But that's not all - a synopsis of the early, unbroadcast adventures of the crazy Machine Voice adventuring party (did they really mean Vox Ex Machina?) isn't enough for the rabid fans. Implausibly, their ridiculously niche netcast becomes so popular that they can fill actual theatres for episodes with a paying public audience, sell mountains of merchandise and drown in unsolicited fan art contributions, the best of which end up in a printed book. But those adventures took place in private for over a year before they were persuaded to go public by Queen of the Nerds, Felica Day herself. They call the show Critical Role and their group of disparate and sometimes desperate adventurers Vox Machina because they like bad puns. Imagine, if you will, '.a bunch of.nerdy-ass voice actors sit around and play Dungeons & Dragons.' Live. I arrogantly hereby suggest that it should be. (I was going to say “I eat humble pie cocksurely,” but apparently “cocksurely” isn’t a word. I even eat humble pie in a cocksure manner. *I should note that I don’t, in fact, do anything humbly. Looking forward to a deeper dive into the CR universe! And, I humbly* suggest that those who dig this book will also enjoy The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple (not to mention the forthcoming Heloise-starrer THE PART ABOUT THE DRAGON WAS (MOSTLY) TRUE, coming in December 2020 from Parliament House Press-mark your calendars, friends). Still, this is my brand of fantasy-high adventure meets urban hijinks with comedic shenanigans thrown in for good measure.įans of Jim Zub’s D&D comics will eat this up. Sure, it’s a typical, RPG-inspired fantasy set-up: disparate, diverse, self-interested characters unite in common cause before deciding to band together on a more permanent basis to seek adventure, accumulate treasure, and right the wrongs. That said, this is a delightfully fun introduction to the CR characters.

Feel free to deliver any spankings, shin kicks, or wedgies you feel are warranted for my being a bad D&D nerd.

I shame-facedly confess that I’m not as familiar with Critical Role as I would like to be, and I fully intend to remedy that in the coming year. Published by Dark Horse Books, a division of Dark Horse Comics, Inc.
