So as fans await what may come from Campaign 3 of the core CR cast, Unlimited looks to offer a new vantage point into the world of Exandria".

[11] Exandria Unlimited: Divergence follows a group of average people who flee Rybad-Kol, where they had been imprisoned in service of the Strife Emperor during the Calamity, and their survival after a cataclysm.

[13] Divergence focuses on mortals rebuilding the world after the destruction of the Calamity as the Prime Deities construct the Divine Gate which will remove all gods from Exandria.

[3][17] In March 2022, Critical Role announced that the two-part adventure continuation, titled Exandria Unlimited: Kymal, would be released at the end of the month.

[14][16] Marisha Ray, creator of ExU and creative director of Critical Role Productions, highlighted that the franchise decided to run ExU to both explore new aspects of Exandria and to avoid burnout for the main Critical Role cast, especially Matthew Mercer—creator of the Exandria campaign setting and the main campaign's Dungeon Master.

[21] Mulligan credits Mercer, Ray, lore keeper Dani Carr, and producer Kyle Shire for helping him "define this time period" and "supporting his vision".

[23] The first season is helmed by Iyengar and features Critical Role cast members Ashley Johnson, O'Brien, Mercer as players.

[5][6][7] Anjali Bhimani, who was previously an ExU guest star,[26][27] also reprised her role as the fire genasi monk Fy'ra Rai.

It features Iyengar and Critical Role cast members Ray, Sam Riegel, Travis Willingham as players along with newcomers Lou Wilson and Luis Carazo.

It features Critical Role cast members Mercer and O'Brien as players along with newcomers Jasmine Don, Alex Ward, and Celia Rose Gooding.

[34] The episode then picked up with Iyengar as the Dungeon Master with Mercer, Daymond, Carrero, Bhimani, and Lindbeck reprising their player roles from Kymal.

[39] Zerxus Ilerez, played by Carazo, appears in the third season of The Legend of Vox Machina (2022) which is an animated adaptation of Critical Role's first campaign.

[40] Chris King, for Polygon in July 2021, commented that the show's episode length is a potential barrier of entry and that the opening hook "can leave newcomers feeling as though they're missing something".

[42] Jennifer Melzer, for CBR in August 2021, wrote that "Iyengar's style is incredibly different from Critical Role's main Dungeon Master Matthew Mercer [...].

While both approach Dungeons & Dragons wholeheartedly with the story in mind, Iyengar went above and beyond at times to see her players flesh out their in-game vision in ways some DMs may consider controversial – but it worked".

[43] Melzer highlighted that early poor dice rolls led to the characters' rough start, "however, their struggles became incredibly endearing".

While it may not be entirely feasible for Critical Role to turn EU into a weekly campaign, there is certainly room (and fan desire) to at least see the cast more often.

[...] The success of the side-series and number of plot threads left dangling make it all but inevitable that the Crown Keepers will reappear at some point, hopefully in a more permanent fashion".
