Once upon a time, a group of curious story tellers breathe life into epic tales set in

the wide fantasy world of Alexandria.

This is Liam O'Brien here to welcome you to Critical Role.

We'll dive into the story in just a moment, but first a few notes.

This is the audio-only version of our broadcast that streams Thursdays at 7pm Pacific over

on twitch.tv slash Critical Role and youtube.com slash Critical Role.

If you subscribe to our twitch channel, you can watch the video on demand immediately

after the broadcast, and it's also available Mondays at 12pm Pacific on youtube.

And of course, for all you wonderful podcast listeners, freshly minted episodes release

right here on the Critical Role podcast network one week after our broadcast on Thursdays.

With all that said, let's get into the story.

There you have it. Before you've been to tonight's session, we do have some announcements that

will begin with some sponsors, but part of the first sponsors should hide them with one

of the announcements, so I'll go and get to that first.

For those who haven't seen on social media, the announcements and such, we've partnered

with our friends at Dungeons & Dragons and Wizards of the Coast to release an upcoming

Explorers Guide to Wild Mounds.

Full-campaign setting for the entirety of the continent of Wild Mounds.

You guys have watched in this campaign so much more beyond that.

It's been a year plus of, I thought I had everything else to work out.

I'm super proud of it and the wonderful contributors that helped make the fush out of the world

even just beyond what I had worked on.
