Thank you for catching this, I was out of town and forgot again! Travic posted:So I'm really getting into Campaign 3, but I'm starting to get hit with spoilers for Campaign 2. I'd heard the spoilers for C2 in C3 were pretty minor so I continued on. I'm on C3E33 and so far I've gotten something about The Cerberus Assembly, someone named Ludinus, and an offhand comment by Liam "I don't want Chetney to die and come back as the big bad" (I knew Molly died, but I didn't know he comes back as a bad guy). It's tough -- in terms of spoilers, the cast made active attempts to avoid them in c2, though a few made their way in. c3 takes some very large cues from c1, but also hits notes of c2 as well. Obviously it can't be said where it'll go, though the cast are more openly discussing the events of both campaigns as they occur now. imo you don't lose anything by having those events referenced (and in fact, an outsider's perspective more closely immerses you with the c3 characters) but it all depends on how much spoilers impact you. By the sound of it, I'd recommend going back to c2 first if you want as close to a clean experience as possible.

The bonus to recording the groups concurrently would be that the 'second' group doesn't get spoiled by anything that happens during the same in-game timeframe to the first group, but the CR folks aren't anyone I'd be worried about with the potential for metagaming. I'd say they probably aren't recording both groups on the same day since an extended party split usually means time allotted for half the group to work on other projects while the other records, but all of them are seemingly in-studio for session kickoffs anyway? Have they ever posted a breakdown of when they typically record any given week's session (like how far in advance, etc.)? I guess we'll see whenever we pick up with group #2 if folks on the internet are able to match outfits with previous session recordings.

I'm really hoping for Lou as well, but the dream would be Lou and Emily both. Emily is amazing at throwing a wrench at the GM, and Lou is a trickster god who took the form of a jovial and chaotic man to entertain us all.

It's restating the obvious, but Mercer's really skilled at using both his words and his diction to paint a very creepy picture. I hope Christian/FRIDA might reconsider the practicality of finding a sniper perch and then needing to reunite with the team. Granted, I don't know if it would have made a huge difference in terms of resources spent, but it definitely made things more complicated. I figured that they were going to find something for coming all the way to this tower, but they haven't been there for long, and may have already found what seems like a key piece of information - Ludinus is seeking the True Name of the Matron. It might be for the best that they woke up the Boss before using some of their few remaining spells on the hidden lock. I'm not sure they would have successfully gotten in a long rest anyway, given all the shed skins all around the tower.

Taliesin as lightkeeper and Matt as GM? Wonder if that means that it's going to be like head to head narratives, Matt vs Taliesin with the players being the chess pieces. Or maybe like Tal doing the narrative bits and Matt being the mechanical side? Either way, I'm interested. I started to listen to Midst too and I really like it. The ways the narratives play out being purposely contradictory and inconsistent gives it a very Lynchian feeling to it.

More content is great, and it sounds interesting and entertaining, but I thought that one of the reasons for taking the last Thursday off was to give Matt a little bit of a break each month. Perhaps he's gotten more efficient in his workflow so that the extra session won't add much more work?

I mean, Matt is also headlining the new season of dimension 20. Though, knowing the workflow with D20, everything was probably recorded for that last year. Brennan mentioned in on the most recent adventuring party with the crew on Never after that they have like 3 seasons recorded and in for editing and post processing at the time that the neverafter finale aired. Crit Role's main show has pretty quick turn around from recording and editing to broadcast by virtue of it being formerly a live show, but that doesn't mean they will necessarily do so with this new thing. They could have shot everything in a batch D20 style and just have everything in the can waiting to air.

I don’t think we’re going to get a long string of episodes with the other group like we are with this one. I think they’ll meet up at some point and the other group will just info dump all the stuff they did. Happy to be wrong but 20ish episodes of split groups might be a bit much.

It'll be like when Taliesin was gone for a week. Just weird story after weird story about some crazy poo poo that happened, and they'll just move on.

It's hard to say, really. Mercer's style is very much player-driven. He could certainly have just sped through the trip there, which would have made things go faster by about one episode, but he made them roll travel checks. I do get the impression that we'll be switching away from the Uthodurn group after they make it back to Uthodurn, but that'll make it about two weeks of in-game time. I think there are probably only two more sessions with the Uthodurn group - one to investigate the tower and maybe another place in the ruins (like under the central tower which seems to be the epicenter of the incident), and a second to finish any investigations, and return to Uthodurn. That would make 8. I think there won't be any fewer than 5 sessions with the second group.

Yeah, the Uthodurn group seems pretty well set up to 'end' their section after they finish in Molaesmyr since they've secured a deal with the Diarchy to get in on some teleportation action at earliest convenience, and there'll probably be something that comes up to forcibly separate Deanna/FRIDA from the main four. I'd be surprised if Matt doesn't transition over to the other group starting in June and he's almost certainly not going to short-change them just to speed through and reunite the party ASAP.
