been meaning to watch these for a while but never got around to it until now. I've heard great things about the show, and the thumbnails and passwords tell me this shit's gonna get wild. And right off the bat, I think Keyleth is my favourite simply based on her design and how cute it is that she's a lightweight. Pike and Vex are both great too. Also omg Laura Bailey voices Vex and that's awesome lol.

I'm looking forward to this! Yes, this episode is probably the most NSFW in the series. I don't think we've seen any more naughty bits since.
The art is amazing, the humor is raunchy, the action is killer, and the drama really reaches deep. And there's a little bit of gae in it. You're gonna have a blast.

Vox Machina is such a fun ride. I just watched the entire series myself last month and it was great, but def an adult show 😅 the second season is much more toned down in terms of adult content, but there are still some scenes that likely aren’t meant for YT.
Still, it’s a super cool show. Critical Role did this entire campaign I believe 10 ish years ago, so seeing it on the big screen is such a cool treat! Just a bunch of voice actors being nerds and they all bring their characters to life very well! What’s cool is that you timed this very well. It’s going to get its third season on Oct. 3, so you’ll likely either just be wrapping up s2 or be completely caught up! Either way, it’ll be cool to watch you react to this series here on Patreon 😊

Uh, yeah, about that I don’t remember sending that to you…
You see the morning that I found out was a few days before you got it. The night before I found out I had been binge watching online so I felt very sleepy. I didn’t wake up until the next afternoon, when I found a throbbing pain in my trigger finger, where the tip was removed and written in blood on my chest was “SUCKER!!!”, and on the wall was, “CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARDS MEAT COMPUTER!”, which was when I found out someone purchased the book and sent it to your address. Wonder how that happened…
In any case, I hope you enjoy the book!
PS You got it as a gift right? Did you get any gift messages?

"It's very Harley Quinn!" that's the understatement of the year, but yes. It has all the maturity of putting googly eyes on a vibrator. And goes from dick jokes to dark moments on the roll of a die.

Putting this on youtube shouldn't be too much of a problem. They frontload a lot of it so that you know what you're getting into, but for the most part the raunchiness tones down as the series goes on

The show really frontloads a lot of stuff so people know this is NOT FOR KIDS. It does cut back in frequency with time though, a lot of the crude parts are smoothed down a bit after the first two episodes.
David Bodor
2024-08-05 22:37:03 +0000 UTC
ITS TIME WOOO! Although this show has hits of the D&D aspect when it comes to rolls and such its mainly about the story they went threw during the first campaign. I know a lot of people like to guess how they roll and think that's how things went but most of the time its them just making a flow with the show so people who dont know D&D can watch it more easily. Either way very excited for you to watch this, and with there new season coming out in the fall and there other story coming soon as well you are just starting it in time.

This show isn't just "like" a DnD campaign. It IS a DnD campaign. They turned their actual campaign into a show. You can watch the campaign on their podcast. The actors who played in the campaign are voicing their same characters in this show.

This show is remarkable. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will reward you for sticking with it. The animation is stunning (which also keeps improving as the show progresses). I don’t know how you will feel, but as a performer myself I’m very drawn to a show where the main voice actors are in complete artistic control, rather than just a singular show runner. You can feel the love and commitment the main cast has because they created (and therefore deeply understand) these characters. You will also love the Mighty Nein when it releases. Regardless of whether this makes it to YT or stays a Patreon exclusive, I’m very glad you are reacting to it.

I love that the most well written* lines of dialogue in this whole show are actually what the actors improved at the table. If you hear a hard-hitting line, chances are it was said on stream, and 50/50 it was Talisan (who plays percy)
MehrGills
2024-08-05 17:38:43 +0000 UTC
As far as adult content goes this show puts a lot of it in episode 1 so that new audience knows what they're getting into. In both seasons there are maybe 3 sex scenes total that match the nature of this episode including this episode. A lot of innuendos and gore though and just flat out talk about sex and stuff. Totally up to you just letting you know the first 2 episodes certainly have a different vibe. Partly due to how the Kickstarter was formated

