Darrington Press Welcomes Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford to the Team!

Good news, Critters! Two outstanding game designers have joined our publishing arm Darrington Press: Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford! You might recognize their decades of game design work together on tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars Roleplaying, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, and Blue Rose.

Or you might know them from our specific Critical Role collaborations: both Chris and Jeremy worked on Call of the Netherdeep, our 5e adventure module set in Exandria, and Jeremy Crawford has been both a guest on Critical Role as well as an editor on our Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount!

At Darrington Press, Chris and Jeremy will develop new game concepts and expansions on existing Darrington Press titles—we can’t wait for you to see what they’ll be cooking up.

“Storytelling has always been at the heart of everything I do, and joining Darrington Press feels a bit like coming home,” said Perkins, Creative Director of Darrington Press. “I’ve loved being a part of the extended Critical Role family as a regular guest over the years and I’m beyond excited to help create new worlds full of adventure.”

“I’ve always believed that great games invite everyone to the table, and that’s exactly what excites me about joining Darrington Press,” said Crawford, Game Director of Darrington Press. “This team is passionate, wildly creative, and committed to building welcoming, connected, amazing story-driven experiences—I can’t wait to expand on what Critical Role has already created to develop some really fun and unique games.”
