If somehow you didn’t know, I absolutely love Critical Role (this will not be the last time I’ll be writing about them, probably.) I love staying up late on Thursday nights watching this amazingly talented crew tell stories through Dungeons and Dragons.

My passion for this show is far beyond my fascination with D&D. It’s rare that you’re able to see such creative souls have such room to weave a beautiful tale both individually and collectively. Yes, it’s great to see a group of friends who just so happen to voice a lot of things I love dearly, but that kind of collective trust among friends really allows for breathtaking stories.

These storytellers have really inspired me to aim bigger with my creations and not to be afraid to create a complex character who helps me face my own battles. And ever since I first watched episode 1 of campaign 2, I’ve just become enlightened to the value of a good character.
