History WebVideo / Verum

* KrakenAndLeviathan: The Mistviathan, a BonusBoss that can appear throughout Glies. It briefly appeared in "Pride of the Nightwolf", and was vaguely implied to have been responsible for the attack on the Maidens Scorn in "Lost at Sea".

The streams of ''Verum'' have two unique draws that help separate it from other ''[=DnD=]'' shows. The first is that it has very high production values, featuring original art for almost every character and monster, as well as original music to go in the background. The second is the choice in players, in that every player is an internet influencer of some kind: Youtubers, Twitch streamers, cosplayers, other dungeon masters, and even voice actors. Chances are, if they're a popular internet nerd, they've either played with Arcadum, or he's trying to get them on board.\\

Arcadum [[https://www.twitch.tv/arcadum streams on Twitch]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Taltaken has a Youtube page,]] which, among other things, serves as a repository for streams of previous campaigns.\\

* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Enemies with the 'Ruthless' trait are capable of attacking player characters that have been defeated, hastening the process in rendering them KilledOffForReal. Taken UpToEleven with 'Hopeless', where the enemy will actively ''go out of their way'' to do this (Fortunately, only a few extremely powerful and plot-critical bosses have that one).

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: '''Oh yeah'''. Just look at all of those campaigns up there, each with their own party of player characters, as well as a variety of [=NPCs=] in each one.

''Verum'' is a universe created by dungeon master Arcadum. It was built off of a heavily homebrewed version of the 5th Edition of TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons, featuring races, locations, mechanics, and lore unique to it. It is both dynamic and interconnected, meaning that the actions of players within it can leave lasting effects on the world, and potentially have effects on the campaigns of other parties. Verum has an official (albeit still under construction) website that can be found [[https://worldofverum.com/ here]].\\

There is also an official WebComic taking place within the ''Verum'' universe called ''[[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/chronicles-of-verum/list?title_no=513908 Chronicles of Verum]]'', though it has been cancelled, as detailed below.\\

* DevelopersForesight: Arcadum is known for being ''incredibly'' thorough. Every occasion of a player managing to catch him unprepared is considered notable due to how rare they are.

** The party of "Scrolls of Not'Chek"/"The Divine Wind", especially in how most of the members are deliberately {{Joke Character}}s. We have Anaalius, a Samurai [[TheStoner whose body has been ravaged by constant drug use]] (and that's [[ManChild if you can even get him to fight at all]]), Mataal Ika, a Bard [[GiftedlyBad who sucks at playing music]], Scribbles, a [[NervousWreck neurotic]] Sorcerer who's utterly terrified of her own magic, Schmeg, a Warlock [[TheNapoleon who talks much bigger than he is]], and whose spell list is largely devoid of offensive prowess, and Brewbad, a melee-oriented Warlock who's also a Dwarf that's pretty much [[StopBeingStereotypical an anti-Dwarf]]. However, their creative problem-solving and ability to work together saw them obtain a number of interesting boons as they successfully completed Scrolls, and some of their shortcomings were patched up in the lead-in to "The Divine Wind".
** ''Definitely'' the party of "Among the Reeds"/"Servants of the Spire", comprised almost entirely of characters that are some combination of incredibly sociopathic and/or immensely stupid; it says it all that a barbarian who talks like Randy Savage and craves Ho'Ask milk is ''by far'' the closest thing they have to an OnlySaneMan. In their case, though, their ability to ([[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds intentionally]]) accomplish much of anything thus far has been hamstrung by their constant bickering and infighting.

* BorrowedBiometricBypass: In "Into the Mists", Baeth [[spoiler: uses the hand of one of the Purging One's deceased human crew like this to give themselves additional security clearance when speaking with it]].

* ArcNumber: Seven. Verum has seven continents, one of the worshipped gods is a group called the Seven, each wielding one of seven different powerful colors. A tale tells of how Lord Death made seven promises and the symbol of [[BigBad the Violet]] is a seven pointed star.

* BigBadEnsemble: The Glies Arc is shaping up to have two major enemies: [[EldritchAbomination Otikata]] and [[FakeKing The Pale Emperor]].

* RealityBreakingParadox: Weaponized marvelously in ''Scrolls of Not'Chek''. The Dust that the heroes encounter causes anyone who gets a whiff of it to go into an astral projection state, where their soul leaves their body as they commune with the gods. In episode 5, however, [[spoiler: Anaalius hucks a vial of the stuff into Norubaga's face. Norubaga ''does not exist'' - he's just a memory that they encounter in the scroll. Thus, the interaction between a substance that affects the soul vs. a being with no existence at all causes the reality around everybody to collapse, sending them to the Black Mirror and erasing Norubaga from the fable]].

* AerithAndBob: Names tend to range from the mundane (Jerry, Madeleine, Eli), to the fantastic (Ikkar, Talis, Brewbad), to the ridiculous (Dik Cok, Moe Kowbull, Goker).

* AdvancingBossOfDoom: In "Pride of the Nightwolf", the party ends up catching the attention of an Engorged One while in the Mists. Arcadum makes abundantly clear that they stand absolutely ''no'' chance against it under the conditions they were in, forcing them to run away. [[spoiler: Even when Richard Freeheart and the Nightwolf attack it together, they only bring it down to a bit over half health before it grievously wounds the latter and outright kills the former]]. Fortunately, by the time it reaches the party, the Mists have receded, rendering it vulnerable enough to give them a chance.
