Soldier, Seeker, Schemer Guessing Game!

Is this just an excuse for me to do some data analysis in six weeks? Maybe. But! Guess who will be in the soldiers group, who will be a seeker, and who will be a schemer! Pour over the teaser screenshots, analyze past player patterns, or just roll a die.

I'll reblog this post with the response spreadsheet, and then on October 2nd (or maybe a little later, I guess, if they don't separate out initially), we'll get to see who was right!

Winner gets bragging rights.

RIP to Critter fanartists, who have to figure out compositions to feature thirteen characters whenever they want to make group art of the Campaign 4 PCs

"average person runs 3 ttrpg a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person runs 0 ttrpg a year per year. Brennan Lee Mulligan, who lives in cave & runs over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Like, really, it's so interesting what they can do with D&D when they know that they have an audience and are working to create an epic level story that will be engaging but also still fun for the players.

What is campaign 4?

Info:

Campaign 4 will still be played in D&D

The location of campaign 4 is called Aramán

Campaign 4 will included an expanding cast. The main cast with Luis Carazo, Robbie Daymond, Aabria Iyengar, Whitney Moore, and Alex Ward

Soldiers, Seekers, and Schemers: the three tables that the players were separated into

“People like kissing” -Brennan

Look at this set!!!

Obsessed with the tables for Campaign 4 being decided based on what the players wanted to explore in a story. The Soldiers table will be exploring stories that centre conflict and combat where the violent solution is not only the right answer but often the only answer. The Seekers table will be digging into mysteries and lore and magic and problem-solving on a cosmic scale. And the Schemers table will be focusing on the dynamics of power and institutions and relationships to those things and each other, with plenty of intrigue along the way.

Love this because not only are all of these kinds of stories that D&D is well-equipped to tell, but because it also indicates the prep work was done to make sure all the players were on board with the type of story each of their tables would be telling so they could design their characters -not just mechanically (though I am currently very excited to eventually learn the class/sub-class distributions between all three tables based on which type of story the characters are in), but also in terms of personality- to fit that type of story their table will be telling, Especially because the lack of this kind of prep work unfortunately hamstrung Campaign 3, so I'm very happy to see they seem to have learned from the experience.

here are some more jester animatic frames

Thinking about how the Matron is in many ways the goddess of "shit happens, learn to deal" and much if not all of the hostility towards her (in-universe as well as out) stems from the unwillingness to learn to deal

Nott’s hatred of Protto walked so that Veth’s hatred of Otis could run.

I had a dream last night that during the fjorester wedding liveshow, instead of taking hit points in a battle, every time Matt did damage he was deducting people off the guest list. Laura was going ballistic.
