Critical Role announced a new mini-series, Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, featuring Dimension 20’s Brendan Lee Mulligan and more.
That’s right, Critical Role has a new series, and they’ve teamed up with the folks at Dimension 20 to bring you a D&D campaign the likes of which you’ve never seen before. Next week, Exandria Unlimited: Calamity takes over Critical Role. Campaign 3 takes a temporary break as Calamity fills in for the next five Thursdays, running from May 26th to June 23rd. The main campaign returns June 30th.
If you’re not sure why this is exciting news, read on.
Exandria Unlimited: Calamity
For starters, Brennan Lee Mulligan is an incredibly talented DM. He captures humor and heart, which you can see in Dimension 20’s many shows, like Fantasy High or A Crown of Candy. But the cast that Critical Role has assembled looks like it’ll be extremely fun:
We are very happy to announce that our Game Master for this adventure will be none other than Brennan Lee Mulligan (Dimension 20)! We are honored to have Brennan join us at the table and help build the story of Exandria.
Brennan will guide an incredible group of players including our very own Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham! We will also have our previous Exandria Unlimited Game Master, Aabria Iyengar, returning on the other side of the table as a player AND two brand new faces to Exandria: Luis Carazo and Lou Wilson.
Okay but what’s the story here? What will we be watching?
Exandria Unlimited: Calamity follows six distinguished heroes from the Age of Arcanum as they uncover an insidious corruption beneath a city that they’ve sworn to protect. This is a story where Exandria’s greatest minds could not—or would not—see the truth before it was too late. These mighty protectors will do everything in their power in an attempt to prevent the inevitable…The Calamity.
In the realm of Exandria, there are unlimited stories to be told and just as many storytellers to tell them. Each Exandria Unlimited campaign serves as a jumping on point and does not require previous knowledge of any other Critical Role campaigns to tune in! As a reminder, the Calamity takes place almost a thousand years prior to the events of our very first campaign, Vox Machina.
So come take a look at Exandria’s past. The Calamity is one of the seminal events in Exandria. Find out what happens when the gods go to war. Or how how the Vestiges of Divergence came to be. It’s unexplored territory. And that’s exactly what Exandria Unlimited is all about. Exploring the stories in the corners of the world. The stuff you want to see on screen, but would need too much to be their own story. Now, over five episodes, you’ll get exactly that. Can anyone prevent the Calamity?
Probably not. But if you just want to see what happens when chaos agents careen into each other, you’ll want to tune in on May 26th.
