Summary
Travis Willingham and Laura Bailey of Critical Role reveal that the cast has discussed creating a Marvel-style What If...? animated series that would explore alternate timelines and "what if" scenarios from their Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. The idea would allow them to revisit beloved characters in new contexts, such as exploring darker paths or different outcomes for key moments in their stories. While still just an idea, the concept reflects the cast's ongoing interest in expanding the Critical Role universe beyond traditional storytelling.

· 3 pulledWe've definitely talked about it. I think it's something that we would all love to do, because there are so many moments in our campaigns where you think, 'What if this had gone differently?'
The beauty of Critical Role is that we have this huge world with so many characters and so many stories, and the What If...? format would let us explore those alternate paths in a really fun way.
It's one of those ideas that's been floating around in our conversations for a while. We love the idea of being able to revisit characters and moments from a different angle.
