Critical Role's new DM wants you to know he's absolutely fine running a D&D game for 13 people and 3 groups: 'This is my favorite thing in the world'

The 14-strong cast for Critical Role assembled in a large group shot.

Critical Role's next campaign is almost here—and it's a huge shake-up for the long-standing D&D actual-play titan. Brennan Lee Mulligan will be taking over the DM seat from Matthew Mercer, while also continuing to run Dimension 20 campaigns and recording sessions of Worlds Beyond Number.

But that's not all. Campaign 4 will also be a "West Marches" style game with 13 entire players split over three groups. It's an incredible undertaking I have absolute faith he can pull off, but also, is he okay? I get bent out of shape trying to run a bi-weekly Pathfinder 2e game while maintaining a full-time job, and that's just for my friends, not the entire internet.
