For The Legend of Vox Machina, he was reimagined as a young rebel leader. On Critical Role, Archibald Desnay was originally an old man who acted as chancellor to the de Rolos.
As they were facing Delilah Briarwood's army of undead, Archie jumped in to protect Scanlan Shorthalt from Vedmire, and was killed. He later met up with them and tried to convince Percy to take over his role as leader of the resistance. He was rescued by Vox Machina and they went to a safehouse while they rescued Percival's sister, Cassandra de Rolo. Shortly before Vox Machina arrived in town, Archibald was captured by Kerrion Stonefell and taken to the local prison, where Goran Vedmire tortured and questioned him. At some point after the Lord Sylas and Lady Delilah Briarwood took control of Whitestone, Archibald became the leader of the resistance. He and Percival de Rolo were good friends and often got in trouble together. He demonstrated great leadership skills and liked to lighten the mood through jokes, even in the heat of battle.Īrchibald grew up alongside Percy in Whitestone Castle, where his father worked as a cook. After his left ear was torn off by Goran Vedmire, he wore a bloody bandage on his head.Īrchibald was a very determined individual who did not hesitate to put himself in harm's way to help his friends and liberate Whitestone. The mental skills, whether intelligence, wisdom, or charisma, of the Vox Machina party overall seem about as good as those of people on Jersey Shore, and it seems like no wonder people are doing things as obviously dumb as casting Call Lightning on a blue dragon when they saw humanoid footsteps and my first inclination, if I were a druid, would. Stephanie Beatriz, David Tennant, and Rory McCann are just a few of the guest stars for your nerdy voice acting bingo card.Archibald was a young dwarf with red hair. Instead The Legend of Vox Machina brought on some of the biggest talents in voice acting to join the game. While it would have been hilarious for DM, Matt Mercer, to play every single NPC, he only plays a bunch of them. The main cast is, naturally, all very skilled at portraying their characters, but there are a ton of other characters, too.
Between a fitting and clean animation style, and a score that’s half score half jokes, Vox Machina successfully walks the line between serious high fantasy and the kind of low-brow table humor your buds are probably making with their own characters.Īnd of course the voice acting is top notch. On a technical level, everything is very watchable, if not enjoyable. Which makes sense, because that’s exactly what it is. And for those of us with a D&D background, it also manages to capture the same feeling as a game played with friends. There’s a lot to like about The Legend of Vox Machina. For those of us with little to no Critical Role knowledge going in, the animated series is surprisingly approachable. So when a Kickstarter campaign was kicked off to turn one of their adventures, The Legend of Vox Machina, into an animated series? It was no surprise that the campaign was backed and then some.
