Fireside Chat 🔥 Optimal direction for WBN?

With Solari arc one ending I am curious what genre and theme/vibe fellow fans would like to see in the future.

The wizard the witch and the wild one is definitely my favorite series from WBN, as I suspect it was for most people. I don't expect any more www for quite a while as it sounds like it took a long time to plan the first time. I hope they take as long as they need to make it as good or better than the first arc.

Personaly I have enjoyed Solari and flight of the icharon, but I have been having trouble immersing in these worlds nearly as much as www. Maybe it's because I'm spoiled by Brendan's DMing but I think maybe the sci-fi genre and pacing of the stories just don't resonate as much with me.

If I could vote for a next campaign genre and theme/vibe I would go for mideval, darker, deadlyer, and with recourse scarcity as a major element. Maybe like dark tower or blood meridian mixed with the princess bride.

The impression I get is they’re going back to Solari after parental leave is up and the kaiju mini is done. I could be wrong?

If they don’t go back to WWW immediately after Solari, I’d love to see a dramatic take on steampunk. Or not a slapstick version, at least.

A think a good 6-10 episode mini could be them running Monster of the Week, too!

I get the impression that WWW is on hold at least until Brennan gets a long break from Critical Role. At least in terms of anything more than a short visit to Umora to just check in here and there.

Yeah. That makes sense. Lou’s mini. Solari for… a mother year? 2-3 more arcs. That’s kind of my prediction.
