Talks Machina 100: Xhorhas

is the one hundredth episode of Talks Machina. The cast discuss with host Brian Wayne Foster.

Synopsis

 * The Search for Grog oneshot airs on February 22 on Critical Role's Twitch channel, uploaded on February 23 to Critical Role's Youtube channel.
 * Travis debuted his "dad glasses."
 * Talks Machina and Critical Role will air on Critical Role's Twitch channel starting with this episode of Talks Machina. Future episodes of both shows will be available on Critical Role's Youtube channel. Starting with Episode 101, Talks Machina episodes will be available on Youtube the Thursday after they air.
 * Talks Machina has had 9 call-ins, 244 guest misnomers, 93 episodes of pre-show hijinks, 93 episodes of Arsequeef, 826 days of being on the internet.


 * The cast would like more call-ins. The process of the show has remained the same; the concept of a talkshow of a D&D campaign was always absurd to Brian. It's always been about fans, so now we have more cams!
 * Stever Failows (cameraman and director of photography) Cam: does a bit of not paying attention.


 * Been forced to embrace tragedy, interplay of characters has made stories more politically tense. Characters are less archtypical than before. Learned to be proud of my players for mucking up my ideas of where things are going.


 * Hoping for more new possible things as we find other ways to use the space.


 * She feels no longer the oddball - thrilled she doesn't need the mask and can let her freak flag fly!
 * Zach (technical director) Cam
