Critical Role has announced the cancellation of this week's episode of Campaign 3, set for January 9, due to the devastating fires in Los Angeles. The fires have directly affected the cast, crew, and the broader community of the beloved Dungeons and Dragons actual play stream. The team is hoping to resume streaming on January 16, but fans should remain patient as the situation may require further delays in the conclusion of this gripping Dungeons and Dragons saga.
As Campaign 3 nears its thrilling finale, the tension is palpable. The last episode left fans on a gripping cliffhanger, with Bells Hells confronting their most formidable challenge yet, and the fate of one of their members hanging in the balance. While the exact number of episodes left in this captivating story remains uncertain, it's evident that Critical Role is gearing up to wrap up their third campaign soon. There's also buzz about the potential launch of a new campaign using their innovative Daggerheart TTRPG system.
Unfortunately, the resolution of Campaign 3 will have to wait a bit longer. The fires in Los Angeles have forced the cancellation of the January 9 stream, pushing episode 119 back to January 16. The catastrophe has deeply affected many members of the Critical Role team. Dungeon Master and voice actor Matt Mercer, along with his wife and fellow cast member Marisha Ray, had to evacuate at short notice, taking only their dog Omar with them. Loremaster Dani Carr was in the midst of the fires but reported being safe in her latest update. Tragically, Critical Role producer Kyle Shire lost his home and personal belongings to the blaze, though he and his pets managed to escape to safety. The rest of the cast have been actively sharing updates and relief posts on social media, confirming their safety amidst the chaos.
While the intention is to return to streaming on Beacon and Twitch after just a week's hiatus, further delays are possible as the situation develops. The Critter community is encouraged to remain patient and offer support to those affected by the fires.
In response to the crisis, Critical Role is taking action. Thanks to generous donations from their community, the Critical Role Foundation is contributing $30,000 to the California Community Foundation's Wildfire Recovery Fund. This initiative will provide much-needed assistance to those impacted by the fires. As Los Angeles continues to recover from this disaster, both the cast of Critical Role and their dedicated fans are embodying the show's heartfelt motto: "Don't forget to love each other."
