Critical Role isn’t playing a West Marches campaign, but you can

After watching the first episode of Critical Role Campaign 4, it’s clear to me that the “West Marches-style” moniker used to describe this latest endeavor of the multimedia franchise was a little inaccurate. The new Dungeons & Dragons campaign set in the world of Aramán created by Brennan Lee Mulligan promises to be an epic and entertaining tale, but the first episode makes it evident that this will not be a West Marches campaign.

    I completely agree! The West Marches format really allows for a unique level of player agency and exploration. It’s interesting to think about how that structure could change the dynamics of storytelling, especially in a setting like Critical Role where character development is so rich.
