#CriticalRole #StateoftheRole #Campaign3 #Divergence #10years
An 8.5 HOUR finale? _Plus_ a one hour tailgate beforehand? I think that means we're legally entitled to a 30 minute lunch break and two 15 minute breaks.
Nah, you're designated as an independent contractor.
@@Lord_zeelcan we critters unionize?
@@flustrator i like this idea
@@flustrator I feel like there's literally - already one in the works
That is about normal for a finale. I don't understand why people thought it was going to be short. I know the other finales were about 7.5 hours, but there is a lot to go over
Ashley must be soo happy. After years of 'Can we play more!" we see her just reward!
Monkey's Paw, anyone?
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking!
@@ShawnLevasseur *Mister's Paw
I am astounded that Chetney survived to the last episode of the campaign.
The last thing we'll see in C3 is Bell's Hells going to sleep and Chetney not waking up
A stubborn old man is hard to get rid of.
@@gabrielrossi853 That would be the funniest ending 😂
@samusamu5342 the ultimate rocks fall.
Everyone sleeps chet rolls a 100 🐺
hes the epiphany of every "quick random character destined to die without backstory" character with funny name who, by everyones surprise, will be until the very epic ends of a campaign. but now we have recorded proof that those characters indeed happen.^^
"January has been such a long year" I FEEL THAT
My job had that posted on their greeting sign board. I had to laugh.
This is definitely the longest January ever
March 2020 was a long year, too.
Been one of the best years we’ve had in many years and only a month in.
@stevennewman4778 Dude, I know you're riding a high because your poster boy finally won an election after crying about losing one for 4 years straight but it has not been the best year for a lot of people. I'm sure all of the people who died and lost their homes in the biggest wildfire in the country don't feel the same, I'm sure the homeless doesn't care who's in office one way or another and the 67 people who recently died in a plane and helicopter crash including their families don't feel the same either. I'm sure the list will continue to grow every week so please save that crap for yourself.
Brennan and Liam at the same table is going to be so lighthearted and fun! 😊
I had to fight not to actually squee as my husband is asleep in the next room.
Brennan Liam AND Alex as just people in a world after the dystopian calamity 😍
Liam, lighthearted?
“Lighthearted and fun”………😰
Got it! Bringing tissue.
Just two happy storytellers!
Y'all, I don't believe that this is them leaving Exandria behind. The fact that we're getting Divergence AFTER the campaign finale, I don't think they'd end their time with Exandria on a side story. I do, however, think we'll be jumping quite a bit of time ahead, so that C4 will have no story connections to previous campaigns
I tend to agree. Business-wise, it would be a really risky move. They have so many stuff connected to Exandria already, between books, animations, merch and such.
Or it’s gonna be like the other ones where it’s far enough out that a lot has settled. Probably another 20-30 years.
Oh no, we might lose Percy next campaign!
Yeah I really hope it’s not a different “universe” but I’m excited to see what’s coming
@@cordelgooden2653 But we might get a DeRolo heir in C4?
Mayhaps Gwendolyn?
I think they're gonna pull some sort of world-reset event/very big time jump. Something like that. I think that Divergenec may actually be about that, in fact.
8 Hours is a whole work schedule
Welp guess I'm sleeping thru next Friday lol
perfect for my 8 h shift just a few hours later
Campaign 2 had an 8+ hour finale, I think.
The Mighty Nein finale was 7hrs 3mins
Facts 🤣🤣🤣
8+ hour finale is cool but all I want is an announcement that Robbie is staying on full-time.
As much as I’d love him to as well I don’t think he will. He’s already part of a comedy trio with Max Mittelman and Ray Chase, and they go to every convention with each other. They also started their own video game company and release their first game in a couple weeks.
They don't need to announce what we already know
I hope they finally force Travis to play a gay character.
@@josephwhitaker6990 He still can. He's coming to my home convention without either one of them. It just takes some balance, but everyone has their own side projects too. It's how Matt was able to DM for all of Campaign 3 while also being Ganondorf and Vincent Valentine and other projects he's had.
