Due to knowing what comes next there aren’t many huge surprises in the narrative, but as I watched this with new viewers I can say that it’s a pretty good primer for setting the stage for the real story. Those who are familiar with the stream will find some stuff to enjoy here, seeing the team in a way we’ve not had them before. It also helps to set the group up as the heroes that they will become, getting them allies within the rulers of the kingdom, and giving them their own home base. Each member of Vox Machina gets the chance to do something here, to prove themselves useful both in and out of battle, and you get a good sense of the basic personalities in play. This plot takes up the first two episodes of the series, and helps to introduce new viewers to the world and the characters. With little else to do, and running low on funds, Vox Machina agree to investigate mysterious attacks that have been plaguing small settlements.
Luckily for them, King Uriel (Khary Payton) has called for help from any adventurers that are willing to step forward. They begin drinking, getting in bar fights, and worrying about where their next pay-cheque will be coming from.

The series picks up in a place long before the stream, where the heroes of Vox Machina are still nobodies. So, after years of watching, after a long Kickstarter campaign, and a big wait, fans finally have the chance to see their heroes take to the screen in The Legend of Vox Machina. Thanks to fan donations the series was fully funded, and picked up by Amazon Prime, who also financed an additional 14 episodes for a second season.
Thanks to the popularity of the show, the team announced plans to adapt their first campaign into an animated series, and invited their fans to help finance this via Kickstarter.

Thanks to their background in voice acting the game had a rich focus on character led narratives, with the players enjoying the personal drama and role-playing as much as the combat. The game, which originally started two years before the stream as a private one-shot that grew out of hand, consisted of Matthew Mercer as the DM and Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham as players.
#VOX MACHINA TRANSLATION PROFESSIONAL#
Whilst there are hundreds of RPG streams to choose from today, with it seeming like every other home game trying to make it big in an ever increasing market, what immediately set Critical Role apart from competitors was that the cast were made up from professional voice actors. If you’re someone who plays Dungeons and Dragons, or any other TTRPG, there’s a pretty good chance that you’ve heard about the DnD live stream series Critical Role, which began life in 2015 on the Geek and Sundry network.
