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 to streaming on January 16th is the current plan, further postponements remain a possibility.
Campaign 3 is nearing its thrilling conclusion, with the recent episode ending on a significant cliffhanger. The exact number of remaining episodes is unknown, but the end of this campaign is imminent, potentially followed by a new campaign using the Daggerheart TTRPG system.
The January 9th episode cancellation directly resulted from the wildfire's impact. Matt Mercer and Marisha Ray were forced to evacuate, while Dani Carr was directly affected by the fires. Sadly, producer Kyle Shire lost his home and belongings, though he and his pets escaped safely. Other cast members have also shared updates, confirming their safety.
While a one-week delay is the current plan, further delays are understandable given the ongoing situation. The Critical Role community is urged to be patient and offer support to those affected.
The Critical Role Foundation, supported by community donations, is contributing $30,000 to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund to aid victims. The response from both the cast and the Critters exemplifies the show's core message: "Don't forget to love each other."
