How do you want to do this?

"How do you want to do this?", often abbreviated as HDYWTDT, is an iconic line and staple of Critical Role. It is frequently uttered by Matthew Mercer, the Dungeon Master, when a player strikes the killing blow in a difficult or momentous encounter. The player then has the opportunity to describe an epic (or comical) victory for Matt to narrate.

CritRoleStats keeps lists of "How do you want to do this?" moments from across the Vox Machina, Wildemount, and Marquet campaigns.
