We've got a homeless wizard, an inebriated goblin.

我們有個無家可歸的巫師，一個醉醺醺的哥布林。

A shipwrecked sailor, a cocky ringmaster, a temperamental monk, and chaos incarnate.

一個海難的倖存水手，一個傲慢的馬戲團團長，一個脾氣暴躁的僧侶，還有混亂的化身。

Gentlemen, welcome to the awards tour podcast.

各位，歡迎來到獎勵巡迴 podcast。

I was saying as we were getting attached with this, this is normally a one on one podcast, but I'm such a fan of what you guys have done with this show and your entire like decades long journey with critical role.

我剛剛說，當我們開始接觸這一切的時候，這通常是一個一對一的 podcast，但我實在太欣賞你們在這個節目上所做的一切，以及你們與 Critical Role 數十年的旅程。

So when we take a tour over your sort of like stops, we could have various stops, whether it be online and now in the television shows in books and publishing.

所以當我們巡迴你們的各個據點時，我們可以有各種據點，無論是在線上，現在還有電視節目、書籍和出版。

Sam, I'm start with you mostly because I feel you were very quick to say that this was going to be very different.

Sam，我先從你開始，主要是因為我覺得你很早就說這會很不一樣。

When I had spoke to you at Comic Con earlier this year about how the Mighty Nein was going to get darker.

今年早些時候我在 Comic Con 上跟你聊到 Mighty Nein 會變得更黑暗時。

I've now watched all the way to episode eight.

By the time this airs, folks will have seen that you weren't lying.

等到節目播出時，大家就會知道你說的不是假的。

Let's just go ahead and put that out there.

I'm curious for you how y' all started to map out season one and these beats that you were going to hit, knowing how far you have to get in the overall story and again, how much you were gonna give us in these first eight episodes.

我很好奇你們是怎麼開始規劃第一季和這些要達成的節點的，知道你們得推進到整體故事有多遠，以及又要在前八集給我們多少內容。

Yeah, it's such a balancing act because these stories that we're telling, the Mighty Nein original campaign is hundreds and hundreds of hours of actual play time.

沒錯，這真是個平衡的藝術，因為我們在講述的這些故事，Mighty Nein 的原始戰役有數百小時的實際遊玩時間。

And we had to somehow figure out how to boil that down to 44 minute television episodes, but also tell a complete, you know, arc of that story in eight episodes of a season.

我們得想辦法把它濃縮成 44 分鐘的電視節目，同時也要在一個季的八集裡講述一個完整的故事弧線。

Like these episodes are twice as long as our other show, the Legend of Vox Machina, which gives us time to get into side characters and stuff that's going on in the background.

像是這些集數比我們另一檔節目 Legend of Vox Machina 的集數長了一倍，這讓我們有時間深入配角和背景正在發生的事情。

Intrigue, politics, backstory, all that great stuff.

陰謀、政治、背景故事，所有這些很棒的東西。

But there's only eight episodes in a season.

So it's sort of a mad dash to tell a complete story in just eight episodes.

所以要在短短八集內講述一個完整的故事，有點像是在瘋狂衝刺。

The writers and of course the main cast of Critical Role all huddled together for weeks in a room somewhere in Burbank.

Critical Role 的編劇們，當然還有主要演員們，都在 Burbank 的一個房間裡關了幾個星期。

And we all just chose our favorite moments and tried to get as many of them as we could in that first season.

我們都選出了自己最喜歡的片段，並盡量把它們都放進第一季裡。

And yeah, we wanted to make sure it began with a bang and ended with A bang.

對，我們想確保它有個精彩的開頭，也有個精彩的結尾。

對，我們會講到那些精彩的部分。

我們在這裡很喜歡精彩的部分。

There's a lot of banging going on in this season.

I also wanna talk about someone who I got to know more through the process of getting ready for this interview, but who's really integral in that crafting process, and that's your showrunner, Tasha.

我也想聊聊一位我在準備這次訪談的過程中，更認識她的人，她其實在這個創作過程中非常重要，那就是你們的節目統籌 Tasha。

And I was so surprised when I was reading up on her that this was not, like, you found one of your, like, die hard fans who happen to be a showrunner.

而且我在查她資料的時候，真的非常驚訝，這不是，你知道，你找到一位死忠粉絲，剛好又是節目統籌。

Like, this was a person who auditioned for this.

像是，這是她來試鏡過的角色。

And, Travis, were you a part of the team that was, like, quizzing her?

Travis，你當時是那個提問團隊的一員嗎？

Because that is literally something that would wake me up in a cold sweat at night.

因為這真的會讓我半夜冷汗直流。

These people that have lived something for 10 years, all sitting across from me, interviewing me, being like, let just be the worst version of an Internet bro and, like, ask you this question, because I need you to know this backwards and forwards.

這些人，他們為了某件事奮鬥了十年，現在都坐在我對面，採訪我，說，我就當個最糟糕的網路酸民，問你這個問題，因為我需要你對這些瞭若指掌。

Like, you had to make sure she knew it was up.

像是，你們必須確保她知道這件事。

We were lucky enough just to find someone that had a previous knowledge of rip, which is great.

我們很幸運能找到一位對 rip 有先見之明的人，這很棒。

That's a very rare thing, especially with an established story and.

這真的很難得，尤其是有一個既定的故事。

And something that can be a little niche when compared, I think, to the mainstream.

而且我認為，跟主流相比，這東西可能會有點小眾。

It's quite the commitment to watch hundreds of hours of a TTRPG campaign.

