Due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, Critical Role has postponed this week's episode of Campaign 3. The impact on the cast, crew, and community has necessitated this delay. While a return on January 16th is hoped for, further postponements remain a possibility.
Campaign 3 is nearing its thrilling conclusion, with the episode count for the remaining installments currently unconfirmed. The previous episode ended on a significant cliffhanger, leaving fans eager for resolution. The possibility of a subsequent campaign utilizing the Daggerheart TTRPG system is also anticipated.
The January 9th stream was canceled due to the emergency situation. Several cast and crew members were directly affected by the fires. Matt Mercer and Marisha Ray had to evacuate quickly, while Dani Carr was thankfully unharmed. Sadly, producer Kyle Shire lost his home and belongings, though he and his pets escaped safely. Other cast members have shared updates confirming their safety.
Although Critical Role aims to resume streaming on January 16th, additional delays are understandable given the ongoing situation. The Critical Role community is encouraged to be patient and offer support to those impacted.
In line with this, the Critical Role Foundation is contributing $30,000 to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund. This demonstrates the show's commitment to its community, reflecting their motto: "Don't forget to love each other."
