    Also of note, he made his own spinoff audio series based around tiberius and his adventures, in defiance of tiberius being canonically dead in CR. He made a kickstarter to turn it into an animated series but evidently just ran with the money and the series never materialized.

    He also ran a charity stream against someones will and pocketed all that money too.

    Dude is a selfish prick.

    You know, I’ve spent a good chunk of my morning dumpster diving for food. I don’t have the energy for any of this but I still did it anyway because why not have a discussion. I’m not some rich simp, I absolutely hate them considering I have to dig through the trash to find something to eat today. Hopefully. But seeing you just straight up ignore giant chunks of my comment because you either cannot explain it away or just because it challenges your narrative makes me walking away from this comment and going to take a nap a whole lot easier.

    Have a good day.

    First off, having that much money in and of itself is going to generate fuckloads of money. He is also the CEO of one of the largest companies on Earth in his world. There are no numbers on the amount of income he has or the amount that he donates, just stupidly high numbers constantly thrown on either side. Like in the billions or trillions.

    If that were true he wouldn’t be rich.

    You know exactly what I meant and that is just being absurdly pedantic.

    You say that as if it’s a good thing. Unless that philanthropy is actively making him poor, it’s just something he does to make himself feel good.

    I am utterly incapable of seeing how someone helping others to make themselves better is actually a bad thing overall.

    And then he goes back to his mansion where his butler helps him get ready for bed.

    And?

    His money is the source of the problem, and he never seems to get any poorer.

    His money? HIS money? No. Money. You seem to be conflating the two and getting weirdly angry over the wrong dude.

    Is he cursed to be rich?

    No but he is cursed to be intelligent and realize that he can do more good with his absurd riches than he can without it. His character builds Orphanages and community centers because he is rich. If he was broke he’d help in that way. But he’s not. Because he’s rich. He’s just taking advantage of a world that’s fucked and using the fucked things for good. He was born rich and knows how to be rich. He also wants to use that rich for good. By being rich, he just becomes more rich because that is how the world works. Unless you give away literally every dollar, you’re going to make money just by being rich. It’s stupid but that’s how it works.

    The problem isn’t Bruce Wayne, the problem is the system. The dude cannot fix the system by snapping his fingers because he is dude. There are other rich people in this world who want to keep things the status quo. Batman has openly said on multiple occasions that he doesn’t want to be rich and have this type of inequality but what’s the other option? Seriously. I want you to actually name me a legitimate option of what he could do and then I will demonstrate when that happened in the comics or when it was pointed out in the comics that it cannot happened.

    1. They were having to actively watch his dice rolls all the time for a long time before Episode 27. They even make subtle jokes about it during the stream. There were times you can visibly see him just straight up re roll it. Matt even said in a comment once, before deleting it, that the “only dice fudging player is no longer part of the show.”

    2. He kept lying about how many spell slots he had available.

    3. “Misunderstood” a ring of Spell Storing so that he had four 4th level spells stored in it

    4. He would be a complete dick to fans on Twitter to the point that other CritRole people had to step in and tell him off. Went everywhere from “YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHTS TO DO THIS THING” to “YOU’RE NOT A REAL FAN”.

    5. Had an extreme case of Main Character Syndrome. During the last episode he even tried to solve Percy’s arc, throwing around his royal lineage, trying to make it about his telekensis putting a shot in that Laura rolled a 35 on, getting a pet because Laura had a pet,

    6. Shopped way too fucking much and planned ridiculous things that could never work, exhausting Mercer to no end and driving Travis absolutely insane.

    7. Made really offputting sexual comments for no reason like “As Vex is going over this plan, Tiberius is getting a chub but you can’t see it because it’s inside.” WHAT?! Granted that was from the last episode he was on but fucking hell.

    8. Would argue with Mercer about how things worked and then effectively challenge him. Mercer would then put him in his place and he’d get all whiny. He openly said at one point he believes DnD is a competition between the DM and the Player.

    9. He’d metagame to high heaven, one example being refusing to get involved in a Beholder fight because Orion, playing a sorcerer, knew about the Beholders anti-magic cone. When pressed on this in-game by the other PCs, he uses Silence to just completely shut them up so they can’t tell him off. Just really bitchily shuts them down. Or when he tried to get a long rest because he used up all his spell slots and knew a Rakshasha was hunting them. OR when he tried to summon a ton of water to stop a vampire fleeing despite his character never seeing a vampire nor knowing their weaknesses over flowing water.

    10. He got really frustrated that a chick he was trying to go after ended up going after another NPC, a woman no less. He ended up demonstrating more than a little latent homophobia from that.

    They’ve never really said why he left and most Critical Role communities will shut down any discussion of it. Not sure why. It’s a DnD game. We’ve all had to deal with bad players.
