The folks behind longrunning Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role are raising funds on Kickstarter to turn the series’ hit first campaign into an animated special.
The campaign, which went live this morning, had a goal of $750,000. It’s already raised $2.6 million at time of posting, with 45 days of funding to go.
Critical Role started off as an ongoing tabletop role-play campaign run by voice actor Matt Mercer and produced by Felicia Day’s Geek & Sundry. It followed a group of heroes collectively known as Vox Machina. Characters in the game were played by Mercer’s friends and fellow voice actors: Ashley Johnson, Marisha Ray, Taliesin Jaffe, Travis Willingham, Sam Riegel, Laura Bailey, and Liam O'Brien. Mercer and friends first broadcast the series on YouTube, where they gathered 350,000 subscribers and built a large cross-platform fanbase that saw Critical Role become the No. 1 web series on Tumblr last year.
