SUb 100-plays, 4 stars, medium length arcs

I thought i'd trawl some random arcs, and chose these parameters to avoid arcs already played to death, DCs and guesst arcs, and single mission farms.

First arc that caught my eye was

Crazy Train, by @Floride Arc ID 119239

It's a 3-mission comedy arc affectionately using the heavy metal music genre for its characters and its laughs, and I thought it was great fun. Terrible ticket haul, unfortunately, but pretty much a laff-riot for anyone who likes classic metal.

Medium length will probably exclude a lot of arcs. I've got 3 mission arcs that are considered "Long". The length statistic takes into account number of objectives and map size as well as number of missions, so if you stick to medium then most arcs you'll play will probably be around 2-3 missions, or if it has more it'll be kinda light on content.

Not all single-mission arcs are farms. That aside, I look forward to seeing what you find.

Yeah, that's the main reason. My chosen parameters weren't very scientifically derived lol. First i hit 'search', which gave me all the DCs etc. So I checked the 4-star button. That gave me loads of arcs with plays in the hundreds, so i clicked on page 4, and then page 6, and then page 11 lol. Loads of single mission arcs which seemed by their descriptions to be farms (plus titles like 'Rescue the Communications Officers!' kind of gave a lot away) were still clogging it up, so I chose 'medium' I didn't choose 'long, because i quite fancy playing some 3-mission arcs, basically.

The next arc I tried was

TRIUMPH SERVER LEGENDS --- GOBLYN QUEEN X HEREBOY AMIA SHIRZAZI HEX, Arc ID 284447, by @Basquait

It was 2 missions long, had no briefing, no contact bio, and the first mission was set in the Ruladaak cave. I sallied forth, intrigued by the nav's instructions:

' 2 Lost Souls, CROM, Hereboy, Nemesis Enforcer, Welcome to Hell, THE REAPER, PRAETOR OF HELL, DEATHMATE '

The first spawn I met was 3 legionaires and a boss. I'm at default difficulty on my en/en blaster.

The fight was averagely challenging. I continued, and found the GOBLYN QUEEN X, a lvl 52 EB fire troller. Thank heavens for RotP!

A few more Cimerorans further on, I spooted DEATH ahead:



He wasn't on the Nav, so i decided to stealth past him.

Then I clocked 'Xavier Von Doom', an AV! Also not Nav'd, I left him alone lol.

Finally finding one of my Nav objectives, the Nemesis Enforcer, lvl 52 EB, I rather timorously attacked.




To no avail.

I had to give up, there, I'm afraid. I guess it might be fun for a team of EB-bashers, but there's nothing really there, storywise, at least as far as I got.

Bit of a shame, since the Objectives are quite amusing. I thought it might be shaping up to be a sort of B-movie classic.

Chronicles of the Old Realm: The Lord of Dread by @Robin Everheart (Arc ID: 2890) is officially listed as Long but is only three missions so it feels more like a Medium. It mainly leans on set design for its strength since it is designed as a homage to some of the Robert E Howard fantasies. Simple fun but with some rather hard end bosses so I would advise against soloists.
