The Legend of Vox Machina is a definitively adult animated series that expertly balances humor and action while remaining true to the beloved Critical Role storylines and characters on which it is based. Over the past seven years, the cast of Critical Role has delighted and entertained millions of fans with their antics around the gaming table. The web series stars a group of voice actors who play Dungeons & Dragons, a fantasy-themed tabletop roleplaying game. Critical Role started off as a home game between friends but eventually became a web juggernaut that helped revitalize Dungeons & Dragons and is now the top income-generating channel on Twitch. Critical Role is a massive success for several reasons – the world created by Dungeon Master Matt Mercer is deep and immersive with layers of mysteries and intrigue, the characters played by the rest of the cast are compelling and fully fleshed out, the camaraderie displayed at the table is palpable and heartening, and the show certainly knows how to sell itself with an ever-growing line of merchandise and tie-ins.
