Early fan reaction on message boards has been mixed. Naturally this will be an exciting release for Critical Role fans. Those who want nothing to do with the series were disappointed by the initial reveal. Rather than do a crossover with a popular show, they would rather see Wizards of the Coast bring back one of its older settings.
As time goes on, though, commenters are beginning to see the exciting prospects this book will bring. Mercer definitely created some exciting options for D&D player characters through Critical Role. New spells and subclasses created with his help will bring dynamic things to the game. For one, we can definitely expect the famous Gunslinger subclass to appear. Even if one isn’t a fan of Critical Role, they have to appreciate a book that brings more options to fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons.
Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount will release on March 17, and can be pre-ordered now (even though you’re not supposed to).
