[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8302871, member: 2629"] Never assume I know something.I hear a lot of people claim Matt hates high level - but I've never seen him say it, and he was super enthusiastic through the end phases of both campaigns. Do you have any quote where he states that he hates it?The 'bog plots' get foreshadowed and then built into the game, but Matt does a good job of giving them a first adventure and dropping hooks from which they can select. Campaign 2: With the introduction that Matt set up, at least some PCs were going to be at the circus, likely (and in actuality) all. That storyline 'found them' and gave him time to lay a few other foundations as well as to drop reminders of the hooks in their backstories. See above.Their intent is to not be socially distanced and to go back to a live game, it seems, for campaign 3. Logistically, they'll likely prerecord this instance of EXU because changing the set and trusting new players live may be a bit much. I have no source for this statement, but there was a lot of supposition that Matt led the campaign to an end when he did to give them time to set up a 'new set' for campaign 3 when the restrictions were being lifted (which they are now, essentially, unless there is a resurgence due to Delta or another variant). It seems like they'll be able to record all of EXU, take a couple weeks to strike sets (showing one more prerecorded one shot - perhaps two or three) and then dive into Campaign 3 in late September or early October live. I would not be surprised (as in there is a small chance) to see them do session 1 - live at NY Comic Con (October 7 to 10 weekend), although I expect they'd want the studio reveal and campaign first session to be in studio.
