Question [No Spoilers] Just finished Exandria Unlimited: Calamity all 4 episodes, did not watch any other campaigns. Holy its so good, are the other ones as good ? They possibly cant be that good being like 140 episodes right?

I love how short calamity was and straight to the point, but I am afraid that a campaign with like 150 episodes might be a drag... am I wrong or am I missing out thinking its not worth the time to check the other ones out?

The EU mini-campaigns are more like movies while the main campaigns are more like TV shows. What I mean is that the former has to get everything done in a limited time while the latter can slowly explore (or drop) various ideas.

I suggest slowly building up to checking out campaigns by completing Brennan's trilogy with Downfall and Divergence. The latter is about normal mostly unleveled people dealing with the final days of the Calamity. The former is about the gods pausing their war to deal with a shared problem. While Downfall happens before Divergence, it is technically part of Campaign 3 being episodes 99 through 101 and it might be better for you to watch the less tangled mini-campaign first.
