I'm only two hours into the livestream and am saving most of the Darrington Brigade one-shot for the weekend, but seeing the OG8 play Quiplash together and seeing them at the table together has made me so, so happy.

I've missed it being just these eight nerdy ass voice actors hanging out and making me laugh.

Hey everyone, I got two questions related to my prompt. For context, I’ve only watched LoVM and MN on Amazon prime. I thought both shows were awesome and I just love characters and stories in both settings, and it also helps that the people behind the voices seem pretty cool.

My First question is, where do I start ideally? I know the current campaign season is ongoing has a new DM (I’m pretty familiar with Brennan Lee Mulligan from CollegeHumor/Dropout), but it also takes place in an entire new world. Would you recommend me to watch one of the previous campaigns to experience CR at their best, or would be good to start with Campaign 4 and try to catch up with what everyone else is engaging with?

My second question is, how would you recommend me to watch a session? Is this something I should ideally sit down, grab some snacks, treat it like a show or movie and watch it in one setting, or something I can listen somewhat in the background while multitasking or doing chores?

I know these questions may be seem dumb but there’s mountains full of content but i would really appreciate a bit of input and advice on a good starting point.

I’ve enjoyed C4 immensely so far, but I gotta say one of the recurring things I’ve been enjoying the most is Brennan’s handling of Augury. It gives so much unique flavor to Murray, who is silly and saucy but also is directly tuning into the frequencies of fate

It’s a spell that I’ve admittedly overlooked in my games and written off as lame or unhelpful, cuz on paper it’s so… *blah*. The DM tells you whether your plan is good or not, but often it’s kinda just up to the dice whether the party’s Rube Goldberg machine of a plan goes favorably or not. But Marisha’s depictions of how she casts it have been cool, and the little visions Brennan comes up with are really impactful too. Great storytelling as always

I am currently working on an Azune fanart. I found myself lost on how to draw his shield. Do we have any idea what it looks like? By the way, by shield, I mean his physical shield. Not the Shield spell. As we know that looks like >! “ a figure stepping in front of Azune and protecting him by wrapping its arms around him” !<

But physical shield, Its shape/size/color etc. I want to make sure it looks as accurate as possible but I can’t seem to find any reference on it…
