I wish we could've seen the rest of the cast completely lose it as well but seeing Travis having to spit out his beer, Laura and Tal both collapse in laughter while Sam and Liam simultaneously suffocate-clap, and then Sam completely blue-screened, it's just the best.

This episode is so fucking cool. I love how each of the characters have their own ways of playing: Scanlan is a power gamer who’s a little *too* into it, Vax is clueless and doesn’t get it, Vex is a little weirded out, but is kinda into it, and Percy is quiet, but knows the game.

It does speak a lot of "That Guy" DMs. The ones with the self insert DM-PC that is great at everything, always making whatever they want happen regardless of player choice or rolls, ect. I actually think it's perfectly done on the meta-level. I usually think of those DMs as either inexperienced in how the game works or just very egotistical and put their own enjoyment over everyone else's. That IMO perfectly what Grog of all people probably would have done after having just discovered the game.

He probably refuses to watch it out of spite. He said to Travis during an episode of Talks Machina: "if you ever do an in-game session DM-ing as Grog, please... PLEASE invite one of my NPCs so I can play!" Cold, Travis. Cold.
I imagine "globular" is just Grog's new favorite word because it's the one big word he knows. He now goes around using it in any situation he can think of. "Why don't you just go poke the dragon, Percy? Lost your globulars?". "What goes globular, comes globular".
Just imagine if the Mighty Nein found Grog in a tavern who invites them to play Bunions&Flagons with him to pass the time, some time. That'd be amazing.
I mean. That'd be a great quest hook. Have him be like a ghost or something that tries to help a member of the party find rest by finishing a game they never did. If the characters ever feel boring or stale to anyone they could use it as a break
I love how Percy just decided to use all the gadgets he had that he never got to use often. Like using Diplomacy, Manners, his Sword. Plus him trying to use a spear.
I hope that in Season 2. When the rest of the new characters are just sitting and eating. Grog just randomly comes in, sits down at the table and is like "Alight... So I wanna play this game, and you guys will play it with me." And Grog should be a legend at this point so they can't really object to him.
"I don't like steam, it is angry water and it makes my face hurt." "Grog cant read cursive." "Are we gonna fight a baby now?" "Can we do things we cant do in life?" "You can try" "Grog is very dignified." "Im super rich because I never really buy anything." "My name? Is *Bob* ."
I love that the entire time this game is going Vax is just confused. It's like deep down somewhere Liam can feel this happening and hes just screaming "IM TOO MANY LEVELS DEEP!!"
Something about this bothered me visually every time I watched it until I just now realized that Travis fills up like 32% more space than Matt, even after the DM cam is pulled back to make space for how tall he is.
It's the first thing I noticed when I loaded the video and saw Travis in the DM seat and it made me laugh. It's honestly hilarious how much space he takes up in the frame but also how uncomfortable he looks (Travis did great of course, but seeing how nervous he was is adorable.
[About a door that simply opened without molesting half of the team...] Vax: My own bathroom's door in Whitestone does me 1 point of bludgeoning damage each time I open it! Percy: Yes, it's designed for that, I mean it's a DOOR! Vax: This door is faulty... I can relate to that x)
*Vax’ildan:* “My own bathroom door in Whitestone hits me one point of bludgeoning damage _every time_ I use it!” *Percival:* “Because it’s designed for that - I mean, it’s a door!” *(beat)* *Vax’ildan:* “Well, this is faulty. This door is faulty.”
@@ryanotorpedo Hand-carved battle maps! Hand-carved dice! Hand-carved altitude stand thing! And then he complains because they made the wrong choices and he didn't get to use the hand-carved tarrasque mini.
Grog - ''...Roll an attack at disadvantage.'' Percy - ''Why at disadvantage?'' Grog - ''Because I've never seen you throw a fucking spear before!'' Beautiful. :)
'There was a guy with long hair playing at the tavern.' since the animated show has depicted several characters who look like Matt AND showed a group of guards playing the game too, it is very possible Grog actually saw someone playing this game in the tavern lol
What's funny is he's also good at the one thing Matt isn't: narration. If they could somehow do Dragon Ball fusion, you'd have the best DM that ever lived.
