Minoring in Pangolin with Brennan Lee Mulligan

Comedian and legendary game master Brennan Lee Mulligan joins to share the downsides of being raised by artists, learning curse words from Dave Chappelle, getting your teeth pulled by a sketchy dentist, the charms of Jeff Goldblum, and why billionaires have gotta stop.

Jeff Goldblum has his own version of Chuck Norris Jokes where they're all non-violent or vaguely sexual. For example:
Dolphins travel to swim with Jeff Goldblum

Cheers to Puddleglum for inspiring the secular philosophies of a young BLeeM.

How DnD Became a Career: Brennan Lee Mulligan’s College Journey

Before Brennan joined the CollegeHumor cast and became a famous comedian/writer/game master, he was (in no particular order): a 14 year old philosophy major, a Law & Order PA, a LARP camper, a “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” contestant, a bartender missing a front tooth, and more!

We’re on a mission to learn how people have learned! To do that we’re interviewing people from various fields and asking them about their lives, careers, and college journeys. The "College Journeys" series aims to inspire viewers by showcasing the varied paths to success and highlighting the importance of learning, both in school and through life.

ExU: Divergence | Part 1

"Give and Take"

"Hope...
is a dangerous thing. Cruel and painful."
You behold, on obsidian walls, overlooking the fortress prison of Rybad-Kol, your leader Asmog (a vampiric hobgoblin dressed in black armor) who holds a writhing hobgoblin elder by the throat, lifting him up off the ground.
The Sundering Lord, ruler of the Steel Keep, this is the commander of the garrison of the prison which all of you will from this day to your last.
"Hope. That which corrodes the soul and weakens the spirit. That sharpest and most painful barb. It can drive you to madness if you let it. No, for you my pets, I do not wish this."
Under his hand you see the grip tighten and the writhing elder that is held aloft (silver streaks in his hair he wears the clothes of a prisoner). As Asmog raises him ever higher, the Sundering Lord looks at all of you.
"If pain is what you feel, then it is the comfort of dispair you musk seek. Surrendering hope is the only balm you will ever know. Some will tell you otherwise! They are fools."
Assembled beneath him (filling the square of the central plaza of Rybad-Kol under a red ash-choked sky) you see a thousand prisoners on their knees, shackled. Surrounding them, armored Fire Giants. Row upon row of human, half-orc, hobgoblin...You see there are numerous demons populating the walls. Chattering in glee and laughter as they look down at this public display of power.
"For those who require assistance ridding themselves of that most painful substance, allow me to inform you, despite the ministrations of the REBELLIOUS in nature. When next the Red Moon touches the western sky, we will march to glory and the final defeat of the PRIME DEITIES! FOR THE STRIFE EMPEROR!"
The armies assembled chant in unison. Massive drums, each forty feet tall with hobgoblin drummers standing besid them, massive batons in their hands. You look out.
"Word has just reached the Steel Keep. The Allhammer is dead! The Platinum Dragon, devoured! And, of course, the Moonweaver has just met her final end. But what of your divinity?"
He turns to face the hobgoblin still choking under his supernaturally strong grip.
"The Changebringer. That mistress of good fortune. Do you see good fortune before you here?"
He drops the hobgoblin to the wall. The hobgoblin elder, a secret worshipper of the Changebringer, raises his head.
"She has not seen to save you here. Speak. Do you repent knowing that your ultimate defeat is soon at hand?"
You see the hobgoblin look and whisper,
"I do not. I do not."
"No?"
You see Asmog lifts a hand. Out under the open sun (because even as a vampire, the sun has not shown here in a hundred years, perhaps he has no need of threats). He raises his fingers to snap them and below you see there is a small family of hobgoblin prisoners looking up. And you see that behind them a group of soldiers draws their weapon to level them at their face. The elder (a thin leather cord that has had his holy symbol ripped off of it) looks down.
"I repent. I repent. Please don't hurt them."
"What was that? Speak louder so that the other prisoners might hear."
"I repent! Change is not coming. The Changebringer cannot save us. Listen to what they say, I am sorry. I repent. I have wasted my life in worship to her. I do not believe!"
"Persuasive words. I'm glad that you at last have seen the truth before the lie of Hope could destroy you. The Strife Emperor still does demand punishment, though."
Asmog reaches a clawed hand into the stomach of the hobgoblin elder (up through the chest, through the neck) grabs the mouth and skull of this elder from within and wrenches the head into the chest cavity of the body. Arm covered in viscera as he sloughs him off and he falls a hundred and fifty feet to splatter on the court before you.
Asmog smiles, licks the blood off his fingers, turns to a lieutenant (a massive human enforcer in thick cast-iron armor) who nods. He turns back and goes,
"Well, what are you waiting for?! Back to work you slags!"
The drums beat and prisoners are yanked via chains.
Back to work.
This is Calamity. And the terrible work of the Betrayers.
Matt, I would like you describe your character for us and what he is currently busy doing with the knowledge that your hand is bleeding under the effort that you now expend.

