After building an audience of more than 3.5 million viewers across YouTube and Twitch, Critical Role is hoping some of those folks will follow it off those platforms to its new subscription service, Beacon.
But hold on—if you’re thinking this is a repeat of Watcher‘s recent stumble, CritRole CEO and cast member Travis Willingham is quick to reassure that Beacon isn’t a way for Critical Role to paywall its ongoing content.
“Now, I’m sure many of you are asking, ‘Wait, what does this mean for Twitch and YouTube subscribers?'” he said in Beacon’s announcement video (embedded below). “And the answer is: nothing. Nothing changes for those audiences in how you view our main shows. You will still be able to watch and listen freely, with the same release schedule that it has always been for nine, going on ten years.”

It’s not just video games that dominate the digital airwaves on platforms like Twitch — there’s a huge contingent of viewers who yearn for the old days of pen and paper, with tabletop RPGs making a huge splash virtually in the last few years. In fact, once-niche games like Dungeons & Dragons (which turns 50 this year) have taken on new life in the age of livestreaming, and more popular than ever.

Creator Clash 2 delivered a night of big punches, grudge matches, technical knockouts, and compelling camaraderie. In the headline fight, Alex Wassabi eked out a victory over Creator Clash organizer Ian “iDubbbz” Jomha.
The main card bout between Wassabi and Jomha went the full four rounds. Two judges ruled in Wassabi’s favor, while the third scored the fight as a draw. The YouTube star is now 1-0 as a professional, while Jomha’s boxing record fell to 0-2. At the inaugural Creator Clash, the man behind the Content Cop series took a main card loss against medical creator Doctor Mike.
As with last year’s Creator Clash, the 2023 event raised money for fighter-selected charities while also uplifting the influencer boxing trend as a whole.

Michelle Khare and Andrea Botez are ready to rumble.
They—along with more than 20 other creators—will duke it out during Creator Clash 2, the sequel to last year’s much-watched influencer boxing event.
Botez, who’s 20, is a chess pro and full-time creator with more than a million subscribers on YouTube and a million followers on Twitch. She’s won the U8 Girls Canadian Youth Chess Championship, the Susan Polgar National Open, and in 2015 was named women’s chess champion by the British Columbia Chess Federation.
Khare, who’s 30, has 3.5 million subscribers on YouTube and is known for her “challenge accepted” approach to content, where she’s tried everything from Marine bootcamp to runway modeling to training like an astronaut and joining the U.S.’s No. 1 cheer team.

On the surface, "The Legend of Vox Machina" is the perfect fit for an animated series. Take the first season of the hugely successful actual play podcast "Critical Role," translate its fantastical story to the screen, bring in the show's crew of voice actors to play their characters, and pick the talented Studio Grackle (best known for contributing animation to the popular video game "Hades") to handle the opening credits. It's a slam dunk. Then you crunch the numbers. The first "Critical Role" campaign, on which "Vox Machina" is based, is 115 episodes and totals "about 400 hours," per player Travis Willingham in an interview with Inverse. By contrast, each season of "The Legend of Vox Machina" is 12 episodes long. An episode runs roughly 24 minutes.The recent release of the second season brings the runtime of the "Vox Machina" animated series to under 12 hours, less than three percent the total length of the first campaign.

“We did that! We did that, right?” The quote, from the first season of The Legend of Vox Machina, could sum up the character of Keyleth The Air Ashari (voiced by Marisha Ray) in a nutshell. Despite being powerful and determined, Keyleth is never one to bust into a situation with confidence and arrogance; in fact, her biggest struggle with herself and within the group known as Vox Machina is self-doubt and insecurity. We see it when the group defeats big dragons and monsters, being surprised that her spells and ideas actually worked. We see it when she tries to insert herself into friendly interactions, only to face awkwardness for not reading the room correctly. Keyleth’s anxieties — the crux of which, Ray revealed in an interview a few years ago, were somewhat related to her own personal feelings when she sat down to play Dungeons & Dragons with established...

Amazon has made a mighty embrace of the Critical Role cinematic universe.
Amazon Studios announced a multiyear exclusive overall TV and first-look film deal with Critical Role, the media company and D&d role-playing group behind Prime Video’s popular adult animation series “The Legend of Vox Machina.”
The first new series to be produced under the agreement is “Mighty Nein,” based on Critical Role’s second campaign, which ran from January 2018 to mid-2021. The Mighty Nein adventuring party — a band of criminals and misfits — are the only ones who can prevent the kingdom from plunging into chaos when an arcane artifact capable of reshaping reality falls into the wrong hands. “Mighty Nein” is set to begin production shortly in partnership with animation studio Titmouse, which has teamed with Critical Role and Amazon Studios for “Vox Machina.” The series will premiere exclusively on Prime Video, but there’s no release date as yet.

