Vox Machina’s adventures may be over, but they can live forever on your bookshelf thanks to the incredible talents and submissions of Critical Role fan artists from around the world. The cast and team behind the show have curated a breathtaking book composed of art created by the Critter community, titled The Chronicles of Exandria, Vol. I: The Tale of Vox Machina.

Published by Hunters Books, this amazing volume is available in the Geek & Sundry online store in both standard and deluxe editions right now. Buy it here!

The standard edition of The Chronicles of Exandria, Vol. I runs for $59.99, with the deluxe edition at $124.99. (Alpha members receive 10% off!)

Lauryn Ipsum, who designed the book, shared her experience with us:

“The Critical Role art book was, by far, the most challenging of any book I’ve designed to date. That said, it was also the most rewarding. This wasn’t just another job, not for any of us. Taliesin, Liam, and I poured our hearts into what is essentially a 256-page love letter to the fans. I sincerely hope they get as much enjoyment out of it as we did from putting it together. One of my favorite things about this project is the fact that is sounds completely made up. I designed a book of fan-art for the D&D game my friends professionally play. Nothing about that sentence sounds real, and I love that! I only wish I could go back in time and tell 12-year-old Lauryn about this project. I think she would be proud.

The standard edition features cover art by renowned artist Joe Madureira, while the deluxe edition is bound in eye-catching red leather and gold foil.

With pieces of art from 89 artists worldwide, who have all been inspired by their love of Critical Role to draw and paint their own tributes to Vox Machina, The Chronicles of Exandria promises to be an art book unlike any other.

Along with the stunning artwork, you’ll find detailed retellings of Vox Machina’s greatest adventures, preserved for all time in a volume you’ll pick up time and time again.
