The Legend of Vox Machina edit

Main article: The Legend of Vox Machina

On March 4, 2019, the Critical Role cast launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a 22-minute animation called Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina Animated Special.[1] The animated story was to be set just before the streaming portion of the campaign started—when the players were around level seven—during a time when, canonically, there is an in-game period of roughly six months when the members of Vox Machina were not all together at the same time. The cast projected a cost of US$750,000 for a single 22-minute animated short, fulfilling the other campaign rewards, and the fees associated with a crowdfunding campaign. Not knowing how long this would take to raise, the campaign length was set at 45 days.[2][3]

Within an hour of launch, however, the Kickstarter had reached more than $1,000,000.[2] At the end of the first full day, all of the announced stretch goals had been unlocked, and the total had reached more than $4.3 million.[2][4] With four 22-minute episodes funded in the first 24 hours,[2] additional stretch goals were added, expanding the project into an animated series. The first two episodes would cover the pre-stream story arc. The subsequent episodes would adapt the Briarwoods' arc, also from the Vox Machina campaign. By March 18, 2019, eight 22-minute episodes had been funded.[5][6][7] Finally, on April 4, 2019, the last published stretch goal of $8.8 million was reached during the airing of episode 57 of campaign two, pushing the total length of the animated series to ten episodes. A "secret" $10M stretch goal of Willingham being filmed going around a haunted house was reached April 16.[8][9] The final total raised by the Kickstarter when it closed on April 19, 2019, was $11.3M.[10][11] When the campaign closed, it was one of the most quickly funded in Kickstarter history, and was the most funded Kickstarter for TV and film projects.[12][13]

The cast reprise their respective Vox Machina roles, with the exception of Orion Acaba.[14][15] The animated series is written by Jennifer Muro, and animated by Titmouse, Inc.[2][16][17] In November 2019, Amazon Prime Video announced that they had acquired the streaming rights to The Legend of Vox Machina, and had commissioned 14 additional episodes (two additional episodes for season 1 and a second season of 12 episodes).[18] An update posted to the Kickstarter campaign assured backers they would have access to the first season.[19][20][18] The project was originally slated for release in late 2020, however in June 2020, it was announced that the debut would be missed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[21][22][23] The Legend of Vox Machina premiered on January 28, 2022;[24][25] the soundtrack for the first season premiered the same day digitally.[26]

Mighty Nein edit

In January 2023, it was announced that the second campaign will receive an animated television adaptation for Amazon Prime Video titled Mighty Nein. The series will be executive produced by Tasha Huo, Sam Riegel, Travis Willingham, Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina; Metapigeon, Amazon Studios, and Titmouse, Inc. will serve as the production companies.[27][28]

On October 20, 2020, the coffee table book The World of Critical Role: The History Behind the Epic Fantasy by Liz Marsham was released.[44] In The New York Times Best Seller list for November 8, 2020, the book was #9 in "Advice, How-To & Miscellaneous".[45] In USA Today's "Top 150 Weekly Best Sellers", The World of Critical Role: The History Behind the Epic Fantasy debuted at #37 on October 29, 2020.[46] James Grebey, for SyFy Wire, wrote: "In addition to recounting Critical Role's early days (although not a full history — longtime Critters will probably be unsurprised to know that controversial moments like original castmember Orion Acaba's exit are largely glossed over), The World of Critical Role offers insights into why the cast made their characters make certain decisions during iconic moments from the campaigns, and it explains how the real-life biographies of the cast influenced their character creation."[47]

In August 2023, Critical Role released a cookbook, titled Exquisite Exandria: The Official Cookbook of Critical Role (2023), written by Marsham with recipe contributions by Jesse Szewczyk, Susan Vu, and Amanda Yee.[48][49] It was #5 on Publishers Weekly's "Best-selling Books Week of September 3, 2023" in "Hardcover Nonfiction".[50][51] In USA Today's "Top 150 Weekly Best Sellers", the cookbook debuted at #25 on September 6, 2023.[52][53] In The New York Times Best Seller list for September 17, 2023, the cookbook was #7 in "Advice, How-To & Miscellaneous".[54]

Randy Gregory II, for Gaming Trend, opined that it was the "best themed cookbook" he has read and that the dishes of Exquisite Exandria are carefully curated to "feel correct within their respective regions of Exandria" and grounded in the fictional geographic lore with "a level of seriousness" seen in "fancy cultural cookbooks that dive into the specific regions".[55] He wrote that the "recipes are written exceptionally well thanks to Liz Marsham and her staff of recipe writers and food stylists" and that "everything in the recipes is represented in both imperial units and grams, along with notes for alternative/optional ingredients".[55] Andrew Stretch of TechRaptor called Exquisite Exandria "a really good cookbook" with a wide range of recipes.[56] Stretch felt that the fictional continental history and food origins was "more like reading a Dungeons & Dragons sourcebook".[56] He commented that "one of the only somewhat frustrating aspects" of the cookbook is the organization of food by fictional continent so "when you're looking for a certain recipe, it could be anywhere".[56]

