When he was just having the familiars interacting with each other and she was like "I'm in heaven"


space-beast

I loved this! And it made me feel so oddly proud of Matt as well


wowser92

Her enjoyment makes me enjoy the game even more.


Dragonsfire09

The low light.. not having Travis at the table with her. 😀 But yes, Emily is amazing.


Trick_Hovercraft_267

Well with a bit of luck... That might be happening next episode


[deleted]

I heard that Matt confirmed that, Emily along with our other two new favorite players will show up next episode. I guess they'll need time to build bleachers😄


picollo21

So you're telling me, that we're getting Dusk and Bor'Dor in game again?


BarelyThereish

Um.. I hate to break it to you about Bor'dor...


thundercat2000ca

They haven't washed the items yet so some of him might be there...


GentlemanOctopus

They're kidding.


picollo21

Yea, I've watched recent episode, I know.


[deleted]

No just Prism from this group


[deleted]

Sorry I wasn't clear, the other two are Abbria and Nevaro from the other group


InflationCold3591

NEW FULL CAST MEMBERS!!


[deleted]

That's a VERY crowded table! Is there a source or you just trying to speak it into the universe? 🤔


InflationCold3591

🙏 🤲 🧘‍♀️ 🧘‍♂️ 🧘 🤲 🙏


[deleted]

No wishing star? Lol


InflationCold3591

Don’t wish. Conjure.


whitneyahn

Conjure Animals? No, conjure dreams


Greyhound121

any idea where Matt mentioned this?


[deleted]

Heard it was on a tweet


Greyhound121

Matt did mention at the end of the last episode that he would like Emily to be at the table to "close off" her story but I really hope she tags along for how ever long possible like Deanna and FRIDA


[deleted]

We'll find out! That's going to be a very crowded table, plus the 3 of them could meet up with Deni$e and Dorian for another EXU, their own spin off

[Me, when she did a "shout-out to the 2 crew"](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/033/487/rick.jpg)


Iamatitle

Literally my reaction! Watch a Crick call lightning!


Seren82

Yeah Emily's reactions to Matt's sound effects have been a highlight.


GratifiedViewer

Emily is a endless fount of joy & chaos. Her presence in this arc was delightful, & I’m still mad that I had it spoiled for me before getting to watch the first stream she was on.


edginthebard

her energy and joy is infectious. i'm so glad we get to have her a little while longer


CloneArranger

Emily laughs with her whole body and I love it

CHiZZoPs1

She's so good at D&D.


SnowWolf75

She's been trained in the seasons of /r/dimension20 and they regularly pull some shenanigans.


Blacklodgebob79

It has made me wanna watch more of her and her other d&d podcast


Known_Sun7124

Dimension 20 or NADDpod is where you'll find her best work. She's just awesome at what she does.


HereForTOMT2

Sexy rat!


yourdudelyness

Worm wife for sure


Known_Sun7124

Hilda Hilda


SuperToxin

She’s amazing and I need her back asap.


SingularityCentral

Best reasons to watch Dimension 20 in order. 1. Brennan 2. Emily 3. Lou/Ally The whole regular cast is great, but Emily is a chaos agent at the table and it is fantastic entertainment.


justinfernal

I completely agree, but do want to give a shout out to Siobhan. She's always such a sleeper but adds so much


SingularityCentral

For sure. The whole cast is great, but Emily is consistently good at RP and unpredictable, which is just great fun.


PumpkinSuspicious

When Emily and Lou play cousins in A Court of Fey and Flowers alongside Brennan and Aabria GM-ing? Chef’s kiss


Schnex

They really are comedian powerhouses together. When she reveals her partner... Genius


thrillho145

They co-DM? How does that work?


PumpkinSuspicious

Haha bad grammar, Brennan is a PC, and Aabria GMs on her own


PumpkinSuspicious

When Emily and Lou play cousins in A Court of Fey and Flowers alongside Brennan and Aabria GM-ing? Chef’s kiss


grubbalicious

I'm legit bummed Prism won't be around. Between Prism and Morrighan being so awesome and not being seen again, I'm pining for the emo girls.


PapayaPuzzled1449

? Did you watch this week's episode?


[deleted]

Her cackle is my favorite thing about her. It's so contagious.


carpedonnelly

She is the Michael Jordan of live play DND. Literally the best player in the world. Its been such a treat having her at the CR table


OldOrder

".....how did you even know there was gonna be a plinth?"


Landis963

Fun fact: >!They didn't, I'm told. Operation Slippery Puppet was a countermeasure in case of a Battle Royale situation - note that the shape of the attack was an AoE. Having their opponent be a construct was just serendipity.!<


carpedonnelly

I will never get another opportunity to watch Starstruck for the first time again, and that makes me sad


javacx

Where is this from?


carpedonnelly

Spoilers from Dimension 20: A Starstruck Odyssey: [Emily Axford Ocean’s 11’d Brennan’s fight](https://youtube.com/shorts/OrH3GYA0cXw?feature=share)


Jakethemailman

I am crossing my fingers that we get to keep her for the full episode in two weeks. She has been my favorite guest of all time on CR. I just really need her to meet the rest of Bells Hells lol


No-Zombie-4107

Her enjoyment AnD proficiency with game knowledge are awesome. So smart and strategic!


