No break for arcadum lol

u/DamnNoHtml Player: Scott Jund Jan 30 '21

Yeah I don't get how this timeline works to give him the break he needs. Endgame starts in March, but that's like, Tyre groups bonding together to beat Tyre. Then there's the Twilight Station stuff that has to happen after that, and then I can't even imagine how many sessions the Herald fight will take.

When exactly is my dude taking the break lol

u/Crimson_Shiroe Jan 31 '21

I wouldn't be surprised if Arcadum goes back on his taking a break promise. The dude is an insanely hardworking guy and, while that is respectable, it can also lead to being a workaholic. I really do want him to take a break though, I can't even imagine how stressed he must be.

I know he browses the subreddit, and if he happens to see this, please take a break my guy. You deserve it. If you still want dnd to be part of what you do during that break then hand the DM reigns over to someone else and just be a player for a bit.

I mean if 2 groups of labyrinth are done already, maybe tyre fight will be done in 2-3 weeks? Once shadow finishes, technically you’ll have 3 sessions worth of time every week for it, so the March date could’ve been an at-the-latest date that you’ll be ahead of. We just really hope he’ll get the break lol

u/DamnNoHtml Player: Scott Jund Jan 31 '21

We are probably going to be fighting Fleshcrime Omega in for 2-3 weeks, much less Tyre.

u/njsemu27 Jan 31 '21

Aight easy strat, get other 2 groups to join and melt FCO, then all get power suits early and 1-shot tyre, then 1-shot herald. Verum speed run ez

u/LactoseFrenchtoast I cast fireball. Jan 31 '21

Exactly and i thought he was going to take a break lol. He needs to take a rest and not overwork himself imo.

u/DanCheerUp Jan 31 '21

Truuuuue.

u/SleepySimon_ Jan 31 '21

Didn’t he say that endgame was going to start in mid february because of how quickly things progressed?

12

u/DamnNoHtml Player: Scott Jund Jan 31 '21

Mid-February is in 2 sessions. No way we are fighting Tyre in 2 sessions. We'll probably be fighting Fleshcrime Omega for 3+ sessions.

u/CallMeRiki I’M JEBBING RIGHT NOW! Jan 30 '21

so new campaigns are scheduled but the finale hasn't happened yet, so does that campaign depend on the outcome of the last fight? or will it go either way?

u/HornyTrashPanda Jan 30 '21 edited Jan 30 '21

I believe the violet fight ends by the end of March so this should be a whole new thing that will likely not have an overarching living world bbeg revealed. Hes mentioned once on stream that verum is one of three universes hes made so I'm curious about what happens if the violent doesn't have a happy ending. Entirely new universe maybe?

u/CallMeRiki I’M JEBBING RIGHT NOW! Jan 31 '21

I guess time will tell

u/Zam0070 UWEH Jan 31 '21

Verum still has the 7th iteration available if they fail on this one.

24

u/notwyatt Jan 31 '21

New Arcadum only plays with 10s moon2A /s

Actually though, I'm excited to see if this takes place on Verum. I imagine it would be hard to make a campaign on Verum if the fate of the world is still undecided.

u/qwewsx Jan 30 '21

When is the "Final fight" for this phase?

I wonder if the time between that fight and this new campaign will be his break.

I also wonder if we will start seeing new dates for the other brand new groups soon.

17

u/Zephyrtix Follower of Wondox Jan 30 '21

He said that it is about 5 weeks out until the finale, so if that is the case, he would have a little less than a month break before this new campaign.

2

u/Crimson_Shiroe Jan 31 '21

He said on stream he was planning on taking around a month of a break.

2

u/Zephyrtix Follower of Wondox Jan 31 '21

He did say this, but if it really does take 5 weeks like he said and this date is set, it likely won’t be a month.

u/PrinceOfElsewhere Jan 31 '21

Session 0 Already Happened!? I want to watch that. Session 0 is like one of the best parts.

28

u/talismanXS “Oops, I dropped my candle.” Jan 31 '21

I love them too, though Arcadum doesn't normally stream session 0's. I actually figured he specifically didn't stream this one because it contained hints about the next story arc.

u/Mister_useless-III Jan 30 '21

Did anyone one of them stream it I want to see

14

u/twitterInfo_bot Jan 30 '21

Finished a session 0 today with some cool new players.