Comics edit

Geek & Sundry produced a six-panel series of webcomics weekly from November to December 2015 that describes a "Winter's Crest Festival" that occurred pre-series. The webcomics were written by cast members Ray and Jaffe, and feature artwork by Wendy Sullivan Green.[57]

Each book has a different creative team and was released as a hardcover.[80][81] In December 2021, Dark Horse announced that many of the titles in the series would have a delayed release date due to a mixture of circumstances.[82] An omnibus – titled Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins Library Edition Volume 1 – collecting the Jester Lavorre, Caleb Widogast, Yasha Nydoorin, and Nott the Brave stories is scheduled to be released in September 2023.[83][84]

Licensed collectibles edit

In 2019, Critical Role announced it had "entered into licensing agreements with Funko, McFarlane Toys, Penguin Random House, and Ripple Junction".[109]

Funko Pop! edit

In fall 2020, Funko Pop figures based on the main Vox Machina characters were released.[110][111] Christian Hoffer, for ComicBook.com, wrote, "The figures should delight any Critical Role fan, with small nods and touches to Vox Machina's long history. [...] Funko previously released a special 'Vex on Broom' figure earlier this summer that was made available only at Best Buy and quickly sold out [...]. These new figures are the first 'mass release' Funko Pop! figures and should be hot sellers".[111] Gavin Sheehan, for Bleeding Cool, wrote, "Overall, the Critical Role set is a mighty fine one. There are times we look at Funko figures and we see that they basically just took the design skin of something, [...] and just slapped that design on the standard figure and walked away without any attention to detail. On each of these you can see they worked with the cast to make sure they were as accurate as they could make them within the Funko design. Detailed enough for fans to appreciate, which makes them well worth the money spent on whichever ones you decide to get".[110]

McFarlane Toys edit

In July 2020, a 12-inch action figure of Mollymauk Tealeaf from McFarlane Toys was released.[112][113] CBR highlighted that the figure is a limited-edition.[112]

Licensed miniature figures edit

Steamforged Games edit

In July 2018, Steamforged Games (SFG) raised approximately $1.2M in a Kickstarter campaign for a collection of licensed miniature figures based on player characters (PCs) and non-player characters (NPCs) from the first two Critical Role campaigns.[114] The Kickstarter campaign included miniatures of both Vox Machina and the Mighty Nein, and exclusive miniatures of Taryon Darrington, Doty, Pumat Prime, and three Pumat Sols.[115] Because Caduceus was not part of the Mighty Nein until after the SFG Kickstarter campaign finished he is not included in the Mighty Nein set of figures.[116]

In a February 2019 update, backers were informed that the expected March 2019 fulfilment date would be missed, as quality control samples had failed to meet both SFG's and the Critical Role cast's standards.[117] The miniatures began shipping to backers June 2019.[118] The line was added to various online and hobby stores shortly after,[119][120] but has since been discontinued.[121]

A Caduceus miniature was announced as part of SFG's continuing "Vault" line of Critical Role miniature figures in July 2019.[116] The Vault line are limited edition figures, which are produced in resin at lower volumes than the PVC figures in the Kickstarter campaign.[122][120] A new Caduceus miniature was released in October 2020.[123] This new design is also produced by SFG. Unlike their previous Caduceus miniature from SFG's Vault line; this version has been produced in PVC, and is not stated to be limited edition.

WizKids edit

In January 2021, Critical Role announced a partnership with WizKids to create Wildemount themed miniatures. The announced boxsets are: Monsters of Wildemount Set I, Monsters of Wildemount Set II, Monsters of Wildemount Udaak premium figure, Factions of Wildemount – Dwendalian Empire, Factions of Wildemount – Kryn Dynasty & Xhorhas, Factions of Wildemount – Clovis Concord & Menagerie Coast.[124][125][126] WizKids stated that the initial boxsets would be released in Spring 2021 at local game stores worldwide.[127][128][129] WizKids has since released additional boxsets such as Guests of Critical Role,[130] NPCs of Tal' Dorei Set I & II,[131] NPCs of Wildemount,[132] and Bells Hells.[133] Upcoming boxsets scheduled to be released in 2023 include Monsters of Wildemount Set III,[134][135] Vox Machina,[136] and The Mighty Nein.[137]

Tabletop games edit

Campaign setting books edit

Main articles: Critical Role: Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn, and Explorer's Guide to Wildemount

On August 8, 2016, Green Ronin Publishing announced that it had signed a licensing agreement with Geek & Sundry to release a roleplaying game sourcebook series set in the world of Exandria, written by Mercer and based on the Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition rules via the Wizards of the Coast Open Game License.[138][139]: 143  Only one book was published with Green Ronin—Critical Role: Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting—and it is set on the continent of Tal'Dorei where most of Vox Machina's adventures take place.[140] The hardback edition was released at Gen Con 2017 on August 17, 2017,[141] while the PDF version was released on July 17, 2017.[142][143] The book is now out of print[144] — a revised edition, titled Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn,[145] was released by Darrington Press on January 18, 2022.[146] Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn was the Gold Winner for the 2022 ENNIE Awards in the "Best Setting" category.[147][148]

