Is Vox Machina based on Critical Role?

Yes, "The Legend of Vox Machina" is directly based on Critical Role's first campaign, which follows the adventures of the Vox Machina adventuring party. This campaign was played and streamed by a group of professional voice actors led by Dungeon Master Matthew Mercer, and it became a sensation among tabletop RPG and fantasy fans. Due to its immense popularity and a record-breaking Kickstarter campaign, Critical Role partnered with Amazon Prime Video to produce the animated series.

The show expands on key moments, providing both fans and newcomers with a fresh yet faithful adaptation. If you're interested in experiencing the origins of Vox Machina, watching Critical Role's Campaign 1 is highly recommended.
