CritRoleStats Announcement, November 2023

After 8 years of pouring our hearts into our work and being one of the premier sources of third-party Critical Role information from live play-by-plays to collected data sets to digestible lore to encounter strategies to any other random fancies that crossed us, this will be the final quarter of CritRoleStats. As of January 2024, our team will say goodbye to the site and all the responsibilities we’ve taken on. We’re all completionists at heart, but despite our stubbornness, there was always a point where we had to recognize when we were ready to move on.

2023 isn’t over yet, though, and we’re still going to be hard at work throughout the rest of the year. Here’s what we’re doing, and what our future plans entail.

Matt facepalmed in 911 instances during campaign episodes. Poetic number to end on.

ok so i don't know what it would look like (fics that use excessive amounts of data? art? fanvids of the incredibly detailed spreadsheets?) but i am filled with the desire to produce some kind of collective tribute to critrolestats. just bc eight years of collecting data for this fandom is a hell of an achievement and they have saved me so many times.

anyway if anyone else is filled with a similar desire lmk! i don't have any coherent ideas yet but i'm sure we can come up with something.

#critical role #critrolestats #end of an era indeed

Announcement from CritRoleStats

CritRoleStats has announced on their website that they will be stopping all updates after the end of the year.

"After 8 years of pouring our hearts into our work and being one of the premier sources of third-party Critical Role information from live play-by-plays to collected data sets to digestible lore to encounter strategies to any other random fancies that crossed us, this will be the final quarter of CritRoleStats. As of January 2024, our team will say goodbye to the site and all the responsibilities we’ve taken on. We’re all completionists at heart, but despite our stubbornness, there was always a point where we had to recognize when we were ready to move on.

2023 isn’t over yet, though, and we’re still going to be hard at work throughout the rest of the year. Here’s what we’re doing, and what our future plans entail.

The Rest of 2023

We will continue our regular duties following Campaign 3 until January 1. These include:

Episode Livecasts, both live on Thursdays and edited article form on Fridays

Media References and Puns the following Tuesday

All Running Stats (times, charts, calendar, crits, galleries, …the list is far too long, but you get it)

What we have stopped doing:

Any updates for articles more than a year old (e.g., Media References)

Monster Analyses (concluded as C3E050)

Homebrew Updates, Quick Answers, One-Shot Masterposts, other various stats

We’ll continue to accept emails, but our Ask Box is now closed. We will do our best to update any charts, character sheets, and various stats to our satisfaction and accepted accuracy as of December 31, 2023.

2024 and Onward

On January 1, 2024, CritRoleStats.com will officially be frozen as a publicly-available archive, time-capsuled and as accurate as we can hope for for all information acquired prior to that date. We will no longer publish articles, update our archives, upload new character sheets, or provide episode livecasts. We will maintain our hold of our social media accounts as long as is reasonable on each site, but we will no longer use them for business as usual.

Thanks to your support, we expect to be able to continue to host the domain and all our data indefinitely, for as long as the Critical Role community still finds relevance in the CritRoleStats archives. We will periodically check the site and continue to apply any updates needed to keep it online, but the content available will remain unchanged. We’ll keep our Patreon and KoFi open, as any additional support for our years of service is of course appreciated. As for the continuation of any projects, while CritRoleStats as you all know it will close with the absence of our members, the TTRPG and CR communities are welcome to try to continue from the foundations we’ve established.

We welcome and are incredibly grateful for all of your support, both intrinsic and monetary, over our past eight years. We appreciate your patience and continued support in this final chapter!"

Happy eight years to @critrolestats !! I salute you all and the absolutely invaluable effort CRS has given the Critical Role fandom over the years. From the bottom of my heart thank you for all your hard work and I wish you all the very best 💜

Hello! This is Andrew with CritRoleStats. May we use your Fearne piece from May in an upcoming article, with full credit? Thank you either way!

ooooohhh omg! yes absolutely. (you guys are doing the lords work over there!!!) thank you for asking!

So no more CR until next year, which means sadly CritRoleStats will close its metaphorical doors before next episode. Does anyone know if there's any other avenues to keep up with future episodes? UK Time Zones and being at my job do get in the way of watching the streams.