@winstonsmith8565 i know it's supposed to be a joke but imagine if the roles were reversed. You would feel weird about forcing a gay person to play a straight person right?
The Avengers Endgame of Critical Role
MAN good luck for whoever edits the finale for abridged.
The Abridge for the finale is going to be as long as a regular Critical Role episode. lol
they can make it a multi part vod
Also, pray for Flando.
Gay.
So excited to see EXU: Divergence. Brennan has been such an amazing dm for his EXU series and to have Matt and Liam as players this time round I'm so looking forward to the magic they'll be making.
I shouted at the screen in excitement for that announcement. Every time Brennan is on CR it's magic.
And Tragedy!!
Thank God it's Brennan, I can't see any other guest dm doing it justice Brennan is just so good
Stockpiling kleenex now, Brennan is a master breaker (of hearts) -- can't wait!!
Yea but this is BMs 4th or 5th time. It's time for a new dm
an EIGHT HOUR GAME??
guys, i have WORK THE NEXT DAY
Nope. That is work now.
Do you tho? Do you? I think I hear a bit of a sniffle. And your tires are flat. And you have a sudden child with a cold.
Why not just 2 episodes? D:
No you don't.
Good luck
Ashley finally roled high enough for her "can we keep going for just another hour?" persuasion checks. Multiple times.
Bells Hells was my introduction to CR. Tge fact that i started in september & am now fully caught up & its ending next week is actually such a mindf*ck. Time truly is a weird soup.
well you got Mighty Nien and Vox Mochina to listen through as well at least ;)
I just started CR 2 months ago and I am about 27 episodes in to c3 so , this is weird. But I am glad I can join the lives for c4 when it comes out
Same! I have since watched all of Vox Machina and I'm on Episode 123 of 143 (adding the 2 parter Might Nein Reunited) of The Mighty Nein.
u came in at a bit of a low point c1 and c2 are better by far
Same
Massive ending episode for a new Exandria, new EXU, and tiding everything up. Honestly sounds great, I think it's going to be a well thought out 'reconstruction' of Exandria, or maybe even new setting for Campaign 4. Looking forward to everything!
The Divergence is placed right after the Calamity have ended, after the gods locked themselves up behind the Divine Gate. Don't know how that would shape a new world for Campaign 4? We do not know what will happen with the gods past Campaign 3.
@@Dragonited The setup for that shakeup will be the eight and a half hour long finale of Campaign 3. Divergence will probably be showing how we got started on the eventual path that would lead us to that finale.
@@viktorradosavljevic702 I was thinking the same, 'tidying everything up' in a sense of overall story of Exandria, but not necessarily chronologically
I knew these were filmed in advanced but I had no idea it was a whole month ahead. I kept wondering why they never mentioned the fires in any of their shows after it happened, I just assumed they needed time to think about how they would address what happened
I didn't know they were that far ahead either, I assumed they were basically just recording episodes a week ahead.
Makes me question even more why they missed episides if they're that far ahead...hmmm
@@mattdragon80 Well, the crew still has to air the episode, so there is probably a lot of behind the scenes stuff that goes with airing. So, even if they have the episodes ready, it would be cruel to expect the crew to work while their houses burn down.
Technically not that far ahead. Only 2 weeks. Remember we skipped a week plus this charity week.
@Kyuukami they don't even need to be in the same state to air the episodes though soni don't even know if their homes were affected. And if they were gives them something to take their minds off and earn them some money because I'm sure they don't have insurance or a backup plan because they live in an area that is highly prone to "natural" disasters such as earthquakes and forest fires, I mean they have building codes and special firefighters because of these reasons.
EU critters saying good bye to their sleep schedules & just the following day as we speak
Fr, 6pm pacific is Friday 3am where I'm from.... I'm fucked 🤣🤣
est folks have it damn bad too as well. 10pm to 6:30 am, that's just straight up the average sleep block.
Nah, got to work for a living, alas.