觀看數百小時的 TTRPG 戰役，這確實是一項重大承諾。

So when we met with Tasha the first time, there might have been a little CAA grilling just to see if she was legit, to see if her claims were bonafide.

所以，當我們第一次見到 Tasha 時，CAA 可能對她進行了一些嚴格的審查，以確認她是否名副其實，她的說法是否屬實。

But of course, we quickly realized that she was, in fact, what she claimed to be.

但當然，我們很快就意識到，她確實就是她所聲稱的那樣。

And I think we were also very impressed with her personal affections in the story, her preferences, the things that really spoke to her, the elements of the story that she was really interested to sort of speak on and to focus on in the series.

而且我認為，我們也對她在故事中的個人情感、她的偏好、那些真正觸動她的事物，以及她真正感興趣並想在系列中講述和聚焦的故事元素，印象深刻。

And so we were instantly already sparking off of each other in terms of how we wanted to deliver the story, what kind of economy we could reach with the adaptation, how we might present this first season in a different way than we did with the legend of Vox Machina.

是以，在如何講述故事、改編能達到什麼樣的效果，以及如何以不同於《Legend of Vox Machina》的方式呈現第一季等方面，我們立刻就產生了共鳴。

She was more than down for the task and has really helped evolve and advance the show in every single category.

她不僅欣然接受了這項任務，還在每一個方面都真正幫助了節目的演變和進步。

And I love the fact that, like, again, I think you've all talked about some of the things that y' all have like, moved and changed.

而且我喜歡這樣一個事實，就像，再次強調，我認為你們都談過一些你們喜歡、並且有所改變的事情。

And I know that's like an alchemy of everyone put together, but just again, keeping that map through all the episodes as showrunner, I can only imagine how difficult that was.

我知道這就像是大家共同努力的煉金術，但再次強調，作為節目統籌，在所有劇集中都保持這張地圖，我簡直無法想像有多麼困難。

This may be like showing the fact that I didn't watch the live campaign.

這可能就像是展現我沒看過現場戰役的事實。

不過我倒是看過很多片段，超級多片段。

My algorithm, y' all have definitely infected it, but I've got so many.

我的演算法，你們大家肯定都影響了它，但我有好多。

But how much Liam was Caleb because he's on the hero's journey, and I didn't realize that sort of like, obviously this is an ensemble and everybody gets their moments.

但 Liam 是 Caleb 的程度，因為他在英雄之旅上，而我沒意識到，這很明顯是個群戲，每個人都有他們的時刻。

I'm not trying to pretend that, but as I was watching this, I was like, I don't know.

我不是想假裝，但當我看到這個的時候，我心想，我不知道。

He's like, if I was playing a video game, he's the character I was controlling.

他說，如果我在玩電動，他就是我操控的角色。

How early was that a part of the campaign?

Because, yeah, man, I was like, we could get everybody on here to talk about this season.

因為，對啊，老兄，我當時想，我們可以找大家來聊聊這個季度。

But I was like, but we have to get Liam because it just, it felt so much like your story this season.

但我當時想，我們一定要找 Liam，因為這個季度感覺真的太像你的故事了。

嗯，對啊，我的意思是，我會說我們有。

Hopefully there will be many more seasons and we are going to get dig deep into everybody's deep, dark secrets.

希望會有更多季度，我們會深入挖掘每個人的內心深處的祕密。

But I think in the campaign and now the quirk about Caleb is that.

但我認為在這場戰役中，Caleb 的特別之處在於。

And I don't think it was by design necessarily, but his story was woven really deeply into the world that Matt Mercer created for this campaign.

我覺得這不一定是刻意安排，但他的故事深深地融入了 Matt Mercer 為這場戰役創造的世界裡。

We're experiencing a cold war between two nations.

And the ideas and the outlines that I gave to Matt before we started playing the game, he decided to like, sync up to, like, the main engine of the political conflict in this story.

而我在開始玩遊戲前給 Matt 的想法和綱要，他決定將它們與這場故事中政治衝突的主要引擎同步。

So I think in this season, it certainly, you know, it makes sense to dive deep.

所以我認為在這個季度，當然，你知道，深入探討是很有意義的。

And you want to get Caleb's story out so that you can understand him for the duration of the show as we go for multiple seasons.

你會想讓 Caleb 的故事呈現出來，這樣你才能在接下來的節目中，在我們進行多個季度時，真正瞭解他。

But, you know, the story goes wild places after this, so there's plenty of room to blossom outward.

不過，你知道，故事在這之後會去到很瘋狂的地方，所以有很多空間可以向外發展。

And really, like, I think I might have won the prize in going for the trauma backstory.

然後說真的，我覺得我在創傷背景故事這方面可能贏得了獎項。

But all of them, even our silliest, most warm hearted characters are dealing with some sort of conflict or pain or sadness to overcome.

但他們所有人，即使是我們最傻、最溫暖的角色，都在處理某種需要克服的衝突、痛苦或悲傷。

And that's really what holds the nine together is a bunch of people struggling who need each other to make it through that struggle bus.

而這也是將這九個人凝聚在一起的真正原因：一群互相需要才能度過難關的人。

We're gonna get into the more spoiler part of this Season now, now that I've let people into it.

既然我已經讓大家進入狀況了，我們現在要進入這個季度比較有劇透的部分了。

And I talked to y' all again about this at Comic Con and so I'm glad I could bring it back because one of my favorite things in Amazon prime video.

我之前在 Comic Con 上跟你們大家又聊過這件事，所以我很高興能把它帶回來，因為我最喜歡的 Amazon Prime Video 的東西之一。
