Exandria Unlimited, new eight episode adventure where Matt is a player. And a new DM! Aabria!

And other new cast members! Ashley Johnson and Robbie Daymond!

I'll be curious who will be off-put by this, namely Matt as a player rather than GM, because "change is scary." I think that this is a good move though. I'll be interested to see what happens past this eight-parter.

While there's obviously good sides to years-long streaming games, I'm a big fan of short, focused campaigns. I love the Dimension 20 short runs and Not Another D&D Podcast's hilariously dopey Hot Boy Summer arc last summer may be the best streaming campaign I've ever heard.

I should add for those who didn't watch the video, there is a confirmation of Campaign 3, and that Mercer will be DMing.

So, Campaign 3 will be done via twitter direct messages?

It sounded like they were planning to have everyone in a non-socially distanced format for C3.

You know, I've been wondering... I assume Mercer wants to explore a new continent as he is so engrossed in worldbuilding, however the remaining continents to seem a bit one-dimensional when compared against Wildemount. Plus, it would be weird for an all-white cast to play a game in Marquet, which is clearly inspired by the Middle East, or the Shattered Teeth, inspired by Asian cultures.

I then remembered this document the Mighty Nein found;

"I continue to find an aberration in my data pertaining to Exandria, a cyclical, months-long, slow surge in low-level magical interference that then recedes just as slowly. Something that tangles my readings and upsets my analysis. It is too faint to identify the arcane nature at source, but I worry if this pertains to to the shifting between the veils. It could be something very interesting. Something very frightening. Very wonderful. More tests are required." - Planerider Ryn.

It would be interesting if the next campaign wasn't on a new campaign at all, but started instead in a extraplaner city, essentially whatever Mercer's version of Sigil would be. From there, a lot of planar jumping, spelljammer stuff, etc.

Just an idea! They often do a lot of extraplanar stuff, but I found that quote above interesting, like Mercer was considering reformatting his planar map.
