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 temporary hiatus. While a return to streaming on January 16th is hoped for, further delays 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 yet to be determined, 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 cancellation directly resulted from the wildfire's impact. Matt Mercer and Marisha Ray were forced to evacuate, while Dani Carr narrowly escaped the immediate danger. Sadly, producer Kyle Shire lost his home and possessions, though he and his pets are safe. The remaining cast members have shared updates confirming their safety.
While a one-week delay is the current plan, continued disruptions are possible. Fans are encouraged to be patient and offer support to those affected by the fires. The Critical Role Foundation is actively contributing to wildfire relief efforts, donating $30,000 to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund. This demonstrates the community's commitment to the motto: "Don't forget to love each other."
