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 recent episode ending on a significant cliffhanger. The exact number of episodes remaining is unknown, but the end of this campaign is imminent, potentially paving the way for a new campaign utilizing the Daggerheart TTRPG system.
The January 9th episode was canceled due to the emergency situation. Several cast and crew members were directly affected. Matt Mercer and Marisha Ray were forced to evacuate, while Dani Carr was close to the fires but is safe. Sadly, producer Kyle Shire lost his home and belongings but escaped safely with his pets. Other cast members have shared updates confirming their safety.
Although Critical Role aims to resume streaming on January 16th on Beacon and Twitch, additional delays are understandable given the ongoing situation. Fans are encouraged to be patient and support those affected by the wildfires.
The Critical Role Foundation, supported by community donations, is contributing $30,000 to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund to aid those impacted by the fires. The response from Critical Role and its community embodies the show's core message: "Don't forget to love each other."
