Where to start with Critical Role if you love The Legend of Vox Machina

Critical Role can be intimidating to get into, but it doesn’t have to be.

Though The Legend of Vox Machina was created with Critical Role fans in mind, it’s certainly easy for newcomers to pick up and love just the same.

Since it’s debut on Amazon Prime in 2022, many more fans have been able to enjoy the story of Vox Machina in glorious animated form. And yet, it’s fair to want more of the world, lore, and characters that Dungeon Master Matthew Mercer and the Critical Role cast have lovingly created.

It’s no secret, however, that Critical Role is a lengthy show to watch, let alone catch up on after its inception on Twitch in 2015. There are a lot of entry points into the show, but which one is the right one for you? Let’s take a look at the best ways to start watching Critical Role if you want to get your fix after The Legend of Vox Machina.

Rejoice, Critical Role fans, for your prayers have been answered!

On Wednesday, Amazon Studios announced a multiyear TV and first-look film deal with Critical Role, the media company behind the popular actual play Dungeons & Dragons web series. The deal comes fresh off the heels of the success of The Legend of Vox Machina, an animated series based off of Critical Role‘s first streamed campaign.

And now, Critical Role‘s animated offerings are set to grow, as Amazon also has greenlit a new series, Mighty Nein, based off of the show’s second campaign that ran from 2018 to 2021. The Critical Role team released a tantalizing teaser on Twitter to announce the news.

For many fans, Critical Role‘s second campaign featuring the Mighty Nein was their first introduction to the show and, as such, it holds a special place in their hearts. As a long-time Critical Role fan myself, given how much attention and care The Legend of Vox Machina has gotten, I cannot wait to see what the team has in store for this lovable group of misfits.

Critical Role fans were absolutely thrilled with the news of a Mighty Nein animated series.
