Major Production Halted Amid Wildfire Evacuations

Critical Role's Campaign 3 takes a one-week hiatus due to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. The impact on the cast, crew, and community has necessitated the cancellation of the January 9th episode. While a return 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 cliffhanger left viewers eager for resolution, but patience is requested as the team navigates the current circumstances. The possibility of a new campaign using the Daggerheart TTRPG system is also on the horizon.

The wildfires have directly affected several members of the Critical Role team. Matt Mercer and Marisha Ray were forced to evacuate, while Dani Carr narrowly avoided the worst of the fires. Sadly, producer Kyle Shire lost his home. The outpouring of support from the Critical Role community is evident, with many sharing updates and expressing relief.

Despite aiming for a quick return to streaming, further delays are understandable given the ongoing situation. The Critical Role Foundation, supported by community donations, is contributing $30,000 to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund to aid those affected. This action reflects the show's core message of community support and resilience.
