First Episode of The Mighty Nein Available Now on YouTube

The first episode of The Mighty Nein, a new animated series based on Critical Role's second campaign, is available for free on YouTube. Prime Video posted the episode on YouTube in the early morning today, providing fans and newcomers alike with a free preview of its series ahead of its launch next week.

While set in the same world as The Legend of Vox Machina, The Mighty Nein is a standalone series and requires no previous knowledge of either Critical Role or The Legend of Vox Machina to enjoy. The first few episodes of the new show serve as a prequel to the events of Campaign 2, providing more concrete origin stories and what the characters were up to ahead of the events of the first episode of the campaign.

You can check out the new episode below until November 16th.

After an explosion at the border, Wildemount is on the brink of War. Beauregard Lionett investigates the scene of an explosion, uncovering a sinister scheme lurking in the shadows. Meanwhile, Caleb Widogast teams up with an unlikely ally to break into a magical pet shop.

I really enjoyed this first episode. I may be subscribing again to Amazon Prime for separate reasons, but this would be a nice bonus. I only ever watched three or four episodes of the campaign and I'm feeling like I am getting a good explanaition of the story elements as we go.

Yeah, they are adding in a ton to provide framing and context. In the actual campaign, each player had built an elaborate backsfory and there was an elaborate game of "backstory reveal chicken" where eberyody wanted to be the last one who revealed their dramatic secrets. This is rolling out the inffashion in a far more orderly fashion.

I think it's interesting to show the Beacon but be mysterious about what it exactly does.

It costs $5.99/month to find out.
