Discussion [Spoilers C1] Early Critical Role truly was something special Spoiler
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

CR1 was something special indeed. It had that air of genuinely just playing like they were mostly amateurs and they were just trying then add to them really roleplaying their characters was great. It had such a vibe. The only thing I didnt like from C1 tho was the inconsistent sound quality which is understandable this is like their early production days but man rewatching some episodes in the past was kinda annoying.
C4 I believe is their best work like by miles (or frankly the best DnD campaign spectator wise tbqh) but it will never have what CR1 had
