    I wanted to thank you all. I read once again all the comments last night and I was overwhelmed by your kindness. I used to feel guilty about the hours I was pouring into this project while I could do other work (school, not fandom-related) and I find it beautifully ironic that this is today the work I'm most known for. I hope I will find the time to do another! :D

      Please do, I'm now looking back on some of my favorite moments of CR after finally catching up completely!
      What if you set up a Patreon where people could support you to make these things?
      Maybe higher tier could vote on or give suggestions for scenes?
      It'll maybe earn you some cash and solidify animation as a skill that could end up being one of the most fulfilling things you do ^^
      I think a lot of critters would love that!

      It's also important to remember that this works because of the group. In a different group, it would be very easy for what Sam does to be annoying, but because everyone at that table knows each other and knows how far they can go and when they can do that stuff, he's able to do that kind of thing without causing problems. In a different group Sam might need to change his playstyle or at least play it cool and lowkey while he gauges how the table reacts to his shenanigans.

I'd understand acquaintances, or friends-of-friends (aka a group of randoms that you somehow managed to get yourself into) getting angry at this situation... But... I mean. First off, why even play with someone you don't know / who can deny you having fun by taking everything WAYYY TOO seriously, second, if it's in good fun, it always passes in my friend group. In fact, shit like this is encouraged.
      I might get bashed by my friends, though IN character, because they're like lawful good or something, but... Material for further socializing and expressing our characters with our very-comfortable-with-each-other friend-group = win for everyone...
      In fact, I might imagine myself pushing someone off of a cliff at some point, or jumping alone, for shock factor, if the opportunity arises, for fun, then doing a quick Feather Fall on them/us. It's just channeling the chaotic, why not.

      On the small chance you're just new to English or otherwise just don't actually know. While it usually relates to wind, "blow" is also another word for a hard strike or a hit. For example "The monster was killed by a blow to the head."

Don't have to keep going with something that ended up doing the opposite of being entertaining. Marisha has a nasty vibe at times of putting sticks in her own wheels in life... mild but it is there. Makes her come off as a bit of a cunt ... there is a kind of aloofness/lack of self awareness and a lack of care/compassion partly caused by her not being 'there' to see what she is doing ... most of her actions are on autopilot ..

    Gotta love how Nila is all “Oh, dear…” when Nott is gonna fire her bonus arrow, and Caleb just facepalming as he thinks “Oh God, not again…” since he’s used to Nott’s shenanigans out of this group of the Mighty Nein.

      Honestly there are so many great moments, but few of them are easy to animate! I was quite a conundrum with this one... Because at first Matt describes how the arrow hits Beau, then Marisha says she's going to try and catch it, then there are the other bolt... i had a lot of editing to make!
