Critical Role’s Third Campaign Ends Tonight

Critical Role‘s epic campaigns are not exactly bite-sized. In all the years they’ve been doing this, there have been only three: Vox Machina, Mighty Nein and Bells Hells, though all of them take place within the same world (Exandria). These storylines take over three years to complete and a true finale comes along about as often as the Olympics.

So the fact that Bells Hells is ending TONIGHT is kind of a big deal, and Critical Role knows it…they plan to be up for eight hours starting at 7 PM Pacific / 10 PM Eastern. They’re gonna end this campaign if it kills them…or if they fall asleep first. But with proper doses of caffeine they should be fine.

You might want to get there early: there will be a live”Tale Gate Party” at 6 PM PT where the cast will answer questions, share their thoughts on the journey, and celebrate with the community. “This finale for Campaign 3 marks the end of one very epic chapter of Exandrian history,” said Marisha Ray, Creative Director, cast member and co-founder of Critical Role. “But while we celebrate the end of this chapter, I think it’s important to know that the story continues with a simple turn of the page. I’m very excited to see what happens next in this story that remains to be written by the incredible emergent storytellers who are picking up the pen.”

After this, there are typically breaks of a few months between major campaigns. You may have to wait a bit to find out which roles our actors will be stepping into next, but in the meantime, expect filler arcs like Exandria Unlimited: Divergence, a four-part saga that delves into one of Exandria’s most pivotal moments, the departure of the Prime Deities in the wake of the Calamity. It’ll star Matthew Mercer, Liam O’Brien, Jasmine Don, Alex Ward, and Celia Rose Gooding, with Brennan Lee Mulligan (yes, he’s from Dimension 20…no competition or rivalry here) serving as Game Master.

You can watch any Critical Role event through three venues: their membership service Beacon (beacon.tv), the CR Twitch channel (twitch.tv/criticalrole) and their YouTube page (youtube.com/criticalrole).
