I started listening to Critical role because of you! I have soooo much material to listen to at work thanks to you! Thanks! I love all the characters already, and a line from Grog sealed the deal for me. "I 'ave an intelligence of 6, I know wot I'm doin"
That is literally one of my favorite Grog lines of all time and it’s in the very first episode. One of the reasons I love Grog so much is that he’s willing to play a character who has an intelligence of 6 for Character flavor and he makes it work so well!! Travis Willingham is an incredibly insightful and clever man, but he sticks to what Grog would know and do in the situation and that is talent.
Honestly if you’re intimidated by the amount of content and just want to catch up with the drama, you can skip arcs and catch up through context clues. BUT if you’re willing to wait through filler episodes, I promise you that some of the funniest moments in the goddamn series happen during filler/shopping episodes.
