-slides in here- Hi! I'm looking to get into CR as a brand new babe. Where the heck do I start?
i want to preface this that i'm also very new to cr (started watching this past summer) and i have not finished any of the early campaigns. i have watched the legend of vox machina (which is the animated version of their first campaign on amazon prime, and for their second campaign, the mighty nein, i have watched both the animated version and 30-40 or so episodes of the actual live play. i have no knowledge of campaign 3, and i'm keeping up weekly with campaign 4 as it airs.
now, campaign 1, 2 and 3 are all set in the same universe exandria and are DMed by matt mercer with the og cast. each of them have around 100+ episodes that range from 3-5 hours. which i understand can be overwhelming.
campaign 4 is set on a brand new universe with no connections to any of their other content. it is DMed by brennan lee mulligan, it is a brand new world/universe with no connection to their previous content. has a few additional players and because of their size they are split into 3 smaller groups that have separate but connected in a way arcs. it might be overwhelming at first for having to keep track of 13 characters, but it doesn't require any knowledge of their previous content. and episode 27 just aired so it's less content to go through.
each episode airs almost every thursday at 7:00 pm PST on youtube, twitch, and beacon (their streaming paid platform), and the VOD is uploaded the following monday at 12pm pacific on youtube. so all their content is available to watch on youtube for free.
idk if you want more information/detail for every campaign, you can send me an IM to ask more details but i hope this covered the first general part !
