In case you are not aware, two characters died on the latest episode of Critical Role. I am working on a video tentatively titled "Mercer Kills--and So Should You" for release this Tuesday. It's not really about CR. It's about why the threat of death needs to be real, and characters need to die on occasion. 

This video will be uploaded by the end of today, tomorrow latest.

"The Dungeons of Ikea" is in editing and will be uploaded next Friday.

I was just waiting for you to react to this PDM! I’ve been reading the sh@tstorm around this whole thing on Twitter. It’s unbelievable, Mercer is getting a ton of crap from fans complaining about him killing characters that they were heavily invested in! I really think you could also make a video connected to this about people getting too attached to a character.

I’ll believe it when they roll up new PCs. They have revivify and Marisha Ray’s old PC Keyleth is a demigod in their campaign who could swoop in and raise them. Plus they just rolled out new merch for Fearne. Call me crazy, but I’m skeptical.

I don't follow CR, so no idea this happened, but ... people need to settle down if their jimmies are rustled that badly over an online character. If CR is being taken as a public flagship of D&D, then it should show all aspects of the game, including death of a PC (or two).

I also think, that we have to wait to see, if the characters truly stay dead and the players roll up new characters. In the first campaign, the characters also died a few times, but were often revived (in case of Liams character Vax, he became straight up partly immortal at the end, because he got recruited by the Death Goddess herself to stop the Big Bad.)

Those of us that play OD&D, AD&D, B/X D&D, DCC, Deathbringer, CoC, etc… (insert meme of Tom Cruise laughing maniacally.)

The Dungeons of Ikea? Man... I bet maps of that place are impossible to follow!

Right? Big Annie Wilkes energy from the fandom. Hope these people aren't watching Sandman too. The final season of that is going to break them.

Would be fun if it was a Re-Animator/ Pet Cemetery situation.

Wow, if there was a necromancer in the party, things could get really fun.

Looking forward to it! If they don't revive the characters, this might be the best thing to happen in CR imo. I kinda feel like Mercer was inspired a bit by Brennan's Calamity, and that makes me happy! We need more character deaths, not less!

Characters have died on Critical Role before. Some came back, some didn't. People just need to calm down.

Me: critical what? ((I will watch PDMs video anyway))
