No one knows these characters better than their actors, who developed their individual styles, mannerisms and narrative arcs over the course of years of role playing sessions. All eight also serve as executive producers on the series.

The original Critical Role core cast (minus Orion Acaba) returns with Dungeon Master Matthew Mercer as villain Sylas Briarwood plus Laura Bailey, Ashley Johnson, Taliesin Jaffe, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel and Travis Willingham reprising their roles as Vex, Pike, Percy, Vax, Keyleth, Scanlan and Grog, respectively. The release of all three at once simultaneously scratches a burning itch on the part of fans eager to see Critical Role’s arch-villains, and gives the set-up new viewers need to get invested in the story. Episodes 1 and 2 function as an original stand-alone prequel arc called “The Terror of Tal’Dorei,” with Episode 3: “The Feast of Realms” starting off the beloved Briarwood arc from the web series. There is no wasted time in these three episodes: narrative threads are spinning out faster than the golden line that connects the characters in the title sequence.

RELATED: Critical Role's The Legend Of Vox Machina Trailer Droppedįollowing the adventures of a mercenary crew consisting of half-giant Grog, gnome healer/holy person Pike, half-elf ranger Vex and her rogue twin brother Vax, gunslinger and lone human in the group Percy, Ashari druid Keyleth, and the aforementioned Scanlan, the series gives just as much time in every episode to character and plot development as it allows for balls-to-the-wall fight sequences. No surprise: the creative minds behind Critical Role, all working voice actors with prestigious game and animation credits behind them, are deep in their element here. With just the first three episodes available today on Amazon Prime Video, the series is already shaping up to be a beloved fantasy series independent of Dungeons and Dragons.īased on the extremely popular Dungeons and Dragons liveplay Critical Role, The Legend of Vox Machina consists of the strongest elements of the original web series (cool plot, unique characters, and all-star voice actors) successfully translated to animation. With the other party members (and a portrait of a naked fantasy creature) arranged behind him in a superhero-style tableau, no one line in Amazon Studios’ new fantasy animated series The Legend of Vox Machina summarizes the fly by the seat of their pants mercenary group Vox Machina more succinctly. “We’re Vox Machina, we f*** s*** up!” shouts Scanlan Shorthalt, a gnome bard whose small stature belies his large sexual appetite.
