And what has kept fans loyal, plus had a slew of new followers of the years, is their ability to bring a wicked sense of humour into a fully fleshed out and well-structured fantasy world. For over a decade now, a group of actors, fantasy fans and friends have been live streaming their campaigns within Dungeons and Dragons to a very passionate and ever growing fanbase. While season 2 will also feature darker storylines for Grog and other characters, the D&D connection with The Legend of Vox Machina keeps it engaging and helps keep some light in the narrative.As someone who has never played Dungeons and Dragons (and not for lack of interest, more so that I’ve never had a proper introduction to the widely popular role-playing game), the notoriety of Critical Role was within my pop-cultural zeitgeist, but very much so on the outskirts. The D&D ties prevent deus ex machinas for The Legend of Vox Machina, instead making each challenge a puzzle that viewers can work through alongside each of the characters. Still, the strict D&D magic system clarifies what each magical character, including Pike, Vex, and Keyleth, can do at any given moment. Magic systems struggle for realism where the rules are confusing, and the powers appear to be without limit.

The fact that the show was originally based on a D&D campaign also allows it to establish limitations.

While The Legend of Vox Machina also features epic fights with dragons, more than just dragons ties it to D&D. The idea of the archetypal noble Cleric, kind-hearted and unintelligent Barbarian, lusty Bard, and gloomy Rogue are essential parts of D&D lore, which is part of what has driven viewers to the show. Without D&D, their powers might be different, their natures different, and the many D&D Easter eggs would be stripped clean, which removes some of the charm from the show. D&D is more than just the inspiration for The Legend of Vox Machina It is also the basis of the world of Exandria, the origin of their powers, and the limitations of the entire universe.