I mean, it's gonna be 6am or so when it finishes for me.
bassically umm cancel your plans till Monday of the following week for; american footbal reference that I don't understand, 8h of endless snacking and possibly rivers of tears, in the event of having conked out mid way through stalk the rebroadcasts till you find your spot again and continue sobbing, proceed to spend the rest of the weekend sleeping and processing. Monday resume as normal (somehow)
I've been suffering from debilitating health issues these past few months that keep me largely bedridden and very depressed. You guys are keeping me alive and keeping me from losing hope.
I am in a similar situation, bedridden due to knee surgery and already clinically depressed. Nothing is fun except a little CR campaign. Get well soon.
They did this for me too! I was really going through it during covid. I had surgery right before covid broke out and I spent many days binging campaign 1 and 2
*hugs*
Hang in there bud, so long as you're trying hope is alive
❤❤❤
I really hope BH hasn't forgotten about telling FRIDA about FCG
I just kinda assumed it happened "off screen"
Gay robots. How fun. I'm a little surprised they have any straight fans left.
@winstonsmith8565 why you so homophobic? Need to do some soul searching? Questioning some things?
@@winstonsmith8565 they're genderless sentient machines. Neither of them have genitalia. Their players are both male but that doesn't make the robots gay.
@@winstonsmith8565 Most straight people don't care if a chacarter is gay or straight. So I guess they have plenty of those left.
I've had a freaking baby since campaign 3 started. What a crazy three years it's been.
omg congrats make sure you get them addicted to CR at a very young age so they don't struggle with catching up
I feel that, I have 3 new niece/nephews since campaign 3 started
And I got married... never thought of it like that!
For sure. I met the love of my life, got a new home, got married and found out I'm autistic. Crazy stuff
I've had two! It's crazy!
Having lived in LA, and seen how scary the fires are on the horizon? I hope the best for EVERYONE on staff! I am SO proud of the HUGE donation you gave - that's the real spirit of Critical Role I remember from campaign one!
For various reasons, I haven't been following Campaign 3 as closely as I did Campaign 2. But I will definitely be tuning in to the finale as soon as it drops. I look forward to hopping back on the CR train.
Eight and a half hour game session? I work nights, and my shift starts at the same time as Critical Role. I'll be able to put in a full night's work and still catch the last 30 minutes. That's crazy.
It'll be an all-nighter on the 6th. I'm on East Coast. Lets DO this!
Same
And I'm off for my birthday that week :)
Will be right there with ya
SAME. work next day is gonna suck but itll be worth it
let's fucking go east coast gang!!
@ it's gonna fuck up my sleep schedule, but it'll be WORTH it. Honestly though, I just wanna know what's going to happen between Vax and Keyleth. I haven't seen campaign too, though I will, and I'm not super invested in campaign three, though I do enjoy it, but I'm mainly here for the raven boy and the druid. What about you?
Hmmm... I could take Friday off...
Thank you all for ten years of Critical Role. You’ve gotten me through some rough times, especially during the pandemic. I’m excited for what’s to come this year.
Wow. 8+ hours is wild! What is the second longest episode then? 🤔
iirc it's the C2 finale, it's 7 and a half hours
Last episode of C2 I think? That was just shy over 7 hours.
Probably either c1 or c2 finales, they were like 5-6+ hours
You all have the same energy of matt and marisha lighting the fireplace in their living room a few years ago
Minus the smoke alarms.
Man, I can't believe c3 is almost over. When it started I was a different person, it's been so long but I'm excited for the new chapter of Critical Role!
It is crazy! a CR campaign feels like the tenure of a certain Doctor in Doctor Who. You change as they do, and then it is time to move on... regenerate to the next thing, and it is always exciting!
I was introduced to CR while C2 was airing. I opted to not plunge in at the time since it was mid-season and it felt odd to start "there". When C3 started, I hopped on board and haven't left since. I'm slowly making my way through C1 while staying caught up on C3 so I know I have missed some lore significance but I've enjoyed the ride all the same. Sad to see BH go, but excited to see what you all do next!
