Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Dive deep into the history of the world's most popular fantasy RPG livestream with the cast of Critical Role in this definitive guide.
From its unassuming beginnings as a casual home game between friends to the role-playing phenomenon it is today, Critical Role has become the stuff of legend. This audiobook chronicles how a circle of friends who all happen to be talented voice actors built the most-watched tabletop role-playing livestream of all time.
Discover richly written insights into the locations, characters and adventures featured in the hundreds of episodes across Critical Role's two campaigns, Vox Machina and the Mighty Nein. Go behind the scenes with exclusive interviews with Dungeon Master Matt Mercer and the entire Critical Role cast as they explore their characters' most triumphant moments and darkest hours. And celebrate the massive community of Critters who support and expand the show's world through a highlighted tour of the crafts, cosplay and art they create every day.
Featuring a foreword from Felicia Day and the inside story you won't find anywhere else, this audiobook is your indispensable guide to Critical Role.
The adventure begins!

Lots of new trivia to learn and a great listen!
Mary Elizabeth did a wonderful job reading this. a couple of strange pronunciations sometimes (I swear thats not how you say Cadeusus), and a couple of errors (Percy and Vax got married?) but all in all her performance was 100% all the way through.
The book itself was full of wonderful information about both campaigns and even a long time fan like me learned so much. It was a wonderful companion for the long car journeys I had to make recently. Deffo recommended.

For new and old critters
Started listening to it to feel closer to a friend of mine who loved D&D. Never listened to the sessions before, so the amount of names was confusing at first, but the book is so well written that I got very into it. Gives you the essence of their games and community. Perhaps some things were a bit of a spoiler, but I am moving on to listening to their games anyway!

Enjoyable narration
Mary has an excellent talent for narrating in the voices of the Cast, I could hear them through her words. Nice overview of Critical Role, which brings back memories of watching episodes years ago.

good book about CR, just a little annoying, that Mary can't pronounce most of the names of people and city's especially the names of VM and M9 but good book otherwise 🙂👍

Critical Role: Required reading!
Awesome and really in depth. I’ve been a critter since campaign one and I learned A LOT from this audiobook. Really enjoyable and relentlessly positive, this gives a thorough grounding in all things CR related. Is it Thursday yet? : D

Natural 20!
Simply a fascinating peek behind the curtain of Critical Role, its reach, its story and so much more. Mary Elizabeth McGlynn is simply phenomenal in bringing this to life! A must for any fan.

Trip down memory lane!
This is a fantastic look back through the history of critical role. There are a few insights into things we didn't get to see but most of them are in the hardback book. I have purchased both as I have more time to listen than read. It was nice hearing Mary narrate this rather than someone disconnected too.
I would recommend getting the book as there are snippits into the home game that you might not have seen before.
All round nice read for critters! Even more amazing now knowing what else they have accomplished!
