Matt Mercer Pens Dungeons & Dragons Goodbye Letter⌠Sort Of
Hold onto your d20s, Critical Role fans! Matt Mercer, the game master whoâs basically been DMâing like Gandalf on a caffeine binge, is stepping down from Campaign 4, handing the legendary storytelling torch to Brennan Lee Mulligan from Dimension 20. CEO Travis Willingham gave his blessing: 'Brennan felt like the perfect storyteller to take our community somewhere entirely new.' The series premieres October 2 on CRâs Beacon, Twitch, and YouTube, and spoiler alert: it's not D&D anymore! Marisha Ray hypes it up, saying, 'Weâre not just turning a page â weâre starting a whole new book.' This is nerd cultureâs version of a Netflix reboot, but with more dragons and less budget.