"Making my way..."
EXU: Divergence the night before my birthday! Thank you for the awesome birthday gift Critical Roll! Calamity and Downfall are some of my favorite CR material!
We have the same birthday! Happy early birthday!
@@carlycchapman happy early birthday to you as well!
Supporting from Myanmar! Although our country is currently a nest of war crimes and deaths, Critical Role campaigns have accompanied me nights after nights as bed time stories.
no waaaay it's the finale mannnn
8,5 HOURS IS INSAAAANE
I'm extremely excited to know what the hell is coming with Campaign 4
I am going to say, a new world and Daggerheart.
@@MimesAgainstHunmanity Definitely Daggerheart, but I think they might stay in Exandria. Changing systems is already a lot, so might be easier for viewers to at least have familiar faces and places.
@ Given what they are saying here, especially with accepting questions from all the previous campaigns and limited series, and with Divergence being the mini-series, the ONLY way I see Exandria surviving this next episode is if they hit a complete reset and the gods recreate the world and leave.
But I think we are going to see the gods leave and Ruidus just wipe the slate clean.
@@kaekaenomaybe a few century time skip, into the “modern times” by exandrian standards
@@MimesAgainstHunmanity don't know about the new world since one of their upcoming live events is called "Daggerheart in Exandria"
Gonna stock up on tissues for that finale. Bells Hells means so much to me, and campaign 3 has gotten me through some of the roughest parts of my life. Thank you all so much for bringing us all joy and beautiful storytelling when we needed it most
Nice
This schedule is insane, I'm so excited! Take care all!!
Is that Liam with the caption "DILF MANOR" I see on the shelf? hahaha
YUP.
THANK GODS IT WASN'T JUST ME! :D
I mean, it's accurate
Timestamp?
@nachoalfonso2614 it's right over Ashley's shoulder when she's talking, in the bookshelf behind her
this might be me scrapping for crumbs but my brain for the last scene was "CR videogame"
a larian/bg3 cast/cr cast collab would honestly be amazing
@ trueeeee I hope they use a private studio and not a public studio like EA
Damn. When Campaign 3 started I was determined to stay up to date and caught up, but here we are at the end and I barely made it halfway through before life got crazy. Now I have a lot of catch up to do to make it to the finale. But I am determined once more to make sure I stay up to date with Campaign 4.
Not sure who chose the music for the end. But its *chef's kiss*
im so happy with the abridges version of Campaign 3! I've been a long time fan, but becoming a father soon, and did not have the time to catch up with the long new campaign. The abridged version is getting me back into this campaign!
I wanted to get into these but how do the episode numbers correlate? like episode 1 abridged is what episode of the campaign?
@ajfatca it's all one to one. So episode 1 was turned into abridged 1.
They cut out a lot of fluff, rolls, bresks, combat where nothing happens. It's far easier to listen to.
@ ahh awesome thanks, will have to check it out then
OMG! I am so behind! I have to catch up! I am on Episode 96! UGH! NOOOOOOO! In all seriousness, thank you all for giving me an escape. I listen all the time (at work, clean my horse stalls, cleaning house, traveling to anywhere, etc.) to get away from current events and just want to survive the next 4 or more years. Keep up the great work! I hope you ALL (cast & crew) know how much you are appreciated and loved!
I'm 60, I won't catch up
"January has been a lot" I really feel that, I was laid off along with 50% of the company I work for, in a time of unprecedented job loss and studio closure in my industry (animation)
Hopefully we'll all land on our feet but in the meantime I'm glad to have CR to enjoy 😊
A BODY SWAP ONE-SHOT!?!?
I’ve literally been saying that I’ve wanted that since like, episode one of Campaign 3
I want Ferne/Laudna swap so bad it would be hilarious!
Oh wow, the finale already? Excited for what’s next!
Already? Ive been expecting the finale to be the next episode for like 5 episodes…
I mean, it's been over 3 years already :O
I assume they'll all be playing gay characters.
@ Are you so insecure that this is something that makes you unstable?
