Jul. 19th, 2018 11:32 pmHow I currently watch Critical Role: The new episode ends on Friday morning and I usually last between ten and fifty minutes of "maybe I should avoid spoilers" before I give in and read the timeline of ![[twitter.com profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/e0caa790ec10/-/twitter.com/favicon.ico)
CritRoleStats. Depending on what happened I either impatiently wait or almost forget about it until Monday evening, when the new episode is posted on YouTube. The episodes being about 4+ hours long, sometimes I finish watching on Tuesday, but often later, this week for example on Thursday. And then before I had some time to think about it the next episode is out and I feel like I should wait with reactions until I've seen that.
This to explain why I haven't been talking about CR much; also because it took me a while to warm up to the new characters. One of my favourite aspects of Vox Machina was that it was full of found family feelings, and of course you don't have that yet with a bunch of characters who've never met before. (Unsurprisingly, my favourite characters & relationships early on where those who'd met pre-campaign.) Additionally, the players are still getting used to their characters as well (both when it comes to roleplay and abilities.) I finally started to become more invested in the new group around episode 22, and now the latest, 26, was great (despite SPOILER) and I really look forward to seeing where it goes from here.
