Geek & Sundry is a commercial YouTube and Twitch channel and multimedia production company.[1][2] It was launched on April 2, 2012, by actress Felicia Day[3] with Kim Evey and Sheri Bryant[4] as part of YouTube's 100 million dollar original channel initiative. The company is primarily known for their launch of the D&D show Critical Role, which aired on their channels from 2015–19.

Geek & Sundry operated independently until it was acquired by Legendary Entertainment in 2014.[5] Critical Role was a breakout hit for the channel the following year, and became the most popular show on the network by far.[6] Geek & Sundry went on to produce many shows exclusively for Legendary's streaming service, Alpha, from its launch in 2017. In early 2019, Critical Role Productions separated from Legendary; in the wake of their departure, Alpha was shut down and Geek & Sundry went into decline.[6] The company went largely inactive in late 2019 with the YouTube channel primarily used to re-release existing content, though new videos were uploaded sporadically until April 2023.[7][8]

A relaunch and partnership with podcast platform Realm Media took place in September 2024; the channel has returned to producing original actual play content.[9]

History

[edit]

Independent era (2011–2014)

The company originated as a pitch made to the YouTube Original Channel Initiative by Felicia Day and Kim Evey. The two learned of the initiative in fall 2011, and set about producing a pitch based on a fifth and sixth season of The Guild, Wil Wheaton's Tabletop, Day's The Flog, and Sword & Laser (hosted by Veronica Belmont and Tom Merritt) among other shows.[1] Some of the shows in the pitch were only devised the day before the meeting with YouTube. Around half of the package of shows received funding in the form of an advance payment "against future advertising revenue to jumpstart production."[1][10]

The channel's founders and show hosts attended a number of fan conventions over the following years including ComicCon,[11] Dragon*Con,[12] VidCon,[13] and WonderCon.[14] In June 2012, Forbes suggested that "if successful, it could help blaze a trail for the future of network television."[15] In March 2013, the channel announced three new series: Felicia's Ark (featuring Felicia Day), Fetch Quest (created by Jordan Allen-Dutton) and The Player One[s]. Two programs, Tabletop and Space Janitors, were renewed for season 2 of the channel starting April 1, 2013.[16] Day later described the production schedule for the company as exhausting, as they were producing a large amount of content with only eight full time staff at the time. She came close to "pulling the plug", but elected to keep going, and received a second round of funding from YouTube.[17]

YouTube announced in December 2013 that it would not be continuing to invest in original content; Geek & Sundry continued however by relying on crowdfunding support. The next season of Tabletop received $500,000 in a single week. The surge in fan support led to commercial interest in buying the business;[18] in August 2014, Geek & Sundry was acquired by Legendary Entertainment for an undisclosed sum.[5] In December 2014, Geek & Sundry was listed on New Media Rockstars Top 100 Channels, ranked at #68.[19]

Twitch, Alpha and peak (2015–2018)

[edit]
Geek & Sundry updated 2016 logo

In March 2015, Geek & Sundry launched their Twitch channel with a 48-hour stream in support of The Lupus Foundation.[20] After Day heard about a private Dungeons & Dragons home game from Ashley Johnson, she approached the group about playing it in a live-streamed format for Geek & Sundry;[21][22][23] Critical Role began airing on March 12, 2015;[24] however, the show remained creator-owned.[25]

On January 11, 2016, Chinese conglomerate Wanda Group announced that it concluded an agreement with shareholders to acquire Legendary Entertainment for $3.5 billion.[26] In April 2016, "Geek & Sundry's website had 290,000 uniques [...], per comScore. On YouTube, where it got its start, it has 1.4 million subscribers".[27] In June 2016, Legendary Digital Networks (LDN) announced a new subscription streaming service, Alpha, which would include programming from both Nerdist and Geek & Sundry.[27] In 2016, Critical Role's spinoff show Talks Machina premiered on Geek & Sundry's Twitch channel; in January 2017, Talks Machina: After Dark premiered on Alpha and included 15–20 minutes of extra cast questions pulled from Alpha viewers.[28][29][30]