On January 13, 2020, Wizards of the Coast and Critical Role announced the launch of the second book: Explorer's Guide to Wildemount.[149] The campaign sourcebook was released on March 17, 2020.[150][151] Over the course of two years, Mercer collaborated with Wizards of the Coast to develop the sourcebook which includes a new source of magic, Dunamancy, that is featured in the second campaign.[152][153][154]

Roleplaying modules edit

In March 2020, Critical Role released a special one-shot episode to promote the release of Doom Eternal.[155] The special was adapted and published as a tie-in Dungeons & Dragons module entitled Assault on Amaros Station. The game was written by Christopher Lockey and Matthew Mercer, and received a digital release via the Critical Role store on December 16, 2020.[156]

On October 12, 2021, Wizards of the Coast and Critical Role announced a new adventure module titled Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep with Mercer, James Haeck and Chris Perkins as lead designers. It is scheduled to be released on March 15, 2022. The adventure starts in the Wastes of Xhorhas before players head to the city of Ank'Harel (on the continent of Marquet);[157][158] from there, players will be drawn into the Netherdeep "a terrifying cross between the Far Realm and the deep ocean".[157]

Other games edit

A licensing agreement with The Op to produce Critical Role themed games was announced in March 2020.[159][160] Two 1000 piece puzzles were then released in fall 2020; the puzzles are themed around each campaign's respective party and feature art by fan artist Lauren Walsh.[160][161][162] In March 2021, a Critical Role themed version of Munchkin was released. Cass Marshall, for Polygon, wrote, "Munchkin: Critical Role keeps the general structure of the core game, with plenty of room for back-and-forth card exchanges and battles, but it is otherwise very much a Critical Role adaptation that stands alone as its own game".[163] William Cennamo, for Screen Rant, wrote, "fans of Critical Role will get quite a kick out of playing as their favorite characters from the show, and the simplistic gameplay style of Munchkin makes for an easy starting point into more modern board and card games. However, fans of Munchkin that are looking for something new and fresh may be disappointed by the simplistic reskin of every other Munchkin version out there".[164]

Video games edit

A Critical Role video game is currently in early development.[165] In addition, Critical Role characters have appeared in the following titles:

  • Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire (2018), an RPG developed by Obsidian, received a free DLC entitled Critical Role Pack. The set was released on the launch day for the main game, and added additional character voices and portraits. The set corresponds with eight characters from the first campaign, making up the bulk of Vox Machina, and are voiced by the original cast.[166][167][168][169]

Additionally, Mercer's "How do you want to do this?" catchphrase was added as a voice line to Cassidy – the character Mercer is the voice actor for – in the season five battle pass of the video game Overwatch 2 in 2023.[170]

Subsidiaries edit

Darrington Press edit

Main article: Darrington Press

In October 2020, Critical Role announced a "new board and card game" imprint called Darrington Press; it is led by Ivan Van Norman with Mercer as the creative advisor.[171] Van Norman has stated: "At this time, Darrington Press is not looking to utilize crowdfunding for any game releases".[172] Games will be set both inside and outside of the Exandria setting.[171][173] The imprint's first "State of the Press" in April 2023 released updates on both previously announced games and revealed new games in development; this included two new roleplaying game systems which are scheduled to have a public play test during Gen Con 2023.[174][175][176]

Scanlan Shorthalt Music edit

everything in the recipes is represented in both imperial units and grams along with notes for alternative optional ingredients 55 Andrew Stretch of TechRaptor called Exquisite Exandria a really good cookbook with a wide range of recipes 56 Stretch felt that the fictional continental history and food origins was more like reading a Dungeons amp Dragons sourcebook 56 He commented that one of the

look at Funko figures and we see that they basically just took the design skin of something and just slapped that design on the standard figure and walked away without any attention to detail On each of these you can see they worked with the cast to make sure they were as accurate as they could make them within the Funko design Detailed enough for fans to appreciate which makes them well worth the money spent on whichever ones you decide to get 110 McFarlane Toys edit In July 2020 a 12 inch action figure of Mollymauk Tealeaf from McFarlane Toys was released 112 113 CBR highlighted that the figure is a limited edition 112 Licensed miniature figures editSteamforged Games edit In July 2018 Steamforged Games SFG raised approximately 1 2M in a Kickstarter campaign for a collection of

and the Mighty Nein and exclusive miniatures of Taryon Darrington Doty Pumat Prime and three Pumat Sols 115 Because Caduceus was not part of the Mighty Nein until after the SFG Kickstarter campaign finished he is not included in the Mighty Nein set of figures 116 In a February 2019 update backers were informed that the expected March 2019 fulfilment date would be missed as quality control

keeps the general structure of the core game with plenty of room for back and forth card exchanges and battles but it is otherwise very much a Critical Role adaptation that stands alone as its own game 163 William Cennamo for Screen Rant wrote fans of Critical Role will get quite a kick out of playing as their favorite characters from the show and the simplistic gameplay style of Munchkin makes for an easy starting point into more modern board and card games However fans of Munchkin that are looking for something new and fresh may be disappointed by the simplistic reskin of every other Munchkin version out there 164 Video games editA Critical Role video game is currently in early development 165 In addition Critical Role characters have appeared in the following titles Pillars of