Yeah everyone else who's reacted to it has posted edited versions on YouTube, so it's not something to give up on at all.
SauceyRed
2024-08-05 17:16:15 +0000 UTC
She's basing it off of the statistics YouTube Studio gives her. According to her, the stats say that Hilda ends up at the bottom compared to other videos.
SauceyRed
2024-08-05 17:15:18 +0000 UTC
I’m really curious to see which show will fare better on YouTube, Vox Machina or RWBY. The former probably has a larger audience but there were a slew of reactions when it came out, so it might not bring many new viewers to the channel. RWBY reactions on the other hand are considerably rarer and the fact that the episodes are very short could help get it more views.
Bernhard
2024-08-05 17:14:04 +0000 UTC
have to agree, began as a dirty silly action cartoon, but ended up as a dark tone, and i love Keyleth or Keekee as they sometimes call her :3
tom david johansen
2024-08-05 17:09:28 +0000 UTC
Yeah, its also not 1 to 1 with the original campaign, given they're missing a character that was part of VM for the first 37 episodes.
BrightHeart
2024-08-05 17:07:34 +0000 UTC
Can't wait to get off work and watch this! I just know that Scanlan will be your favorite character, hands down, you will throw hands if anyone disparages him.
Ryan Porter
2024-08-05 17:00:30 +0000 UTC
Hell yeah! I gotta say, though it is the most mature, I wouldn't give up on YouTube yet. Mosco's posted reactions of the whole series, and you do react to shows like Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, so not totally outside your wheelhouse. Will all depend on what show performs the best on your channel, but I'm ready to root for Vox Machina!

So I am super excited for this but I also don't understand why she is saying Hilda isn't doing well. The first episode got 30k views, the second and 3rd around 20k which is on par with Dragon Prince, Duck Tales, and better than Kipo and she's still going with all of them?

FINALLY!!! And I called it, Scanlan sells this series to everyone on ep 1
DarkGodHao
2024-08-05 16:43:45 +0000 UTC
Some Notes:
-Critical Role started as a One Shot for Liam O'Brien (Vax)'s Birthday as most of them had never played D&D before.
-Liam O'Brien and Laura Bailey (Vex) play twins as they share the same Birthday though they are 5 years apart in age.
-The original name for the team was the SHIT (Super Heroes In Training) but it was changed just before they started streaming.
-The name Vox Machina is Latin for "Voice Machine" which is a reference to the fact that the main cast are all Voice Actors.
-This show was Kickstarted, originally asking for $750K to do an Animated Movie they raised $11 MILLION and thus it became a series.
FullmetalNinja25
2024-08-05 16:37:57 +0000 UTC
One thing you need to get used to about this show is that dialogue that people come up with on the fly during a D&D campaign doesn't always translate well to a straight written story, and it took them a while to figure out the right times to not just put those lines straight into the show, which Scanlan especially suffers from as Sam Riegel would naturally often just fall back on sex jokes, which can make him come off as very one note. Luckily, by Season 2 they'd ironed this all out and everything's a lot more natural.

Throughout the season you can spot a few characters that Matt Mercer voices. In this episode, Matt voices the character Scanlan pisses on.

Yes, a lot of the moments in the show will have moments that are like "oh yeah, he got a bad roll here" or "wow that must've been an insanely good roll!"
While most of the show has been condensed to be able to fit the thousands of hours of livestreams, some scenes are taken straight from the source.
The show follows the first livestreamed campaign, Campaign 1, although the livestreams started when they had already been playing for a few months or so. It started as a birthday gift to Liam O'Brien (the voice of Vax'ildan), iirc.
There is another show that was greenlit soon after Vox Machina, "The Mighty Nein", which will follow their second livestreamed campaign, Campaign 2, and takes place in the same world.
Important to note is that, since it's a D&D campaign, none of the characters have true plot armor. While Matt probably did his best to keep them alive, D&D characters can die at any time if they're not careful, and sometimes things just happen. Just something to keep in mind.
Also yes, General Krieg is voiced by David Tennant.
The main characters are:
Vax'ildan - Half-elf, rogue
Vex'ahlia - Half-elf, ranger
Percy - Human, gunslinger
Keyleth - Air ashari, druid
Grog - Half-giant (actually goliath in D&D but renamed due to trademark), barbarian
Pike - Gnome, cleric
Scanlan - Gnome, bard
Fun fact: Vox Machina translates to "voice machine", and the players called the group that because they're all voice actors!
Vex'ahlia's ability to detect the presence of dragon stuff is a ranger thing, so no, Vax doesn't have that since he's a rogue.
