Critical Role Content Warning

Critical Role Content Warning is a fan project to make content warnings for the Critical Role web series. We track content warnings during the show to help people make informed decisions about viewing.

We're an all-volunteer project not associated with Critical Role. Our aim is to provide a more detailed content warnings than any company can reasonably provide. Our resource is not a judgement on what should or shouldn't be in the show, only a description of what's there.

Please note that content warnings encompass more than triggers, but also things people find unpleasant and would like to be informed of. We err on the side of including things if we're unsure if they're needed, because it's safer for it to be there if it's needed.

While we have a team who have researched what to look for, there's a lot of material to process and we can miss things or be inaccurate. We welcome constructive feedback to help improve the project and discuss all of it.
