Critical Role's Campaign 3 takes an unscheduled break this week due to the devastating impact of the Los Angeles wildfires. The finale of Campaign 3 is fast approaching, with the exact episode count remaining uncertain. However, the upcoming conclusion is anticipated soon, potentially followed by a new campaign using the Daggerheart TTRPG system.
The January 9th episode was canceled due to the wildfires' direct impact on the cast, crew, and community. While a return on January 16th is hoped for, further delays are possible as the situation evolves. The recent episode ended on a significant cliffhanger, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the resolution.
Several cast and crew members experienced firsthand the effects of the fires. Matt Mercer and Marisha Ray were forced to evacuate, while Dani Carr was caught in the heart of the fire but is now safe. Sadly, producer Kyle Shire lost his home and possessions, though he and his pets escaped unharmed. Other cast members have shared messages of relief and support on social media.
Despite aiming for a one-week hiatus, continued delays are a possibility. The Critical Role community is encouraged to be patient and offer assistance to those affected by the wildfires.
Reflecting the show's core values, Critical Role, through its foundation, is contributing $30,000 to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund to aid those impacted by the disaster. The situation underscores the show's motto: "Don't forget to love each other."
