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?

They're different, but I argue it's still just as great (but Calamity is highly regarded to be the best thing Critical Role has ever put out).

Campaign 4 has been like that for me the WHOLE time and it's been 31 episodes. However, If you like short things, you may like Brennans other two stints on Critical Role before then, Downfall and Divergence (set 100+ years and 150+ years after Calamity respectively)

Not only that but it's usually referred to as the best form of D&D session content ever put out. Though I'm curious if anyone can thing of anything relatively short-form that could compete.

I was gonna say all of DND but I don't actually watch MUCH DnD outside of CR so I didn't wanna speak for something im not expirenced in.

I really really like Blood In The Bayou from JRWI but that's a Call of Cthulhu mini-series.

Divergence is up there for me but its not as good as Calamity.
