Critical Role's The Mighty Nein Reveals First Look, Season 1 to Air on November 19th

The Mighty Nein will come to Prime Video in November. Alongside news that The Legend of Vox Machina would be picked up for a fifth season, Prime Video also revealed a first look at The Mighty Nein animated series and announced that the show would start airing on November 19th. You can check out a "sneak peek" of the season down below, which features six of The Mighty Nein's seven characters being interrogated after an incident at a traveling circus.


The Mighty Nein will star Critical Role's founding cast members (Matt Mercer, Marisha Ray, Liam O'Brien, Travis Willingham, Taliesin Jaffe, Laura Bailey, Ashley Johnson, and Sam Riegel) and will feature a group of misfit heroes swept up into the political intrigue of two feuding nations. While The Legend of Vox Machina is a prototypical heroic quest, The Mighty Nein's heroes are much more reluctant and face much more personal threats over the course of their adventures.

I think so far it was their best . Matt does some dodging and weaving to keep it on the tracks
Very x machina reminds see me a lot of early d&d where coronal swords and rings of invisibility where common. I prefer a little less power gaming

They were also coming from Pathfinder where magic items are seemingly more common than in 5E.

Yeah, it was modeled on D&D 3.X, which was the "golf bag of magic swords" edition.

Jester! Jester! Jester!

Not sure I'm digging this as much as Vox Machina. It might just be the trailer, but this comes across as a comedy.

Really? Feels to me like quite similar in tone to Vox Machina, which has a lot of comedy like that. The original material is from what I've seen more on the darker side than Vox Machina. (I only have seen parts of CR campaigns, don't have time for that weekly unedited 4 hours)

Both series are comedies… Or, at least, feature a lot of comedy, along with action and drama. I mean, they’re adaptations of live-performed D&D campaigns. Of course they’re going to feature a lot of comedy, much of it pretty juvenile. Comes with the territory.

Jester is an absolute menace... I've missed her.

Been too long since I've watched Campaign 2.

Still funny that Jester was to be a Warlock but another player already created one so shes a cleric. She's so Warlock coded it's hilarious.

I don't watch Critical Role (I just can't get into watching actual plays), but I've enjoyed the Vox Machina cartoon so I'm looking forward to this.

I was confused about that for literal years.
