When Critical Role announced that Campaign 4 would feature a West Marches format, fans were understandably excited. The idea of a rotating cast of players felt fresh for the show, but after a few episodes, the plot-heavy nature of Campaign 4 made it feel quite different from the sandbox narrative playstyle of West Marches. However, 17 episodes in, I finally understand Critical Role’s choice and how the show is leaning into what makes the West Marches format so special.
