Is it not the same now? Im watching campaign 2, and so many episodes at 4h per episode will take me months and months. How’s campaign 3?

@@user-microburst not as good as campaign 1 and 2. I'm still watching but my gf and friends stopped long ago entirely. Doesn't feel right for some reason.

Like it’s just a day job?

​@@user-microburst I don't personally think it's as simple as that. I'm still watching, and quite enjoy C3, but I've asked myself what precisely is less engaging for many people. I think each campaign has had quite a different tone, and I don't think the cast has ever been totally in control of that. I think a lot of the strengths of previous campaigns have been in largely unexpected or unintended dynamics unfolding, whether directly between players, or between players and Matt/the world. And I have a suspicion that part of why C3 doesn't resonate as much with people is that we haven't had quite as powerful dynamics. To oversimplify, I see VM as bonded by positivity (they feel far more fairy-tale to me); MN as bounded by trauma (which Matt noted wasn't something he expected). But I don't know if I could say something similar for BH. To me, it feels like, if anything, they're kept together by being swept up in the plot. This isn't to say that characters don't have emotional reasons for caring about the plot (almost every character has some deep connection to the plot), but I feel like these often don't interact in interesting ways. I personally feel as though the plot is kind of overpowering the characters (in a story sense, rather than a gameplay sense, although quite often the latter, too). I think it's perhaps telling that one of my friends who stopped watching early in C3 actually started again recently, because the point isn't that the overarching plot of the world is bad; it's just the mismatch between characters and plot. And now that the plot is really pushing in interesting cosmic directions, he's back to watching, but I think more for the evolution of a world he cares about than for how the PCs are interacting with that world. Tbh, this is just me trying to work out people's feelings here. I still enjoy C3; and I think that disappointed fans can point quite a bleak picture. I personally _do_ feel a difference, but I find it hard to tell what people feel is its underlying problem. I really enjoy it, and hopefully fan discourse surrounding it doesn't tint your view of C3 negatively. Best of luck on catching up, friend, and enjoy C2. For me, I think C1 is uncomplicated, and in C2 we get some really quite complex emotions (and no, I'm not classing unresolved disagreement as a complex emotion; in a D&D setting, I think it's arguably the _simplest_ emotion).

I love your point about the plot overshadowing the characters. I think you really hit on something I’ve been trying to figure out myself.

They're at a rock concert.

his what now?

I believe he was a Hollow One which is what Laudna is (basically half-undead)

Yeah. Remember the time that Beau and Nott raced each other to the top of a tree purely to be the first to the top and along the way Nott *shot Beau in the as with a gun?*

@@VegetaLF7Beau makes direct reference to this in C3E115. “Don’t you shoot me in the ass, Brenatto. Think I’ve still got an arrowhead back there from seven years ago.” 😂🤣😭

Wtf

Liam had already gotten involved by hasting Beau, Tal only tried to help even out Jester's disadvantage a little

i mean typically you involve yourself with others when you play a board game together. other people were jumping in too but yeah start digging on the guy you don't like i guess, liam gets a pass from you

@@mac_sour Tal is actually one of my favorites on the show, but You've never noticed how he tries to but himself into other peoples RP? Not hate at all! I think its partially due to "Molly" as a character but yeah he does it a lot more than any others. Again, no hate

@@Kole723 Well yeah, that's kind of the point of a roleplaying game with other people in it.

Jester started it, i thought it was perfect 😂

@@Theresia66 Jester didn’t cheat with haste. Way too op

Brilliant 😂

If memory serves, stats wise, jester is the strongest of the nein with an 18 in strength (I think)

@@tycol322Yasha and Jester both had plus 3 (I think)

@@tycol322 Jester started the campaign with a 16 in strength, 1 point below Yasha, who I’m pretty sure is the strongest since she is a barbarian

Monks are dogshit in PvP. Stunning strike is an absolute broken feature for both pvp and pve.

@@neruba2173literally every fight where Beau is in pvp she does great, so… completely contradicting your statement, lol

@@brett6221 because stunning strike, what did you do in school? Did you read at all?

@@neruba2173 stunning strike is part of monks dude, so ergo, because stunning strike is good, monks are good

@@brett6221 If you take stunning strike away from monks, monks are dogshit. I cant believe I had to explain my first comment, twice.

“BLACK FLASH!!”

honestly i'm not sure there was even a threethrought XD