"Maybe we should just *support him* and go with it!" - Sam speaking to the table about Travis through Scanlan speaking to Vox Machina about Grog. I love Sam. Roflmao
It's ridiculous that he even needed to do that. Did they (read: Liam) really think just being uncooperative the whole time was going to make for good content? Once again, Sam shows why he's the runaway all star of this show.
@@MrRyanxdavey that was just RP and good fun because Vax and Grog be like that. That's also why Grog is mean to him all game long and yes it does make for good content because it is a meta game and those interactions between characters being players and characters in the game are just nice :)
This is the truest experience of a typical home D&D session I have ever seen. Right down to using children's toys and cooking utensils on the maps. I appreciate Critical roles production value but this feels like home.
I love how Sam's idea of Scanlan roleplaying is like a sad version of when he was Gavroche in Les Mis. Also his pure delight at diving into the "yes, and" of Travis playing Grog DMing
I love all of them, but just seeing Laura's reactions, she seamlessly goes between Vex reactions, and when Travis pulls out an unexpected situation, she smiles sooo much :) She's so impressed and proud of her husband and I REALLY hope she runs one soon! Just about everyone has DMed at least once except Marisha(tomorrow night I heard she is though right?), Laura, and Ashley(maybe likely once she's done filming, but maybe not cause she is obviously the busiest so maybe she can't prep even a one shot)

Correct me if I'm wrong,(edit added, thanks nirobu for the link. I stand corrected. But will leave the comment for others to find.) but their second campaign characters weren't picked or made yet. Plus it takes place like 20 years before C2 technically.
Grog at 50:35-50:45 is just PRICELESS!!!! "Because you're staring at the wall like a nerd. You notice the mortar is very fine." Travis you big lug never change lol
Oh God! I want a similar episode sometime in C2, only with Nott DMing and Caduseus saying "I don't want to play my character as myself, can I role up a lavender Tiefling with a complete lack of inhibitions?"
I feel, while a good idea, it be super weird. I mean think about it. Jester: ok let’s play Cad: sure but I’m gonna be a copy of your friend that died horribly
I hate you mate, I didnt need to think of this and now I will never know of this joy. But failing Gilmore, I would also go with Mercer playing as Senokir.
Liam did such a fucking great job at playing a character who had never played D&D before 😂 when he got out the dagger in that first encounter I lost it. "I'll add my Wisdom modifier!" "WHY?"
Watching Grog become more and more refined with his speech and his vocabulary throughout the game. I have two head canons at this point that I can't choose from. 1. Being he's actually far more intelligent and just act's like he's not because it's funnier that way. 2. Being that he found a potion that enhances his intelligence for a few hours, listened to people at the tavern play this game. Then decided that THIS was what he was going to use it for.
Yeah, it was definitely a secret character/baby announcement. That’s why Travis didn’t say the blue lady was a tiefling or it would be too obvious and the whole fan base would’ve lost their collective shit on the first day of campaign two

It does speak a lot of "That Guy" DMs. The ones with the self insert DM-PC that is great at everything, always making whatever they want happen regardless of player choice or rolls, ect.
I actually think it's perfectly done on the meta-level. I usually think of those DMs as either inexperienced in how the game works or just very egotistical and put their own enjoyment over everyone else's.
That IMO perfectly what Grog of all people probably would have done after having just discovered the game.
@@hellbringer96 its actually a good game setting where meta gaming would be expected.
because it's TRUE to their characters.
I can imagine Vex lying about all her roles (something i wish they did In this game)
So what the players would need to do, is role play themselves in how Grog's mind works as seeing Grog roleplay a DM. If that makes sense.
@BakPak Gamingsince its not DnD but a joke version of it so i guess BMing?
Tho thats why I prefer the general term of Game Master / GMing. As its system agnostic and surprise surprise DND is not the only existing rpg :V
I wanna see a one shot run by Jester in this way, where Jester in character is the DM
Anything we could imagine, would be turned upside down and reshuffled.
oh gods the chaos that would ensue. "technicallyyyyyyyy"
All the candy and pastries and ribbons and bows
And the aggressive flirting with fjord
Or Just imagine Mollymauk being a DM :,)
The way everyone devolves into just tears after Scanlan tries to poison Trinket is so fucking funny. I've never seen Liam laugh so hard.
