"No one ever made fun of me for playing D&D without getting punched."

My dude, if your Cleric has survived 30 years your DM is a saint.

[CollinDEvans]

Powerful quote at 26 minutes by Matthew Mercer:
"Everybody is hurting, everybody wants to be happy, everybody is looking for someplace to belong, and looking for other people to tell them that they're loved."

[chickapaow]

i love how Matt mercer doesnt take credit for the guy's story. he thanked Matt for saving his life and yet Matt just says it was the power of story telling. what a humble guy...

[AtomicG]

"I'm gonna hide behind a tree and cast fireball."

Oh you'll fit in just fine.

[AzureIV]

3:02 "I hide behind the tree and I ready a fireball."
3:55 "I just quickly jump on the one he gave mercy and stab him in the eye."
You are already a veteran player.

"The parents saw their child summon a dungeons and dragons demon into his room before he committed suicide."

Wait... who exactly is living in a fantasy world here?

[rontalkstabletop]

"Guardians of the Galaxy are a D&D party." Exactly. The best D&D movies we've gotten.

[saint]

I don't think i've ever seen Mercer cry without also crying myself...

[masonshucart]

I was blown away by the interviewer. She jumped right in and accepted all of these things (sometimes that much stuff all at once can be sensory overload). She didn't seem judgmental at all. It was so great.

My wife passed away three months ago. If not for spending time with friends and playing D&D, I don't know if I could manage.

1980s: "D&D causes violence!!!"
2019: "Video Games cause violence"
wow stupidity reigns for almost 40 years now now

[Waterflame]

I'm not crying. You're just blurry.

Critical Role helped me during chemo, I watched the entire first campaign through my last year of chemo and even inspired me to start my own group. I still can't go out much but being able to play D&D with a bunch of my friends every weekend is amazing.

[Shelter]

Just sat my almost 13 year old daughter down to watch this and she FINALLY wants to play.
So I handed her her dice and the starter set rule book.

[coolguy]

the interviewer looks so genuinely interested in what these people are saying and it’s so nice. I love the dnd community.

[Gunnerblaster]

As a DM, I've never, once, thought to myself, "This person shouldn't play."

I've always tried to bring people into the fold. My current group, that I DM for, consists of an asexual woman, a transitioning individual, a devout Christian, and a young gentleman whose on the spectrum. It's a constant source of joy, for me, and for them and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

My favorite quote about the game is from the campaign one wrap-up from critical role when Marisha states "these memories almost feel real" and Matt simply answers "They are". That for me sums up, what makes this game so special
