We don’t need to tell you how popular Critical Role is. Name another show that started as a group of friends playing Dungeons & Dragons that has spawned full-length animated series. (You maybe could, but Critical Role did it first.) It’s so much more than a show; it’s a gaming empire! Case in point, Darrington Press, Critical Role‘s publishing arm, has developed Daggerheart, a new, exceedingly flexible system akin to D&D, which fans have seen in action in various CR one-shots. But now you get to see it in action for eight whole episodes! The Daggerheart miniseries Age of Umbra is coming at the end of the month!
The eight-episode series, with Game Master Matt Mercer, will premiere May 29 on Critical Role with players Ashley Johnson, Laura Bailey, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, Taliesin Jaffe, and Travis Willingham. You know, the gang. The Session Zero episode will air on May 22.
About the Age of Umbra campaign, according to the official site.
Lethal and foreboding, the world of the Halcyon Domain is a world abandoned by gods, where souls of the dead are cursed and reborn into twisted, nightmarish forms. A dark, ethereal mass known as the Umbra roams and holds these fiendish monstrosities, further corrupting anything it touches. But flickers of hope remain—Sacred Pyres keep the Umbra at bay, with small communities enduring and surviving through cooperation. Out in the beyond, whispers speak of ancient secrets and powers, wonders of a lost age, ready for discovery to those brave enough (or foolish enough) to seek them.
Age of Umbra is a playable campaign frame designed by Matthew in the Daggerheart Core Set, but like any Daggerheart game, it is made anew through collaborative worldbuilding of the players and GM.

The 8 episode mini-series premieres Thursdays at 7pm starting May 29 on Beacon, Twitch, and YouTube, with a break week on July 3rd and the finale on July 24th. VODs on YouTube are available the Monday following the premiere. Podcast versions are available instantly and ad-free to Beacon subscribers, or in two parts anywhere podcasts are found: part 1 available the Thursday after the premiere, and part 2 the following Tuesday.
And as a reminder, you can watch all of the first two campaigns, along with dozens of other series, on Geek & Sundry right now.
