Publisher's Summary

Dive deep into the history of the world’s most popular fantasy RPG livestream with the cast of Critical Role in this definitive guide. 

From its unassuming beginnings as a casual home game between friends to the role-playing phenomenon it is today, Critical Role has become the stuff of legend. This audiobook chronicles how a circle of friends who all happen to be talented voice actors built the most-watched tabletop role-playing livestream of all time. 

Discover richly written insights into the locations, characters, and adventures featured in the hundreds of episodes across Critical Role’s two campaigns, Vox Machina and the Mighty Nein. Go behind the scenes with archival photos and exclusive interviews with Dungeon Master Matt Mercer and the entire Critical Role cast as they explore their characters’ most triumphant moments and darkest hours. And celebrate the massive community of Critters who support and expand the show’s world through a highlighted tour of the crafts, cosplay, and art they create every day. 

Featuring a foreword from the cast and the inside story you won’t find anywhere else, this audiobook is your indispensable guide to Critical Role. The adventure begins!

Fairly Interesting

If you are entirely new to the experience that is Critical Role; this is a fascinating journey into the history of its production and some of the stories that set it apart.
However, I don’t believe that it added anything to the existing scope of information that already exists for it.
The audiobook is wonderfully narrated, but the amount of mispronunciation is somewhat off putting.

Did not finish

My dudes. If your going to do the audio form if a show that is available please learn to pronounce it. It shouldn’t have so many mispronunciations

I love Critical Role and I love Mary

But the word errors every other sentence is distracting and kinda off putting. I was also kinda hoping that the cast would do their own quotes and stories as well.

The adventure begins....

A wonderful telling of the history of the phenomenon of Critical Role. Mary Elizabeth puts the same love she has for the cast into the reading. Highly recommend for Critters and Non alike!
