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 postponement. While a return on January 16th is hoped for, further delays are possible.
Campaign 3 is nearing its climactic finale, with the episode count remaining uncertain. The previous episode ended on a significant cliffhanger, leaving viewers eager for the resolution. The possibility of a new campaign using the Daggerheart TTRPG system is also on the horizon.
The January 9th episode was canceled due to the wildfires' direct impact on the team. Matt Mercer and Marisha Ray were forced to evacuate, while Dani Carr was directly affected by the fires but is safe. Sadly, producer Kyle Shire lost his home and belongings, though he and his pets escaped unharmed. Other cast members have shared updates confirming their safety.
Although a one-week delay is planned, further postponements are understandable given the ongoing situation. Fans are encouraged to be patient and offer support to those affected.
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 commitment of both the cast and the community to the motto, "Don't forget to love each other."
