Now, Critical Role is releasing a special anthology to celebrate its 10-year anniversary in 2025. Critical Role: Vox Machina – Stories Untold is a series of 10 short stories written from the perspective of various characters connected to the adventuring party, from allies like Shaun Gilmore, Trinket, Kaylie, and Doty to major villains like Raishan and Kevdak. Each story is penned by a different person, including bestselling authors like Rory Power and Sarah Glenn Marsh, and Dimension 20 and Critical Role guest GM Aabria Iyengar. Cast member Liam O’Brien also provides a foreword, promising a bevy of varied voices throughout the anthology.

Critical Role: Vox Machina – Stories Untold Contents

Foreword written by Liam O’Brien
10 short stories featuring friends and foes of Vox Machina, including:
- Shaun Gilmore, written by Aabria Iyengar
- Raishan, written by Rory Power
- Trinket, written by Sarah Glenn Marsh
- Stories featuring Kaylie, Doty, Kevdak, and more, written by Jess Barber, Martin Cahill, Rebecca Coffindaffer, Sam Maggs, Nibedita Sen, Izzy Wasserstein, and Kendra Wells

While the subjects of four of the 10 stories have not yet been revealed, the cover of Critical Role: Vox Machina – Stories Untold has medallions for each tale that could hint as to who might appear in them. A sword, rifle, dragon, and spider-like creature are among the sigils that are not seemingly connected with the revealed stories, which could be references to other important characters from The Legend of Vox Machina like Sylas Briarwood, Anna Ripley, or J'mon Sa Ord.

Critical Role: Vox Machina – Stories Untold officially releases on March 4, but fans can pre-order the anthology today from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or most other places where books are sold. Though prices may vary, it is available in hardcover for $30, audiobook for $20, and digital print for $15.

Before then, fans of Critical Role can enjoy a special one-shot on January 30 to raise money for those affected by the Los Angeles fires. Those who donate can cast votes on which monsters, hazards, and other obstacles the cast will encounter during the adventure, with all funds being donated to various charities dedicated to helping people recover from the disaster.
