Two major D&D designers who shaped the game for well over a decade have jumped ship to join the publishing arm of Critical Role.
Following their retirement from Dungeons & Dragons-maker Wizards of the Coast earlier this year, Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford (both of whom were driving forces behind the game's most recent editions) have been revealed today as creative director and game director respectively for Darrington Press - the Critical Role company responsible for Daggerheart, Candela Obscura, and more. It seems as though these roles will allow them to continue the kind of work that made them titans in this industry; the official press release notes that they'll be "developing new game concepts, innovative mechanics, and future iterations, including upcoming expansions involving the entire slate of Darrington Press products."
