The World of Critical Role

Liz Marsham began her storytelling career as an editor for DC and Disney Publishing. She loves fantasy, sci-fi, knitting, games (video, tabletop, and otherwise), weird stories about true things, and people working to make the world better. Also tea. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, her son, a cat who thinks she is a princess, and a cat who thinks he is a dog.

Founded by veteran voice actors Matthew Mercer, Ashley Johnson, Marisha Ray, Taliesin Jaffe, Travis Willingham, Sam Riegel, Laura Bailey, and Liam O’Brien, Critical Role has grown from a weekly improv storytelling campaign set in an ever-evolving world, to a media company centered on connecting with communities in new and meaningful ways, including fiction (Critical Role: Vox Machina—Kith & Kin) and non-fiction (The World of Critical Role) books on the New York Times bestsellers list, comic books (Vox Machina Origins, Tales of Exandria), graphic novels (The Mighty Nein Origins series), collectibles, tabletop and role playing games, podcasts, live events, and a critically acclaimed animated series, The Legend of Vox Machina.
