MATT: It’s good to have you back. For those who
missed the announcement on Talks Machina, she’ll
be joining us for the next episode as well, and
for our GenCon live show.
SAM: And maybe more?
MATT: We’ll see where it goes. I don’t want to
take up too much of her time, but we’ll see where
it goes. We will at some point this evening have
another guest joining us, which we’ll introduce as
she comes in. We have already announced her, so it
doesn’t matter, why am I holding it back? Sumalee
Montano will be joining us, but she’ll be coming
in as the narrative requires. In the meantime,
let’s get through some announcements. First and
foremost, we have our fantastic sponsor for the
campaign, our friends at D&D Beyond.
SAM: D&D Beyond, everybody! As mentioned last
week, the newly revamped digital character sheet
for D&D Beyond has released. With improved desktop
and tablet views, better at-a-glance information,
all kinds of customization, and an updated PDF
export.
MATT: I’m really excited about that.
SAM: As you guys all remember–not you; a couple
months back, I asked you Critters out there who
use D&D Beyond to write in and tell me about their
D&D Beyond experiences. With the studio move and
stuff, things got lost. Some of the letters got
lost a little bit, or misplaced, but we found
them. I’m going to read you some of the letters
from the fans. They’re from a couple weeks ago.
“Dear Sam, loving D&D Beyond. Just used their easy
character creator to roll a brand-new character
“after my favorite PC was tragically killed last
week. I’m still really sad about it, but watching
“your show is taking my mind off the loss. I love
how Critical Role doesn’t remind me about that
"death all the time.” Again, these are from a few
weeks ago, so I haven’t–
MATT: You’re such an asshole.
SAM: “Dear Sam, my whole campaign uses D&D Beyond,
and their new shareable links really help us play
"faster. Side note: I love your interactions with
Taliesin in this campaign! Don’t change that
"dynamic, it’s perfect and I can’t get enough of
it. Thank you.”
MATT: Goddamn it, Sam. You’re the worst.
SAM: “Dear Sam–” These are from a couple weeks
ago, that is the premise.
MATT: These are the truth!
SAM: “Dear Sam, just signed up for a Master-level
subscription at D&D Beyond, and all their content
"is so cool! I’m enclosing a photo of a tattoo I
just got; it’s my first and I’m very proud, as you
"can see. That’s Nott and Mollymauk dancing
together. I know it’s in cursive, so you might not
"be able to read that they’re both saying, ‘We’re
going to live forever!’ What do you think?” There
was a picture included in that one.
ASHLY: For my first action I kill Sam.
SAM: Last but not least, we got an actual letter
from the D&D Beyond corporation, which also got
lost and found. It says, “Dear Sam: Hey, let’s
refrain from anything sad or emotional in your ads
