March 1, 2019 – Critical Role, the most popular tabletop roleplaying show in the world, has partnered with animation powerhouse Titmouse (Big Mouth, Venture Bros., Marvel’s Black Panther), launching a Kickstarter to make an epic animated special titled The Legend of Vox Machina, based on Critical Role’s hugely popular first campaign. To add another layer of pure awesome, Jennifer Muro (Spider-Man, Justice League Action, Star Wars Forces of Destiny) has signed on to help pen the project. This 22-minute (maybe longer!) adult action-comedy series will be created in the fantasy universe of — and starring characters from — Critical Role. It’s Guardians of the Galaxy meets Dungeons & Dragons.

The Legend of Vox Machina Synopsis
The Avengers are a mighty team. The X-men follow a brilliant leader, the Fantastic 4 are a tight family. Our heroes are NONE of those things. They’re seven loners, outcasts — a bunch of sh*thead sellswords and wands-for-hire who, while literally drunk, accidentally save the town’s ruler and are given their first “grown up” mission. A mission that forces them to live together and pits them against dangerous and legendary beasts — eventually transforming them into a band of adventurers called Vox Machina.
They will become heroes…. If they don’t murder each other first.
