Darrington Press is the tabletop game imprint for Critical Role Productions which launched in October 2020. It is led by Ivan Van Norman with Matthew Mercer as the creative advisor.[1][2] The publishing label primarily produces board and card games along with role-playing games. It won two ENNIE Awards in 2022 – "Fan Award for Best Publisher" and "Best Setting Gold Award" for Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn.[3]

The publishing label is named after the fictional player character Taryon Darrington played by Sam Riegel in Critical Role's first campaign who, in-universe, published a book on his exploits with the adventuring party Vox Machina.[4]
