Vox Rewatch is our love letter to Critical Role Campaign 1—three fans reliving the chaos, the lore, and the moments that made Vox Machina unforgettable. Each episode blends recap, reaction, and reflection, with plenty of laughs along the way. Whether you’re rewatching or discovering Campaign 1 for the first time, pull up a chair and join the table.

Jumping into Critical Role can feel overwhelming—400+ hours of story, inside jokes you don’t get yet, and a fandom that speaks its own language. From rough early episodes to emotional gut-punches and unforgettable battles, here are five things I wish I knew before starting Campaign One, so you can enjoy the adventure without getting lost in the chaos.
