Critical Role announces Laudna prequel novel releasing next summer Critical RoleThe next novel from Critical Role and Penguin Random House has been announced, and it follows the \u201cfun scary\u201d Launda from Campaign 3\u2019s party Bells Hells. Critical Role has announced its next novel. Written by Cassandra Khaw and published by Penguin Random House, Critical Role: Bells Hells \u2013 What Doesn\u2019t Break focuses on Bells Hells\u2019 resident Warlock\/Sorcerer Laudna. The book, which will release in July 2024, is set to explore Laudna\u2019s years on her own before meeting Imogen and later joining Bells Hells. Though far from Critical Role\u2019s first time expanding its lore through other mediums like novels and comics, What Doesn\u2019t Break is the first time Campaign Three\u2019s party has been explored outside the playshow itself. Critical Role novel What Doesn\u2019t Break to explore Laudna\u2019s story before Campaign 3 The description for What Doesn\u2019t Break is as follows: \u201cUncover the lost years of Critical Role\u2019s unrelentingly upbeat undead spellcaster in this original prequel novel to Laudna\u2019s adventures with Bells Hells.\u201d While few details have been announced, there is about 30 years of Laudna\u2019s life (or undeath) to explore. Given what we know about Laudna\u2019s tragic past from the show, fans can expect a dark story in which a lonely Launda has just herself, the voice of the villainous Delilah Briarwood, and (of course) her little puppet P\u00e2t\u00e9 de Rolo to keep her company. It shouldn\u2019t be all doom and gloom though, as Laudna is sure to bring her own brand of \u201cfun scary.\u201d As for the author, Khaw has worked on various video game and tabletop RPG projects, as well as their own published works, which center on horror and science fiction. They have worked with Dungeons & Dragons and Critical Role before, contributing to Van Richten\u2019s Guide to Ravenloft and Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep. What Doesn\u2019t Break will be Critical Role\u2019s third novel. It follows Critical Role: Vox Machina \u2013 Kith & Kin, which adds to the backstories of Campaign 1\u2019s Vex\u2019ahlia and Vax\u2019ildan, and Critical Role: The Mighty Nein \u2013 The Nine Eyes of Lucien, which focuses on major Campaign 2 character Lucien Tavelle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