“The Legend of Vox Machina” Season 2 is putting a major emphasis on the “dragons” of Dungeons and Dragons.
The Prime Video series dropped an action-packed official trailer for Season 2, which begins rolling out on the streamer on Jan. 20. Like the first season, the follow-up will release three episodes per week, culminating in 12 episodes total.
Season 2 will follow the Chroma Conclave campaign from Critical Role’s popular Dungeons and Dragons web series. The heroes of Vox Machina will have to face a powerful group of dragons called the Chroma Conclave before they destroy the world of Exandria. And these aren’t your typical fire-breathing dragons — they spew ice and acid and have nearly impenetrable armor. To defeat these beasts, the Vox Machina heroes must find rare weapons powerful enough to kill gods. Or, as Grog the goliath suggests, they could just “fuck shit up.”

Prepare for more danger, more daggers, more cursed doors, and a lot of dragons when The Legend of Vox Machina returns for its second season in January 2023. Cast members Laura Bailey (Vex’ahlia “Vex” Vessar), Liam O’Brien (Vax’ildan “Vax” Vessar), Sam Riegel (Scanlan Shorthalt), Marisha Ray (Keyleth), Taliesin Jaffe (Percival “Percy” Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III), Travis Willingham (Grog Strongjaw), Ashley Johnson (Pike Trickfoot) and Matthew Mercer joined TV Insider in our New York Comic Con studio last month to tease what fans can look forward to in the highly anticipated upcoming season.

After three years in the works, Critical Role’s animated “The Legend of Vox Machina” finally lit up streaming screens on Prime Video last month — delighting fans with a raucous, foul-mouthed spree of action and adventure.
The show, based on Critical Role’s first Dungeons & Dragons campaign, is currently No. 3 on Prime Video’s Top 10 ranking in the U.S. (after action-thriller series “Reacher” and rom-com “I Want You Back”). It also has an impressive 100% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 93% audience score.
The first nine episodes of “Vox Machina” were released in three-episode batches over the past three weeks. The final three episodes in Season 1 drop Thursday (Feb. 17), leading into a 12-episode second season, whose premiere date is Tba.
So what’s next for the Critical Role crew? Right now, they’re in the midst of the Campaign 3 livestream, and they are in discussions with partners about a video game adaptation.

This article contains spoilers for the first six episodes of The Legend of Vox Machina.
There’s an old adage in tabletop roleplaying circles: no one is as interested in your character and campaign as you are. But the popularity of podcasts like Adventure Zone and Critical Role have revealed that with the right storytellers and cast, there’s a large audience eager to follow characters on their wacky adventures. Following a wildly successful, record breaking Kickstarter to fund an animated special, the Critical Role team expanded their initial idea from a short animated project to a full season, picked up by Amazon Prime Video.
Clearly, the fans of the podcast would follow the cast to the animated adaptation. But what about viewers who’d never listened to the extensive campaign? They might find some value in the venture as well…after a few episodes.

The Legend Of Vox MacHina is an animated fantasy adventure for adult viewers – especially those who groove on Dungeons and Dragons and similar forays into the realms of magical creatures with special powers clashing over their various kingdoms, planets, etc. I am not one of them, but still enjoyed the heck out the first six episodes of this new series on Amazon Prime.
A diverse little band of mercenaries who really can’t fully get along with each other, undertake quests for profit. Some of them are too bawdy for prime-time; the language is salty, and the action sequences can be pretty elaborate. There’s even a bit of nudity on the menu. If they have backstories from other media, I don’t know what it is, and fellow newbies won’t need it to dive right in. The first episode establishes the tone and defines the players quite nicely,...

That’s a huge time sink for the uninitiated, and it can be intimidating! Fortunately, now’s a great time to get started.
Last October, Critical Role returned from a hiatus with their third campaign set in Dm Matt Mercer’s homebrew world of Exandria. Where the first two campaigns explored the continents of Tal’dorei and Wildemount, this new one is set in Marquet.

On the evening of March 12, 2015, Critical Role had its first public showing. In a livestreamed event from a dimly lit studio in Burbank, eight players sat at a table immersed in a Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game for nearly three hours — their first foray in a form of storytelling that would bloom into an indie media empire, complete with an upcoming Amazon show.
Before C.R. began streaming shows on Twitch and YouTube, it started as a group of friends who knew each other from voice-over gigs in animation and video games playing D&d together. The first two sessions were at the L.A. apartment of Matthew Mercer, Critical Role’s long-standing dungeon master, and Marisha Ray, who is now the company’s creative director; they then moved to the house of Travis Willingham (now CEO) and Laura Bailey (who handles C.R.’s merchandise business). “It was an excuse to hang out together,...

Critical Role gave fans a first look at the character art for upcoming Amazon original animated series “The Legend of Vox Machina,” created by Emmy-winning artist, animator and designer Phil Bourassa.
Cr is producing “The Legend of Vox Machina,” based on the popular role-playing collective’s first campaign. In 2019 Amazon Prime Video ordered a total of 24 episodes across two seasons after the project broke Kickstarter records. The first season is slated to debut “soon” on Amazon Prime Video.
Bourassa’s credits include character designs for DC/Warner Bros. Animation’s “Young Justice,” “Batman: Bad Blood,” “Batman: Hush” and “Justice League” series.

