Matthew Mercer

Matthew Mercer (@matthewmercer) is a voice actor and the Game Master/Dungeon Master for the show Critical Role. He has been GM since the beginning of the campaign two years before the web show started.

Matt twas the DM for a D&D game in high school.

In preparation for the Stream, Matt converted the game over from Pathfinder to Dungeons and Dragons because Pathfinder combat is slower due to many various modifiers. D&D also has more name recognition.

When converting over the game, Matt had to create a custom class for Taliesin Jaffe's character Percy as he is a gunslinger. They both sat down and took a full day to switch over the character and all of his stats and abilities.
