The bard, Scanlan, appealed to me the most although he can be a bit corny, and I also liked Grog. I wish I’d read this while I was still playing to give me more ideas of what to do with my character.Īnyway, I didn’t care much for the plot but enjoyed reading the story because of the characters. I played a gnome bard character but did a sucky job (I think, lol). I really enjoyed reading this, and I think a major reason why is because of how excited I was to start playing D&D and that the relationship between Scanlan and Grog reminded me of the D&D campaign I participated in and the relationship between my and a friend’s character. In another part of the town, Scanlan Shorthalt, a gnome bard, and his crew, which includes his companion, Grog Strongjaw, a goliath barbarian, are caught up in an adventure at the temple of the shark god not knowing that their actions will later cause them to join forces with the twins, Keyleth and her friend. Despite their shared interest in the waters surrounding Stilben, the twins part ways with Keyleth for the moment to pursue the mystery separately. While there, they meet Keyleth, a half-elven druid, who informs them that the waters are poisoned, not cursed. The story begins with twins Vax and Vex, half-elven rouge and ranger, respectively, investigating the waters around a town called Stilben to find out why the townspeople believe it’s cursed. I was grateful for this experience as I read the story, but I think someone who has never heard of nor played D&D before would also enjoy this comic book as much as I did. The only background I had when I started this is that I’d (at the time) played D&D a few times with friends to try out and be introduced to the game and its format. I knew nothing about Critical Role, so I didn’t associate this with the popular Dungeons & Dragons web series either. I didn’t know what to expect going into this because I didn’t bother reading the summary on the back when I bought it last year, or prior to reading it this year. Even then, whether or not they can overcome what truly lurks at the bottom of the town’s travails remains to be seen!Ĭollects Critical Role Vox Machina: Origins comics issues #1-6, one of the best selling digital comics ever!
