Due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, Critical Role has postponed this week's episode of Campaign 3. The impact on the cast, crew, and community has necessitated this delay. While a return on January 16th is hoped for, further postponements are possible.
Campaign 3 is nearing its thrilling conclusion, with the episode count for the finale yet to be determined. The previous episode ended on a significant cliffhanger, leaving fans eager for resolution. The possibility of a new campaign using the Daggerheart TTRPG system is also on the horizon.
The January 9th episode was canceled due to the wildfire's direct impact. Matt Mercer and Marisha Ray were forced to evacuate, while Dani Carr was directly affected by the fires but is safe. Producer Kyle Shire unfortunately lost his home and belongings, but he and his pets escaped safely. Other cast members have shared updates confirming their safety.
While a one-week delay is the current plan, further postponements remain a possibility. The Critical Role community is urged to be patient and offer support to those affected. The Critical Role Foundation is actively contributing, donating $30,000 to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund. The situation underscores the show's motto: "Don't forget to love each other."