I've never seen Sam laugh so hard!
*Scanlan* *as* *Scanlan:* "I'm going to inspire Trinket... By giving him some Meat."
*Me:* NOOOOO!!!!

Thank you for the stamps
Mark D nicely done 👍

Let's all give Travis some credit for DM'ing max level characters for his first time DM'ing
That...yeah. Didnt realize that. Good point
Travis didint dm max lvl characters.... grog did
He might’ve DMed offscreen before
"I'm not asking you this in character," said Laura, asking Scanlan in character as Vex.
BWAAAM
Lol
The brilliant thing was asking him in Vex's normal accent.
I wish there was a reaction video of Mercer watching this.
Oh god, I'd pay to watch that
Both Matt and Marisha would be CACKLING
He probably refuses to watch it out of spite. He said to Travis during an episode of Talks Machina: "if you ever do an in-game session DM-ing as Grog, please... PLEASE invite one of my NPCs so I can play!"
Cold, Travis. Cold.
Probably he and Marisha watched this together with tears coming out of their eyes from laughing so much! I like to think so!
Yes I want to see that!
Man, Pike's reading and math lessons are really paying off! Proud of you, Grog.
I imagine "globular" is just Grog's new favorite word because it's the one big word he knows. He now goes around using it in any situation he can think of. "Why don't you just go poke the dragon, Percy? Lost your globulars?". "What goes globular, comes globular".
Sam’s bit of doing an outrageously bad character voice that keeps changing is pure genius
With all of the other hints at C2 characters from Travis I swear Sam was hinting at Nott with that voice lol
@huayujie143 And Liam pointing out that one of the dice he was using was BOOK themed.
the starting npcs in the tavern being a blue skinned lady and a half orc and then jester and ford being in the next campaign is amazing
with a baby!!!! 😍😍
And there was a baby. Wouldn't Laura be pregnant with Ronin right around this time?
Just imagine if the Mighty Nein found Grog in a tavern who invites them to play Bunions&Flagons with him to pass the time, some time. That'd be amazing.
I mean. That'd be a great quest hook. Have him be like a ghost or something that tries to help a member of the party find rest by finishing a game they never did. If the characters ever feel boring or stale to anyone they could use it as a break
the Mighty Nein finds Grog in a tavern, but then some half-elf pokes Fjord in the eyes :)
Thats the VS one-shot. The Tavern Dm dms their battle royal at some tavern
58:10 There's a version of Matt that exists in Exandria. It's canon now.
her name is Allura :)
@@Cadefullerton14 fucking grand!
And he plays Bunions and Flagons every week to entertain people
Catthew Bursor
There is famud comic where he is in shot. Can't remember which one
The fact that travis made the room that shape, and how hard laura laughed at it is an example of two people who were made for eachother.
Yeah and the second room, someone thought this was an egg cell. Grog does not know biology. It boobs.
This is so meta. I love it. I've never seen 'Bad DM' done so well.
After years of Matt trying...it was GROG who finally managed to split the party.
I love the look of realization hit Travis when he does a character voice doing a character's voice and how long this is going to be
I love how Grog messes with Vax's roll results, that is one of those little fun details that make it really feel like Grog is indeed the BM.
Yes! Messing with Vax and helping Scanlan was so Grog! Travis's genious was evident throughout this episode.
When you learn that fjord and Jester make a cameo + THE BABY at 17:57
Now that’s what you call foreshadowing
The baby is Nott
Thom Hixenbaugh Nott what?
@@parkerharris4489 Nott a real baby.
Nott the brave
*fjoreshadowing
I love how Percy just decided to use all the gadgets he had that he never got to use often. Like using Diplomacy, Manners, his Sword. Plus him trying to use a spear.
“You throw the spear at disadvantage.”
“Why?”
“Cause I never saw you throw a fucking spear.”
This is empirical evidence to have Travis DM a game yearly.
Grog's Game. Should be a national holiday.
Bi-annually at least.
I hope that in Season 2. When the rest of the new characters are just sitting and eating. Grog just randomly comes in, sits down at the table and is like "Alight... So I wanna play this game, and you guys will play it with me." And Grog should be a legend at this point so they can't really object to him.
When Marisha goes to labour, Grog would be taking over the show by rage.
