Popverse's top stories of the day

The Critical Role team are taking a break from Exandria and returning to Chicago to play some games, take in some quests, and have some fun on C2E2 2025 weekend. In addition to meeting fans, they'll be taking part in an hour-long panel - the gang's all here, from Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, Ashley Johnson, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, to Taliesin Jaffe.

Popverse will be livestreaming the C2E2 2025 Critical Role panel for our members live as it happens, but if you're not ready yet to skip your latte and buy a monthly membership we will be in the room reporting on everything said and done from the jokes to the easter eggs (and even more jokes).
