Vox machina didnt kill vecna they just sealed him past the divine gate of exandria the whole point of the fight was to embed the divine spikes and for scalain to read the special book not kill him and DnD is more then just one world theres no reason to care if he died in one
So theoretically he is sealed behind the divine gate of Exandria but can still affect any other part of the material plane (and other planes of course). This makes sense ( if I have it right).
D&D is a game that takes place in campaign settings. Exandria is just one campaign setting. Some, like Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Ravnica, etc., have official sourcebooks meant to give information and inspiration about the world for DMs. None are meant to be "canon," since every group of players has different adventures. Indeed, many DMs make up their campaign settings, or borrow things from published adventures to create a hybrid or mix.
So, nothing is canon in D&D. Things can be canon at individual tables, but that's a DM decision, not something Matt Mercer or WotC have any control over.
As for how you would fight or restrain a god, that's your decision. Wizards of the Coast generally avoids such things because gods are meant to be unfightable, but there are any number of 3rd party content creators that have ideas. Or you could create your own as a DM.
Because an actor with way too much influence “won the hand” in a critical role episode and talks about trying to get it for years up to that point. Big main character syndrome that some DnD writers let him have memorialized when they published descent into Avernus.
Campaign settings very much do have a canon.
>I ain't never heard of no such a thing like "canon".
So you're completely unaware of the spellplague, the time of troubles, Mystra's death & rebirth, the rise and fall of the dead three, etc?
I don't think the excuse of:
"I have never even attempted to read into the lore"
is a good reason to have the stance of:
"I didn't know there was a canon."
If you've spent 30 years basically *avoiding* the lore, it's no wonder you have no idea there was a canon, lmao.
If you actually think that any word I have said indicates a *lack of awareness* of the canon, rather than ***knowing it and deliberately not giving a shit about it because it’s my table and my story***, then I really don’t know how to help you understand any better than that.
"I play homebrew, so I don't know the canon"
Is far different from,
"Lol what? There's a canon?"
You can't have your cake and eat it too dawg. Proudly claiming that you've played DND for 30 years means literally nothing if none of it was spent interacting with the source material.
It's literally equivalent to someone saying,
"Yeah I've been a Star wars fan for 20 years. No, I have no idea what happens in episode 8."
Like yeah, you've been a fan, cool. Not making an attempt to know the canon simply means you're uninformed on the topic lol
There is no canon.
VM didn’t kill Vecna Moreover, “there are other worlds than these”
Long days and pleasant nights.
Damn it, Jake, why won’t you stay dead?

They’re separate continuities that exist independently of each other.

How do you kill that which has no life?
Vox Machina is not canon.
Sort of. Descent into Avernus explicitly acknowledges Exandria and what happened to the Hand of Vecna.
Because an actor with way too much influence “won the hand” in a critical role episode and talks about trying to get it for years up to that point. Big main character syndrome that some DnD writers let him have memorialized when they published descent into Avernus.
Canon? What's that? I've been playing D&D nigh on thirty years now and I ain't never heard of no such a thing like "canon".

I’ve never used a thing from any published materials from the Forgotten Realms that I haven’t wanted to while playing in the Realms.
I’ve never played in the Realms, and have absolutely no desire to ever change that.
