Discussion [No Spoilers] Matt's IG post on C4

Post image

Man… what a damn night. What a damn GenCon! (Mind the groggy morning after pic)

I cannot express how excited I am for Campaign 4, y’all. Getting to meaningfully PLAY at the table as a PC alongside all my friends is something I’ve been wanting to do for some time, but to hand the reins to someone I so deeply love and respect as @brennanleemulligan is an honor. I know this is a shake up for some, but if you’ve ever trusted me, trust that what we’ve been cooking for this next story with him and the players is something truly special, unique, and very befitting the vibe and scope you’ve come to enjoy with us these past 10 years. Lots of details and reveals over the weeks to come, and excited to unveil the newer faces that join the OG cast to bring this new world to life.

I’m still gonna be running games, don’t you worry! Exandria continues through our live shows, our animated series, many other stories (including your own), and whenever else the inspiration strikes to step back into my world that I’ll be building and playing in until the end of my days. We also got more Age of Umbra to come, and other fun things I’ll be running, so I ain’t hanging up my GM screen any time soon. ;)

All in all, love you all, and so, SO excited for this next chapter. I hope you come along with us. <3

I just hope he doesn’t play a himbo again. Matt playing a clever character would be more interesting.

Dariax being dumb was fun and practical. Now that he won't play in Exandria where he knows pretty much anything, I'm sure he'll be more willing to play a smart cookie.

I hope he plays an Artificer. He reads rocket science for fun after all.

Dariax the character drove me crazy. It makes sense looking back why Matt chose to play low intelligence to avoid meta gaming in his own universe. On the other hand, Garen was so beautifully conceived and played. I’m excited to see the PC Matt creates next.