Tonight Matt and Liam will be playing with:

Orym's Song on the video page is the newest of a series of songs announced for future release.

Lilli is a musician in a band called Ginger and Pear, but has also been writing songs for the characters in Critical Role for over the past four years. Her style can be described as contemporary folk, though Yasha's song "Bare Bones" has a fan-made orchestrated version that has an ominous mood in a cool way.

The lyrics clearly make an effort to highlight the vulnerabilities of the characters and get us to recognize them in ourselves and eachother and I find it very creative. I hope you find something that you enjoy as I have.

Episode 121: A New Age Begins

Last we left off, through the chaos of Bell's Hells, Vox Machina, Mighty Nein, and many other heroes that rose up to try and halt the unbridled emergence of the 'God Eater' Bell's Hells finally delivered to the core of the moon Ruidus where they battled with Predathos itself. Which now, upon its defeat remains dormant temporarily within its vessel, Imogen Temult. After passing beyond the boundaries that kept it locked away for an untold amount of history you begin to step to your trek back towards Exandria.
Tense interactions with some of the 'holy armies' perched upon the moon to stop what you are doing at all costs, without understanding the intent behind it. You are eventually given passage to Vasselheim itself, in the moments of a dimmed sky, which we will return to momentarily.
For back within the core of Ruidus (amongst the scattered subterranean tunnels) a wayward troupe of adventurers, responsible for defeating the Weavemind (and dealing with those who remained to surrender within and around the Arx Creonum), the Mighty Nein (shoulder to shoulder with battered but still-surviving Gaz Tomo and other members of the Volition) suddenly receive a message to Mr Caleb Widogast here. Bell's Hells asking for their aid. Some way to free themselves from Ruidus. To get out from where they were. Though not enough to actually find or gather where they might currently reside. As such, hours have passed since the search.
And there we find them, scattered amongst the dark underground. The smell of fungus and a distant side-echo to each word spoken in a relatively silent world.

• CritRole Recap
• Episode Discussion
• YouTube VoD

With the epic conclusion of Campaign 3 coming to a close on Thursday, February 6th at 7pm Pacific, our newest Exandria Unlimited series Divergence just around the corner on Thursday, February 13th at 7pm Pacific, and 10 YEARS of storytelling in the world of Exandria, we know there are many hours of content and lore that folks may have missed out on.

So to help everyone stay up to date, we made this handy guide that will show you where to find Critical Role resources from Critical Recaps to character descriptions and more!

What Should You Know Before the Campaign 3 Finale?

Campaign 3 encompasses 10 YEARS of storytelling wrapped into one campaign and it follows the lives of the chaotic adventuring party, Bells Hells.

In a world with endless free time (what a dream), one would ideally watch the following before diving into the Campaign 3 Finale:

• Campaign 3 Playlist
• Campaign 2 Playlist
• Campaign 1 Playlist
• EXU Playlist

But with so many new Critters joining us for Campaign 3, we created some resources to make catching up as easy as possible! Here is a list of all the unique ways you can get up to speed on Critical Role content!

