As the name of the one-shot suggests, the adventure will feature audience participation as fans can vote on certain elements that will be included in the adventure by donating to Critical Role’s Tiltify page. The polls are open now, with fans able to choose everything from the class that the cast members will play as to the type of monster they’ll encounter.ย
Previous Red Nose Day Specials have featured the participation of Stephen Colbert. However, Hale has a connection with Critical Role, having voiced a character in The Legend of Vox Machina and also having made a brief cameo appearance during one of Critical Role’s infamous pre-game ad reads. Interestingly, this marks the first time that the Red Day Special has called out a specific location within Critical Role canon by name. This adventure will take place in the Shattered Teeth, the one area of Critical Role’s world of Exandria that hasn’t been explored in great detail.ย
What Is Critical Role?
Critical Role is a popular streaming show in which a group of voice actors play Dungeons & Dragons. The show started on Geek & Sundry back in 2015 but eventually spun off to become its own media empire, complete with comics, books, animated series, and tie-in merchandise.
