Read our previous updates and original story for more information on the Kickstarter campaign and planned series. We love them all,' Riegel said.Ĭritical Role's Kickstart campaign began as a pitch for an animated special based on the characters of Vox Machina, who the Critical Role cast played in their first live-streamed D&D campaign. The fact that they were all there watching live when this goal was collectively achieved, is so meaningful and special.

They’ve given us constant support, surprised us with their generosity, and encouraged us to pursue our wildest dreams. 'The fans, the critters, have meant everything to us. Riegel told IGN a bit about the experience of hitting the last stretch goal in the middle of this week's episode of Critical Role, saying the cast shared a champagne toast during the episode's intermission and 'promised each other we wouldn't screw it up.' The show was already going to be great, but now it will truly be epic.' And now that we have 10 episodes guaranteed, we’re thrilled that we get to share a complete story, the entire arc, with a mass audience. 'It’s something that will live on, we hope, long after we’re done with our twitch show.

We already get to share our stories with the world every Thursday night, but making an animated season is somehow different. 'A full, 10-episode season is such a massive thing - truly beyond our wildest expectations. 'Even though we've known we’ll be making several episodes for a few weeks now, crossing that last stretch goal finally made us realize that this is really happening,' animated series and Critical Role cast member Sam Riegel told IGN via email. Additionally, the stretch goal means the group of voice actors who comprise Critical Role will play a one-shot campaign DM'ed by The Last of Us' Ashley Johnson, a regular member of the group.