@@AwesomeNuke It'd be nice if one out of 8 of them were straight.
Oooh excited for the epic finale and the miniseries!
Oh Wow! Really wasnt expecting BH to wrap up in 1 more episode. Not trying to undermine the fires and all. But its really crazy that while there was utter chaos irl, Exandria was also thrown into utter chaos. Kinda fitting in a morose, melancholy sorta way 😅
Also, excited about another series featuring Brennan w/ Matt finally getting to play again.
Thanks!
Oh man, I can't even imagine how crazy this is going to get when the story finally ties all the way together because I'm only on campaign 2 episode 43 now. I'm sure I'll be able to catch up to the current episode by the time it comes out though
Same! I'm a little further along, around episode 93, but I'm SURE I can catch up before this main event
Campaign 2, Episode 102, doing the best I can to catch up.
Campaign 2 episode 89 here. I'm sure I can at least finish c2 in time for a potential campaign 4
finished campaign 2 around a month ago… its so good
Good Luck!!
It will start @ 8pm here in Colorado. I need to buy some energy drinks and snacks to prepare...just like back in college. Wish me luck.
Ditto in Utah. I'm a super night owl any way (don't generally get to sleep until about 3 am) but even I'm probably going to have to split up my viewing, lol.
The “end of our Exandrian threads” has me quaking in my boots a little, can’t deny it.
I don't think Exandria is ending maybe a world reset since one of their upcoming live events it is called "Daggerheart in Exandria"
Yeah I'm pretty confident in saying that they will not be using the DnD game system moving forward.
I don't think exandria will be gone totally. I'm assuming it will be a huge time skip like maybe a 100 years or so and will see what exandria is like a century after the gods left. So things will be different and it will allow them to swap to daggerheart with our being wierd that some rules in the universe have changed.
I really do hope that every character gets their piece and some things finally get resolved.
Edit: Also, please take multiple breaks if you're doing 8 hours. You do not want to sit for that long.
Please please please announce a new campaign because I feel like we need it more than ever!! Critical role has been such a beacon of light and empathy and joy and laughs and togetherness that lacks so damn much and the world seems to be going the wrong way all over … you guys make such a difference … you give me so much respite thank you sincerely. All of the cast and crew and guests 👏 you all are a joy and make a difference
Hope that everybody stays safe both in CR- and LA-land! Cheers from Scandinavia ...
11:00 "I keep making the joke that maybe we should just like scum save 2025, and load our last save file" You specifically want to reload the save from November 5th, 2024 🗳
Is it just me or is matt Mercer the most sincere influencer I have ever heard or seen on the intranet? Always brings me to tears when he does that.
Sooooo excited for Divergence and the C3 finale! I truly cannot wait to see what is in store ❤
Our family is such big fans of Critical Role! We have had many discussions about the campaign and laugh, cry and just enjoy it all with you. You are all so creative, inspiring and talented. Thank you for all your hard work. Much love and support during this time.
Man, no news about Robbie staying, but I’m excited for the EIGHT and a HALF HOUR FINALE!? As an east coast viewer, pray for me 😂😂
I would love for Robbie to stay, but IDk how they do it with both him and Ashley reliably full-time now. I don't think they originally meant for him to come back full-time after Travis came back, he/Dorrian was just so great in the first part. The only negative is that it makes for a big screen of players if they ever want a guest, but that is a real negative. I don't think (and hope not) any original cast is wanting to back away yet. Robbie is something they desperately need as they expand and try to make their business sustainable outside of the core campaign- reliable, loved-by-the-community cast members, and if they had 2 more that fit that, plus a DM maybe they could split and have 2 "main" campaigns, but I don't see that happening just yet.
