![]() Seeing the stories and characters from our first campaign come to life in The Legend of Vox Machina was a dream realized, and we are absolutely buzzing with excitement to do it again with Mighty Nein. Travis Willingham, co-founder, and CEO of Critical Role said in a statement: "Critical Role's livestream campaigns are the spark that lit the flame for our worldwide audience. They will also develop projects both "in and outside of the Critical Role universe" as part of their first look deal. Chris Prynoski ( The Legend of Vox Machina), Shannon Prynoski ( Fairfax), Antonio Canobbio ( Arlo the Alligator Boy), and Ben Kalina ( Big Mouth) at Titmouse will also executive produce.Ĭritical Role will produce the series under its production banner Metapigeon, which is where all their other original television shows, films, and other content will be developed. Mighty Nein is an animated adaptation of Critical Role's second campaign, and it will go into production soon, and it’s being produced by Tasha Huo, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham alongside Critical Role's Metapigeon banner and Amazon Studios. But if tensions are still high over the prospective changes, this deal provides nothing but good news for fans of Critical Role, Vox Machina, and adult animation.Critical Role and Amazon Studios have announced that they will continue to work together with a new multi-year TV and film deal, and that came along with the news that they are also developing a Mighty Nein series. The group attempted to thread the needle with a “we support both sides” statement they hoped would please fans without alienating Wizards of the Coast and their associated services, like D&D Beyond, who are frequent sponsors of CR’s campaigns. The announcement may help soothe angry fans who aren’t pleased with the less-than-firm statement put out by Critical Role around Wizard’s of the Coast’s potential changes to the Open Game License that allows third parties to develop their own games around the D&D system. Future Gofundme campaigns seem unnecessary, given the millions Critical Role earns every year and the financial resources Amazon can provide. In addition to the new series to be animated by Titmouse, Critical Role will develop new and original TV series and films under a multi-year “exclusive overall television and first look deal” with Amazon. A 3-season animated storyline seems likely for the Mighty Nein as well. ![]() It took place several decades after the events of TLoVM, and 8 years before the ongoing third campaign, Hells Bells. It kept up momentum through hundreds of hours of play despite an overabundance of pathos and the occasional character death, usually due to Keg’s (Ashly Burch) ineptitude. Throughout the course of the campaign, the Mighty Nein fought slavers, dragons, and eventually a Lovecraftian horror out of time and space. The Mighty Nein was a “motley group of assholes” so named because Liam O’Brien gave his character, the mage Caleb Widogast, a Germanic accent, and the party kept rolling 9s. ![]() The story was the second major campaign of the Critical Role Twitch channel and podcast, and boasted the return of the entire cast plus a number of guest stars including Ashly Burch ( Mythic Quest, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Khary Payton ( Teen Titans, Teen Titans Go!, Invincible), and Deborah Ann Woll ( Daredevil, True Blood). Home to the highly-rated The Legend of Vox Machina, 3 episodes into its second season with a third already announced, Prime Video will also get a Mighty Nein series. ![]() Amazon’s business partnership with Critical Role continues to be profitable, as demonstrated by a newly announced expansion of the partnership between the two companies.