@@TheRedAzuki Nah. Jester should be the dm.
"I don't like steam, it is angry water and it makes my face hurt."
"Grog cant read cursive."
"Are we gonna fight a baby now?"
"Can we do things we cant do in life?" "You can try"
"Grog is very dignified."
"Im super rich because I never really buy anything."
"My name? Is *Bob* ."
51:17 you can see the exact moment where Liam realizes what the room is shaped like
18:00 .... a half orc man and a lady with blueish skin???? TRAVIS YOU WERE HINTING!!!!!
Heather Anne At what?
Ricardo Rodriguez In the new campaign Travis is playing a half-orc and Laura is playing a blue tiefling.
Cain Larson Oh...oh shit...now I want that to happen
Cain Larson They are married, that means they can do more than with Taliesin
Ricardo Rodriguez Also... with the baby... and Laura is pregnant.
I love that the entire time this game is going Vax is just confused. It's like deep down somewhere Liam can feel this happening and hes just screaming "IM TOO MANY LEVELS DEEP!!"
I think that is the only part about this that I didn’t like. Everything else was awesome but Liam’s bit got old quickly
Yeah, that one got a little bit tedious. It's not that it wasn't funny, it's just that it wasn't all THAT funny and it did slow the pace down a lot.
He’s the dude playing the dude disguised as the other dude
I loved it too :) It was exactly how I would play it because realistically nobody just knows how to play D&D immediately. So good :D
@@amelianyquist1215 he is also often accused of metagaming.
Something about this bothered me visually every time I watched it until I just now realized that Travis fills up like 32% more space than Matt, even after the DM cam is pulled back to make space for how tall he is.
Travis is a freaking tank lol
dude this comment made me legitimately laugh out loud. hahahaha I didn't realize until I read this and now I can't unsee it
It's the first thing I noticed when I loaded the video and saw Travis in the DM seat and it made me laugh. It's honestly hilarious how much space he takes up in the frame but also how uncomfortable he looks (Travis did great of course, but seeing how nervous he was is adorable.
[About a door that simply opened without molesting half of the team...]
Vax: My own bathroom's door in Whitestone does me 1 point of bludgeoning damage each time I open it!
Percy: Yes, it's designed for that, I mean it's a DOOR!
Vax: This door is faulty...
I can relate to that x)
1:36:41 for the dialogue:)
*Vax’ildan:* “My own bathroom door in Whitestone hits me one point of bludgeoning damage _every time_ I use it!”
*Percival:* “Because it’s designed for that - I mean, it’s a door!”
*(beat)*
*Vax’ildan:* “Well, this is faulty. This door is faulty.”
I love how everyone's character accents gets stronger for everyone, Percy gets posher, Vex more British, Vax more pompous. Amazing.
And Scanlan gets.... More Scanlan
Also Scanlan becomes even more of a pauper joker, Keyleigh is dead and Pike is perpetually drunk.
its actually because they where drinking during this game.

Rewatching this after years gone by. I would love to see Travis DM another one- shot, but THIS time he is Chetney.
There would be bosoms galore!
Chetney where did you get all these toys?
Made em lol
That would be awesome!
@@ryanotorpedo Hand-carved battle maps! Hand-carved dice! Hand-carved altitude stand thing! And then he complains because they made the wrong choices and he didn't get to use the hand-carved tarrasque mini.
And Dorian HAS to guest star 😂😭
"we heard you liked role playing games, so we put a role playing game in your role playing game, so you can role play while you role play!"
Better yet! Why not role play in the role play in the roleplay?! Sam would be completely unintelligible!
"I ate that meatball from Scanlan and I fuckin diiiied.......I dont wanna make any assumptions but...."
I am fucking dead XD
I couldn't stop laughing
Probably the best moment in the whole episode
Travis bringing a t-rex to fight Scanlan but forgetting to prep a triceratops is the most Grog thing he's done planning this one-shot.
Grog - ''...Roll an attack at disadvantage.''
Percy - ''Why at disadvantage?''
Grog - ''Because I've never seen you throw a fucking spear before!''
Beautiful. :)
Makes sense to me lol.
It's something I've used as a DM with my players XD
Lmfao this is the greatest one shot ever
Anyone have a time stamp?
