Like all the best Dungeon Masters, Matt Mercer knows when to drop a hint. In fact, that's how the Exandria Unlimited miniseries came about. During lunch with Dimension 20's Brennan Lee Mulligan and fellow Critical Role cast-member Travis Willingham, Mercer began talking of his hopes for a limited series.
"Matt talked about, in terms of broadcasting, where different adventures or stories might take place," Brennan said when we caught up to discuss Critical Role's latest miniseries, Exandria Unlimited: Divergence. "[He] was talking about the past, and there was this thing he said about, 'Yeah, we could do stories set here, or exploring this, or even going back to the age of Arcanum.' And there was something in Matt's voice that I immediately latched on to as, like, ooh, that is something that Matt thinks is really cool. And he's right to think it's cool, because it is very cool."
