Dungeons & Dragons (0.85) and D&D Beyond (0.85) sit at the top of Critical Role's neighbor set — but the second-strongest pull in the top 10 is a cluster of actors, not tabletop gaming brands.

The shape is two-peak. One peak is clearly tabletop and fantasy IP: Dungeons & Dragons at 0.85 and D&D Beyond at 0.85 are the two closest neighbors, with Wizarding World of Harry Potter (0.76) and Magic: The Gathering (0.76) extending that cluster. The second peak is actors: Chris Pratt (0.82), Ben Savage (0.75), Nathan Fillion (0.75), Bruce Campbell (0.75), and Tom Felton (0.74) all land in the top 10. That's five actors in the top 10, making them the dominant subcategory by count — more than any single gaming or franchise brand. Doctor Who (0.78), a TV show, bridges the two peaks, sitting between the fantasy-IP cluster and the actor cluster. No other podcast or radio channel appears in the top 10; Last Podcast on the Left is the only fellow Podcasts and Radio entry in the broader neighbor set, appearing well outside the top 10. Critical Role's own subcategory is essentially absent from its nearest neighbors, which means the audience shape it shares most closely belongs to genre-fandom actors and tabletop IP — not other podcasts.

The top 10 reveals an audience that bridges organized fantasy gaming and the specific strain of genre-adjacent celebrity fandom associated with sci-fi and fantasy actors.
