Narrative Telephone

Narrative Telephone premiered during the programming hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 as one of three series the studio continued to produce, along with "AWNP: Unplugged" and "Yee-Haw Off the Ranch". Each episode, a cast member determined by a d20 roll told a story, which was then passed down in random order through the rest of the cast. The show proved so popular that it continued once broadcasts of Critical Role itself resumed in July 2020. The first season ended with the broadcast on 21 July 2020.

"Round Two" began October 20, 2020, with a guest star for each episode who became the storyteller in their second appearance. It aired on the third Tuesday of each month, at 4:00 pm Pacific time, and ran from 20 October 2020 through 18 May 2021.

The third season, featuring the cast of Exandria Unlimited, began on Thursday, 23 September 2021 in the usual timeslot for Critical Role's main campaigns.

The theme song for Narrative Telephone is "In the Stars", from Cavendish Music's album "Inspiring Beauty".