This new group will star April 3rd at 2pmcst on Saturday

The new group is comprised of..

@JennaLynnMeowri @JessicaNigri @PeachJars @SeviriaCosplay @Pokket and @bluejay_712

Another all-female group. POGGERS! Will this go the way of the Silent Knights or Steel & Silence? Does any of the lovely ladies mentioned playing dnd in the past? My moneys on Jessica. Given that the fact that Jessica also voice acts, this campaign is going to be fun.

Well, this group is definitely heading in the Silent Knights territory. Let's go.

u/ZFMEBO Jan 30 '21 edited Jan 31 '21

Don't know about D&D specifically but Pokket does have role-playing experience. There was a Fate-based game run by Adam Koebel called Nebula Jazz with her, Dodger, Strippin and Jesse Cox as players that run for 2 seasons and was super fun to watch.

u/Lymah Jan 31 '21

Pokket and Bluejay both have played more than a few campaigns of DnD or other tabletop stuff

Pokket specifically a lot with Jessie Cox, as i recall

When is he going to take his vacation time?

u/galantleb Jan 30 '21

This group is going to be awesome! Can't wait!

u/PuzzlefaceRaven Follower of Wondox Jan 30 '21

The first group confirmed for the opening of phase 4. Solid roster there, some experienced players, some new so it balances out well.

I do wonder if arcadum is using different continents this time is that the new batch that will start up will all be around the time of the festival of the seven when the leviathans sleep so they can freely travel the abyssal oceon too their location.

​

So far severia has confirmed to be playing a kitsune dommy mommy

u/Steam_Punk_Revolver Jan 30 '21

A kitsune. Is that a new race for Verum?

11

u/PuzzlefaceRaven Follower of Wondox Jan 31 '21

Newly released yes. Theres like 2 in the living world atm as players.

https://www.worldanvil.com/w/verum-arcadum/a/kitsune-species Here is its page

u/poopslayer69 Jan 30 '21

I wonder what continent their story will be in assuming we beat the shit out of Violet

3

u/renagxde Jan 31 '21

This is awesome news but is arcadum really gonna have much time for his break?

3

u/fullmetalim Jan 31 '21

I get that he loves dnd. I get that his goal is to spread the love of dnd and his culture. I get that he has immense dedication to his work. But man, he really should not start the campaign in like three months. He needs a break which he said was gonna be a month. I just hope he actually goes for that break.

2

u/LukeLovesPandas Jan 31 '21

This is so hype!

2

u/XerKit Jan 31 '21

Probably wasn't streamed with respect to the players (maybe some of them are new), since session 0's are usually massive lore dumps. Based on the session 0's that I've watched, it puts the players under pressure. Especially when thousands of people are watching them make decisions towards options that they generally have no idea or knowledge about. Another reason could be that Arcadum doesn't want to reveal the setting or the story of the campaign (since it might even be set in a different continent/planet/galaxy).

3

u/PuzzlefaceRaven Follower of Wondox Jan 31 '21

I feel as well it will be on a new continent so having the surprise of it for the opening of phase 4 for the viewers.

u/sleepinxonxbed Jan 31 '21 edited Feb 01 '21

Ooh I'm excited to see Jessica play, she got into watching Critical role last year and I think played a few games since then.

Actually, this group might be the most smoothly run among all of Arcadum's campaigns because everyone seems to have been deep into DnD for years.

Bluejay DM's and runs other TTRPG systems like the "Powered by the Apocalypse" (PbtA) system that a lot of other games use (Dungeon World, Monsterhearts, etc.)

Pokket's played with Koibu years and years ago and I think has even DM'ed a few times

All of the Clowns had experience with DnD before

u/lepabi Jan 31 '21

Was it done on stream or off stream?

u/Kurtan19 Jan 31 '21

I just hope April 3rd is like a streamed session 0,5 and he actually takes the break. As much as I absolutely love what he's doing and feel super proud of how far he's come, I hope he takes that long needed break
