"Critical Role Delays Campaign 3 Finale Amid LA Fires"

Critical Role has announced the cancellation of this week's episode of Campaign 3, set for January 9, due to the devastating fires in Los Angeles. The fires have directly impacted the show's cast, crew, and community, causing significant disruptions. The team hopes to resume broadcasting on January 16, but fans are advised to remain patient as the situation may necessitate further delays in concluding the Dungeons and Dragons storyline.

As Campaign 3 nears its finale, the tension escalates with the previous episode leaving fans on a major cliffhanger. Bells Hells confront their most formidable adversary yet, with the possibility of losing one of their members. Although the exact number of remaining episodes is unknown, it's evident that Critical Role is approaching the end of its third campaign, potentially paving the way for a new adventure using their Daggerheart TTRPG system.

The impact of the fires has been felt deeply by the Critical Role team. Dungeon Master Matt Mercer and his wife, cast member Marisha Ray, were forced to evacuate with only their dog Omar. Loremaster Dani Carr was safe during her last update despite being in the midst of the fires. Tragically, producer Kyle Shire lost his home and personal belongings, though he and his pets escaped unharmed. Other cast members have been actively sharing relief efforts and updates on social media, confirming their safety amidst the crisis.

While the intention is to resume streaming on Beacon and Twitch after a week's hiatus, the ongoing situation may lead to additional delays. The community, known as Critters, is encouraged to remain patient and support those affected by the fires.

In response to the crisis, the Critical Role Foundation, with donations from the community, is contributing $30,000 to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund. This initiative aims to assist those impacted by the fires. As Los Angeles recovers from this disaster, both the cast and the Critters embody the show's ethos: "Don’t forget to love each other."