In 2016, Felicia Day left Geek & Sundry after growing "fatigued in a less creative, more managerial role in the company".[31] Day said "I gave it my heart and my soul. When I realized I had given as much as I could, I needed to move on".[31] In January 2017, it was announced that Thomas Tull, Legendary's founder, had exited as Legendary Entertainment CEO[32] and that Eric Campbell, a writer on Geek & Sundry shows such as The Flog, Felicia's Ark and Signal Boost!, would become the Director of Development for Geek & Sundry.[33][34] In July, Marisha Ray became the Creative Director.[35]

From 2017 onwards, the network increasingly focused on tabletop gaming shows. This included actual play shows such as Sagas of Sundry, miniature painting with Painter's Guild and game master chat shows such as Roundtable. Season 4 of Wheaton's Tabletop was exclusive to Alpha in 2016 before premiering on YouTube in 2017.[36][37][38][39] The Twitch channel reached its peak subscriber count at 55,349 in February 2018.[40]

Critical Role split (2018–2019)

[edit]

Legendary started to scale back their digital division after "Joshua Grode took over as the company's CEO in 2018".[41] In June, Critical Role Productions started to self-produce new shows and content which did not air on Geek & Sundry's channels.[42][43][44] Ray stepped down from her position at Geek & Sundry to become the Creative Director for Critical Role Productions;[45] Matt Key replaced her as Creative Director, and would remain until the post was eliminated the following year.[46][47]

In July 2018, the Star Trek role-playing game (RPG) show Shield of Tomorrow ended and was replaced by the superhero RPG show Callisto 6; the cast, with Campbell as the game master, were carried over to the new show.[48][49] L.A. by Night (based on Vampire: The Masquerade) premiered in September as a weekly show; Jason Carl, Brand Marketing Manager for World of Darkness, acted as the Storyteller.[50][51]

In February 2019, Critical Role's split from Geek & Sundry and LDN was completed, with their flagship show having been recorded at a new studio since July 2018.[52] Critical Role and Talks Machina aired exclusively on Critical Role's channels from this point onwards, and were no longer distributed via the Alpha streaming service.[53][6] The move also suspended the Alpha exclusive show Talks Machina: After Dark, which would never be reinstated on the new channels. Older episodes of Critical Role and Talks Machina were later deleted and re-uploaded to the new Critical Role channels.[54]: 0:45 

Further splits, layoffs and decline (2019–2023)

[edit]
Deborah Ann Woll's Relics and Rarities and Lost Odyssey: The Book of Knowledge were two of the final tabletop shows produced by the group

The departure of Critical Role in February 2019 marked "the beginning of a swift decline for the company",[55] as it and Talks Machina had been Geek & Sundry's most popular shows by far.[6] A short-lived D&D show Relics and Rarities premiered on Alpha that month; Deborah Ann Woll was the show's DM and the campaign had a celebrity guest each episode. It ran for only six episodes.[56][57][58][59] The Alpha service was shut down in March – only weeks after Critical Role's departure[60] – with Geek & Sundry content migrating to their YouTube and Twitch channels.[61] In April 2019, Wheaton announced that he was suing Geek & Sundry for breach of contract over distribution deals for Titansgrave: The Ashes of Valkana which he was not consulted on.[62] Campbell left Geek & Sundry in the same month,[63] and Relics and Rarities was not picked up for a second season.[64] Some further tabletop shows did however run during 2019, including Jason Bulmahn's Pathfinder: Knights of Everflame and Woll's Lost Odyssey: The Book of Knowledge.[65][66] The latter was followed by a short series of cast interview videos.[67][68]

