The first season will cover the Briarwood arc, which mostly focuses on the backstory of Taliesin Jaffe’s character Percival, an exiled aristocrat with a dark past who invented the world’s first firearm. “Everyone got to say what was most important to them within the campaign and the moments that really stuck out to them, and we made sure to incorporate them into the show,” Bailey said. They collaborated to decide what stories from the 400-plus hour long Vox Machina campaign would make it into the Amazon series’ 12-episode first season. In addition to voicing their characters, all eight original cast members serve as executive producers on the show. Leap into action with Vox Machina in this rough-and-tumble table read from our crew from /5zZXKeAanH- Critical Role October 8, 2021 “While they’re new to the audience, they are very much in canon with the history of these characters,” Mercer said.

“You don’t have to know what Critical Role is or have ever seen us play an RPG game to just jump right into the series and start to meet these characters and explore the world.”Ĭritical Role began in 2012 as a friendly D&D game run by Matt Mercer, a professional voice actor, for his friends who also happen to be professional voice actors. “We wanted to set the entire audience off on the same foot,” cast member Sam Riegel said during a Q&A portion of the presentation.
The announcement was made Friday during a panel at New York Comic Con.

Critical Role has offered a series of live actual-play sessions simulcast in movie theaters for years now.The first two episodes of Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina, the Amazon adult animated show based on the hit Dungeons & Dragons actual play series, will cover material that fans have never heard before. If a movie deal comes through, it also won’t be its first time in theaters. There are also multiple comic books from Dark Horse and several novelizations. Wizards of the Coast published a book on its setting in 2020 titled Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount. This is not the first time that The Mighty Nein has had an expression other than the original actual-play series. Fans should expect to hear the voice talents of all their favorite cast members, including Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Liam O’Brien, Matthew Mercer, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham. “ Mighty Nein follows a group of criminals and misfits,” Amazon said in a news release, “who are the only ones that can prevent the kingdom from plunging into chaos when an arcane artifact capable of reshaping reality falls into the wrong hands.”Īn interesting twist here is that Critical Role will handle its own production through a company called Metapigeon, which is an in-joke about out-of-character table talk that fans of the series will surely recognize. It tells the story of a group of less-than-upright would-be heroes - Caleb Widogast, Veth “Nott the Brave” Brenatto, Jester Lavorre, Fjord, Beauregard Lionett, Mollymauk Tealeaf, and Yasha Nydoorin, among others.
The Mighty Nein is the name of the adventuring party in Critical Role’s second Dungeons & Dragons actual-play series, which ran for 141 episodes on Twitch and YouTube from January 2018 to June 2021, totaling roughly 560 hours of streaming content.
