Critical Role Announces Washington, D.C. Appearance at Awesome Con March 14-15

Critical Role confirmed an appearance at Awesome Con at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, 801 Allen Y. Lew Pl NW, Washington, D.C., with founders and new cast members scheduled to attend across the March 14–15 weekend. The studio’s event page announces, “Join Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Matthew Mercer, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham on March 14th and March 15th for their first appearance at Awesome Con!”

Collider and Popverse corroborate the two-day window, reporting that Whitney Moore, Alexander Ward, and Luis Carazo will make their first-ever comic con appearances and will “be joined by longtime Critical Role cast members Sam Riegel and Taliesin Jaffe.” Critical Role’s Instagram post likewise named Sam Riegel, Taliesin Jaffe, Alexander Ward, Luis Carazo and Whitney Moore in a guest announcement that read, “⭐ CRITICAL ROLE GUEST ANNOUNCEMENTS ⭐ Sam Riegel, Taliesin Jaffe, Alexander Ward, Luis Carazo & Whitney Moore venture to Awesome Con in March!”

Programming details published so far emphasize meet-and-greet opportunities. Critical Role’s event page points fans to Photo Ops & Autographs for founders and fellow castmates Luis Carazo, Whitney Moore, and Alexander Ward, while Collider notes attendees can “participate in photo ops, autograph sessions, and panels focused on the past, present, and future of Critical Role.” Awesome Con’s listing adds practical notes: photo ops start at $60, autograph tickets are “Inquire at table, No pre-orders,” and pricing does not include fees.

A scheduling inconsistency remains in the public materials. Critical Role’s event info table lists a single entry of Date: March 15, 2026 and Time: 10:00 am, while the page body and multiple outlets list March 14–15 as the appearance span. Popverse explicitly flags that “Not included in the announcement is the date/time of the panel that the five Critical Rolers are said to be attending.” Confirm the official Awesome Con schedule and guest-day assignments before planning travel or ticket purchases.

Badge and ticketing logistics are already active: Critical Role’s page urges fans “YOU CAN PURCHASE BADGES RIGHT HERE! BUY BADGES HERE,” and Collider reports attendee badges are available through the convention’s official site. Awesome Con is expected to draw more than 60,000 attendees and is produced by LeftField Media, which also runs Rose City Comic Con, Anime NYC, and Anime Frontier.

This appearance continues Critical Role’s expansion beyond livestreamed campaigns into conventions and other platforms; the company’s About us page traces that growth from “a bunch of friends playing RPGs” in 2012 to “a multi-platform entertainment sensation” led by game master Matthew Mercer. Critical Role’s event page promises further updates, “We’ll be sure to update this page as we learn more”, and lists contact information at info@critrole.com for press or specific inquiries.