In late 2019, Paradox Interactive's World of Darkness team took over production of L.A. By Night; seasons 1-3 remain archived on the Geek & Sundry YouTube channel while season 4 premiered exclusively on the World of Darkness Twitch channel in 2020.[51] In January 2020, Campbell and the cast of Shield of Tomorrow/Callisto 6 launched a new Star Trek show, Clear Skies, on the QueueTimes Twitch channel.[69][70] Campbell stated that Clear Skies is not a sequel and that "Shield of Tomorrow is Geek & Sundry‘s (and rightfully so). I had hoped to come back to Shield again, but honestly? We wrapped that story up so well, I love that it will exist forever as a completed campaign."[69] Twitch subscription numbers for G&S declined rapidly from a 50,000 high in January 2018 to 300 in January 2020. Game the Game ceased broadcast in April, and the Geek & Sundry website stopped updating in June with a final episode of How to Play.[71]

In July 2020, Legendary laid off 30% of the LDN staff.[41][72] Variety reported that "there was a sense that the operations were a money drain on the company's profitable film and television operations. Those cuts were accelerated by the onset of COVID-19, which has resulted in layoffs and furloughs across the entertainment industry".[41] The Hollywood Reporter reported that "the digital brands have become less important to the strategic direction of Legendary in recent years as the online content business has shifted away from the networks that grew big during the early heyday of YouTube stardom. Legendary Digital is not a moneymaker for the business the way its core film and TV divisions are".[72] Twitch Tracker stopped logging subscriptions in October 2020 for the channel, at which point there were 52 remaining,[40] and Geek & Sundry was left largely inactive.[55]

In April 2021, CBR reported that "Geek & Sundry as an original content producer hasn't exactly been operational for a couple of years".[8] The channels were sporadically used by Legendary to stream Nerdist shows such as Save Point and CelebriD&D,[73][74][75] while the YouTube channel was largely used to re-release existing content.[7] This included material that had originally been exclusive to Alpha such as CelebriD&D and We're Alive: Frontier.[76][77] Additional episodes of Becca Scott's How to Play were released from February 2021 to June 2022, as the first original content on the channel since the layoffs the previous summer and the sole ongoing G&S property at the time.[78][79][80] A single new episode of Game the Game, led by Scott, also aired in April 2023.[81] In January 2022, Wheaton and LDN settled their lawsuit outside of court.[82] The Geek & Sundry website began redirecting to the Nerdist website, and direct links to specific pages using the geekandsundry.com domain began to return 404 links. Geek & Sundry branding was integrated into the Nerdist website, under the "play" banner.[83]

Relaunch (2024–present)

[edit]

In August 2024, Legendary Digital Networks announced a new actual play podcast series titled Sagas of Sundry: Goblin Mode which began airing in September 2024 on Geek & Sundry's YouTube channel and on the Realm Media podcast network. It is led by game master Amy Vorpahl with Danielle Radford, Dan Casey, and Jason Nguyen as the main players.[84][85] Casey, Vice President of Creative & Development at Legendary Entertainment, explained that while the previous Sagas of Sundry series was a Dread LARP/AP, the creative intention behind using Dungeons & Dragons for Sagas of Sundry: Goblin Mode was "to go back to basics" and to line up with "the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons and the 10th anniversary of Fifth Edition".[9] On revitalizing Geek & Sundry, Casey commented that they "have been working on this relaunch for a few years" and that it had "really gained meaningful momentum in early 2023 thanks in part to [their] partnership with Realm".[9] Casey highlighted that the relaunch's initial focus is on "video content and podcasts" with "projects in production and development that encompass everything from board gaming to wargaming to collectible card gaming to painting minis"; however, they "eventually" plan to bring back editorial content on the Geek & Sundry website.[9]

Legacy

[edit]

