About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

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 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 Felicia Day and the inside story you won't find anywhere else, this audiobook is your indispensable guide to Critical Role.

The adventure begins!

Great story of modern day entertainment

To have a story like this out there in the modern world is so positive. A truly remarkable story if vision and a can do attitude if you roll the dice.

CR in the raw

Have been a long time fan of their work and this doesn't disappoint. Once you get past some of the miss said names (let's be honest we have all been there with D&D names) it is a good in-depth look at CR as a whole. Though I think a little extra magic could have been added if the cast had read some of it but that is just me not getting enough of these nerds.

Great!

Excellent book that overviews so many things from cast to characters. I can't, however, get over MEMcG butchering Cad's name, and a number of other mispronounced words. He's not Ca-douche-us. It's disappointing hearing it mispronounced from someone who is so close to the cast and CR.
