What is Critical Role?

Critical Role is a group of nerdy-ass voice actors who sit around and play Dungeons & Dragons.

Streams every Thursday at 7pm PT and then rebroadcasts the following Friday at 12am and 9am PT on Twitch.

State of the Role VoD

Greetings, Critters!

First things first, thank you so much for your patience while we’ve been slowly but surely bouncing back into our new normal after recent wildfires hit close to home.

Over the past several months, our creative team has been working tirelessly to map out all of the wonderful content that we will have in store for you after C3 concludes.

Upcoming Schedule

Freaky Thursday Bells Hells Charity One-Shot

  • January 30th at 7pm Pacific

Featuring our beloved Campaign 3 characters, here’s what our dope ass Game Master, Matthew Mercer, has planned for you:

Two Elemental Royals have made a wager: Are modern mortal “heroes” as resilient and courageous as those of legend? Hearing of the recent, wild exploits of Bells Hells, these two entities pluck the troupe from Exandria and force a series of challenges to test their skills, wit, and ability… all while the Elementals subtly manipulate the odds between Order and Chaos to serve their bet. Weird magics weave throughout the realm, as onlookers from across the realms alter the dangers mid-contest, rending the battlefield or even swapping souls between the players! Can Bells Hells survive this series of clashes, and does either Order or Chaos truly carve the path of a hero?

For our non-canon one-shot, there are two different ways that your donations can shape our game and even more ways that you can help us raise money for an important cause that’s close to home for us.

Campaign 3 Tale Gate

  • February 6th LIVE at 6pm Pacific

10 years, 3 campaigns, and hundreds of episodes. An epic for the ages deserves an epic final stream! Join our founding cast, friends, and crew for a special LIVE celebratory pre-show leading into our Bells Hells finale. Bring all of your questions, comments, and feels to the chat, as we hang out together & answer your questions!

Bells Hells Campaign 3 Finale

  • February 6th at 7pm Pacific

Fair warning, dear Critters – we have crushed our previous livestream record as our finale episode of Bells Hells clocks in at over eight hours. Buckle in, grab some snacks, water, and your friends, and let’s see how 10 years of cumulative storytelling will meet its EPIC conclusion!

Fireside Chat with Matthew Mercer

  • February 11th at 7pm Pacific

We’re sure that you’ll have some immediate questions after the finale, so Matthew Mercer will be hosting a special fireside chat for Beacon members to address any lingering threads from our Bells Hells campaign.

Exandria Unlimited: Divergence Premiere

  • February 13th at 7pm Pacific

Exandria Unlimited: Divergence is a four-week miniseries that will pick up the pieces in the wake of Calamity. As the Prime Deities construct the Divine Gate, join us as the mortals of Exandria rebuild their shattered world and learn to live without the Gods walking among them.

Our cast includes Matthew Mercer, Liam O’Brien, Jasmine Don, Alex Ward, and Celia Rose Gooding, and will be Game Mastered by the incomparable Brennan Lee Mulligan.

Exandria Wrap-Up

  • March 13th at 7pm Pacific

We’ll cover questions and topics from all three of our main campaigns (Vox Machina, Mighty Nein, and Bells Hells) as well as each of our Exandria Unlimited installments, and any other pieces of lore and worldbuilding from our novels, game materials, and anything else that’s helped us all explore and fall in love with Exandria over the past 10 years. Questions will be taken from Beacon members (Keep an eye out – question submission is coming soon!)


It’s an inexplicable honor to be able to have the opportunity to create this world and tell these stories together for the past ten years. You are a huge part of the motivation to do what we do and we are stronger because of your support.

We’re already hard at work creating the next thing that will drop on our content channels and will have another update for you in the coming months.

The finale is 8.5 hours long! Really curious to know how many people are able to sit through both the tailgate and the full show when it airs.

[–] Ultragramps@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

I will try knowing that I will fail. If they did two rebroadcasts of the finale like other episodes, that's 25.5 hours of Critical Role. An entire day. So we can put up that statistic now.