International Tabletop Day originated as an event hosted on Geek & Sundry in 2013, and became a recurring annual event globally. While disrupted by the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the event is still celebrated worldwide.[8] Founder Felicia Day, who left the company in 2016, spoke positively of the influence of the company and its inclusion of geek voices. "I'm just happy I got to give people opportunities they wouldn't have otherwise and take a leap."[86] CBR commented in 2023 that "with huge shifts in management, a lawsuit between the company and Will [sic] Wheaton, and countless people leaving the company, it only makes sense that the company would largely cease its operations. [...] While Geek & Sundry may not be operational anymore, it made quite an impact on geek culture that is quite lasting. [...] Although Critical Role's departure sparked its rapid decline, Geek & Sundry has done a lot for the resurgence of interest in tabletop gaming and geeks everywhere are sure to look upon the company's golden years fondly".[7]

Em Friedman, for Polygon, commented on the impact of Geek & Sundry's experiments in actual play cinematographic style; the simultaneous display layout, pioneered with Critical Role, would come "to dominate actual play".[87] Friedman highlighted that Critical Role's "layout eliminated the awkward elements of the wide-angle lenses and multipurpose tables, cables, and other clutter. By cropping and arranging, it showed all angles of a table, simultaneously, live"; a simultaneous display led to player reactions becoming "a significant part of the audience experience".[87] However, this "look wasn't a foregone conclusion. There was no standard look early on. Even in 2015, as Critical Role began to stream, Geek & Sundry was producing fullscreen, edited multi-camera shows like Wil Wheaton's Titansgrave. The channel continued to refine both styles, producing fullscreen shows like Sagas of Sundry and We're Alive: Frontier alongside simultaneous-display shows like Shield of Tomorrow, ForeverVerse, Callisto 6, and LA by Night".[87]

A number of former Geek & Sundry shows continued airing in other formats after leaving the network, some continuing beyond when G&S had largely ceased operating in the late 2010s. Vampire the Masquerade: LA by Night was moved to the World of Darkness channel and received a fourth and fifth season before its conclusion in October 2021. LA by Night is also considered canon to the broader ongoing Vampire metaplot.[88] Em Friedman, for Polygon, stated that L.A. by Night "survived Geek & Sundry's decline [...] in no small part to the masterful work of storyteller and series creator Jason Carl". A successor series, New York by Night, began in 2022.[89] In May 2024, Rowan Zeoli of Rascal commented that "the collapse of Geek & Sundry [...] decimated the fledgling actual play industry".[90] Friedman, in an interview with Zeoli, explained that "Critical Role is the only Geek & Sundry show that was able to recover its own episodes. Everything else still belongs to Geek & Sundry, including LA By Night. But Critical Role was as smart as Legendary was dumb. Legendary [the company that owned Geek & Sundry] didn't make them sign a contract until Critical Role LLC had already existed".[90]

Several senior Legendary Digital Networks staff joined Critical Role Productions after it split in 2019, such as Ed Lopez, Rachel Romero, and Ivan van Norman who became head of their tabletop game publishing division Darrington Press.[91][92][93] In addition to Critical Role itself, Critical Role Productions continued airing episodes of Talks Machina until the show was cancelled in 2021.[94] By 2021, Critical Role was the highest earning channel on Twitch.[95] The first campaign, which aired in its entirety during the G&S era, would receive an animated adaptation which began airing on Amazon Prime Video in 2022. Critical Role has also been credited with the renaissance of Dungeons & Dragons in the late 2010s, along with similar shows such as The Adventure Zone.[96][97][98]

Campbell as he takes over as Director of Development! Here's some stuff about him you might not know: "Eric became a full fledged geek the day his grandfather brought home a VHS of Star Trek I, II & III from a garage sale when he was seven. Before becoming the Director of Development for Geek & Sundry, Eric was writing for Felicia Day (The Flog and Felicia’s Ark) as well as Signal Boost! with Sean Becker and Marisha Ray. He’s a veteran Dungeon/Game Master and now has his own show on G&S Twitch called Eric’s TBD RPG. He likes long walks on the beach, trolling fans of Darth Maul and shouting “Qapla’” (Kah-plah: Klingon word for “Success”) after every bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch."
