What we thought might happen in the span of a month or so, was happening in a matter of hours. Several calls were made into the office simply asking if Kickstarter might just be “broken”.

We hadn’t showered or dressed, and just stood there squeezing our son in disbelief – trying to comprehend what we were seeing.

Needless to say, after the first 15 minutes of the campaign going live – we knew we were going to be insanely late. Laura and I were busy trying to get ready for our recording sessions, while keeping an eye on our 8 month old. TRAVIS WILLINGHAM: That Monday was a complete train wreck of a day. It’s only been a week, and I still can’t believe it’s real. Every time I landed and checked my phone, I would stand there in disbelief, in the middle of a busy terminal, floored by the response and the number of backers we were seeing. It was surreal because while everyone else was watching the numbers in real time, I had these long periods in the air where I wouldn’t know what was happening. SAM RIEGEL: I was traveling the day the Kickstarter launched, on a multi-leg flight home. Where were you both when the campaign hit its goal, and what was your first reaction to the news? There was an incredible outpour of support from the Critters (Critical Role fans) when the campaign launched. Be sure to check out their Kickstarter campaign, which is closing in on $7 million. Executive producers Sam Riegel and Travis Willingham were kind enough to talk with us. A big thank you to the Critical Role team for reaching out and let us ask some questions about their upcoming cartoon, “The Legend of Vox Machina”, and to Matt Klein for contributing questions.