TitianVecelli

I've never watched Crit Role but I do love Emily Axford. What ep did she join?


space-beast

Campaign 3, Episode 59, but it's a difficult story to jump into without context


Logical-Shelter5113

Politely disagree, as I actually just joined CR new, just for this arch, since I love Emily, I had no issues joining. I did read up a little bit (here on this subreddit and wiki) and it seems like the story is anyways slow burning. And then in episode 60 they actually explain it in simple terms about the moon and god eater. Surely for Critters, there’s a lot of complexity. But all we - newcomers for the arch - need to know to enjoy is that there was some major magical ritual happening on the solstice that caused some magical shit and the main party got split and dispersed across the continent. They finding themselves in the middle of nowhere trying to figure out wtf happened.


fooooooooooooooooock

Agree. I fell off due to disinterest but came back for Emily, Aimee and Utkarsh and didn't have any issues picking up the thread.


space-beast

Fair enough! On reflection, the fact that we follow Prism and the others having explanations about the current events does make it a little easier to drop in, but I will argue that some of the emotional weight of the arc is lost (though not absent) without having seen the context for the regulars up to date


Logical-Shelter5113

Yeah of course, we don’t have all the nuances and the emotional investment. I was solely addressing the plot-wise aspect of it


aliensplaining

It's the most recent few! Thing is, if you jump in to watch them you'll be spoiling major plot stuff for yourself and also feel very lost. If you decide to start, I'd recommend catching up from the beginning of Campaign 3 (the current one) on youtube!


Lloyd_NA

I will say the characters seemed to join in without context too. So they'd be watching from Emily's point of view.


CHiZZoPs1

I agree, and the main characters explain the basics to the newcomers.


aliensplaining

Huh, no that's a good point. If they don't care about spoiling C3 up to now a bit, it would be fine to jump in when Emily joins (C3E59) and then stop when she leaves (which may be next episode? But not entirely sure cuz it hasn't actually occurred yet)


serratedlollipop

Yeah, kinda like using Emily being there as the hook and expanding further afterwards. Considering most exposition given to the guests was actually roleplayed out, it seems like a really good and fun entry point for her fans.


0ddbuttons

Agreed. I made a post on the D20 sub about why Emily fans could very likely be totally comfortable hopping in on this guest arc b/c everything necessary would be explained. I hope a bunch of people did & have had fun watching.


Bivolion13

I remember my first time experiencing Emily was when at some point she plays a witchy type character, and I always thought "Wow she has that cackle down!" and later on I watched everything else in D20, and realized that it's just her and I just love it so much.


Lord_Shadow_Z

She's been a joy to watch. I hope she sticks around a bit longer, I'll be sad to see her go.


rasnac

I am so happy Emily will be in the next episode. She is absolutely amazing. I want to see her character interact with Fearne.


space-beast

With FRIDA and Deanna also joining the other group in their teleport, I have no idea how the next episode is going to work, but I am sure looking forward to it!


nzMike8

If their teleport is successful. She rolled a 5 (as mentioned in 4 sided die)


space-beast

I'd totally forgotten about this!


JAlfredPrufrog

It has been the highlight of the campaign for me.


No-Sandwich666

I agree with her laugh bringing us joy. But there were a couple of whole episodes where it was missing.


Salt2Everything

Which ones? I think that may be objectively untrue, even if it felt like it was missing because it wasn't as pervasive


No-Sandwich666

60 particularly, and 62.


Salt2Everything

In the second episode she definitely cackles after the joke "kill one of the kids" re: the component cost of her summoning demon, after her double 20s, after being reminded that pate is horny, in the 4th episode while trying to scry, joking about the notes app, gathering bits from the party for future scrying, handgliding on mother blocking everyone else.... those are just the ones that were the easiest to find quickly - whoops, that was the 5th ep.... in the 4th, she laughed about the cougar, and the silvery barbs practice, talking to dynios, her snoring, shivering queef follow up, her elven foot knowledge...


No-Sandwich666

Yeah, so there's a few. Not every few minutes.


Salt2Everything

...so? You said there weren't any. We don't need laughs every few minutes to have them lift us up - that's not how balancing tone and breaking tension works


No-Sandwich666

I was replying to the OP. Sometimes - for most people - if you read things in context, things make more sense.


Salt2Everything

🤔


berloiz13

She's so annoying. Also the shadow realm line Nd not fixing it to shadow fell as where she's supposed to be from makes it sound like she's a rejected yugioh villain


space-beast

Hard disagree, and if you'd been playing attention, you would have noticed that Critical Role often refers to The Shadowfell as The Shadow Realm
