Back in July of last year, Dungeons & Dragons livestream megafranchise Critical Role<\/a> announced that it’d be working with AdHoc to make its very own video game<\/a> based in Exandria\u2014having already partnered with the company in the past to bring the very solid superhero management sim, Dispatch, to life.<\/p>\n

It’s a gambit I always knew would be coming down the pipeline<\/a>, given how tremendously and immediately-wellfunded the studio’s Amazon Prime series is\u2014but it’s gone from likely inevitability to actual reality in the past few years, with CEO (and current nama paladin) Travis Willingham celebrating the crystallisation of that dream back in 2024<\/a>. <\/p>\n

And judging by Laura Bailey’s words in a recent episode of Mythical Kitchen’s Last Meals<\/a>, that project’s coming along swimmingly. Bailey, who currently plays the pixie rogue Thimble (as well as Jester Lavorre and Vex’ahlia in past campaigns) tells Josh Scherer that while she’s gotta keep things close to her chest, the project’s moving and shaking. Which isn’t just me paraphrasing:<\/p>\n

“Things are shakin’<\/em>, they’re movin’, they’re shakin’, I can’t say anything else other than that,” Bailey says, though she does give us a morsel more info: “There’s a lot of work being done and a lot of talks happening, and a lot of fun things I get to look at\u2014and I can’t say anything else.”<\/p>\n

And hey, listen\u2014it’s a crumb, but there’s a lot of difference between announcing you’ll be making a videogame and the actual pre-production (or even early production) process gaining steam. <\/p>\n