@@Grimsoth 1:25:33
Matt has them so spoked they're afraid of doors
Remember the ghost door during the rakshasha mission?
GrandiaKnight And the door to Pelor's chapel in the Briarwood arc.
"The door to my bathroom hits me for 1 point of bludgeoning damage every time I use it"
"Well of course, its a door!"
Except that Grog has a +30 vs doors
"And in front of Scanlan materializes, to his horror, a fucking T-Rex."
Best Grog line ever! Hands down.
48:34 the moment Sam realizes that if Trinket's in the game, he can kill Trinket
“Wait a minute, I can’t kill the real fictional Trinket, but I _can_ kill the fake fictional Trinket!”
That moment you realize Travis voices Thor in the Marvel games/shows makes Sam's read even more hilarious.
'There was a guy with long hair playing at the tavern.' since the animated show has depicted several characters who look like Matt AND showed a group of guards playing the game too, it is very possible Grog actually saw someone playing this game in the tavern lol
They are playing a one shot of their dnd characters playing a dnd one shot of themselves.
Seems legit
jp5ftw mind = blown
oneshotception.
jp5ftw they're dudes playing dudes disguised as other dudes
I would love to see Grog DM a game where Pike is in it and just see all the favoritism :P
gets a nat 20 on pike
grog says he misses
pike roles anything it's a crit that does 5 d 10
Awe pike
The opposite of his treatment of Vax in this one! 😂
It's hard to be a good DM.
But it's nearly impossible to be good at being a bad DM.
Travis is just that good.
It helps that Grog has no idea what math is or how to count
+10 Charisma
What's funny is he's also good at the one thing Matt isn't: narration. If they could somehow do Dragon Ball fusion, you'd have the best DM that ever lived.
Scanlons in game voice sounds like freaking Doby from Harry Potter.
What makes you think Matt is bad at narration?
There was a long haired guy in a tavern playing it and I watched him for hours I may go back next week and watch again
"Maybe we should just *support him* and go with it!" - Sam speaking to the table about Travis through Scanlan speaking to Vox Machina about Grog.
I love Sam. Roflmao
gcollins1992 He's so meta it's great 😂
Sam is a very cherished member of the vo community.
It's ridiculous that he even needed to do that. Did they (read: Liam) really think just being uncooperative the whole time was going to make for good content? Once again, Sam shows why he's the runaway all star of this show.
@@MrRyanxdavey that was just RP and good fun because Vax and Grog be like that. That's also why Grog is mean to him all game long and yes it does make for good content because it is a meta game and those interactions between characters being players and characters in the game are just nice :)
This is the truest experience of a typical home D&D session I have ever seen. Right down to using children's toys and cooking utensils on the maps. I appreciate Critical roles production value but this feels like home.
"There seems to be some sort of architecture about it" is my favorite description of a building.
God this episode is such a meta mindfuck 😂
ZerkerHealzzz96 It's interesting to see them be Vox Machina without a DM in Layer 2 of D&Dception.
Mehaz 2 DMs? “You want to roll a dice? Make a dexterity check” 😂😂
It's like they are playing in the 5th or 25th person. I love it, but sweet jeeezus it's very possible that my fragile mind might break.
*mecca
This is so meta it hurts.
Everyone laughing at how Grog is a bad GM but nobody talks about Vax being so fricking lost, it's hella funny to watch
"It was a wedding gift. Who cares?" I laughed so hard at that having just started thank you cards for shitty wedding gifts
Ah, this “Bunions and Flagons” game must be a rip off of my favourite game, “Cave Systems And Fire Lizards”!
They all stem from "Half plate armor" anyway.
Watch yourself in the caaaves! There's lizards....
Which is of course derived from the original classic “Rock and Hot”
Tombs and Salamanders
Caverns and Fire Scaleys
I love how Sam's idea of Scanlan roleplaying is like a sad version of when he was Gavroche in Les Mis. Also his pure delight at diving into the "yes, and" of Travis playing Grog DMing
"How do you all know what's going on?"
"Just 'yes, and...' Vax."
"No, but..."
I love all of them, but just seeing Laura's reactions, she seamlessly goes between Vex reactions, and when Travis pulls out an unexpected situation, she smiles sooo much :) She's so impressed and proud of her husband and I REALLY hope she runs one soon! Just about everyone has DMed at least once except Marisha(tomorrow night I heard she is though right?), Laura, and Ashley(maybe likely once she's done filming, but maybe not cause she is obviously the busiest so maybe she can't prep even a one shot)
“It’s no mystery that Grog likes you better than he likes me, so--“
“SHUT UP LET GROG TELL A STORY”
To quote Liam from a previous session. "I laughed so hard I grew a six pack"
to quote Travis: "You take five points of stupid damage"
What session was that again?
Curious Tides after Pike's flashcards get narrated: "I have a fresh new set of six-pack abs after the last ten minutes!"
"Are you arguing with the BM?" -Grog
Pretty funny because in canon, Scanlan really thinks he has argued with a BM
BM stands for Big Man
Ezekiel Reyes what’s BM in game?
@@crunch9876 he called himself bm instead of gm which is what grog would do but travis said BM because it stands for big man which is grog it's an Easter egg

I so want an entire episode of the animated series dedicated to this.
Oh God! I want a similar episode sometime in C2, only with Nott DMing and Caduseus saying "I don't want to play my character as myself, can I role up a lavender Tiefling with a complete lack of inhibitions?"
This but J e s t e r
I feel, while a good idea, it be super weird. I mean think about it.
Jester: ok let’s play
Cad: sure but I’m gonna be a copy of your friend that died horribly
too soon yes i know i replied a year later its STILL TOO SOON!
Me too, but it seems more of a Jester thing to do
I get the feeling that Cad would be the new player who somehow keeps rolling Nat 20's with no idea what it means
I would have loved to see Matt come in and play as Gilmore
That's why I don't read comments. So many false hopes...... :.(
I hate you mate, I didnt need to think of this and now I will never know of this joy. But failing Gilmore, I would also go with Mercer playing as Senokir.
Gilmore, Senokir or freaking Victor.
Well the entire reason they were playing a bunch of special sessions was a certain honeymoon that was going on...
And now i am saaad :< And i was enjoying this one shot too
Sam: "That's a LOT of apple juice!"
*immediately afterwards: lifts comedic oversized mug and drinks from it.*
The size is actually appropriate, if one considers it in proportions to Scanlan.
Liam did such a fucking great job at playing a character who had never played D&D before 😂 when he got out the dagger in that first encounter I lost it. "I'll add my Wisdom modifier!" "WHY?"
i love how you can hear the tech crew at some points losing their shit this is fantastic
Lol. I LOVE Liam’s commitment to Vax’s confusion
For me that joke got old fast. I wish he’d made the bit about trying to roleplay Vax’s broodiness and depression. Great parody material there
Grog: "Trinket takes 29 damage and Vex and Vax take half. So 19."
Scanlon: "19 is half of 29? That tracks for Grog..."
Love this ep.
Travis - "You take 5 points of Stupid damage." 2:39:21 I had to pause it and laughed for about 3 minutes, non-stop.
Watching Grog become more and more refined with his speech and his vocabulary throughout the game. I have two head canons at this point that I can't choose from.
1. Being he's actually far more intelligent and just act's like he's not because it's funnier that way.
2. Being that he found a potion that enhances his intelligence for a few hours, listened to people at the tavern play this game. Then decided that THIS was what he was going to use it for.
Head Canon accepted. cheers for that XD
@@leadwriter8998 You're Welcome.
Smart but still very much dumb Grog would absolutely do the second option.
I like the second one better. Seems on brand for Grog
Sorry for being a year late! Assuming you still remember this comment and/or have an interest in my feedback, I prefer option 2! But both are great!
Laura would have been about two months pregnant here, and they definitely would have prepped their characters for C2 by then!
Yeah, it was definitely a secret character/baby announcement. That’s why Travis didn’t say the blue lady was a tiefling or it would be too obvious and the whole fan base would’ve lost their collective shit on the first day of campaign two
Oh, I wondered if she was pregnant when near the end of the game she looked like she was about to throw up for no reason.
@@creidy2018 when was there a blue lady?
OMG! The blue tiefling was Jester and the half-orc was Fjord! With a baby!
She had jester planed early c1 so 100% intentional
