Critical Role Critter Survey!
/If you weren't able to watch Talks Machina last night or somehow missed the announcement on Geek & Sundry, Geek & Sundry and Critical Role have released a new survey regarding the state of the Critters, and we're very pleased to announce that we also had a hand in putting it together. If you have 5-10 minutes, please take some time to tell us about yourself, and pass the word around to fellow critters. This is YOUR opportunity to get events closer to you, the merchandise you want in the stores, and... well, generally, getting more cool stuff on the Internet.

What We Know About Hotis and the Nine Hells: A Summary
/Vox Machina is determined to put an end to Hotis once and for all. To do that, they’ll need to make the dangerous trek through the Nine Hells. Did you start watching Critical Role at the Feywild arc and have no idea what’s going on? Forgotten the details of the Trial of the Take episodes? Curious about the Hells? We’ve got you covered. First, we have a link to our quote compendium about the Hells and Hotis. Second, below the cut we have a summary of the relevant information- spoilers abound! We’re going to largely steer clear of any speculation beyond the information that was laid out on Critical Role. Remember: the Nine Hells on Critical Role may have similarities and differences from the Nine Hells described in the DMG.

Brian: Should we have-- oh, I hate to do this to them, should we have CritRoleStats keep track of how many times Gil f***s someone or not?
Travis: Sure, yeah!
Matt: This is true; they don’t have enough to keep track of! Just throw more on the pile! I’m so sorry guys, I’m so sorry.
Brian: Andrew just threw a beer at the screen.
Gil: They’re five people, right?

Can you tell Matt and the cast that the numbers they said are wrong, so they can fix them?
We could, but we also prefer to lead by example and observe & record without interference. While they can throw our numbers off from time to time and have a drastic impact on the story, mistakes are part of the game, and the story goes the direction it goes. If the players want to contest or fix those, we’ll leave it up to them to do so. It’s their game and their story.
Well, can you at least publicly confirm said mistakes with us, so we can tell them to fix them?
See above about leading by example. We’re not going to publicize their mistakes. Think about how it would make you feel to have a stranger reprimand you for not using a particular character ability after your D&D game. Even if they meant it to be helpful, it comes across as invasive and nitpicky. When in doubt, err on the side of empathy and kindness!
