* CastFullOfWriters: Matt Mercer and the players from the original campaign count insofar as they shaped the original campaign storyline the cartoon's based on and return to voice many of their characters. Travis Willingham and Sam Riegel also [[WrittenByCastMember directly contributed to the cartoon's scripting]], according to [[https://m.imdb.com/title/tt11247158/fullcredits/writer the Internet Movie Database.]]

* TheCastShowoff: Creator/SamRiegel, who started his acting career in childhood as a classically trained musical theater actor, predictably puts his talents to use a ''lot'' as Scanlan. Later, Creator/AislingFranciosi also gets in on the action, singing a fun, jaunty duet with Sam as Scanlan's daughter Kaylie.

* SleeperHit: A highly downplayed example. When the Kickstarter page for the show launched, the cast openly admitted that their $750,000 goal for one episode was quite ambitious, as far as Kickstarters go. To assist in the process, they scheduled a special stream to talk about the Kickstarter project and hype it up for the evening of the launch. However, they deeply underestimated their fans; the Critters pledged the entire $750,000 goal in 40 minutes, hit over one million dollars in under an hour, and had easily crested their highest stretch goal of three million dollars before the stream had even started. The StunnedSilence at the start of that night's stream said it all: they had to come up with more and more stretch goals to fill the month, culminating in a lot of TensionCuttingLaughter and [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe sheet disbelief at what was happening]]. Ultimately, all of the stretch goals were hit, with the final total cresting over eleven million dollars.

* OlderThanTheyThink: During the Legend of the Story of the Legend of Vox Machina mini-doc, executive producer Brandon Auman claims that no one had tried adapting a RPG campaign into an animated series before ''The Legend of Vox Machina'', except that ''Literature/RecordOfLodossWar'' was also adapted from a series of TabletopGame/BasicDungeonsAndDragons [[AfterActionReport replays]] way back in the 80s and 90s.
