, the company that has adapted its popular and long-running Dungeons & Dragons livestreamed campaigns into animated series “The Legend of Vox Machina” on Prime Video, has made its first acquisition.,” described as a semi-improvised audio drama. Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.

“Midst” is set in the “space-western” town of Stationary Hill, on the desert planet of Midst, and follows three protagonists – a crotchety outlaw, a struggling cultist and a diabolical bastard – as their paths intersect in unexpected ways. The story is told by “three unreliable, playfully omniscient and fully anonymous narrators” who voice all of the characters in a “turbulent present-tense stream-of-consciousness style,” according to Critical Role.

The unnamed founders of “Midst” commented, “In lieu of the trumpet and explosion emojis that would be the truest expression of our feelings, we can say with full sincerity that we are over the moon to have found partners with such phenomenal passion and talent for creative multimedia storytelling. Critical Role and Metapigeon are enabling us to bring Midst to life in ways we never imagined possible, and we can’t wait to share what’s in store with fans both old and new.

Subscribers who sign up via the “Midst” website for either $2.99/month or $29.99/year will gain access to the first five episodes on April 11, as well as future episodes two weeks in advance. The subscription features an ad-free experience and access to bonus content around each episode, such as documents, items and artifacts from the world of the story.
