Ironic what the name of this channel is called because this one shot definitely could've used sam . :) . What am I saying, Sam makes everything better!!!
Edit: I'll probably delete this soon because it's unrelated to the video and I'm not satisfied with how my comment turned out. Anyway, here's a criticism of Aabria for some reason: Not gonna lie, everyone of the cast would be an equal or better DM than Aabria (I think that's her name, I'm talking about the ExU DM) in my opinion. Ashley might be a lot meeker and a bit slower in the role play, but she'd be more flexible and laid back. Travis would be pure fun. Talesin would be a pyramid. Laura would be a slightly worse Matt. Marisha would be fun and unique. Sam would be goofy and chaotic. Liam would be a slower but good version of Matt, and probably the best out of the bunch. Aabria, on the other hand, consistently has passive aggressive characters with constant run-on and run-off sentences, is inflexible, is not good at leading the the party anywhere without railroading, is not good at organizing and finishing stories and plot hooks, and overall is a mediocre home game level DM and not even close to a Top Of Twitch level DM. Also she's weirdly mean to players? 🤷 I just wanted to gush about how talented the cast is while letting out my feelings and somewhat dunking on Andrea. Good video!
Her name was Aabria and I love her style of DMing. She was dynamic and gave inspiration freely when the cast made her laugh, and the times she played for the camera, just for the fans, was great. Sorry bud, but I'm gonna have to disagree with you. Ashley is great, but so was Aabria.
@@K_i_t_t_y84 I recommend this video though: th-cam.com/video/kWagNfeUD2Y/w-d-xo.html It convinced me that she wasn't a good very good DM for such a high caliber show, although I don't think she's necessarily a _bad_ DM out of ExU. It also explains why I couldn't even force myself to watch past the second episode, as it's just not a good series in any mark (besides Matt's character, he's amazing lol). I hope season 2 is better though, I'd love to have more good Critical Role content to watch. Let me be clear, I'm not saying she's bad as a DM - or "GM" as she wants to be called - but she sucked during ExU. It also seems like the unfinished plotlines around Ashley's and Liam's characters won't ever be explored or finished since they're in campaign 3 now, unless Matt takes those up on his own (if that's even possible, I'm just going off of what I've heard about them so I don't know how feasible that would be).
@@K_i_t_t_y84 one more thing. Aabria did something that I loath in D&D: she controlled PC's emotions, actions, and thoughts on multiple occasions without any sort of permission from the players. Anyway, I found her fun GMing the Harry Potter series in Dimension20, and almost considered buying a subscription to finish the series. She just sucked in ExU, that's all.
It was such a good one shot, Ashley did great :)
My favorite one shot!
all the Critical one shots are awesome ! Pure Gold I tell ya !!
He's got the toots and he got a new stogie. For the love of God Sargent, don't light a match. *BOOM*
TPK.
I hadn't seen this one shot. Now I'm off to do just that.
I definitely recommend watching it, Ashley did an amazing job DMing!!
RIP your emotions at the end
+ Have fun!
We don’t deserve Travis. He’s the best 😂
These are exactly the kinds of details I would want from my DM. 💨

@@K_i_t_t_y84 sorry about the misspelling, I meant to double check but something came up before I could and I forgot to do it after. Fixed it though.

Personally, I thought she did great. Would like to see more of her and Robbie in general with the cast.
