The Hour of Honor

is the twenty-fourth episode of the second campaign of Critical Role. The Mighty Nein explore the town of Hupperdook, and find much more intrigue than they bargained for...

Pre-Show
Travis is in a good mood tonight.

Announcements

 * Our two sponsors for the evening are the recurring D&D Beyond and (from inside the family) Jason Charles Miller's new album: "In The Wasteland".
 * Sam did prepare in advance for tonight's D&D Beyond ad. Contrary to popular belief, he spends a lot of time coming up with ads...in fact, he has a file of rejected ad ideas that he reads out loud.  They are terrible, to say the least...Sam tempts death by mocking the Dallas Cowboys and sings new lyrics to the D&D Beyond jingle (using Caleb's tragic backstory).  He also produces a "computer-generated" photo of what he expects Travis and Laura's baby to look like.  Laura says it looks like a Ferengi.  Marisha says it looks like that guy from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but she can't remember the name.  Sam gives Laura flowers to apologize for that last bit.  He also reveals that his flask tonight has Laura's picture...minus her eyebrows.  Marisha remembered the name: Anthony Kiedis.
 * You saw him in Campaign 1 as Garthok, he's been on a number of Geek & Sundry shows, he wrote the theme song for the show...and now Jason Charles Miller has a new album out this week! The album cover for In The Wasteland has a cool design.  It's available now, wherever music is streamed or sold.  You can buy an autographed CD from Jason's website: jasoncharlesmiller.com.  If you like rock, country, metal, or any music in-between, you will probably like this album.  If you are familiar with his previous work, In The Wasteland is pretty badass, actually.  Matt is very big about music, and Jason's stuff is great.  There will be a little video at the break discussing the album.
 * The cast made the announcement earlier this week, but Critical Role launched its brand-new online store and is working on brand-new shows for new, independent YouTube and Twitch channels. Laura realizes that none of the cast is wearing the new shirt.  Travis has one, he'll put it on during the break.  Matt continues, announcing the new Mighty Nein shirt...which already sold out really fast.  More have already been ordered, and they are coming in.  Only S, M, and 4XL are still sold out.
 * Friends of the cast in the Critter community will be on WebDM on Monday, June 24th at 1:00 pm CDT to do a fantastic fundraiser D&D stream with an all-female cast (including Satine Phoenix), benefiting the Girls Empowerment Network in Texas. Go to twitch.tv/webdm (or twitch.tv/criticalrole, because the new Twitch channel will be hosting them), check it out, and help a great charitable cause.  Liam adds that it is not to be confused with "Web MD".
 * The standard editions of the "Vox Machina: Origins" TPB are still available on the Geek & Sundry and Project Alpha online stores.
 * Talks Machina is, of course, every Tuesday evening at 7:00 pm PDT, where our fantastic host Brian W. Foster talks about tonight's episode, next week. A few of the cast will be present to discuss what transpired.
