I dont like candella. Im not into horror as a genre, i find it pedantic and dumb. I still tune in because watching cr is what i do on thursdays. Your first point about taking a spot from main campaign is one of my Major issues with it. I already dont like having no dnd every 4th thursday, mix in all these different shows and i just couldnt care less. If it didnt take the place of my weekly viewing of these nerdy ass voice actors playing dnd, i might have a better opinion
Not surprised that its not going forward, but bummed. I am optimistic though, that it will find a home. I wouldn’t mind Dragonlance… Not a Joe Mangianello fan, his whole Mike Mearls, Project Iowa bit, was petty and off putting. And after him accusing WOTC and the the design team of being shady, and conspiring against Mearls, because they wanted his job… and being vocal about the fact that he thinks D&D is going ‘down hill’, not sure they’d be keen on working with him.
If it was 5E I'd be more hyped but I'm still kinda hyped. Not buying it tho cuz money & I'm not learning a new system when I'm not even done with the old one.
Amazon is already ruining it by forcing cavil to include DEI in ito the mix... It all started via Female Custodes which is Cavil's favorite faction... Which already ruins the lore because they were supposed to be all sons of nobles... And then there is the female space marines... Hope it stays true to the lore...
A long time ago, I saw a trailer for a possible show in the works called Dungeons & Kittens. As the title implies, it features the kittens as D&D classes going on a quest. Is THAT still coming out or was that also scrapped
For those of us who watched the cartoon, it's nice to see our fave characters on the covers of these books.... but that's about it! With the way D&D is right now, there's little to attract us back to playing if we've stopped, or if we are still playing, we're not going to touch any of the new books, regardless of who's in them, as we've already included them in our games! It's way too little, way too late!
Negotiations are something that only works in a capitalist society. That's not defeating capitalism, they defeated a company/companies for shitty work place practices.
I guess I can’t hate it, we created this back when we allowed call of duty and halo to partner with Doritos and Mountain Dew. I guess even before we sold rock and roll to commercials. However this trend of Burger King style memes, sucked into each corporate board room to win one over on the kids. I can’t hate that sunny D, hard Dew and Starbucks flavor liquor are a top tier seller. But I personally do hate myself and each one of use who allow ourselves to command this behavior.
4:07 Oh, look, another simulated-D&D RU-vid fatberg show with the same old twee, CalArts, "ironically" childlike aesthetic, populated by the same old L.A. loser "tabletop performer" hangers-on. I'm sure it will do exactly as well as all the other identical shows that aren't called Critical Role or Dimension20.
I think Candela didn’t nail the opening few episodes for many people, so it is going to naturally bleed viewership. The show was a very slow start and really didn’t get the intrigue out front and center in the way I think that sort of game needs
Folks, you can get the Rules Cyclopedia p.o.d. for under 40 bucks shipped. This is arguably the best version of the rules. Everything you need in one set of covers.
Are you suprised D&D's Paramount+ show got canceled? Should they revist the idea of making the Dragonlance show now? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Not surprised, but a bit bummed. I am though, optimistic it will get picked up. In regards to the Dragonlance show, sure. I’m a little soured on Joe Mangianello though. His whole Mike Mearls, ‘Crack team’ ‘Project Iowa’ bit was petty and off putting.
So because people prefer the main D&D show over Candela Obscura, which is a niche genre that most people don't prefer anyway, its running the risk of flopping? Yeah I don't buy it. Not to mention your points are nothing but personal gripes. 1) They've been doing D&D every week for ten years straight. Even for the biggest D&D nerd, that's going to get boring. This is their way of having fun with something new and fresh. 2) They're already releasing weekly episodes with their shows, and as a content creator, you should understand how difficult it is to pump out consistent videos, let alone 3-5 hour long productions. 3) Show length isn't as much of an issue as you're making it out to be. That sounds more like a personal preference. We're in an age of digital media where the VODs are released in regular fashion like the D&D campaign. If people are running short on time, that's what the pause button is for. It's less stress on the cast that way, instead of trying to justify the extra hours put in for the editing required to make the episodes shorter. tl;dr: Candela isn't flopping. The rulebook actually one of their best selling items on their shop site. These are nothing but personal gripes.
For me biggest problem with Candela is that it is not scary at all. I love eldritch horror, I love Call of Cthulhu. But Candela took away that normal people being put into increasingly maddening situation, that leads to death of a lot of players due to increased fear and insanity. And replaced it by imaginary world, where secret society of investigators, that in majority posses some magical abilities are fighting against evil. Cool, but if you have group of powerful people, that are already aware of existence of monsters, etc. it is not scary, it is just another mundane D&D like campaign, just in less classical fantasy settings. I still love the one shot they did way back when, with Tali as GM. That was perfect example what I would like to see more with Candela.
Talk about a click bait title. You took a reddit post and made it out to be a big deal. ALARMING PLANS, OH MY. He's running a home campaign in Kara-Tur, OH MY GOD, THE HORROR. The CEO never claimed to be making any plans to bring it back. But omg, it's SOO ALARMING. And Candela Obscura, as a game, is not a good rpg and maybe their live stage play didn't sell out because a lot of people know it's a bad game and no amount of acting in a play can save it.
Long time DM c1980first time commenter. I have maintained my AD&D books for 30+ years and am not interested in buying the new editions. It wasn't broke and didn't need fixing. Thin appeal, no substance. It's a trap.

Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo! By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow, By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us! Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us! Deliver us from this monstrocity called Amazon!
If anyone is complaining that they keep sidewuesting and shit and that they’re not on the moon… go watch a fuckin movie or some shit. The fun is being there with these characters and all the shit they get to what’s the point of watching if you’re just waiting for the end. I get pacing but In live voiced situation with this much pacing why are you trying to get to the end and have nothing after
I'm crying, I wanted to play the new DND but I'm Brazilian 😭, I've played it a few times and I loved it, I just don't play it anymore because there's no point in it, there's no more DND in Brazil
The flow is unattainable to 99% of players as they and their GM are not trained in “yes, and” like the CO cast. So, it comes across as scripted and contrived which in turn doesn’t make good “live play.”
Well you did it. You officially earned yourself a "do not reccomend this channel" click from me. Nobody fucking asked for a tabletop tabloid. Nobody. Your pessimistic headlines are exhausting and ultimately you're no better than Dungeons and Discourse - who are also terrible.
Campaign 3 is my very first campaign with the CR cast and Dorian quickly became my favorite character only to learn that having guests was a common occurrence and that he was eventually going to leave. Hopefully he's here to stay.
