The short trailer showed off the set of Critical Role littered with merchandise, miniatures, and props from the Mighty Nein’s second campaign actual play stream. The camera pans around the set as characters from the party recite some of their most iconic and memorable quotes. The trailer ends on a shot of the Mighty Nein pilot screenplay, which then fades to their party logo with the player characters silhouetted in the background.
Critical Role is a popular Dungeons and Dragons actual play stream composed of famous voice actors. The stream became so popular that Critical Role became an independent company of its own, featuring official and third-party Dungeons and Dragons products, a non-profit foundation, and other products like board games, comics, and books. Now, Mighty Nein joins The Legend of Vox Machina as Critical Role’s second animated series.
Players are ecstatic to see the Mighty Nein make the jump to animation. The Legend of Vox Machina has been an excellent translation of the popular actual play campaign, and fans can’t wait to see the second story get the same treatment. Though Vox Machina established Critical Role as a major stream, the Mighty Nein elevated it to new levels of popularity. Many players were introduced to Critical Role through the Mighty Nein, so this new series may be even more popular than the first.
The Legend of Vox Machina Season 2 is airing now. Mighty Nein is in development.
