Almanack Umora: Maps & Stats

Episode Map

How much the cast said, per episode

Eursulon is Eursu-gone

I've got two theories about the behind-the-scenes of Book 1, one of which is gut feel and the other which has some data to it:

  1. Gut feel: Book 1 was meant to be 5+ arcs, but when Brennan got the Critical Role gig, they condensed everything into a jumbo Arc 4 to avoid cutting into his prep time.
  2. Lou's availability was limited after Arc 1. You can see his time on-mic drops after episode 14. He also doesn't have as many NPC connections, which suggests it felt safer for those points of contact to be handled by Aabria & Erika.

Sidenote: Don't compare Brennan's bar to the players'. In order for you to see any variation in the players, I needed to give Brennan his own color scale.

Satellite NPCs

Protagonists exert a gravitational pull on minor characters, and in WBN, most NPCs orbit just one PC. Each point on this chart shows how evenly a character is shared by the PCs, with Will Gallows being spoken to equally by all three, Ghost being spoken to mostly by Ame and Suvi, etc.
