Critical Role dungeon master Matt Mercer shared his thoughts on the future of the beloved Dungeons and Dragons web series, considering when his time with the series will end. The iconic tabletop RPG has grown more popular throughout the past decade, with new revisions to the game and the rise of online live-plays. Dungeons and Dragons series like Critical Role, Dimension 20, and Acquisitions Incorporated have helped to bring the game to a massive new audience, attracting new players and bringing in even more eyes. However, Critical Role has easily been among the most notable in the trend.
Critical Role has arguably been the most culturally significant live-play series to come from the Dungeons and Dragons IP. The series, originally DMed by popular actor Matt Mercer, has featured some of the biggest voice talents in the industry, including beloved names like Travis Willingham, Liam O'Brien, and Laura Bailey. The most recent season of Critical Role even saw a new player step into the Dungeon Master position, with Brennan Lee Mulligan leading the fourth campaign. Now, Matt Mercer has officially shared his thoughts on stepping away from the role of DM for Critical Role.
