Titmouse and Critical Role are launching a new animated tabletop RPG series called Draw Your Weapons on the Beacon platform. The show features artists playing live sessions where their drawings of weapons, monsters, and characters directly influence the adventure. It debuts on February 25 at 7 p.m. PT, with commentary from comedians Blaine Capatch and Chris Prynoski.
Titmouse, an animation studio, and Critical Role, known for its popular tabletop role-playing game campaigns, have collaborated on Draw Your Weapons, a fresh animated series that premieres on Beacon this week. The concept centers on geeky artists engaging in actual-play TTRPG scenarios, where they sketch elements like characters, weapons, and monsters in real time to shape the story. This approach gives the drawings immediate impact on the game's world, turning creative ideas into on-screen consequences.
Game Master Josh Knapp, who has worked on The Tonight Show, leads the adventure. The party consists of unlikely heroes portrayed by Rashawn Scott from South Side, Sean Glaze from Regular Show, artist Heather Mahler, and musician Jason Charles Miller. Their quests take them through the city of Port Promise and across the continent, escalating into increasingly wild scenarios. Standup comedian and writer Blaine Capatch, along with Titmouse Founder and CEO Chris Prynoski, provide play-by-play commentary and confessional-style insights, adding humor and guidance to the fast-paced action.
The series emphasizes a punk and DIY vibe, prioritizing bold, art-driven storytelling over caution. It comprises 11 episodes, with new installments releasing every Wednesday. Viewers can participate by submitting fan art through Critical Role's established channels for potential inclusion in weekly galleries on critrole.com, or by joining live events in the Beacon Discord community.
This debut, set for February 25 at 7 p.m. PT, highlights the growing intersection of animation, gaming, and interactive entertainment, inviting fans to engage creatively alongside the cast.