My current guess is they say fk-it and run a full cast next campaign, but there will need to be party splitting and other weird shenanigans to make that work. Otherwise someone could back out, it's been 10 years after all, and a new campaign is a 2 year commitment, but I think/hope they are all still loving their work. I know Sam had major health problems, but I hope he is fully back on his feet and here to stay. In any scenario they don't keep the 8 person cast (original players + Robbie) I would assume they would keep a role in the company, have arcs to guest play, and work hard on one of the many spin-off or "secondary" shows. That would make me sad but undoubtedly help the other show, be it Moonfall, EXU, Slayers Take, or something new. CR really wants one of them to take of in a comparable way. That is how they build Critical Role Land (joke), sustain long-term and continue (hopefully in the far distant future) after Matt tries to ease up.
@@zane4218tbh I definitely find that 8 is too many at the table. And I hate to be the asshole, but what is Robbie offering that other people don't bring to the table already?
Matt: “I think we can all pretty much commiserate with that.”
Ashely: “I don’t know what you’re taking about” ✨🥰
"January has been such a long year."
No fuckin' kiddin'.
And we just got past 2020 a few months ago, too!
So… like… am I the only one curious about what happened on these February dates?….
* Atlanta 2/3/19
* Houston 2/5/17
* Glendale 2/1/15
* Jacksonville 2/6/05
* Houston 2/1/04
* New Orleans 2/3/02
So these are all dates of super bowls the New England Patriots became super bowl champs.
Fell off C3 early on but excited the community will get to enjoy such a massive final episode and excited to see what a new campaign brings
Same!
Same! :D
Same. Excited for a new campaign and divergence
Aw man, what a shame. The story is getting CRAAAAZY; hopefully, Campaign 4 will be satisfying for you guys!
Same but I recommend catching up weather with the official catch-up or channel called marisha raygun. It is pretty good
Another EXU DM'd by Brennan Lee "It's been one second now" Mulligan?! Sign me up!
CAN'T WAIT FOR FEB 6TH
Edit: excited for all of the upcoming events, hope you all pull through these dark times, and also looking forward to Dispatch.
Critical role producers: “just make a promo for the upcoming content. No weird stuff; no cutaways or bits. That okay, guys?”
The cast: nods “yup … sure thing. So. A time-travel Terminator skit?”
I mena technically Marisha IS the producer. So it's mostly her, who is responsible for shit like this! :D
💛👍 my heart goes out to L.A. Looking forward to the healing, escapism and the new friends, stories and adventures 2025 brings. Thanks to the Critters, the Cast and the Crew; you're all beautiful.
How is Mr. Sam Riegel's health? I am hopeful he is well. I haven't been able to keep up well, and last I knew he was undergoing some potentially frightening health issues. I have prayed for his wellness.
@@ReclaimerMkII he rejoined the guys around late summer last year if I'm not mistaken and has recovered pretty well to my knowledge 🙏🙏
The end of True Heroism came at a time in my life with a lot of stuff in flux, and so the last year has been a real bugger to catch up on. This at least gives me a good incentive to try to get as caught up as I can before whatever comes next. Congratulations, Critical Role, on another campaign down. May there be as many more as you can spare us.😊
Praying for you all who are affected by the fires. Stay safe and much love from Florida. ❤
Much love to you from the UK, thank you for doing what you do CR team
Excellent timing for a one shot. Thanks, we needed it; even while you’re handling IRL demands, you still are bringing us the good times.
NEIN freakin hour Finale!
(it's nein because I will need to pause and pee, pause and eat, and pause and rewind because I expect to get sleepy, pass out, and probably need to rewind.)
IT WILL BE AMAZING!!!
1.5 and 1.75 speeds exist 😂
@@swnick3386as do like 35 other speeds
oh i am HYPED for the mini series. i love when brennan comes and GM's, he has this sort of atmosphere setting for the real chaotic shit that really fits the themes
8hr episode LETSSS GOOOOO
10:41 They truly are a bright spot that keeps me going sometimes. 😔 We're in this together and this community means the world to SO many of us.
Brennan is fast becoming the Robert Eggers of Exandria, and myself and my bloke tears are here for it
Y'all are truly the titans of worldbuilding and actual plays, and we are buckled up, popcorn and beers (some NA, of course) in hand, waiting for the finale, Divergence, and, of course, what we're hoping will be a whole heckin' whole lot more DAGGERHEART!
