Critical Role One-Shot: Thursday by Night is the twenty-fourth special episode of Critical Role. The cast will be playing fictionalized vampire versions of themselves in a serious and dark world created by Taliesin Jaffe. He will also be the Game Master for this episode.

Synopsis[]

Pre-Show[]

This game looks like Vampire: The Masquerade but with some homebrew elements added by Taliesin Jaffe. It will be fun, weird, dark and really inappropriate. The build that they're going to be running is a mix between the new v5 Alpha and Onyx, you can go in and find books on every city and every type of creature you could want.

Part I[]

The gang awakens into pitch blackness. After a little investigation, they discover they are all sealed into individual wooden coffins. Laura eats a rat.
