Can you describe the error? What page are you on when you click the link that gets you into the loop?

EDIT: Never mind, I think I fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out and let me know if you still encounter a problem.

It's just standard D&D conversion: 10 copper = 1 silver, 10 silver = 1 gold, 10 gold = 1 plat.

Well, it was announced this week that they've been renewed for a 5th and final season, so barring Prime Video changing their mind for some reason (cratered ratings, change in management, going bankrupt-- who knows?) there will definitely be a Season 5.

Is there an interesting item of miscellany you think should be added?

Thanks for the update! Would it be possible to provide a tl;dr summary written in layperson language of specifically what might change and in what areas we should be keeping an eye open for potential issues?

I mean... Obann, Lucien, and Thordak aren't even in the running. Ludinus wants to free a god, Vecna became a god, and Predathos eats gods for breakfast.

Closing this poll out because we now know the answer!

Quite simply because we don't know them. If you know of a source that gives them, please share!

Wow, have to admit I didn't remember she had a name! Absolutely if you want to create a page for her, go for it, and feel free to post (or contact either me or Micaerys) if you need any help along the way.

Sure, if you're experienced and comfortable with editing wiki templates, you certainly can do updates like these. We do ask that before making major changes you bring it up first so we can be sure it won't mess up other things that may connect.

Thanks for pointing this out! I went ahead and added a bunch of other new stuff while I was in there, like the upcoming Beau and Caduceus comics and Vox Machina Origins Series IV. It looks like you found the {{Comic}} template, which is actually better for citing to a specific volume of multi-part comics, anyway.

If you ever find something that needs an update or addition, please continue posting about it!

Initial thought is that sometimes we've added notes in Trivia for individual shows about the music where we learned a source, and Template:Infobox Show has an entry line for the theme music, where that's appropriate. For the smaller things like the two you reference without specific articles or even real mentions, I'm not sure where that info could go in general; it would be very case-by-case. For instance, maybe a note in the Trivia for Candela? And in the Merchandise subheading in Critical Role Productions LLC?

If you were thinking about perhaps creating some kind of a general Music page listing songs and/or artists where they've been identified, that's an interesting idea. I'm not sure offhand what the easiest way to track it would be but if it's something you wanted to think further about with an eye toward getting it started, that would be good.

That's exactly where I came down. If the question is, "Who has been the greatest/most powerful threat?" then I'd vote Vecna, but if we're going with present tense we have to stick to folks who are actually alive and/or free to act.

Is, or was?

I agree with virtually everything you've said. It's interesting that Matt normally will correct players if they misremember or have apparently misinterpreted something an NPC said, but in this case he's letting them run with it. To me it's a good study in what can happen in real life where we don't have an omniscient GM keeping the record straight. I don't think any of the cast are intentionally lying (possibly someone has a hidden agenda but I'd be shocked if that were the case). I think, as you say, this is simply the normal human response to make facts fit an emotional response. I also think that Matt was nudging them in that direction, with the frankly terrifying Judicators and a suggestion that the temple workers were in some way Colonialist nature-haters. I wonder how much the guest players' world view had been filled in ahead of time by him, and my guess is quite a bit.

This isn't a rant at Matt, either. My suspicion is that he was trying to set this situation up to further explore different possible relationships between the gods and mortals. I kind of applaud trying to make the Prime Deities less knee-jerk "the good guys" and the Betrayers (from a branding perspective, what a terrible name!) "the bad guys", because EXU Calamity did a wonderful and fascinating job of that. Where the archivist in me cringes is when facts are misrepresented or misremembered in support of that position. I have sympathy for the players there because I know in my home game I'm probably the worst in the party for remembering facts, but thankfully others can walk and chew gum at the same time, take notes, and correct me when I'm wrong.

Sorry for the long-winded response, but I think you've done a masterful job of setting out the dissonances between what happened on-stream and the players' reactions/memories to it.

I don't know if you've had a chance to watch the latest 4-Sided Dive, but it was a little startling to me to hear Taliesin's takeaway on the situation in Hearthdell, which didn't jibe with my memories of what was actually said about the actions of the Dawnfather's followers there. I think it's really realistic in terms of people (all people, not excluding myself here) tending to form an opinion based on the first story they hear, when there may be more to the story, more nuance, more grayscale, or a whole other side. Unfortunately the party acted without hearing the other side, but in their defense it felt like Matt was kind of pushing them in that direction, and after the fact has done very little to suggest they read the situation wrong.

Matt also said in the same 4-Sided Dive, "Each campaign has multiple different themes, but this one definitely is faith and what that means in a very relative sense. Faith can be so many things and it can mean so many different things to different people. I like exploring gods and religion, both in the positive and the not so positive light, as just like in our real world, there's plenty of both, and I think based on the themes of Ludinus, the Ruby Vanguard, the pantheon, what we built over these years in Exandria, I think it's a wonderful place to explore what often in fantasy settings is just a given. There are gods, and they exist, and they're powerful, and they're mysterious, and then you focus on the small world. This campaign, I'm definitely interested in going, but what if small world could destroy the gods? And how would they react to that, and how would the world react to that sort of turmoil of conflicting philosophies and drives and interests?"
