CRITICAL ROLE TWITCH SERIES
The series also collaborated with Wizards of the Coast to publish an official D&D rulebook set in their world. Critical Role also recently launched its own tabletop publishing house. In addition to its weekly programming on Twitch, Critical Role is also developing an animated series for Amazon Prime and has a large merchandise line that includes everything from comics published by Dark Horse to Funko POP! figures to young adult novels. Over the past several years, Critical Role has grown into a full-fledged media empire. The show is credited as one of the reasons for Dungeons & Dragons' recent mainstream success and is widely considered to be one of the most successful "let's play" tabletop livestreams. The series launched on Geek & Sundry back in 2015 and spun out into its own channel shortly after the launch of its second season. Tickets for the screening can be found at Cinemark's website.Ĭritical Role is a popular web series starring a group of voice actors playing Dungeons & Dragons. I’m looking forward to what’s coming, but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t going to miss the Mighty Nein.In addition to the Campaign 3 announcement, Critical Role also announced that Cinemark would screen the first episode of the new campaign in 20 select theaters. You can watch on the Critical Role Twitch this Thursday, June 3 at 7pm Pacific or, if that’s a little bit too late to stay up on a weekday, you can catch the VOD on YouTube afterwards. I’ve enjoyed it immensely.Ĭritical Role Campaign 2 episode 141 will be an extra-long episode - no, seriously, they’ve said it’s just over 7 hours.
Campaign 2 was the first Critical Role campaign that started on Twitch, instead of being their home game ported there like Campaign 1 was, and so it’s the first time we’ve gotten to see the complete character arcs of the entire party. But I know whatever expectations I have, they will subvert them. if it’s anything like when Campaign 1 ended, there will be a few weeks of one-shots - some of which may come from their Kickstarter stretch goals - and a small break before we get any idea of what Campaign 3 will be like, where it will be set, and who the cast will be playing.įor Campaign 3, personally I want Laura Bailey to play a Barbarian, Travis Willingham to play a Wizard or Cleric, Sam Riegel to play a Paladin, Liam O’Brien could play a cardboard box and I’d be here for it, Taliesin Jaffe might as well play three characters next campaign, why not, Marisha Ray should play a Sorcerer or really just anything she likes but I’d love to watch her rain spells onto enemies, or again maybe a Cleric because they can be crazy strong, and Ashley Johnson should play a Warlock. There hasn’t been any announcement for what comes next, but we’re sure to see more D&D soon. Where to find: You can watch the show live every Thursday on Critical Role’s Twitch and YouTube channels at 7pm PST / 10pm EST (or 3am GMT the next day) with the VOD available immediately for. There’s been a lot of discussion about the campaign ending since Matthew Mercer tweeted that they were in the final stretch, but we now know for sure that on Thursday, June 3, we’ll be watching the last adventure for the Mighty Nein. There are a lot of loose ends to tie up though, and a few NPCs I wouldn’t mind getting punched in the mouth one last time before it’s truly over. The massive, climactic battle against a figure with a lot of lore connections to the campaign - and I’m not going to spoil it, you can watch the fight here - took place last week. They’ve had an amazingly successful Kickstarter campaign to fund an animated series, they even played a Diablo one-shot session at BlizzConline this year. After several years their second campaign featuring the adventurers called the Mighty Nein is reaching its end, with the final episode airing this Thursday. Pacific, and on that stream (currently pre-recorded due to the pandemic but originally live) a group of friends with serious voice acting resumes - including the roles of Jaina Proudmoore, Illidan Stormrage, and Jesse McCree - play Dungeons and Dragons. If you’re not aware, Critical Role is a web series that streams on Twitch every week on Thursday nights, 7 p.m.