I never knew i needed to see a timecop Liam... now i do...
Thank you so much for the escapism. It is sorely needed this year as a Californian. Love you guys so much and look forward to to whatever new things you have planned. You all are geniuses.
Hey guys
I'm really looking forward to the finale, the mini-series and basically everything you just announced. :D Critical Role is such a bright light for me that has often saved me from dark days. I'm looking forward to the anniversary and what you have planned for us. You make this world better.
Thank you to the whole Critical Role cast and crew and guests. In these difficult times you all have given a lot of the heartwarming connection and joy that we need to endure.
8 1/2 hours?! Holy smokes!
😊 So grateful to you all. Your content is most definitely my escape!! Looking forward to all of it!
It's been 10 years of CR already?! Damn.... I still remember when I watched the very first episode in the very early morning hours (from Europe)...
It’s been a rough start to the year but remembering how critical role grew from 2016 onwards has been a great reminder to me on how amazing things can still be built and grow during difficult times. Thanks for being such a great community, excited for the future you have planned!
I ❤ you guys sooo much. We need people like you to be running our country 😊. Making our way ❤
Brehhhhh, I’ll be working at megacon Orlando all week! 😭 I hope you all have a rocking time! Wish I could hang out and enjoy the 9.5 hour finale.
Last week I was thinking "how can they pack epilogues into this session after the Predathos fight? Theres no time.
When I realized the finale was 8 hrs it made me very excited. As a DM I really wish my last home campaign could have gotten a 8 hr epilogue to say goodbye to the friends we spent 3 years with.
I know they already filmed, but I really hope they show at least once a scene where Laudna and Imogen go see their Old landlady. Or at least message her. 😊
Holy cow 8.5 hours long is nuts. I really hope Matt touches on all of the disaster BH causes across the entire planet after banishing all of the gods.
Anyone else excited to see what they come up with for the next season? I cannot wait to see what shenanigans they come up with after all this!
Unreasonably hyped for EXU Divergence!
I'm such a fan of how they continued to update us and everything they do. We love you guys! I can't wait for a 8h episode, giveee me the popcooooorn
i'm sure that if they do a main season 4 it wont be in any timeline close to the one they are playing now to avoid direct link with the 3 first campaign. Maybe a few easter eggs like a place named after Caduceus. It will give a nice fresh new vibe i think
Yeah I'm guessing it might be a couple hundred years. So exandria has time to develop and adapt to a world without the gods. Plus then swapping to Daggerheart won't feel like such a huge shift to in universe lore.
it'll likely be more like c2 with very loose connections. I imagine an Issylra campaign likely. 20 years after c3 makes sense. by that time, characters like percy and allura will already have passed.
i’ve never been more grateful to be an insomniac than this moment, i’m so ready for next week! i’m also sooooo excited about tonight’s freaky Thursday episode 🥲
When you said "longest episode yet" I thought maaaaaybe 7 hours, then you said 8+ omg I am HYPED
Excited to see what's next. Been a fan for a long time. Binged C1 in six months when I first discovered you guys.
Caught up on C2 and watched weekly for that one not long after.
Sadly ended up dropping C3 a little over a third through. Just wasn't enjoying it for several reasons. Just been waiting and letting others enjoy until what was next. :3
I hope for many more years of CR!
Celia Rose Gooding? They got freaking Uhura from Strange New Worlds? Holy shit, that's gonna be amazing
2:25 My jaw dropped
Mine too omg
I literally choked.
Ha I paused it and said holy shit 😂😅
This is really poetic. I started campaign one as campaign 2 was wrapping up. Finished campaign 1 and took a break going into campaign 2. Took way longer than I initially planned. So now couple years later. I just started campaign 2 and 3 is finishing up 😭 hoping to be all caught up in time for campaign 4! Which better happen
I cannot wait, CR has truly been there for me when I needed it and I’m really excited to see what comes next!
You all are amazing ❤ Thank you so much for using your positions to help the world and make it better!
