Critical Role's Campaign 4 premiered on October 2, 2025, marking a significant departure from the series' previous settings and leadership, as it is set in the new world of Aramán and features Brennan Lee Mulligan as the Game Master. The campaign centers on the execution of Thjazi Fang, a revolutionary war hero, whose death brings together a diverse group of characters from different parts of his life to uncover the conspiracy behind his sudden sentencing. The world of Aramán is still reeling from the Shapers’ War, a conflict 70 years prior in which mortals overthrew and killed their seven god-like rulers, the Shapers, leading to chaotic magic, an uncertain afterlife, and a society forced to govern itself without divine oversight.
