The thought of the big show saying “save me a spot I’m bringing my dice” makes me feel so happy.

Running a campaign with 10-plus regulars AND several folks who show up whenever possible? That takes serious organizational and creative skills, even with talented, involved players who love roleplaying and worldbuilding as much as they do crushing their foes. Absolute respect for running this game.

Vince Vaughn hanging out with Tom Morello, the GoT guys, Big Show, and James Gunn playing D&D is just unbelievable

[NJCUJan]

I love how Sofia Vergara talks about this in some interviews and saying how she goes there to leave refreshments. And then leaves them alone.

[Sbeth]

Vince Vaughn has played the kinds of characters that would make fun of nerds mercilessly. It's so funny (and great) to see him indulging his inner nerd.

[greenmarcosu]

This is wholesome. Every person needs a group of friends to do something fun and social on a regular basis.

[Razzrazz]

There’s just something poetic about the Big Show choosing to play as a Half-Giant

[nategage]

"Who's your friend?"
"Oh, THAT guy, yeah he can play."
hasn't changed since 3rd grade.

I started playing in 1976 but, stopped 5 years later when D&D was considered a "geek game". I was forced underground and spent decades just creating characters that would never be played. I have to thank Joe and Critical Role for bringing the cool back to D&D. I now DM for my son's friends who have fallen in love with the game the same way I did at 10 years old. Luckily, the characters I made did not go to waste. I have over 100 NPCs for my world. Thank you to all of you who kept the game alive!!

I used to be in theatre growing up and always thought it was strange how none of the other actors ever seemed open to RPGs. I was always like, "it's literally what we're doing now except with more agency...and dice."

What I'd give to live a wealthy nerd life

[splinte]

it honestly doesn't surprise me. DnD is basically everything an actor loves to do, acting. But instead of some writer having written your character and lines you get to create yourself from scratch.

[fisdara]

I'll bet it was super awkward at that table for a couple weeks after the GoT finale came out.

[mikelliteras]

People don’t understand how intense this can be and how much fun it is to use your imagination. Artists like all of these guys need a serious imagination to do what they do for work. This must be a bad ass game to be in.

[HonorableCnut]

Hearing the big show talk about spell slots is something I needed today. Smile from ear to ear

[Phi]

Sofia Vergara says she makes snacks and coffee for Joe's games.

[TroyDan]

Joe absolutely needs his own D an D tv series where it's just him an his mates playing.

[nora]

This is really beautiful. The concept of a bunch of guys can taking time out of their week after being surrounded by a lot of insincerity to be surrounded by earnest, geeky dudes having a great time is really beautiful.

[helsinki]

The GoT guys are part of this? This DnD game is going to end badly.

[believeinmatter]

So awesome to see this. Its no longer “nerd culture” its just fun. People are being less self conscious and just doing what they enjoy.
