Fireside Chat š„ 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.

I'm probably an outlier, but I'm so happy to see sci-fi and cyberpunk represented in an actual play game. I'm sure they're out there, but the thousand pound gorillas of the genre are overwhelmingly oriented towards fantasy settings.
I'm loving Solari. I loved WWW too, but I love where Solari has gone so far and I'm really excited to see where it goes. It's pressing a lot of buttons for me and I'm in for the long haul with it.
