Geek & Sundry
A great website
This excellent resource is the original hosting platform for Critical Role and very many other shows and troves of information. A great resource.

Critical Role on YouTube
​
Critical Role's own website.
​
This show is made by professional voice actors. Originally on Geek & Sundry, they have since created their own platform. Renowned worldwide, and very much worth a watch.
​
Watching this show gives an excellent idea of how campaigns can be run by good Dungeons Masters.
Moving from Geek & Sundry to their own platform and with the aid of funding from the community, Critical Role seems to go from strength to strength. The original shows are all here too, the crew are all professional voice actors and the quality is beyond compare - Season 2 especially shows some of their talent to greater effect.
