LAURA: Thanks, Sam!
SAM: No. Welcome, new viewers. Every week– or
many weeks, I am charged with writing the ad for
the sponsor of that week. I did this one way back
in mid-December, so it’ll feel a little stale.
(laughter)
SAM: Sorry. I didn’t have time to write a new one.
Apologies to our sponsor. But our second sponsor
tonight is Backblaze. They offer unlimited cloud
backup for Macs and PCs. You can restore from the
web or via hard drive. They’ll even overnight
FedEx a drive to you, and because it’s Christmas
season, I wrote this. ‘Twas the night before
Critmas when I clicked on my mouse, but the drive
wasn’t whirring; it had said 'Adi-ouse’. When up
from the cloud there arose such a sight, I knew in
a flash that my shit was all right. As I spat out
my plate of cold chicken kiev, down my chimney
came a weird little elf named Lev. I said, “Whoa,
whoa, whoa, how’d you get in my place?” Lev gave
me a wink and punched me in the face. And suddenly
he fired up a pipe and started to restore my
computer from a backup he carted. My documents,
like slash fiction from My Little Pony. My photos,
like me naked, covered in bologna. He mumbled that
you can get backed up at once for a merry little
fee of $5 a month-s. You even get 15 days free if
you scroll over to backblaze.com/criticalrole. And
just like that, my computer was on. Lev greased up
his body, and bam, he was gone. But I heard him
exclaim, “Peace out, yo, whassup! Happy Backblaze
to all, don’t forget to back up!”
(cheering)
SAM: I’ll write another one for Easter, I
promise.
(laughter)
MATT: Thank you, Sam. So thank you, Backblaze.
Happy to have you for our sponsor tonight as well.
Also, as a heads-up, we’ve had our friends at
Wyrmwood for a while have been awesomely providing
Wyrmwood dice boxes and dice trays and dice towers
to give away to people in the community. They have
new boxes for all the players in the new campaign.
And they have been working on something for a
while for us to kick off the new campaign. They
made us a new table. If we can go to a camera view
of this table they made for the campaign.
(cheering)
MATT: It’s made out of English brown oak, the
center Critical Role inlay is made of ash burl, is
the background, and then rosewood for the d20
outline, wenge for the Critical Role words
themselves, and silver stringing around the
border. It was built by hand in their
Massachusetts office and workshop, and it was
hand-rubbed oil on a wax finish. Over a hundred
hours were put into this table. They did an
incredible job, and we’re super honored to have
that here, and thank you guys for showing such an
awesome appreciation for what we do.
SAM: It smells really nice.
LAURA: We have cubbies!
MARISHA: It smells like wood in the studio, like
fresh wood.
