The Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying show Critical Role debuted its first full-length campaign, Vox Machina, with nine players, but ended with eight; here's why the Dragonborn sorcerer Tiberius Stormwind left the show. Critical Role has had three major campaigns now and experienced a lot of growth over the years, going from little-known web series to a Twitch streaming giant. The series has had some guest stars along the way, such as Joe Manganiello and Wil Wheaton, but the main cast, led by Dm Matt Mercer, has largely remained the same — save for Orion Acaba.

Orion Acaba played Tiberius Stormwind for the first 27 episodes of Critical Role's first campaign, and then promptly left. Acaba had created quite the character in Tiberius. Fluent in Common, Draconic, and Dwarvish languages, Tiberius was born into a political family in Tyriex of Draconia, and he left his homeland to avoid having to join the Draconian council.

What could be more entertaining than playing Dungeons & Dragons? Watching people play the role-playing game with Critical Role.

The web series, from Geek & Sundry, streams a group of friends (mainly voice actors) on a weekly game ran by the show’s Dungeon Master Matthew Mercer.

The series is broadcast live on Thursdays on Geek & Sundry’s Twitch.tv channel and the episodes made available on its official web site and YouTube channel.

The group is comprised of Ashley Johnson, Laura Bailey, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, Taliesin Jaffe, Travis Willingham and Orion Acaba.
