4-Sided Dive

Title card of 4-Sided Dive as seen in "*4-Sided Dive*: Silken Secrets" (4SDx01)

***4-Sided Dive*** is a monthly roundtable-style talk show with four guests, discussing episodes of Campaign Three and answering fan questions. It usually airs the first Tuesday of every month on Twitch and YouTube with VODs posted to YouTube the following Wednesday, although scheduling has sometimes moved it to different dates. Originally, one of the guests was chosen by dice roll at the beginning of the episode to be the Tavern Keeper and host the show without prior preparation. Beginning with "*4-Sided Dive*: Anxiety Game Gauntlet" (4SDx18), the selection of host was apparently done off-camera. Beginning with "4-Sided Dive Episode 20: Discussing Up To C3E82" (4SDx20), a guest acted as host for the show.

## **Content and structure**

*4-Sided Dive* is structured as a roundtable discussion led by a Tavern Keeper who guides the group through a series of segments:

* **What the Fuck is up with That?** - The guests freely discuss a series of topics chosen for the night.
* **The Tower of Inquiry** - Fan questions are chosen by drawing a block from a "Chenga" tower. Questions are "evergreen" and able to be answered by all guests, including future campaign guest players. There are "serious consequences" when the tower topples. The tower holds 51 questions (17 rows × 3 blocks per row).
* **The Deep Dive** - Questions specific to each guest, developed by Dani Carr and Kyle Shire, are chosen by drawing slips of paper out of tankards. The tankards were custom designed by Flip This Bitch.
* **Gaming** - After the break, the guests play a game while trying to answer additional questions from the production team.

## **Theme song: Let's Roll**

The theme song played at the end of each episode was written by Peter Habib and Sam Riegel.

The abridged version's lyrics used on the credits are:

*Friends around the table, time to celebrate,*
*It's a party, hit the lights, here we go*
*Waste the night away with a little escape,*
*It's a chance to lose control*

*So let's just leave this world behind*
*Everybody, come on take a dive*
*One by one, we roll the dice, come on*
*Let's roll, Critical Role*
*Pour another round, your friends are here to cheer you on*
*(Critical Role)*
*Throw it back, it's good times all night long*
*(Let's roll, Critical Role)*
*No way to lose when you're having this much fun*
*(It's your turn)*
*No way to lose when you're having this much fun*
