Announcements

 * We give a big shout-out and thanks to our two sponsors for tonight's episode:
 * Starting with our friends at D&D Beyond: As "Sam" (Producer Max) said last week, "Waterdeep: Dragon Heist" is available now on D&D Beyond and "Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage" is available for pre-order and will release November 2, 2018! Because D&D Beyond is such a generous sponsor of this show, Sam shares some of what Critical Role does with some of that sponsorship money.  The Critical Role team turned that money into this amazing studio and equipment.  So Sam created a video to demonstrate all the after-effects and editing suites that the studio has.  A chroma-keyed Sam provides cues to insert VFX for explosions, a beholder, Matthew Mercer, Nugget, and a Star Trek "beam up"...with no special effects.  The crew didn't edit Sam's video at all.  The final video is just lame, and kind of insulting to Producer Max who was responsible for that video's editing.  Matt is terrified that one of these days Sam's escalating D&D Beyond ads will be the death of them all.  Sam declares that for his last0-ever D&D Beyond ad, he will bring a loaded gun.
