Brian K. Vaughn’s Saga is the ultimate soft sci-fi, a space opera of truly epic proportions. The series centers around two star-crossed lovers on opposite sides of an interplanetary war, who put their allegiances aside to escape with their new baby in tow. Refugees in a hostile and alien universe, Alana and Marko have few friends and an ever growing list of enemies. It turns out that carrying a literal poster-child for peaceful coexistence doesn’t bode well for war propaganda, and the lovers’ former governments have ordered them to be eliminated to bolster moral. As this nuclear family vaults across the stars, they discover an extended found family in the alien worlds between. Romance novel writing cyclopses, ghost nannies, adorable seal-men with an arsenal of high powered weapons – each of these extraterrestrial oddballsaid Alana and Marko on their quest to find peace and quiet, and do so with overwhelming violence. To ensure a pristine future, sometimes you gotta get your flippers dirty in the present.

Critical Role‘s Campaign 4 is just around the corner. The fourth core chapter of the beloved TTRPG actual play series is on the way, and this time, it will be helmed by Brennan Lee Mulligan—yes, for the first time in 10 years, Matt Mercer won’t be the game’s Game Master, he’ll be in the player’s seat. Of course, he’s not the only one. Critical Role recently revealed an all-star cast of season D&D players who would be taking a seat at Campaign 4‘s table. But who they would play remained a secret… Until now. Critical Role Campaign 4 has officially revealed the character name and official character art for each of its 13 cast members/players. Let’s take a look at all the new adventurers we’ll meet in Aramán.
Every New Character From Critical RoleCampaign 4: Their Name, Their Grouping, Their Character Art, and Who Plays Them
In Critical Role Campaign 4, the characters will be divided into three groups: the Soldiers, the Seekers, and the Schemers. In short, the soldiers are “are the people who are interested in a traditionally charged combat and conflict-driven story mode—where the non-violent answers were few and far between.” The Seekers are “people that tie directly into lore, cosmology, magic, big questions around problems facing this universe that are in the weave of the dance between divinity and arcane, and magic, and demons, and fairies, and dragons, and these big kinds of questions. It’s very classical fantasy.” And the Schemers are into “intrigue, espionage, skullduggery, and relationships with each other and other NPCs and instituations and the machinations of power. Their adventuring looks like cloak and dagger.”
We believe that the Soldiers will wear orange/red. The Seekers will wear blues and purples. And the Schemers will wear teal/green.

When it comes to dating, we often talk about what we consider to be “red flags” and “green flags” of potential partners.
A red flag might be a partner who dodges questions or keeps secrets. A green flag might be someone who is good at communication or plans meaningful trips.