The Critical Role gang has extended their Kickstarter-funded animated special from 22 minutes to 88 minutes thanks to overwhelming support from fans.
The Kickstarter, which originally asked for $750,000, has surpassed all of its stretch goals and brought in $4.5 million from 33,000 backers in a little over a day. Funding will go toward production of The Legend of Vox Machina, an adult animated prequel about the heroes of Critical Role's first Dungeons & Dragons campaign (collectively known as Vox Machina).
Critical Role is the brainchild of voice actor Matt Mercer and a number of friends and fellow voice actors. It was formerly produced by Felicia Day's Geek & Sundry, but recently split to self-produce. Mercer leads the campaign’s storylines as dungeon master, and for the Vox Machina campaign, Ashley Johnson, Marisha Ray, Taliesin Jaffe, Travis Willingham, Sam Riegel, Laura Bailey, and Liam O’Brien played the storyline's characters.

The folks behind longrunning Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role are raising funds on Kickstarter to turn the series’ hit first campaign into an animated special.
The campaign, which went live this morning, had a goal of $750,000. It’s already raised $2.6 million at time of posting, with 45 days of funding to go.
Critical Role started off as an ongoing tabletop role-play campaign run by voice actor Matt Mercer and produced by Felicia Day’s Geek & Sundry. It followed a group of heroes collectively known as Vox Machina. Characters in the game were played by Mercer’s friends and fellow voice actors: Ashley Johnson, Marisha Ray, Taliesin Jaffe, Travis Willingham, Sam Riegel, Laura Bailey, and Liam O'Brien. Mercer and friends first broadcast the series on YouTube, where they gathered 350,000 subscribers and built a large cross-platform fanbase that saw Critical Role become the No. 1 web series on Tumblr last year.

You might not be able to find a lot of information on Marisha Ray right away since she is a part of a scene that is not so well-hyped that you could find her easily in the mainstream. But with that being said she’s easy enough to find if you know how to access D&D and some of the other things she’s into. While there is a stereotype that says that very beautiful women don’t generally play RPG’s and get into the whole fantasy and science fiction lean you can toss that out the window since Marisha is the type

Celebrities… They’re just like us. Many of them grew up playing role-playing games, and even remain avid fans and participants to this day.

CelebriD&D puts D&D-playing celebrities into a small, mini-campaign where they are paired with some of the best role-players in the world.

After all these years, Dungeons & Dragons is still going strong.
Many celebrities are well known for playing Dungeons & Dragons, including Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodrigeuz, Whil Wheaton and even Blindspots’s Ashley Johnson.
Now many more celebrities will get their chance to wield a sword, to cast a spell, or rather to roll some dice.
The first episode of CelebriD&D has premiered this week with a 45-minute episode featuring Joe Manganiello (True Blood, Magic Mike Xxl), who admitted playing D&D since his childhood days.
He joins Geek & Sundry’s Critical Role cast members Matthew Mercer, Marisha Ray, Taliesin Jaffe, along with Nerdist’s Dan Casey and Jessica Chobot in this exciting battle between good and evil.
Manganiello plays Arkhan “The Cruel” in this D&D game. Ironically, he is a paladin and a worshipper of Tiamat. So fitting of him.

At long last, the first episode for the new fan webseries "Batgirl: Spoiled" has arrived.
The 11-minute-long video gives just a taste of the rest of the "Batgirl: Spoiled" world. After being introduced to Stephanie Brown, we see the Batgirl quickly bite off much more than she can chew when she tries to stop two men from stealing a car. This webseries promises at least one full season, but in this episode alone we meet Oracle, Penguin and Harley Quinn. We can't to see who else from the Batman mythology makes an appearance in this new series.
Sure, "Batgirl: Spoiled" isn't a Christopher Nolan project, but the fan-made show has a lot of promise. The choreography is pretty great for a webseries and it's nice to see that Brown has her time to shine. Of course, it doesn't look like she's doing too great at the end of episode one,...

A new trailer has arrived for the upcoming Batgirl: Spoiled web series starring Marisha Ray as Stephanie Brown and Taliesin Jaffe as The Riddler. Created by Damian Beurer, the web series is inspired by Bryan Q. Miller’s Batgirl series and follows the adventures of Stephanie Brown, the third Batgirl to patrol Gotham City. In addition to the title character, it appears that several other Bat-family members will be making appearances in the series, including Batwoman, The Question, Oracle, Jim Gordon and many more.
“After a close call leading to a falling out with Batman and Oracle, Batgirl goes out on her own to reexamine her place in Gotham and the world at large. Stephanie spends her days seeking advice from Gotham’s various heros, and her nights patrolling the streets in a seemingly endless battle against crime. All this while attending college, having a social life and finding time to sleep.

Well, sort of. Aaron and Sean Schoenke are the producers/directors of a series of fanmade short films that pits various superheroes from disparate franchises against one another. Basically, “The Deadliest Warrior” on a budget, but minus all those ridiculous comparisons like what would happen if a dude with a sword went up against a dude with a gun. Duh.
