If you’re a fan of Dungeons & Dragons, then chances are you either watch or know about Critical Role, a group of voice actors who have been livestreaming their DnD games together since 2016 across three campaigns, with a fourth just starting.
And now Critical Role has begun to turn their campaigns into full animated series, which is honestly the dream. First, with The Legend of Vox Machina, which is based on their first campaign, and now with The Mighty Nein, based on their second.
So, to celebrate the premiere of The Mighty Nein on Prime Video, we invited the Critical Role cast — Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, Ashley Johnson, Marisha Ray, Liam O’Brien, Sam Riegel, and Taliesin Jaffe — to compete in a friendly game of Cast Wars to see who knows the most about their campaigns, characters, and more.
And let’s just say, things got so competitive between this group of best friends once the teams were set and the questions were being asked. Like, Liam fully stormed off at one point, LOL.
We tested their knowledge on Campaign 2, which introduced fans to The Mighty Nein, like does Laura know how many times Jester cast Cure Wounds throughout the main campaign? Because, you know, she is “THE cleric.”
They also had to guess which Critical Role ship they think has the most fanfiction written about it on AO3.
And we got a little tricky with some of the questions, like can they actually spell Percy’s full name?!
The whole thing was so hilariously chaotic that it’s become a comfort video of mine now. You can watch Critical Role’s full Cast Wars video below:
