Fun thought.
With people complaining how it’s not a ‘bell hell’s’ show anymore and how they didn’t get to do anything blah blah, I actually thought of LOTR
Yknow hobbits? Those little guys no one thought important? Cuz they can’t fight like elves or dwarfs or do magic like Gandalf or be Super Important like a secret king? Yeah those are our level 8 bells hells.
They’re not Voice of the Tempest or Secret Order Super Monk to fight corruption or a dunamatic wizard turning dragon.
They’re level 8.
But yknow what, they destroyed a key. They have connections. They have loyalty and friendship. They’re tough. They’re the little guys. And if people are gonna underestimate them? Well, we all know how the last story turned out.
I maybe be biased (I know an embarrassing amount about LOTR) but I think you're on to something anon.
Vox Machina and the Mighty Nein are powerful heroes who can shape the world around them. At this point, they're all basically demigods.
And then you have Bells Hells, a ragtag group of people who didn't quite fit anywhere else. And despite being so small in the overall scope of things, still stare down death with the same voracity as people huge power levels above them.
And that's what really makes them compelling. That's why this is their story, despite cameos and mentions of previous campaigns. Because while the old guard's spells and power are great, they are nothing in the face of this small group's sheer will.
And that's what campaign three is about.
No matter how small you are, and how limited your options seem, you always have the capacity to create change.
And to be fair, doesn't everyone seem small when facing the end of the world?

“What you hold onto is less important than the act of holding on itself. It’s so easy to get lost in ourselves and this world. Sometimes you need to find your way back one tiny miracle at a time.” - The Sunshine Court
WISHING THE HAPPIEST OF BOOK BIRTHDAYS TO @korakos! YOU DID IT AND ITS BLOODY BRILLIANT!
Please please excuse the disgusting things my iPad camera has done to this photo. This is the first time in years I’ve done something like this fully traditional and it has stretched so many rusty parts of my brain but I’m SO GLAD I got this done in time for release day! This book is WONDERFUL and I’m so happy it’s now out in the world!

if Zoro asked Luffy 'would you still love me if I was a worm?' Luffy would be vibrating out of his skin with excitement detailing how he would take care of Zoro and build him a special little enclosure and make him little swords out of sticks so he can still achieve his dream of being the world's greatest swordsworm and feed him worm sized portions of meat and booze everyday and carry him around everywhere so they can still do everything together.
he also delightfully rambles about how he could be a worm also and they'd go on worm adventures together and make friends with all sorts of other bugs and how much fun they'd have.
edit: there's fanart for this scenario now! show it lots of love it's absolutely adorable!!!
