Lese-Probe zu „The World of Critical Role “
ForewordThere is a bit of magic in our world sometimes. Not spell magic, although that would be amazing and sign me up for some fire-based powers, please but chemistry between people. The kind that is effortless and enrapturing, and that you can t stop watching. This is what Critical Role embodies for so many people. Including me.
My own discovery of the group was like most people s: Through word of mouth. At a party in 2014, my friend Ashley Johnson mentioned that she played D&D with other voiceover actors. Not only did I fall more in love with her after hearing that (she is so very lovable so that wasn t very hard) but I was hooked on the idea of watching her and her friends play. I never got that chance due to my all work, no fun nature at the time, but a year later, when I decided to start a Twitch channel with my former company Geek & Sundry, the first item I put on the brainstorm board was D&D Live. The first note I put under THAT was Email Ashley Johnson.
I still didn t get the chance to watch the group before they started playing on the channel. But hearing how entertaining they were from my employees who went to scout them convinced me they were perfect. I felt the work of kismet happening, and I knew in my gut that they would be the exact match needed for my grassroots style. Sight unseen. (Yes, I am a program first, ask questions later kind of gal.) The very first time I actually watched them perform was with thousands of other people when they premiered on the channel. As soon as I saw them on screen, having the best time together, I was dazzled and obsessed and knew in my heart they were going to change the world of role-playing. And boy, have they.
Many may wonder what makes Critical Role stand out from all the other role-playing groups in the world. Aside from the movie-star chemistry between seven genuine friends who can do ALL the voices, it has to be the charisma and creativity of RPG genius Matt Mercer.

The work of a DM is endless and complex and can seem completely overwhelming, but with Matt s deep geek knowledge, incredible abilities as a voice performer, and waving-wheat hair that a 70s model would envy, he is a total package. A unique unicorn. Who, I know personally, has a caring heart and authentic passion for the geek space. Most importantly, he s a leader who has set the tone for a fan family to flourish. And has helped gift the proud title of Critter to millions of people around the globe.
Critical Role s complete journey is held between the covers of this book, and it truly is a joy to read. Anything you d ever want to know about the group is right here. You won t be able to help but fall in love with the rags-to-riches story of a group of friends achieving colossal success through doing what they love. And you won t be able to help but laugh at some of the crazy anecdotes inside, especially Scanlan s. (The craziest of which you will have to watch online, they couldn t be put in print. To be clear, it s because they are so damned dirty.) Hopefully, you will be inspired by the group s enthusiasm, hard work, and dedication to each other. They are truly genuine, lovely people. By the end of reading these pages, anyone will be proud to call themselves a Critter. I know that I am.
