Critical Role's Campaign 3 takes a temporary pause this week due to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. The impact on the cast, crew, and community has necessitated the cancellation of the January 9th episode. While a return is planned for January 16th, further delays remain a possibility.
Campaign 3 is nearing its dramatic conclusion, leaving viewers on a cliffhanger after a pivotal episode. The exact episode count remaining is unknown, but the finale is imminent, potentially paving the way for a new campaign using Critical Role's Daggerheart TTRPG system.
The wildfires have directly affected several key members of the Critical Role team. Matt Mercer and Marisha Ray were forced to evacuate, while Dani Carr narrowly avoided the worst of the fires. Tragically, producer Kyle Shire lost his home and belongings. The community is rallying around those affected, sharing updates and expressing relief at their safety.
Although a one-week delay is the current plan, patience is urged as the situation unfolds. In the spirit of community support, the Critical Role Foundation is contributing $30,000 to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund to aid those impacted by the disaster. This act of generosity underscores Critical Role's commitment to its motto: "Don't forget to love each other."
