For those of you who would like to check out the original campaigns, here is a more or less "completionist" set of videos to binge in your spare time (when you are not busy with your other responsibilities) - you might need to bookmark those or copy somewhere into your notes: ruclips.net/video/DYBM3myR914/видео.html "Exandria: An Intimate History" is a short 10-minute video that serves as the definitive chronological reference for the in-game universe of Critical Role campaigns and the works of fiction associated with it. It also provides a glimpse of the Exandrian cosmology, theology, history, geography and political structure of the world in which the characters go on their adventures. ruclips.net/p/PLQRE5geahRYYCgnbidlk-XVIPaob7P2-x Campaign 1 (Vox Machina), with the obligatory inclusion of chronologically relevant one-shot game sessions featuring familiar characters, discussion panels from various conventions etc. (the Briarwoods arc starts at ep. 24, if you want to revisit that specific section). Be advised on the following issues: - the first episodes of the show have blurred character intros (fair use technicalities). In the first episodes they didn't have their own official illustrator, so used reference pictures off the internet. Unfortunately, the Geek & Sundry overlay covered the names of the artists, and it appeared as if CR didn't give them credit where credit was due, so those artists threatened to sue CR for copyright infringement. While the issue resolved itself later, with both the onboarding of Kit Buss and tons of fan art pouring in, in these earlier episodes the intro artwork is blurred out. A version of character intros with visuals is available at: ruclips.net/video/_b1oZmPrpDg/видео.html - audio issues in the first 4 episodes. Viewers are strongly advised against using headphones to prevent eardrum damage. Closed captions provided with the video can help alleviate the problem. - one member of the original cast left the show after ep. 26 of the campaign and is no longer involved in anything related to Critical Role. For this reason, his character never appears in the animated series (as it's his, not CR's, intellectual property). While most of the drama regarding said player happened behind the scenes, it still hurt the community. The details about the incident are googleable, however, proceed with caution. ruclips.net/p/PLX5UqtXlg76n7cwlGrJsQNAI9oU_6g7ej Campaign 2 (The Mighty Nein) - same world, about 20 years later, new adventuring party. ruclips.net/p/PL1tiwbzkOjQzSnYHVT8X4pyMIbSX3i4gz Exandria Unlimited - a "filler" mini-campaign between C2 and C3, featuring Aabria Iyengar as the DM and Matt Mercer as one of the players. ruclips.net/p/PL1tiwbzkOjQydg3QOkBLG9OYqWJ0dwlxF Campaign 3 - current; ongoing; updated weekly; includes lots of spoilers for and cross-references with C1.
I am wondering how they will fit it all in! Season 2 is way bigger than the Briarwood Arc I could see the “big battle” be turned into flashbacks for times sake. I dunno. All I know is I am so keen for it!!!!

I am wondering how they will fit it all in! Season 2 is way bigger than the Briarwood Arc
I could see the “big battle” be turned into flashbacks for times sake. I dunno.
