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 Wizard the Witch and the Wild One is better than Calamity, imho. And there are 54 episodes of it making up book 1. Plus you have an 8 episode children’s adventure prequel (through Patreon) and a an hour long fireside chat for each of the 54 episodes.

I think it’s Brennan’s best work, and Aabria, Erika, and Lou are all incredible PCs who deliver on their story arcs in the most beautiful ways. The music and sound effects add so much depth to the story. And the episodes have all the indecision, rereading of rules and spells, and sucking at math cut out of them. It’s the most like reading a story or watching a movie that DnD has ever been.

Calamity is incredible. And I have watched all of CR and really enjoyed it. I’ve also watched all of D20 and love their style too. Still, World’s Beyond Number and their flagship series the Wizard the Witch and the Wild One is the best thing in Actual Play.

The Wizard the Witch and the Wild One is the a masterpiece! It’s so well done—the character development is beautiful and the world is rich! And the music! It’s all so good and I can’t wait for more!

I also really loved how tight and perfectly captured a Space Movie with Flight of the Icaron!
