For my poor AuADHD brain, trying to find time to fit a whole CR session into my week didn’t work, and whilst I started Campaign 3 well, it soon backed up and I had to stop.
Enter CR: Abridged!
Just as funny, just as awesome and a LOT more consumable!
Thank you!
ENCORE!!!!
I have been a fan of Critical Role for years, but I got really behind with campaign 3 and catching up felt so daunting. I doubt that I will be able to catch up to the current episodes before the campaign ends, but I feel like I have an actual shot of finishing the campaign with these shortened episodes. While I miss the table banter, and all of that, I don’t think I am missing out on any of the really important stuff. These abridged episodes are really well done.
Took a minute to get into. But I love it. I love anime and this led me to Critical Role. Matt Mercer is one of my faves voice actors. and the others are soon becoming my favorites too give it a chance you’ll love it
The collaborative story telling is top notch. I’m 4 episodes in, hard to put it down!
I was excited to find this to catch up with Campaign 3 quicker, only to find out it’s 100 episodes behind and still only releasing one per week. :’(