Critical Role Abridged

All the twists and turns of an episode of Critical Role in half the time! In Critical Role Abridged, the rich tapestry of a Critical Role campaign is lovingly distilled to its most pivotal, hilarious, and poignant moments in about 60-90 minutes per episode. Our Lorekeepers have ensured you’ll catch all the crucial plot points, characters, and worldbuilding you’ll need to get started with Critical Role, catch up to the current episodes, or revisit old friends. Plus, each episode is enhanced with new pieces of artwork, bringing key characters, items, and moments to greater visual detail.

Critical Role Abridged begins with Critical Role’s third campaign, Bells Hells, with new episodes airing every Tuesday at 10am Pacific on Beacon and YouTube.

• Overall Character Descriptions

Check out the official Character Descriptions for the characters in Vox Machina, The Mighty Nein, and Bells Hells.

Also from Exandria Unlimited and Exandria Unlimited: Kymal

Characters Fearne Calloway, Orym of the Air Ashari and Dorian Storm were actually a part of another adventuring party prior to the events of Campaign 3 known as “The Crownkeepers!” These two Exandria Unlimited mini series explore the adventures of this group and are both game mastered by the legendary Aabria Iyengar!

What Should You Know Before Exandria Unlimited: Divergence?

Taking place after the events of Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, Exandria Unlimited: Divergence is a four episode mini series that follows everyday folks picking up the pieces of their world in the wake of a cataclysmic war between the Gods. As the dust settles, the mortals of Exandria discover how their world has been changed forever.

The incredibly talented Brennan Lee Mulligan will be returning as our game master for the series alongside players Matthew Mercer, Liam O’Brien, Jasmine Don, Alex Ward, and Celia Rose Gooding!

Since Divergence takes place LONG before the events of our main campaigns, preparing for the series is even easier!

Exandria Unlimited: Calamity

Exandria Unlimited: Calamity is a four-part mini-series set a thousand years before the adventures of Vox Machina, The Mighty Nein, and Bells Hells. It follows six distinguished heroes from the Age of Arcanum as they uncover an insidious corruption beneath a city that they’ve sworn to protect. This is a story where Exandria’s greatest minds could not—or would not—see the truth before it was too late. These mighty protectors will do everything in their power in an attempt to prevent the inevitable… The Calamity.

Chronological Order

The list above is just a summarization of our main campaigns, mini-series, and resources associated with Exandria Unlimited and Critical Role. But rest assured, there are PLENTY more stories from Exandria to explore with comics, one-shots, novels, and more!

So, to keep track, the incomparable Dani Carr created an official History of Exandria timeline for reference!
We hope this guide gives you everything you need to get ready and get HYPED for our Campaign 3 Finale and Exandria Unlimited: Divergence series!

State of the Role VoD

Greetings, Critters!

First things first, thank you so much for your patience while we’ve been slowly but surely bouncing back into our new normal after recent wildfires hit close to home.

Over the past several months, our creative team has been working tirelessly to map out all of the wonderful content that we will have in store for you after C3 concludes.

Upcoming Schedule

Freaky Thursday Bells Hells Charity One-Shot

• January 30th at 7pm Pacific

Featuring our beloved Campaign 3 characters, here’s what our dope ass Game Master, Matthew Mercer, has planned for you:

Two Elemental Royals have made a wager: Are modern mortal “heroes” as resilient and courageous as those of legend? Hearing of the recent, wild exploits of Bells Hells, these two entities pluck the troupe from Exandria and force a series of challenges to test their skills, wit, and ability… all while the Elementals subtly manipulate the odds between Order and Chaos to serve their bet. Weird magics weave throughout the realm, as onlookers from across the realms alter the dangers mid-contest, rending the battlefield or even swapping souls between the players! Can Bells Hells survive this series of clashes, and does either Order or Chaos truly carve the path of a hero?

For our non-canon one-shot, there are two different ways that your donations can shape our game and even more ways that you can help us raise money for an important cause that’s close to home for us.
