Critical Role Critical Role's New Show - Exandria Unlimited!

Critical Role is launching a new 8-week D&D 5E campaign on June 24th called Exandria Unlimited.

"Exandria Unlimited is the newest eight episode mini-campaign brought to you by, and existing within, the same world as Critical Role. Following a fresh-faced and freshly formed crew of characters, this adventure begins in Emon, a city still recovering from the scars of the Chroma Conclave attack nearly 30 years later."

I am so hyped for this!

i think the fact they can recorrd their sessions now instead of playing live every thursday means Sam wouldnt leave. he gets his time to work for disney and video games, plus i honestly think with all the subs they have, merch and publishing deals, they make enough to pay everyone on and off screen there and are happy to continue. the only thing i could see happening is another ashley type casting happen where they film aay from california and they cant make it as much. but then again recording would be easier then live. not sure why they kept it live for so long, i guess it's a left over type of thing from when they were able to interact with chat at the start.

It is interesting that they're using the term Game Master, not Dungeon Master. The info page does say it's still D&D 5E though.

i dont know who this new DM is (or GM as they kept saying) since i havent delved into other RPG shows yet

Their break is a great time to rectify this. We should start a thread of recommendations. (The annual nominations thread is just a lot of people yelling names of shows without much more information.)

I may not matter that much, but I always use the term Game Master, be it D&D, Savage Worlds or Call of Cthulhu. I'm never into rule system / setting specific versions of GM.

They also used story teller several times during the preview, they may just be trying to use more inclusive or precise language instead of DM

I would be hard pressed to think they would shift away fro 5E for the main show with all the available tie ends and sponsors that are apart on D&D, but it wouldn't be that surprising to see an EU Christmas break storyline trying out a different system.

I have this lingering feeling that it means someone is leaving - and I'd put my money on Sam.

Why? They are all friends and business partners - why would you think someone is leaving? And what makes you think it would be Sam?

Seems like you are kind of wildly speculating here based on ... I’m not sure what ...

I could see them using other systems for a couple of these Exandria Unlimited spin-off campaigns, though they're clearly sticking with D&D for this first one - the playtest footage included shots of tablets running D&D Beyond.

Not that I have any opinion or insight into that specifically, but friends and business partners can move on and do new stuff when other opportunities present themselves and remain friends. That happens all the time. I'm friends with plenty of people who have worked with me in the past.

Glad to see Mercer get the chance to play in something bigger than a one-shot.

Probably can't advertise using copyrighted and trademarked terms, like "Dungeon Master" or "Dungeons & Dragons"
