Neal Gallery 'Koibu' Pass Erickson creates various campaigns of live TabletopRPG campaigns live streamed over Website/{{Twitch}} set on his fantasy continent of Arcadia and other nearby lands.

Neal has developed house rules for ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' 2nd Edition & 5th Edition. He started streaming as a [=DMed=] for ''Podcast/{{Rollplay}}''.

The campaigns are broadcasted live on Neal's [[http://twitch.tv/koibu Twitch Channel]] and archived on his [[https://www.youtube.com/koibu0 youtube channel]]. Campaings with popular streamers are usually broadcasted and archived on the streamer's channels.

Here's the list of in progress campaigns:

Here's a list of completed campaigns:

[[folder:Dicing with Death]]
Neal and Ryan take turns Dungeon Mastering and playing various campaigns under the heading of Dicing with Death. The two friends have been playing this way since the mid 1990s. Because this game features only a single player, the storylines and character development are much deeper, faster, and more intricate. With frequent character turnover, the two cast members swap DM and Player positions giving the game a diversity of style you won't find anywhere else.

Episodes where Neal is the DM take place in Arcadia starting from Episode 58.

!!''Koibu'' as a whole provides examples of:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Tropes A to Z]]
Tropes for all the Campaigns.

----
* [[ActingForTwo Acting for a world]]: Neal plays the roles of all the [=NPCs=] the [=PCs=] meet.
* AnachronicOrder: Several campaigns occur before other campaigns, but made afterwards.
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: THAC0 is replaced with a bonus to hit on certain level ups.
* AnyoneCanDie: If a player character dies, they die.
* AWizardDidIt: Explanation given when things about Arcadia don't make sense.
* ChurchMilitant: Some Clerics & Most Paladins.
* ContinuityLockout: Averted. Each time a prior event from an older campaign is brought up, the characters are just told their in-character knowledge of it, with no requirement to watch the older campaign to understand.
* CorruptChurch: The churches to the gods 1500 years ago were said to be so corrupt they raised the ire of the gods themselves and they broke Arcadia.
* CourtMage: Each town and city has a Court Mage with the honorific title "Arch Mage"
* CrossDressingVoices: Half the [=NPCs=] that Neal plays are Female.
* CrossOver: Georg from Dicing with Death with on the Hardcore Heroes campaign. Many [=NPCs=] have appeared in the different campaigns.
* DeathIsCheap: Averted. No one has been resurrected in 1500 years in Arcadia.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance:
** Slavery is only legal if the slave was a captured POW (except in Mahtava).
** All males inside Mahtava are treated like slaves by the Female population, even ones from other kingdoms. Foreign Male Ambassadors have been rejected entry into the nation.
** Actions the nobility in various campaigns are legally allowed to do.
* DesignatedVictim: Kobolds
* DungeonCrawling: Common in all the campaigns.
* EnemyScan: In more recent campaigns, Neal will show the Health Bar of opponents.
* [[EverybodyHatesHades Everybody Hates Voraci]]: Many people fear Voraci, Goddess of Death. It isn't helped that an evil empire was raised in her name on the Continent of Solum.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Arcadian villains avoid [[RapeIsaSpecialKindofEvil sexual violence]]. Lord Tavington Jr averts this by demanding the right of prima nocta.
* FantasyPantheon: Arcadia is polytheistic like [[TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms ForgottenRealms]]. While many clerics can select a particular patron deity, they'll still typically pray to others for help in corresponding endeavors.
* FictionalCurrency: The Copper Standard, with Silver and Gold coins just representing greater value of copper.
* ForgottenBirthday: Characters seem to never celebrate their birthdays when the dates comes up on the timeline.
* FunWithAcronyms: '''[=GNoME=]''' (Gnomish Nation of Mighty Engineers)
* GenderIsNoObject:
** In most of the nations of Arcadia, all people have equal rights. Half of the Knights, Armies, and Rulers are female. [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman What Measure Is A Non-Human]] however applies where many sapient species aren't recognised as people, so don't have rights.
** Averted in Mahtava where the male population are an underclass, and wear slave collars.
* TheGodsMustBeLazy: While the gods will give powers to their faithful, they do not directly solve problems themselves.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Averted. The gods of Arcadia appear not to need prays for power.
* GreyAndGrayMorality: The war between Mistrya and Drekis.
* HalloweenTown: Fortune
* HouseRules: The 2nd Editon has been radically changed with houserules that it is called 2.Neal by the fanbase. Neal has a few house rules for his 5th Edition campaigns.
* ImmortalRuler:
** Count Vicious the Vampire ruler of Fortune & the Plains County.
