Words... what do they all mean?

In tonight's game, ( the rest under a cut for those who don't care. )

And that's where we left off.

Huh. Critical Role just announced that Campaign 4 starts on October 2, but Matthew Mercer is stepping down from being the DM for this campaign and will instead be a player. The GM is going to be Brennan Lee Mulligan, who's DMed several mini-campaigns over the years.

No update yet on the system, but it definitely won't be set in Exandria which is stepping back from some previous comments made when the third campaign first ended. My guess is that the downtime from a long-form campaign led Matt to realize just how burnt out he was. And that led them to deciding to branch out.



There's more information about the announcement in this article.

I'm definitely surprised by the news, but I'm also very curious to see just where they end up going with things. If nothing else, they brought up several times that current events in CR3 were affecting some things they were doing with TLoVM and M9 (their animated series set in the same world), so I'm sure it will help their sanity a bit on that front to not have a ton of new weekly Exandria canon cropping up while they're working on two different animated series.

Since the DM and her wife are currently on their long-delayed honeymoon in France, the rest of us are playing a Daggerheart mini-campaign set in the same world as our main campaign. It's set in a different part of the empire and features different characters, but the world state is the same.
