Critical Role's animated show (originally funded by a $10M crowdfunding campaign which broke $1M in under an hour, and then picked up by Amazon for 2 seasons) launches on 4th February 2022. You can now see a preview.
They had an (allegedly) mutual separation of which the exact details have never been publicly shared. We know he had a drug problem. We also know he (in some people's estimation) displayed a variety of behaviors in game, on stream that many would find problematic, including general powergaming, main-character syndrome, suspiciously good rolls, and some off-color remarks that others in the group seemed to not appreciate, but what, if any, of this in front of the cameras behavior may have contributed to him leaving the group and what else happened behind the scenes is unknown to us. Naturally observers trying to speculate as to what exactly happened try to parse the on-screen "drama" but that may be virtually the whole story or just the tip of the iceberg. And much of the on-screen "drama" is very much in the eye of the beholder.What was the whole deal with Orion? Is there a bit of internal drama that I missed?
Think of Amazon as a $10 per month streaming service (with a 1 year commitment) that gives you all sorts of crazy perks, like free shipping!
EDIT: And, you'll also get The Wheel of Time, The Expanse, The Lord of the Rings . . . . .

But on the downside, it's, y'know, Amazon. If there's some alternative legal way to check out the series in the future, I'll look into that.
Understandable. On the balance, Amazon isn't exactly a responsible corporate citizen.Not to derail the thread, but I'm really not comfortable giving money to Amazon themselves (nor to the likes of Disney either). They aren't exactly... the best company, ya know.
Truly. I personally hope, it will be released as BluRay real soon (or at least at SOME point).It is a shame that it is with Amazon...
That was my first response, trying to get into Campaign 1, also. For some reason, I cgave the second campaign a try and loved it. I think my problem with C1 was that when it started streaming, they were all already level 8 and had a lot of history between the characters already - made it hard for me to get into. Campaign 2 started up with the merging of a couple subgroups into one adventuring party, which made it easier to get into - if I recall right, C2E1 they had just dinged to level 2I’ve tried to get into Critical Role, but I just can’t. I figured when the animated series came out, I took take another stab at it. But based on this clip, I just don’t think it’s gonna be my thing.
But I’m happy for their success and I hope for all good things for this series and all D&D-related ventures!
