Critical Role Halts Campaign 3 Finale Amidst Wildfires

Critical Role's Campaign 3 takes a temporary pause due to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. This week's episode, originally scheduled for January 9th, is canceled as the fires have directly impacted cast, crew, and the wider community. While a return on January 16th is hoped for, further delays are possible depending on the evolving situation.

Campaign 3 is nearing its highly anticipated finale, leaving viewers on a thrilling cliffhanger after a pivotal episode. The exact episode count remaining is uncertain, but the conclusion is imminent, potentially paving the way for a new campaign utilizing Critical Role's Daggerheart TTRPG system.

The January 9th cancellation was announced due to the immediate impact on the team. Matt Mercer and Marisha Ray were forced to evacuate, while Dani Carr narrowly escaped harm. Tragically, producer Kyle Shire lost his home, though he and his pets are safe. Other cast members have shared updates confirming their safety.

While a one-week delay is the current plan, patience is urged from fans as the situation develops. In the spirit of community support, the Critical Role Foundation is contributing $30,000 to the California Community Foundation's Wildfire Recovery Fund to aid those affected by the fires, reflecting the show's core message of compassion and mutual support.
