I'm watching C1 and I cannot wait for them to animate Pike shooting a crit level 3 Guiding Bolt up Umbrasyl, the Hope Devourer's posterior. The Chroma Conclave arc really hooked me, as someone who's bounced off of C1 before.

C1 had really fun, solid arcs that fit right into the classic “D&D adventure” tropes. As basically everyone has said at this point, C2 is more nuanced in tone and character, but that can make it a slog sometimes (in my own personal opinion, of course).

Unless there is community drama we rarely have much to talk about other than the current episode, and most of that discussion tends to happen as the episode airs or shortly after it. Bear in mind there will be people (like me) who avoid the thread entirely for weeks if they get behind for any reason until they have a chance to catch up. It definitely affected my posting in this thread (some might call that a plus  )

Mage_Boy posted:Thri-Kreen are Dark Sun originally, but that is the other rumored set to come back as well. Doubt that would get a mention in Critical Role, but who knows if they get to do one-shots as pre-releases/promos for WotC going forward. I don't think Dark Sun is ever going to come back because the setting essentially revolves around slavery. With BG3 coming out in the next four years I could easily see Spelljammer and Planescape though.

Yeah, wrestling is a decent example of something that has separate liveposting threads for 2-3 hour shows but it also has a volume of posts that can justify it. Even still, the main GDTs don't use spoiler tags except for leaks or other pre-taped VOD stuff, which I think is also the subforum rule for it here. I agree it's not exactly ideal for people who fall behind but the other option is just turning the thread into a nonstop wall of black bars, and I can't imagine goons consistently using spoiler tags let alone using them properly and providing context for their spoilers.

Still one of my favorite moments in C2 was Matt preparing these elaborate rules for ship-to-ship combat then the group did what they always do and ruin his plans with some clever use of abilities. Welp!

I'd be stoked if they brought back Planescape and Matt ran something for it, either as part of the larger campaign or for something else. I really enjoyed the City of Brass and Dis and I only spoilered those because someone in the thread is going through C1 now.

Honestly, the best systems for that I've seen are stuff like the FFG Star Wars system or Modiphius Star Trek one, that both abstract it a lot, and also use basically the same mechanics as normal combat, just subbing the ship's stats in for the PC's at the appropriate times. Otherwise you end up with stuff like the DMG's version or the Starfinder one, where you're stuck trying to get players to realise that literally turning the ship is a separate action to it moving.

The very first adventure ever published in the setting has the PCs as slaves who are escaping from slavery. Fighting for freedom against entrenched slave owning authority is also the core of the setting.

Honestly Matt has said he really likes Spelljammer stuff in the past, and the CR crew has kind of done it all on Exandria. I'd be totally on board for them to stumble across a plane-traversing ship from the Age of Arcanum at around level 5 (low enough to be in WAY over their heads for this kind of thing) and just start jet-setting across the planes.

Matt also said he likes Planescape. Shame they've tied their brand so tightly to Exandria. It's Matt's baby, obviously, but it could be a lot more interesting to see them play in some of the less standard settings. Not just fantasy versions of medieval places but something weird, wild like the Outlands where all the planes collide or Sigil or even space.

I think that's how a lot of the old Spelljammer adventures started, regular old dungeon crawl with a crashed/repairable ship getting found at the end. I just really like Spelljammer, I doubt they'll actually be doing it.

I mean, if he wanted to I'm sure Matt could come up with some new planes, and I figure the standard d&d plane stuff (abyssal, elemental planes, etc.) aren't going to be much of a hassle to use in other properties, especially since they're getting along with WotC nicely. That just leaves the "we found a ship that goes between planes" aspect as a spelljammer-y IP conflict, and there's got to be a way to make that more generic. Happy fun ball, but it lets you hop around planes while you're in that interdimensional space it creates. A full size house that can hop between planes using magic. Or if they don't want to care about having a proper area/home based to hang out in (though they absolutely should have that), just find a magic item that'll planeshift plenty of people from plane to plane without needing to have the spell. That could even be a fresh vestige of divergence (it's certainly a strong enough effect to be one) that the party as a whole could level up over time to create some new effects, or unlock new destinations. Maybe it's a sentient item with its own agenda. It'll take you to certain planes, but it'll want you to do something while you're there before it'll take you to the next one, or back to the prime material plane. Basically I'm pretty sure if they want to get funky with it, they can. Matt's also brought up the idea of doing actual space stuff (build a rocketship and go explore the physical cosmos), and that'll certainly let them do cool spaceship stuff that shouldn't infringe on spelljammer at all.

I’d be shocked if more space stuff didn’t come up in this campaign, just because of the module being published. Seems too conspicuous to explicitly call out Ruidus and not do anything with it.

I don't look at this thread when I am behind on episodes. I primarily *in voice of Uk'otoa voice* CONSUME via podcast. It does suck not to be able to come into this thread. I'm EST and have a day job and kids, there's no way I'll ever be able to livewatch a show. I like thinking about the lore and world-building, but don't want spoilers. I also image those that aren't able to livewatch/want to avoid spoilers are not well represented in this thread since they've learned to stay away. Back to the discussion about the moons, I was running a campaign that had the moons as a central plot point. It was fun to build off of them since they have been relatively ambiguous in cannon CR stuff so far. I'll be looking forward to getting the new campaign book.

This show is broadcast Thursday. It is re-broadcast Friday morning. If you can't make those, it is put up on YouTube on Monday. Asking that everyone who watches it live/semi-live to wait until you've had leisure time to catch up seems a bit of a bridge too far for me. Living in the EST I understand the difficulties around a live-view, but I also wouldn't expect those who do to abstain from commentary and enjoyment just because I might not be able to do so. If you can't watch it live, just exercise the tiniest bit of self-control and don't click on this thread until you've caught up. Seriously, unless you've got a scorching-hot take about a week-old episode, there really isn't any reason not to. (no, Twitter-drama doesn't count -- it's stupid and it isn't worth it)

Also it's a bit extreme to get this mad about someone saying they can't keep up in the same way as others, like come on man "*I* wouldn't expect others (me) to consider me (you) when consuming media we both enjoy" is peak selfish rear end in a top hat talk.

To be a little more measured: Is there any other show in TV IV that airs in a regular timeslot but liveposting is discouraged (and yes, requiring spoiler tags is going to discourage live-posting)?
