Critical Role Is Heading to Middle-earth With a Big Lord of the Rings Collaboration

As much as we all love Critical Role’s long, multi-episode adventures, the cast has also delivered plenty of Dungeons & Dragons and Daggerheart one-shots. While some have proven controversial (who can forget the Wendy collaboration?), several sponsored one-shots have also been incredibly fun to watch, like Control: Resonant and even Suikoden.

Beyond the shorter viewing commitment, these one-shots often shake up how the Critical Role cast plays by adapting the setting to D&D mechanics, which generally suit high fantasy better.

However, Critters won't have to worry about whether D&D gameplay suits this next one-shot, as Critical Role will be collaborating with a familiar setting: The Lord of the Rings' Middle-Earth.

Fans attending TwitchCon San-Diego this November are in for a treat: a new Critical Role x Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power collaboration.

Taking place on Nov. 15 in the Glitch Theater at 11AM, The Rings of Power: A Middle-Earth One-Shot will feature the Critical Role and Prime Video's The Rings of Power cast in a new tabletop adventure. Critical Role co-founder Liam O’Brien, best known for playing Vax in the animated adaptation of Campaign 1, The Legend of Vox Machina, will lead the one-shot.

So far, it hasn't been confirmed whether the one-shot will use the D&D system or Critical Role’s own TTRPG, Daggerheart . Some collaborations, such as the Overwatch one-shot , have used Daggerheart , while others have used D&D. There is also a small chance that the one-shot could use the ruleset of The One Ring , the successful TTRPG set in Tolkien's Middle-earth.
