The comic book, Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins, is an adaptation of the group's game before the show. The animated series adaptation, The Legend of Vox Machina, also adapts a canonic story that takes place within the pre-stream time frame.

Orion Acaba left Critical Role due to health reasons, although fans have speculated about other potential reasons for his departure. Acaba's behavior at the table, including frustrations with other players and arguments about the rules, caused tension and rubbed fans the wrong way.

Summary. Critical Role may consider leaving DnD 5e due to a number of factors with the game itself and its publisher. The company is developing its own TTRPG, Daggerheart, to possibly replace DnD. The potential release of DnD 5.5e in late 2024 could influence Critical Role's decision to switch systems.

The company faced management shifts, lawsuits, and many people leaving, leading to its defunct status. Despite its decline, Geek & Sundry left a lasting impact on geek culture and the resurgence of tabletop gaming. The company's influence can still be seen through events like International Tabletop Day.

The series is based on the first campaign of the Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role.
