What features of the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount are you most excited to check out? Will you be playing a campaign in this new setting?

[straightedgeucator]

Exandria now outlives him, he has made something that will still be here after he’s gone; that has to be an amazing feeling

[primeemperor]

"Your world is now an official part of DnD."

Matt has achieved the highest honor as a DM, and he deserves every bit of it.

Liam said it best last thursday "Our Canon is canon"

[mcswaggerduff]

This man is holding back tears, he cares so much. Bless him and all he does for us.

[hunterknox]

Matt's face when he realized that his setting is the first completely new setting to be released since Eberron is precious.

[kronografisk]

God, I love this man. Always so freaking humble when he has no reason to be. The hallmark of a good human being.

[draxthewarlocktitan]

I’m already exited to run a game set in Wildemont around 25 years after campaign 2 where Kiri a Kenku rogue is the senior member of an adventuring group called the Mighty 9. The founding members have moved on to a post-adventuring life but Kiri keeps the groups name alive with everyone she “Welcomes to the Mighty Nein”

i'm personally not into critical role as a show. i prefer playing d&d than watching it. but listening to what this book is about and what it offers makes me excited for its contents and a planned buy. it's nice that Matt mercer has decided to form it for more than just his fans.

[jonmichael]

Matt Mercer is the most genuine dude on the internet

[maverikvii]

Matt Mercer is a national treasure. So humble and full of joy for D&D. You can tell he loves it and just wanted to do right by both the critters and D&D players in general. Bless you sir. Bless you.

[ryanroyce]

It occurs to me that, even though she will likely be referred to only by her titles of Everlight and Dawnflower, the Pathfinder deity Sarenrae will also be added to official D&D because of this book. : )

[Joshinaround_]

You can see the spark in Matt's eye when he talks about this incredible project, and I'm super excited to bring my party into the vast, lore-filled world of Wildemount. Super proud of our sweet DM-sama for making something near and dear to his heart.

Fjord: "Ooooh, "Fortunes Fancy'!"
Caleb: "Fortune's it is fancy"

[lloyddodgen]

So proud of these guys and their accomplishments. It's so amazing to see those have dreams, go all in, and win. Not only that, but stay humble and kind. Critical Role got me back into D&D and I'm so grateful for them.

[MichaelEasterby]

Love how he's behind a screen even for just an interview :p Definitely looking forward to getting this book!

[Mr.Rickmon]

I can’t wait for the Echo Knight and all other new information.

[daniellejeanclynes]

What an amazingly creative and generous guy. He’s so heartfelt with everything he does. I’m so thrilled that we get to canonically explore his world.

[jessicaryan]

Matt Mercer - a modern day Tolkien... and you know what - he's only just getting started

[davidmurrell]

I'm so proud for Matt, but so VERY jealous. He has achieved the life I have been trying to get for the last 35 years. If he wasn't such a fantastic human being I would resent what he had achieved, but man he deserves all the good things. He really is the best ambassador of our hobby. So all power to him and may he long live the life I wish I had.
