L’shana tova! Hope this year brings less miserable discourse and interesting stories

Thank you! I too hope for interesting stories, and yeah, I do not hate the discourse, but I hope what discourse may come is elevated to at minimum, C2 levels, rather than the abyss in which it's been.

hi i just finished station 19 and because i have 911 brainrot, i'm thinking about the two in conjunction--when miller makes ben pru's guardian if he dies, he, like. asks ben first. and tells him. because that's the normal thing to do if you're making a close friend your child's guardian. and other people know about it, because it's also normal and hiding it is weird. which makes me want to study eddie diaz so much more, because all of his actions around the will are /not normal friend things./

oh my god YEAH yeah trust me i've thought about this!!! a lot!!! and you're so right because it's like. a BIG deal. it's a big deal! and it's something you want to share with your close friend, that moment is actually really, really special between the two of you! my brother and sister in law were asked to be guardians of their friends' son over a fancy dinner and it was. a Big Deal so like??? eddie diaz??? what made you??? do this without telling buck first??? i mean, yeah, he knew buck wouldn't refuse -- and he wouldn't -- but?? hello?? the thought process that led to that decision as a whole??? I NEED TO KNOW SO BADLY you're right i want to study his brain

You mentioned privately speculating about character subclasses—any guesses/predictions you’d be willing to share?

Sure! It's just largely unevidenced because we know very, very little

Ayden: Rary's Telepathic Bond indicates he's likely either Peace or Empathy domain and at least 9 levels in cleric. No idea on Paladin class; Ancients, Devotion, and Redemption would all fit the Pelor vibe. @essektheylyss mentioned Circle of Stars for the druid class given his staff and what he mentioned. No idea on Barbarian though Zealot would be fitting and fun. My personal guess incidentally for his level breakdown is assuming level 20 overall, he's 9 cleric/6 paladin/3 barbarian/2 druid (not necessarily taken in that order).

Trist: Almost certainly redemption paladin; would personally like to see light domain cleric especially since Pelor is somewhat in her domain.

Emhira: UA Raven Queen Warlock would be extremely fun as would Hexblade (which does reference the Raven Queen in the D&D lore; what if she not only created the first hexblade weapon but was, as Emhira, the first hexblade warlock?); honestly no other warlock classes really fit for her since she doesn't seem to volunteer that she can heal, (though as an part of my...undying The Undying Warlock Class Is Good You're Just A DPS Obsessed Loser soapbox I'd scream at Undying) so that's my guess.

Asha: honestly given that it's Taliesin and I don't know what of her shapeshifting is class vs. race-based this could very well be fully homebrewed, but Four Elements or Long Death seem most fitting of the existing classes

SILAHA: He says he can heal, so my guess is Celestial warlock and clockwork soul sorcerer but he could be divine soul

The Emissary: Zealot definitely seems like the move here.

Is there any class/subclass you’d like to see a D20 cast member play? One of the Intrepid Heroes or otherwise? (Also, I always love seeing the RQG love because that’s what got me into APs!)

I used to have a wild-ass spreadsheet of all the AP characters I knew by class and I suppose I still do but haven't been updating it, which is to say, it took me a minute to think through what the Intrepid Heroes cast have done; it's also wild in that technically, they've only done 5 settings as the intrepid heroes and at most 6 characters (since Emily and Zac used their backup ACOC characters and Siobhan and Murph played new characters in TUC 2). And on top of that, there's sidequests, NADDPod, and guesting.

I would actually love to see Brennan play a wizard. With the exception of Raphaniel he tends to play martials as a player which is interesting because he does wizards so well.

I would also like to see Lou as a warlock in...not Neverafter. Lou is fantastic at the charisma casters so I'd like to see him give another run at it in a season I enjoyed more, to be totally honest.

Emily has only ever played cleric as a base class for a multiclass (for sorcerer, monk, and wizard) and I'd like to see straight-up cleric especially since she's talked about being a religion major while not being a religious person.

Zac is famously a fan of martial classes and did a great job as paladin so I'd love to see him take on ranger, since he's done most others at least in multiclass.

I actually most want to see Siobhan and Ally in more non-D&D systems. Siobhan was great as Imelda Pulse in Mentopolis and it felt like Ally's style is best in looser systems as well like Mythic and Monsterhearts - I'm excited to see them in a Kids on Bikes hack for Never Stop Blowing Up.

