Critical Role Mighty Nien heads to Amazon Prime!

[overgeeked]

that's.... a valid point. And a recurring joke during the game

It's also "nein," which is German for "no" rather than "nine" which is English for..."nine".

Critical Role's Mighty Nein Heads to Prime Video

Dungeons & Dragons actual play titan Critical Role has secured a massive deal with Amazon Studios to bring the Mighty Nein to animated life.

Holy. Balls.

Cannot wait for the chaos that is Jester to hit the screen. Oh...Molly. Long may he reign.

Here's to hoping the episodes are a bit less compact and we get a bit more breathing room to adapt more of the interplay into the cartoon.

Super excited. And interesting that their deal isn't just for TV projects, but also for film. Exandria Unlimited: Calamity would make for a great feature film length project.

 

[OakenHart]

This is welcome news. The 2nd campaign and its characters are frankly just more interesting than Vox Machina and that first campaign and I think makes for a better television adaptation, as much as I'm enjoying the current show (and enjoyed campaign 1).

Be fun seeing Dark Elves ripped right out of Mystara.

Thanks, I'm not a big critter, so I was unaware of that!

they use german as a reference for zemnian in the show.

"From a gameplay perspective, Exandrian languages sometimes reference real-world languages but do not have direct equivalents. Zemnian, spoken by Liam O'Brien's character Caleb Widogast, uses German as a reference language, though Matthew Mercer did not consider them equivalent.[1]"

Languages of Exandria

Many different languages are spoken across Exandria. Common is the most widely spoken among humanoids, though most races have a language associated with their people and some geographical locations have regional languages. Many creatures understand spoken language but do not speak themselves...

Zemnian is effectively German for reasons of Liam O’Brien wanted to play with the little bit of German he remembered from school

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I'm a much bigger fan of the Nein than Vox Machina (minus Percy and Grog).

I'm mostly super happy with this because it will make it much easier to get Jester, Fjord, Nott and Bo merch.

I agree with you.

Had no idea this was in the works. Should be fun. I watched the first series and enjoyed it.

MN is probably the best campaign they've done.

Haven't seen/listened to any of them, but might be like Ben Folds Five, which was a three man band.

It's a long-standing tradition to misnumber things. It goes back at least to the Battle of Thermopylae. 300 Spartans, my aunt Fanny!
