This whole campaign was amazing, and major props for Cam for his world building and making the internal politics of a small community genuinely fascinating and gripping to hear. One thing though, would it be possible for Cam to release his campaign notes at some point? He called this ending the "Blue Ending" (by which I assume he means the group went Paragon as opposed to Renegade or another option) so I'm curious as to what other endings he envisioned
The campaign has ended and I enjoyed it! I still think that for self contained within the lrr group dnd campaigns having a set number of sessions may be the biggest weakness. We were able to see a lot more group dynamics this session and Ian and Cori got to participate and be a part of the story. It makes me feel I was right in that Cam had a lot of stuff he had to get through in order to get the group from point A to B which resulted is severe railroading early on for fear of not being finished on time. This session he was able to perform his DM duties while also taking a step back and let the group "breathe" and roleplay among themselves.
Cam may not be the most rules stickler amongst the DMs I have seen But he's the best that I ever seen in weaving an intricate, interactive world. It's almost ephemeral in how it can bend when players clearly mess around. But it never breaks.
I really enjoyed listening and watching this side campaign to the story. Cam's DM'ing is fun to listen to and how he plays his NPC's. I'd be really interested to read any notes if he makes them available at some point. Definitely some interesting characters that appeared and I wondered if I would have actually worked with Maoga in maintaining the isolation of the plateau as opposed to exiling her. Look forward to any more campaigns for you all! Great work guys and all the crew!
I’m m so happy for this campaign! That ending, the drama, all the lovely intros! Cam you are a great DM, everyone had fantastic characters, and I’m gonna miss this campaign.
Around 2:40, I would sat to Maga "You know that eventually old age will take you away from the plateau. And younger generations will be curious about the outside world. A trial may be your best opportunity to voice your concerns and to persuade the population to be more cautious about outsiders and their ways. The end result is still likely, in a generation or two, for more contact with the outside, but at least it will be more thoughtful, more careful, more from a position of strength, rather than an emotionally-led sense of need."
Okay, it's over. Wow. That was fantastic; everyone contributed to a wildly entertaining campaign, full of hilarity, drama and excitement! Of particular note is Mr. Lauder's part in all this - I would PAY you to DM! :D Your 'opening monologues' to each session were inspiring, and worked nicely to reiterate the theme you were instilling in the campaign; I'm sure many will be adopting this little trick to enhance their own games :) True, you did have to railroad your players at times, but that seemed to be more of a need to complete the campaign on schedule, rather than force the party to go where you want and do what you want. ...and that climax! You malicious, schadenfreude-loving....*naughty man* you! XD The look of explicit and unreserved glee you had as the party mulled over its options...I almost giggled just on your behalf! Oh and how did the old sage spell her name? Maiga? Mauga? M.A.G.A.? ;) (yes, ICWYDT) Anyway, thank you for a delightful campaign to watch, and I champ at the bit in the expectation of MORE Dice Friends in the future!
I'd love to see Cam's notes on the other ending(s), if there are any. Alternatively, can we like....quickload this group back to the final choice? 100% this sucker?
I love LRR. Not to cause a kerfuffle if you guys see this, but if you do would you mind telling Alex that I support the Alex initiative?? Please? It’s funny you know you laughed... K but I seriously appreciate all the work that you guys do at LRR to make quality content for people who seek entertainment, and knowledge. LRR is kind off like the Limited Resources of constructed, but left focused on knowledge.
What's up with Mazie? She says she's weaker than Mouga, but yet Mouga says Mazie will live forever? Is Mazie actually Abteo, what with immortality, insane magic, and her always walking? Does she ever go to get some of Rigen's pancakes??? (Sorry for butchering your character's names)
Kathleen: so is the dragon alive?
Cameron: OH HE** NO... wait do you ask her that?
Kathleen: sure
Cameron: we talk...
I died 😂😂😂😂

I definitely made Cori's face the whole time Ben tried to resolve things peacefully using a fake half-remembered bet.

great little campaign. Nice chewy ending for the players to talk through both IC and OOC.

And that is why we call him the Cammander.
I have a feeling that folks will be talking about the finale of this for a while. Great work, Cameron.
Amazing end to the campaign. Was nice to see Ian and Cori play a more active part and Cam totally owned as DM.
gahh Cam's intro is soo good!
I'm not unconvinced that Cam is secretly a priest of Ubteo
A good ending to a great little campaign. Well done!
I absolutely loved this campaign! The end sequence in the ice cave had me all in.
Also....
Go Dons!!!
Okay, it's over.

Go Dons
This is so good. Just joined your Patreon.
Thank you for speaking up a bit Cam. I really enjoyed your small campaign
56:30 "It's raining men! Oh dear God, why is it raining men!?!"

Chickens aren't just basically dinosaurs. Chickens ARE dinosaurs. All birds are theropod dinosaurs.
This is great, but it's 2:30 AM, and I am too tired to do listening right. Good night. Back after sleep.
I'm a sucker for a happy ending but I can't fault the story or conclusion. I was entertained and that's what matters.
Is that Marit Lage in the ice?
I thought it was until Cam said it was a dragon.
Oh gods I have to go to work but there are 20 minutes left... ahhhhhh the tension!!
But I appreciated the suggestion is the best pun.
I ride my Saddleback Lagac to the Semolo Plateau

EDM Master Mono Red!
I wonder how many endings Cam had prepared.
If they just went back and destroyed the teleport circle she'd die before she got back to chult, gg
Conclude? NOOOOOOOO
Ya, Back with Purple
I love Ben XD
What's up with Mazie? She says she's weaker than Mouga, but yet Mouga says Mazie will live forever? Is Mazie actually Abteo, what with immortality, insane magic, and her always walking? Does she ever go to get some of Rigen's pancakes??? (Sorry for butchering your character's names)
