In 2012, a group of friends started out playing Dungeons & Dragons in each other's living rooms.

Now, that group of friends - under the banner of the company they formed, Critical Role, has been picked up by Amazon Prime for two 12-episode seasons of "The Legend of Vox Machina."

LA Times reporter Jevon Phillips stopped by LA Times Today to talk about their massive popularity and their record-breaking Kickstarter campaign.
