From Wikipedia: "Critical Role is an American web series in which a group of professional voice actors play Dungeons & Dragons. The show started streaming partway through the cast's first campaign in March 2015. Campaign one ended in October 2017 after 115 episodes, and campaign two started in January 2018 and ended in June 2021 after 141 episodes. A number of one-shots were aired in the hiatus between the two campaigns. After campaign two was completed, the limited series Exandria Unlimited aired from June 2021 to August 2021. The third campaign premiered on October 21, 2021."
On setting Calamity during an apocalypse, Brennan says, "If your only question is 'does the Calamity happen or not?' that's a different series. The question here is 'What is the nature of mortal beings when faced with this?' There are different — and, in my opinion, more interesting — questions to be answered here than 'does the doom come or no?'"
