A Digital Critical Role Land Awaits
We’re excited to welcome you to BEACON, our magical new membership service and home of all things Critical Role!
Nothing changes with how you can watch or listen to our content currently, we’ll continue to be on Twitch, YouTube, & podcast platforms as usual. Beacon simply gives us the flexibility to create special perks, stay better connected with you all, and provide you with a better, unfiltered experience. We’re really excited for all there is to come!
Beacon members will receive live event presales, merch discounts, a members-only Discord, and more - including early access to things like the never before seen Re-Slayers Take and, exclusives like Critical Role Cooldown!
Let Ashley Johnson fill you in and head over to Beacon.tv to begin your journey today.
From what I understand they’re following the model of Dropout.tv and it should have the same services available in all regions. The main selling point, from what I can tell is the extra footage, such as the Session 0 prep for the upcoming live show that they announced would be part of the initial rollout. This is good news to the people who thought they would miss out on some of the campaign. I wouldn’t be surprised if they added their own serialized content like Dropout recently did with Thousandaires.
Yes I think with perks I was mostly thinking of event presales, which would mostly be in the US. I’d still get the extra content and merch discounts outside of the US. Then again, if they never do shows near Australia, it doesn’t really matter to me haha. I’m definitely tempted to subscribe, especially since I ended by Twitch sub a few months ago. Side note I just clicked on the appstore link from beacon.tv and the app is not available in my region 😅
As long as their main campaign continues to be available for free on YouTube and Twitch, I’m on board with them expanding their production company to new shows with this model.
That’s a bummer. I’m fairly certain they’re planning something in Straya. Being a show in the anglophone sphere, it’s a larger market than the UK (though their show in London was certainly boosted by EU travelers).
Yeah that’s a big issue with AU. It’s so far away from anywhere else that we won’t have nearly enough travelers to come here