Murph is tough because I'm just like. Murph I know you are busy but could you do a sidequest PLEASE. Also, weirdly, with the exception of Kugrash and Cody, who have this script flipped, he tends to play full casters as super unhinged (see: naddpod) and most of his martials as at least somewhat more hinged (Riz, Barry, Theo). I would like to see him play an absolutely bonkers martial class character.

Finally: would love to them bring back a NUMBER of people but Surena Marie and Jasmine Bhullar are top of my list of not strictly Dropout people; I also didn't love Mice & Murder but I'd LOVE to see the Dropout folks who haven't been in anything else for D20 come back.

@villadiodatis replied to your post “I know it's Nein lockdown but in practice for me...”:

I’ve been really hostile to the daggerheart c4 idea because it’s mostly come from the same people who fearmonger about how “c3’s got the lowest viewing numbers ever” but the magic shifting thing does make me wonder—it could also be a justification for the changes in 5e 2024, and my prediction remains 5e c4 with a daggerheart campaign in the current candela slot with some of the new regular guests, but we’ll see!

Moving this out of the replies because this is a very valid point. To be honest a lot of the Daggerheart C4 people of that nature have apparently stopped believing it because somehow it hinged on the gods definitely being killed off (as opposed to the current state where it's been made pretty clear Bells Hells gets to decide what happens and it is not a foregone conclusion) and also it being a d20 system specifically (no idea why) but yeah. I will say: I don't see any specific reason to switch to 5e's changes/OneD&D. I mean, they could if they want to, but people played D&D 3.5e throughout the entire existence of D&D 4e; there are still people out there who stick with AD&D. A lot of the people claiming C3 has lower viewership than ever also kind of hated Campaign 2 and really have hated everything since Campaign 1. Right now they're blaming D&D but earlier they blamed the switch to pre-taping or the "meandering plot" and like, in the end, I'm pretty sure a lot of them were ultimately just fans of Vox Machina and of the cast being more accessible to a small fandom and they will never be happy with Critical Role again.

I will freely admit: I do not know if a campaign 4 is guaranteed to happen at all. It's a massive commitment and it's not out of the question that after this campaign Critical Role won't shift into EXU and various miniseries alone. During Campaign 2, Campaign 3 wasn't a guarantee either. But if there is another long-form campaign in the channel's immediate future, I feel like Daggerheart makes it more likely, and to be honest I think what you mentioned seems really unlikely:

A smart way to avoid the loss of audience when switching out of D&D (the recognizable brand) is to keep all the other things the same. Keep the setting of Exandria; keep the main cast; hope that people will stick around for Matt's GM-ing and the main cast and the world even if the mechanics change. There's plenty of reasons why I think Candela has a lower viewership including that horror is a totally different genre and a harder sell, but I also can't help but think that some people are specifically not checking it out because their favorite cast member or favorite cast dynamic isn't present.

Daggerheart is explicitly intended to support long-form play with level progressions, and I think they'd want to showcase that. Running two long-form games concurrently on the channel is really tough to the point that if they did both a 5e/OneD&D campaign and a Daggerheart Campaign, I think they'd probably have to have none of the original cast members in that as main PCs simply for reasons of time commitments and would definitely lose viewers if they did that. Candela is arc-based and can be presented sufficiently in 3-episode chapters in a way that I think Daggerheart cannot.

Again: fully speculative; but if I were say, in Marisha's shoes, and the cast had decided to do another long-form campaign after C3 I'd go with Daggerheart, still using D&D 5e for any EXU games set in the past, and keep Candela as a mini-series on the off weeks.

Hi, is there any kind of list of articles on the wiki that need proofreading? I’ve been touching up a few if I come across typos while I’m just using the wiki but I’d love to be able to help some more (and proofreading is the only way I have time for). Thanks!

Hi! Unfortunately, there's not a great list of things that just need proofreading. The Articles needing cleanup category is about the closest we have, but that includes everything from "this needs a spelling/grammar pass through" to "this needs extensive review for accuracy". You can definitely take a look there though - most editors who tag something for cleanup mention the nature of said cleanup so you can skip past anything that is more complex.

I know you're asking about typos/proofreading so this is a little off-topic, but in terms of needed wiki help that's a quick win and that I've been thinking of doing a push for, citations are a big one! With the transcript search available it's often not too hard to make a big difference in a small amount of time, and we do have a list of those.
