Critical Role's Campaign 3 takes an unscheduled break due to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. This week's episode (January 9th) is canceled, impacting the cast, crew, and community. While a return on January 16th is hoped for, further delays are possible given the ongoing situation.
Campaign 3's climactic finale is fast approaching, with the episode count remaining uncertain. The previous episode ended on a significant cliffhanger, leaving fans eager for resolution. The possibility of a new campaign using the Daggerheart TTRPG system is also on the horizon.
The wildfires have directly affected several key 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 and belongings. The remaining cast members have shared updates confirming their safety.
Despite aiming for a swift return to streaming, patience is urged from the fanbase (Critters). 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 by the disaster. The situation underscores the show's core message: "Don't forget to love each other."
