    Also of note, he made his own spinoff audio series based around tiberius and his adventures, in defiance of tiberius being canonically dead in CR. He made a kickstarter to turn it into an animated series but evidently just ran with the money and the series never materialized.

    He also ran a charity stream against someones will and pocketed all that money too.

    Dude is a selfish prick.

    1. They were having to actively watch his dice rolls all the time for a long time before Episode 27. They even make subtle jokes about it during the stream. There were times you can visibly see him just straight up re roll it. Matt even said in a comment once, before deleting it, that the “only dice fudging player is no longer part of the show.”

    2. He kept lying about how many spell slots he had available.

    3. “Misunderstood” a ring of Spell Storing so that he had four 4th level spells stored in it

    4. He would be a complete dick to fans on Twitter to the point that other CritRole people had to step in and tell him off. Went everywhere from “YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHTS TO DO THIS THING” to “YOU’RE NOT A REAL FAN”.

    5. Had an extreme case of Main Character Syndrome. During the last episode he even tried to solve Percy’s arc, throwing around his royal lineage, trying to make it about his telekensis putting a shot in that Laura rolled a 35 on, getting a pet because Laura had a pet,

    6. Shopped way too fucking much and planned ridiculous things that could never work, exhausting Mercer to no end and driving Travis absolutely insane.

    7. Made really offputting sexual comments for no reason like “As Vex is going over this plan, Tiberius is getting a chub but you can’t see it because it’s inside.” WHAT?! Granted that was from the last episode he was on but fucking hell.

    8. Would argue with Mercer about how things worked and then effectively challenge him. Mercer would then put him in his place and he’d get all whiny. He openly said at one point he believes DnD is a competition between the DM and the Player.

    9. He’d metagame to high heaven, one example being refusing to get involved in a Beholder fight because Orion, playing a sorcerer, knew about the Beholders anti-magic cone. When pressed on this in-game by the other PCs, he uses Silence to just completely shut them up so they can’t tell him off. Just really bitchily shuts them down. Or when he tried to get a long rest because he used up all his spell slots and knew a Rakshasha was hunting them. OR when he tried to summon a ton of water to stop a vampire fleeing despite his character never seeing a vampire nor knowing their weaknesses over flowing water.

    10. He got really frustrated that a chick he was trying to go after ended up going after another NPC, a woman no less. He ended up demonstrating more than a little latent homophobia from that.

    They’ve never really said why he left and most Critical Role communities will shut down any discussion of it. Not sure why. It’s a DnD game. We’ve all had to deal with bad players.






  • I love Tom Cardy with every ounce of my being. I assume that’s what that link is lmao. But I found this BG3 animation for the song and it instantly became my favorite. Evidently the insane looking one in this isn’t the Durge. It’s Tav. The other Dragonborn looking terrified is the Durge which leads to my favorite comment on that. “The Durge may kill people but he just witnessed the most horrifying thing in existence. A perfectly normal DnD player.”

    Enjoy.

    The Gag with “15 days” and the hands kills me every time.





  • Definitely not a module. I’ve got a little voice thingy to like… “sell” the world or whatever that is a bit vague. At the time I was still planning a lot of stuff but a buddy wanted me to run a one-shot for him on his birthday so he could play instead of DMing for his group. So I came in as a guest DM. I made this really quickly and slapped it together but the type of vibe that I go for. The voice was also a single recording, normally not so… stuffy and ridiculous sounding. The writing was also slapdash because I had like 5 hours notice for the whole game so don’t sue me too much lol

  • If you want to join in a game, I’m probably as safe as you’re gonna get. At least all things considered. I’ve got a reputation riding on it lol that and the fact that I am AGGRESSIVELY protective of my players because they’re also my friends. I don’t tolerate people being a dick but I’m not the dude to just attack someone. Chats are more productive. And I run session 0s, or just little hang out sessions, to see how everyone vibes.


  • I have no problem with new players provided you’re willing to learn, listen and be cooperative. It’s easy to fall into a bit of main character syndrome but as long as you’re willing to receive feedback then you are genuinely already going to be better than like… 60%, minimum, of other online players.

    I’ve been fleshing out a world, nations, factions, gods, and various potential plotlines for the past year or so. Should be done in the next 1-4 weeks, likely sooner than later. If you’re actually interested (or if anyone is), just shoot me a message. The only thing that I actively require from my players is a DnD Beyond account, a Discord account, a sense of humor, a spark of imagination and a goal to both play your story and uplift others in theirs. I cannot guarantee that you’ll be able to play just by messaging, i’m going to end up interviewing people to an extent and judging vibes. Want to make sure everyone is chill and ready to get along with one another. But by all means, my messages are open.

    Honestly they always are but no one ever messages me… Well outside of the occasional newbie who is trying to figure out Lemmy, sees my username a lot and goes “He probably knows how it works!” Which, fair. I do. Good person to ask lol