#critical role #c3 #bells hells #critrolestats #still didn't get that callowmoore kiss I crave but we got some cute flirting and a hug at least but dammit just kiss already! #Ruidus is on watch y'all better not hurt or try to turn our crew against one another I swear #there's literally a metric of shit still to go down on the moon anyway with Athion plus their dragon Otohan Liliana (maybe) Ludinus etc #not to mention Predathos itself per Chet's deal with Mori #but yeah any other play by plays I can check out quickly for the full scoop before I go to MarvelousBelladonna's clips would be appreciated #critrole spoilers #c3e81 #at least for the first time in what 10/11 weeks Tal and Ashley didn't leave me an anxious mess for 3 weeks #this time just Matt setting up endgame stuff to make me anxious because I want all these chaotic sillies to stay alive #but do pour one out in the chat for critrolestats they were very helpful not just for liveblogs but fanarts and per the name stats

New Blood, Old Regards

Thanks to @eyeofthenewt1 for this art piece!

Greetings! Although the Stats Team is still in a state of retirement, we’ve periodically updated several of our Campaign 3 Running Stats categories and galleries thanks to the efforts of a new team of data collectors. This team, consisting of Archivists Astral, Ethereal, Fey, and Shadow, have been preparing since the beginning of the year to launch their own site, and that day has come! With that, we’re pleased to present:

The Omen Archive

Although they have been providing CritRoleStats updates for our Campaign 3 records, their site will be its own thing with its own tools, toys, and focuses, such as graphics derived from their own databases of data. Please visit them at their website, reach out to them, and check them out on their various social media pages:

Website: https://www.omenarchive.com/

Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/omenarchive

Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/omenarchive.bsky.social

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omen_archive/

Tumblr: https://omenarchive.tumblr.com/ ( @omenarchive )

CritRoleStats will continue to update our databases and running stats pages with the data we receive from the Omen Archive until the end of the campaign, so that anyone from academics to casual fans have access to a complete catalogue of three campaigns worth of data. After that, our site will be completely (accessibly) archived, and our legacy will be carried on entirely by projects like the Omen Archive.

Thanks Are In Order

Outside of our final livecast, we realize we went out without the proper thanks to the community members who helped us grow. We’d like to take this opportunity to give credit where we feel it’s due.

We’d like to thank the team at Critical Role for their support over the years, with special thanks to Dani Carr for both her wonderful spirit, tenacious work ethic, and the marvelous send-off she gave us.

We’d like to thank the creators in the community. Thank you to the artist community for letting us feature your wonderful talent to give vibrancy to the numbers and words we’ve filled. Thank you to the information gathering community, from the wiki workers to the meta analysts, for giving your time to help make Critical Role more accessible. Thank you to the academics for finding value we didn’t know we had in our work. Thank you to everyone who creates in this community, whether your medium is music, words, stats, or art; whether you share for a large audience or for the joy of your private home or table; whether you encourage others with high presence, or quietly inspire and support from the shadows. Your creation makes the world a more interesting place.

We’d like to thank both our patrons and our Ko-Fi supporters for allowing us to carry on for as long as we have, and to make sure our work can continue to reach those who want to be informed and inspired. Thank you to our regular visitors, as well; traffic is supportive in several ways!

Thank you to those who have been with us, whether it’s the very beginning, sometime in the middle, or even if you’re tuning in just now. Your patronage and your expression of value in our work has been a blessing. (Thanks for the 1d4.) We’d also like to thank everyone who has continued to visit the site in spite of the lack of regular content creation on our part, and are grateful that so many of you are still finding use in the previous campaigns’ worth of data, as well as the current one.

We love you all very much. Now, back to retirement!

[critrolestats-salute]

Welcome!

Welcome to a Salute to CritRoleStats!

What is this? It's a thank you and a celebration to CritRoleStats, who have enabled so many fanworks over the years! What better way to celebrate them than to create more fanworks inspired by their stats?

What do you have to do? Create something! Be it art, fic, crafts, songs, meta, stat blocks, cosplay, a delicious pastry, however you want to express your creativity. Then tag it #critrolestats-salute on your social media of choice, or submit it to our AO3 collection!

What are the rules? No AI art, please—otherwise, anything is fair game! No word or effort limit, and submissions can be in any medium.

Need some ideas? You can find our prompt list here, or submit more prompts/stats so everyone can have more here!

Got more questions? Check our FAQ, or message one of the mods: @operafloozy @songofwizardry @aleph-sharp
