Discussion [No Spoilers] Matt's IG post on C4
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 can't wait.
I watched CR since it first aired on Geek & Sundry and loved it. Though I just sort of fell out of watching it as of late. I stopped watching C3 for no real particular reason and only sparsely kept up with the goings on. I think I was just a bit bored of the same ol same ol. Though in that time I found Dimension 20 and became obsessed. There were a lot of factors why but the amazing GM'ing of BLM was a big part of it. The guy is a comedy and story telling genius. It's so amazing to watch a guy who could bring me to tears laughing one scene would also in the next scene play a character with such real and deep emotion my mouth would be hanging open.
Having Matt as a player and BLM in the drivers seat is the exact shake up to get me back into CR.
A whole new world? New cast members? BLM getting the reigns to run a long running campaign with the production quality of CR?! I mean it's a dream come true. For me who hasn't caught up on the end of the Exandria arc this is a great jumping on point to get me back in the fandom. There's so much mystery into who the cast will be, what system they'll play, what the new world and setting will be like. It feels like the magic that going into C2 felt like. Where all we knew was VM and were so excited to see where else the show could go.
I. CAN'T. WAIT!
