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 temporary hiatus. While a return to streaming on January 16th is hoped for, further delays remain a possibility.
Campaign 3 is nearing its climactic finale, with the episode count remaining uncertain. The recent episode ended on a significant cliffhanger, leaving viewers eager for resolution. The conclusion of Campaign 3 is imminent, potentially paving the way for a new campaign utilizing the Daggerheart TTRPG system.
The January 9th stream cancellation directly resulted from the wildfires. Several cast and crew members were personally affected. Matt Mercer and Marisha Ray were forced to evacuate, while Dani Carr narrowly escaped harm. Tragically, producer Kyle Shire lost his home and belongings. The Critical Role community has expressed relief at the safety of those affected, and offers support where possible.
Although a one-week delay is the current plan, additional postponements are possible given the ongoing situation. Fans are encouraged to be patient and offer support to those impacted by the fires.
The Critical Role Foundation, supported by community donations, is contributing $30,000 to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund. This exemplifies the show's core message: "Don't forget to love each other," a sentiment deeply resonating during this challenging time.
