Special-Event Campaign

A Special-Event Campaign is a Campaign that takes place on or because of a certain holiday or event, such as Halloween, Christmas, or a Birthday. This tradition was unintentionally started by the Noah Soul, with Fish D&D on Halloween of 2015. However, the tradition was intentionally continued by the Micky Soul with Halloween D&D (2016). Special-Event campaigns typically take place on Halloween, with the second most occurring special-event being Christmas.

Prior to 2017, on each of the Soul's Birthday, they would be allowed to serve as the Architect of a campaign in the spirit of the nearest holiday, such as Halloween or Christmas. This led to the campaigns Halloween D&D (2016), and Fish D&D 2; which were designed and carried out by the Micky and Noah Souls respectively. Since then, Special-Event Campaigns had become more rare, and no longer occur on Soul's Birthdays. This had been due to the difficulty of scheduling one, rather than a lack of interest.

There has been a renewed interest in Special-Event Campaigns in 2021, but whether this amounts to anything remains to be seen.

Trivia

 * When acting as the Architect for Halloween D&D (2016), Micky had originally planned to create a video into based on the anime opening, A Cruel Angel's Thesis. However, it was not finished in-time for the campaign and thus, never seen.
 * Although Mason was slated to have a campaign in November 2016, he opted not to do it as he deemed his campaign 'not ready' to be played. As a result, the Untitled Campaign was never played and the details of the planned campaign were never released.
 * While the Fish Universe had its first two installments as special-event campaigns, the Fish D&D 3 is not a special-event campaign.
