Freaky Thursday will be livestreamed on Beacon, Twitch, and YouTube at 7 p.m. PT. Fans will be able to make donations or purchase rewards to shape the story through Tiltify. The group has set a goal of raising $180,000 with the livestream, and each milestone will unlock in-game surprises like 'new allies, unexpected adversaries or even character sheet swaps, ensuring an unpredictable and exciting adventure shaped entirely by the community's contributions,' Critical Role said. The one-shot will provide donations to the California Community Foundation Wildfire Recovery Fund, the Latino Community Foundation, and the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation. As of Saturday, 28 people have died in the fires, according to NBC News. Hundreds of others have lost their homes and thousands more people were forced to evacuate. Critical Role has evolved into a multimedia enterprise with its core show, one-offs and spinoff web series, comics and books, an animated series, and their own subscription-based streaming platform, Beacon. They've also developed tabletop gaming systems, such as Candela Obscura and Daggerheart. 'We've worked so hard to build the foundation of this company that we want to be the rest of our lives in a way that will shepherd everything we want to create,' Mercer previously told Rolling Stone about Critical Role's legacy. 'And in time shepherd to the next generation of storytellers. I hope to one day pass the torch to a bunch of incredible people with new ideas and new perspectives and give them the space to tell their stories. And we can be the distant creative grandparents to them and be proud from the shadows.'
