#exandria unlimited: divergence

[wardensantoineandevka]

From the State of the Role, there is gonna be an ExU: Divergence!!! Cast is Matthew Mercer, Liam O'Brien, Jasmine Don, Alex Ward, and Celia Rose Gooding with GM Brennan Lee Mulligan. Four episodes, starting February 13.

Exandria Unlimited: Divergence is a four-week miniseries that will pick up the pieces in the wake of Calamity. As the Prime Deities construct the Divine Gate, join us as the mortals of Exandria rebuild their shattered world and learn to live without the Gods walking among them.

Brennan Lee Mulligan and Liam O’Brien have an opportunity to do some of the saddest, most angsty gay shit in all of dungeons and dragons if they play their cards right here.

The latest issue of Vestiges Magazine!

I love fake zines. This is my contribution to @artists-guild-of-exandria calamity event. I'll post individual pics of everyone, WIP/Process, and detail shots later.

First is the cover, then some interior ads.

So Divergence has gotta be CR’s way of easing the fandom into this uncharted new Exandria without the gods’ influence, right?

Ngl I am *vibrating* at the idea of Brennan GMing a post apocalyptic Exandria

I am so excited for this next series!! I wonder if they’re going to RP as the gods again

[setsailforthestars]

Liam O'Brien in Calamity ohhhh it's all I ever wanted 😩😩

[marvelousbelladonna]

Big points made during the newest State of the Role

Sadly February 6th will be Campaign 3’s finale. It will be 8:30 hours long!

Next miniseries will be Exandria Unlimited: Divergence

Campaign wrap up will be March 13th, covering all campaign and miniseries

[rexdosethings]

Exandria unlimited divergence is such a perfect series to follow the end of c3 because no matter what happens we will start a new age of sorts where the rules of change forever. Divergence will provide the road map of people navigating a fundamentally different environment and living/moving forward.

It's perfect, giving the audience the opportunity to see people navigate a challenging time and live through it to get to what we know

[technoturian]

Brennan doing another Exandria Unlimited??? WITH CELIA ROSE GOODING???? It may be called Divergence but my interests are all converging.

[ludinusdaleth]

so we all agree matts probably playing lud in divergence then

[lunarleylines]

I feel like all of Dropout's content is at least a little bit like that, in that it's all shows where various cast members get to put their own queer and/or neuro-divergent flair onto goofing around with friends.

Game Changer is Sam getting to throw budget at his pet project at the company he saved that allows him to fuck with his comedian and writer friends in silly ways, and then often give them an expensive prize for putting up with him.

Make Some Noise is perhaps the more literal Whose Line, because they had so much fun with the setup on Game Changer they did it like 3 or 4 times and decided to just have that be its own thing and give their writers a chance to keep making silly prompts.

Um, Actually is Trapp capitalizing on how silly various pieces of nerd culture can be while making fun of shitty misogynists and showcases some incredible moments of info-dumping.

Breaking News is Grant O'Brien making his friends say stupid or embarrassing shit with a straight face to see how long it takes them to break, and occasionally the rest of them making Grant share his own ridiculous and embarrassing life stories in retaliation.

Dimension 20 is Brennan and friends condensing various tabletop campaigns into a dozen or so episodes each where he generally gets to pit them against the real bad guys, capitalism and religion.

Dirty Laundry is Lily basically doing story time as a drinking game, by convincing everyone to share weird and surprising stories about their past, wording it in the goofiest way possible, and then getting everyone else to guess whose story it is. Also Grant is there to be slutty and show off how much of a hipster bartender he can be.

Play It by Ear is Zach and Jess doing improv musical numbers, which is exactly what it sounds like.

There are other mostly older shows from before CollegeHumor completely died that have some funny bits in them, etc., but the new content is generally where its at.

Side-notes, for tabletop fans: - The 4 episode "prequel" game Brennan ran for Critical Role called Exandria Unlimited: Calamity is an amazing piece of entertainment and worth a watch if you've got the time. - In addition, the Dimension 20 campaign Misfits and Magic is also only 4 episodes, is run by Aabria, and is literally going "hey, what if teenagers from our world had read Harry Potter and then got to go to a magical school and do magic but also point out how it doesn't make any fucking sense, wouldn't that be wild?" It's great, check it out.

Game changer is like whose line is it anyway made by autistic people, does that scan

[makewavesandwar]

being someone who saw ExU before watching campaign 1 is very strange because the sphinx under Vasselheim starts telling them about powerful relics and I’m like

[humaninpogresss77]

As a person that has never played DnD before; I'm not complete sure what levels can we metagame certain stuffs, but I have some questions that I would love to discuss with the critical role fandom.

I would love to ask Aabria directly, but I would never bother our queen with something like these.

So I hope if someone have the time to answer and talk about this I would love to(this is question mostly around Opal so if you don't like the character you can ignore this).

Spoilers under the cut.

I was curious about Zerxus's new weapon. During the episode I was almost sure it was a vestige of divergence like Opal's circlet.

But reading a little about it I found out is not actually a vestige but an item called arms of the betrayers.

And reading a little more turns out each betrayer has an arm of the betrayer. Lolth has the Silken Spite.

So I ask, what would happen if a champion of a betrayer god gets a vestige and the arm? How would that work?

Or the betrayer can have two champions? One with the vestige and one with the arm?

What would happen if Opal gets the circlet and the Silken Spite?
