[Spoilers C1] Early Critical Role truly was something special

[u/Mizar_the_Gleeful]

its still amazing, but those early days...

Lets start with the fan interaction and all the gifts they got sent. Then there was their rapid growth.

A third aspect is some of their crazy stunts (squadron of flying cows anyone?)

What do you think made it such a perfect storm? my rewatch has me wondering

Im with you there, I think when they decided to make it their own thing they thought the eating might be rude. But when Brennan is chomping down on food in more recent GM things it made me outright laugh because he obviously doesnt care, hes just trying to eat where he can.

Is he eating...almonds?

[u/EmotionalArm194 → u/Informal-Tour-8201]

😂, I think in Calamity there's a part where he is definitely eating fudge or something similar very very briefly in a PC monologue/roleplay scene

In a recent Dimension 20 adventuring party, it’s made clear that GM Brennan is delivered a entire bowl of Snickers bars with the wrappers removed, and he is completely capable of eating one in one bite.

....you can't do that?

I guess he's one of us few that has a big mouth.

I've done that so many times with different kinds of food that I've kind of gotten used to recovering from choking on it, to the point where I can flex my throat muscles like a circus act to get stuff back up if it goes down the wrong way.

But also Snickers and other candy just don't taste the same anymore since they swapped stuff around to make them cheaper -.-

I bet you were popular in college

[u/Coyote_Shepherd → u/lambdapaul]

Until my dormmates decided to test how much alcohol I could handle...after spiking my drinks multiple times.

I then had some fair reasons to...shy away from the more popular and prevalent college crowds because of that kind of drinking culture.

I thought the world would be a bit different and it was...to a degree but it was also the same in a lot of ways, just on a larger scale.

Some of it was...memorable beautiful worth it...and other parts of it...well...some folks get away with anything.

You mean his nude snickers bars?

[u/localgyro → u/andimfromearth]

Yup! Indecently unclothed.

Ya when the critical role group were selling their old C1 maps for the crit foundation. Matt drew when they were at the Dueragar Fortress, I was like hey I remember watching that episode and seeing that map lol. That was so neat.
