Synopsis[]

Q&A[]

For Matt: How do you balance what you tell the players afterward and what to keep secret for them to find when they come back?
For everyone: If you'll die, what would be your next character, class-wise or character-wise?
For everyone: Would be their more live shows and are you planning at some point to bring back your guest stars to the show?
For everyone: If your characters were Pokemon, which ones would they be?
- Answer from Taliesin: "I love Mewtwo, since he's the most evil."
- Answer from Marisha: "Maybe Growlithe, because it's most like Minxie."
- Answer from Matt: "I can see Scanlan as like a Gengar"
For Matt and Liam: Have any advice on systems or story content to DM for the autistic kid? Does Liam have advice from doing campaigns with his kids?
- Answer from Liam: "Keep it simple in the beginning. Start with a tavern. Start in the town. Start with a swamp. And just slowly build out from there."
- Answer from Matt: "Make sure that they feel like it's a welcoming and comfortable place where the challenges are difficult and success is really fulfilling."
For everyone: What would be the class and race of your favorite character that you have voiced and why?
For everyone: If Vox Machina existed in a science fiction setting instead of fantasy, what would your characters be like?
For everyone: Do you discuss the show afterward?
For Matt: How do I balance between combat and narrative?
For everyone: "When is the first time that your players have actually done fanfic of their character?"
For Matt: Do you think someone should experience Dungeons & Dragons as a player before DMing?
For everyone: Are there any scenes you have not seen fan art of but would like to?
For Matt: How do you push through writer's block?
For everyone: What's it like to be in the center of a Comic-Con panel?
For Matt: How to help a DM if you are the player who built up story and lore?
