan-fucking-sprouse!?
Chuchu Pow No, it's just Dylan Sprouse. :P
Why is that name supposed to be important
@@floppydisk4500 He's Zack from the 2 Suite Life series, loads of us as kids loved that show!!
@@siamsama2581 I didn't love the show, but I watched a lot of it. Just not great with famous people's names
I had gotten so used to bearded Matt, seeing him shaven shook me for a sec there

YES!
Who here in 2023 because of a certain guest appearance in CR campaign 3? 🤚🏽
🤚
Hi, I'm here in 2023, but so I can share with a friend. This video is actually what led me to critical role. I was like "who is that DM he's so good" searched for what else he was in and found critical role. Crazy times.
i cant believe i am just now finding this campaign!! i stumbled upon this after catching up on episode 117 campaign 2 of critical role
EXU Calamity here... have no idea why I haven't known about this before
Just goes to show how much the players of critical role contribute to Matt's excellence. Good players are as important if not more important as a good DM.
Not that these guys aren't goos but they are leagues apart. Mercer has to narrate a hell of a lot as they are too quiet.
Just found this, i'm currently in my free week/sabbatical/call it what you wish, i just came when i realized there is allready 18 episodes of more D&D
Holy crap just got back from watching the punisher man she is everywhere
Oh how fast i would have watched, if i knew it was Matthew Mercer DMing
WTH is Karen Page doing there!?!? Love it!!
Because she plays D&D for years and is also a Dungeon Master. Who, btw now started also a D&D campaign with her current colleagues of the tv show.
YES D&D FOREVER
I love life.
A beauty and a D&D player. She's perfect!
Wow, so glad Dylan is there to undo any atmosphere the DM sets up.
No hand of vecna for arkhan yet, such a pity
This was before that, this aired on Twitch back in June or July.
Mizerable Git arkahnnis slowly becoming my favorite charecter in mat's universe
Does Vecna even exist in Forgotten Realms?
if it is the same universe, where does waterdeep stand in relation to emon?
It's not the same universe Exandria is a world created by Matt Mercer. The ones used for Tomb of Annihilation is the world of Toril.
I’m just realizing Dylan is Zack from suite life of Zack and Cody
My friends have decided, after 30 years of gaming, that I should run a game. This is what they have chosen for me to run. Wheeee. This is good research!
YAY!!!! Been waiting for this! 😍❤️⚔️
Matt Mercer is my favorite DM ever 🙌
mathew mercer is a damn good narrator
Since when in the nine hells did Mercer have another series?!?!
This is quite old. Also this is basically Tomb of Annihilation but done by Mercer
Yeah. Just a suggestion by the Tubes.
Same yall. Never knew this existed and pretty exited :)
“Very awkward man”
“Which one of us?”
“Both”
Love it 😂
Damn, Matthew doing 2 campaigns
I didn't think it would be entertaining to watch others play, but I'm pleasantly surprised.
i'm a simple man i see mercer i click it
Stoked to hear the sound track for Sharn City of Towers in the background!
ironically utkarsh is already an amazing d&d name
I have no clue why but the DM reminds me of Aragorn from Lord of The Rings I think it was his acting or maybe the music but Dannnnnggggggggggggg 10/10
Matt mecer
Daborah
Joe manganiello
Dylan sprouse
Thats a perfect dnd group
cole schubert looks like you haven’t seen critical role
How have I watched all of critical role and never heard about this?!
Matt Mercer is the best!
Matthew Mercer is so damn good man.
I know right? :)
I love that Medley of monster noises in the background, pretty sure I heard some Land Before Time-style sharpteeth xD
And please save Jim Darkmagic.
I know you came here afer Bor'dor Dog'Son, just like me
Mathew Mercer’s deep voice sounds like an Uruk from shadow of Mordor/War
he did a good chunk of voice acting for shadows of mordor
No way, is the dude from my childhood into DnD... I’m absolutely amazed
I signed up for Project alpha solely for CelebriD&D & Critical Role. I hope you continue to do more episodes, keep up the great work.

Sounded like a valid criticism to me.
Django Cribbs no u
I'm glad someone pointed it out in better words than I could. I was getting a weird feeling at the end of a lot of their sentences.
Aw man, I would love to watch this, but the background noise is just too loud :(
Hey! I recognize Brian; he played Bert, the Geologist, on Big Bang Theory!
"I look like Becky Lynch but with an eyepatch" haha!
thumbs up to the sound crew!
YESSSSSSSSS! A new Mercer DND series! XD I am prepared!
"Fair!... very, fair."
lol
Oh good. It's my favored twin. The sound guy needs to tone it down by like a hundred.
Wtf! When did this happen! This is a god damn gold mine!
I wonder if Dylan and Brian remembered each other from that one episode on Suite Life on Deck where Brian was a researcher in Antarctica
LOVE for a chance to play in one of Matt's games.
Looks like Dave Rubins studio!
I really love this its pretty hard for me to pay attention 😕 and the music helps
great episode!
My respect for McCree went WAY after this. Seems like that dude is in everything!
Music and ambient sounds shouldn't drown out the DM... it should be background stuff that subconsciously helps set the mood. It's a crime to drown out Matt Mercer's DM'ing
this is the most beautiful D&D game ever, and Brian!
You haven't seen Critical Role then have you?
It was way more difficult to find this video than it should be... Dungeons and Dragons official youtube really needs to consolidate their playlists.
Good sound effects!
"I play Arkan, the war criminal" hahahahahaha
This is awesome. First time I see this. Reminds me of bauldurs gate. I want do this. Thnx guys!
It's about time!
Brian Posehn is so damned awesome, and doubly so with that Becky Lynch reference
I'll never understand why people waste the time to unlike a video like this. Why not just move on with your day?
Anyone else notice a kind of irony in the "rebel" twin from Suite Life is the one playing D&D not the "nerdy" one?
Matt is back!
Woot, Waterdeep: my old stamping ground!
I would love to see Matt DM an adventure in Undermountain.
what happen to the monk?
Good and evil alignments in the same group? Not sure how well that's going to mesh ...
" I look like Becky Lynch."
LOVE IT
he is an awesome DM
this is awesome
I think you guys found your rhythm! Definitely looking forward to future Force Grey seasons! Where do I go to pay for early access content?
Totally wish they would've done an intro in the comic shop with these guys lol
I watch this and I am like "is that Jughead from Riverdale?"... look it up, feel stupid it's not him, look up the real actors name and find out it's his identical twin brother and feel vindicated :D
Or, you know, the sweet life of Zach and Cody, where they star together as twins.
suprised flash thompson does some nerdy things :^)
