That's the actual quote from the article. It could be implying that Brandon is taking over the next campaign, but to me it sounds like he'll be visiting as an occasional GM the same way he did for events around campaign 3. That's cool, I think. The entire crew thrives on collaboration.

Mulligan will serve as Game Master for the full duration of Campaign 4

Mulligan takes over the role from Critical Role’s staple Game Master, Matt Mercer, who will be taking “a bit of a breather” this campaign

Nah, it really sounds like Mercer has no plans to GM any of Campaign 4. I'd imagine he'll GM a one-shot here or there during the campaign. But it's going to be such a different era. Can't say I blame Mercer. He has to have been absolutely eating, breathing, dreaming, and thinking absolutely nothing but GM prep since they first premiered on Geek and Sundry early in Campaign 1. I'm exhausted just imagining it.

I do hope he plays as a player, though.

I have yet to watch any Dimension 20 or otherwise see Mulligan in action. Not to say I doubt him or anything. But I'll be seeing Mulligan as GM for the first time with CR Campaign 4. It'll be wild to see. I'm looking forward to it, but I imagine it'll be an adjustment.

Edit: Ok. I'm watching the official Campaign 4 announcement on the CR YouTube channel and they do confirm that Matthew Mercer will be playing a character in Campaign 4.

Check out exandria unlimited calamity. I watched that first and couldn’t really get into MM gmed CR campaigns afterward.
