I just want to talk for a second about how proud and pleased I am that the CR crew is getting to become a fully fledged development studio. Like, creating their own stuff yeah, but also producing new content wholly unconnected. Getting shopped scripts and getting to support new and small-time writers, animation studios. Creating development initiatives and helping broaden and diversify the ttrpg, actual play, and animation genres. Helping support other ttrpg groups. There are *so* many opportunities and doors open to them with this deal, and I'm so excited to see what else comes out of their company.

there's gonna be one (1) slow motion glam shot of Molly's coat (with added sparkles) and for the rest of the show it's gonna be flat purple with some squiggly lines. and I for my part think the animation team has earned that

Metapigeon and Critical Role Acquires the Semi-Improvised Audio Drama Series MIDST

Metapigeon and Critical Role Acquires the Semi-Improvised Audio Drama Series MIDST #MIDST #CriticalRole #TabletopGames #podcasts #AudioDrama

If you’re a fan of narrative podcasts and dramas, then today is your lucky day! Tech Raptor has announced that Critical Role’s developmental and production company Metapigeon has acquired the narrative podcast called MIDST. Now, you might be asking yourself, What is MIDST? Midst is a semi-improvised audio drama that already has two seasons under its belt, with a third one already on the way.…

Okay but, if the Assembly actually does have some idea of what Ludinus is up to, probably to varying degrees, but cannot act, and they've essentially turned a blind eye to Caleb's activities of hunting down amoral criminal mages and possibly run some interference on his behalf particularly with regard to Ludinus.......

Nonzero chance that someone (Astrid) has in fact covered tracks for Caleb's wanted criminal mage boyfriend who would be VERY easy for Ludinus to exploit as blackmail, and is being SO chill and collected and professional about it.

In other words, workplace dramedy-turned-spy thriller surrounding the last year of the Cerberus Assembly WHEN.

[encyclopediacr]

We're called Encyclopedia Exandria, but did you know that we also cover Midst?

Our scope as a wiki is everything related to Critical Role Productions, and Midst has belonged to that fold ever since it came under the wing of Metapigeon.

We have a family of articles covering Midst, including a glossary, timeline, individual episode articles, and character articles. We even have an article for Midst: Address Unknown ready for August and are working to expand coverage into other subjects.

As with everything at Encyclopedia Exandria, our resources are limited, but we're doing our best to cover Midst and to update, correct, and expand our coverage where and when we can. If you'd like to help with the upkeep of our Midst articles (or any of our articles), whether it's as small as a typo correction or as big as a weekly update, you are always welcome—it would be very Valorous of you!

Today Critical Role's development and production company, Metapigeon, has announced the acquisition of the narrative podcast Midst. Midst is a semi-improvised audio drama that already has two seasons under its belt with a third on the way. While Critical Role has expanded multiple times in recent years into their publishing branch Darrington Press, creating board games such as Uk'otoa and Till The Last Gasp, and into animation with the first two seasons of The Legends of Vox Machina available to stream on Amazon Prime this is the first time that Critical Role has purchased an existing entertainment IP and brought it under their umbrella. The first three remastered episodes will release for free via Critical Role's YouTube channel on April 11th, 12th, and 13th.

I am so intrigued with this direction for Critical Role and the expansion of Metapigeon as a production and distribution channel.

I have been wondering what CR would do for additional content.

It felt like, especially after the pandemic the cast have been exceptionally busy in other projects but also as I was going down the line of CR’s other shows, I felt like it wasn’t sustainable to always rely on the same cast members to always be hosting different shows or playing games.

But also, Critical Role didn’t have to play the same grind and hustle wheelhouse twitch streamers seemed to find themselves trapped in. They already have a dedicated audience, and as Kevin Kelly once wrote sometimes all you need is 1,000 true fans.

At the same time, they do still need to produce videos/content to keep an audience engaged.

This feels like a good direction CR is heading towards, it is in line with their brand, and doubling down on their statement about uplifting indie creators. Something they’ve said before and reiterated during the whole OGL fiasco. Marisha and Matt weren’t just offering lip service to Linda Codega.

I wondered when Worlds Beyond Number was released with its fantastic audio design if Critical Role will also do something similar but re-releasing Midst and producing its season 3 feels like such a good first step in both expanding and also helping indie creators get boosted.

Midst is also on brand because it seems to be a fantastic narrative story with semi-improvisation.

But also, I hope Marisha will talk about the thought process of adding Midst to CR’s stable of content. I loved when Marisha (in Google Talks) discussed how she broke down what made CR popular and created shows towards that.

Adding in another show is also going to give the CR cast members more bandwidth, while also giving fans something new.

I’m looking forward to all the lore and artwork this new show will add!

Since CR named their media arm, Metapigeon, after a table bit, I can’t wait for the future environmental conservation charity to be named after Flat Exandria

If nothing else because every time it gets brought up Matt’s just gonna be like
