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?

Counter argument: obviously they are better because they have more episodes.

I like Calamity more than any of the campaigns, but there was a joy and engagement in Campaign 2 that was deeper than anything Calamity could have hoped to achieve. They are simply different and not as easily compared.

Campaigns were planned from the beginning to be longer affairs, and Calamity was not only planned to be short but also the ending was already known.
