History YMMV / Verum

*** The constant tendency of Babylon to pop up for female players also becomes more unsettling, given that it likely wasn't that they actually found a way to call on him, just that Arcadum wanted his MemeticSexGod to interact with them.

** The party in “Shrine of Sin” (Kenji, Verp, Akakai, Worgh the Wyrd and Zhan Ren) are called “Shrine of Misses,” based on how they’ve had an unusually high rate of… Well, misses, even against enemies who have the minimal AC at ''10.''

** During Episode 5 of Otikata’s Curse, [[spoiler: after the players learn of the Ruthless trait, Veibae jokingly says she wants to see one of the players die, with Haruka claiming that it's going to be her. Becomes a lot less funny when that’s exactly what happens with Haruka’s character, River, dying and Vei’s character, Nia, as the last fighter standing while the others are unconscious, using a cursed action as a last resort and in grief...]]

*** The tendency of characters like Clifface Bonechewer and Hokky Kepto, who seem to have been explicitly meant to elicit sympathy from the players, to appear throughout "Death and Debts" and "Steel and Silence", given that the very same kind of tactics were often used by Arcadum on his victims.

** When the party of [[WebVideo/SteelAndSilence "Death and Debts"]], which was comprised of {{Virtual YouTuber}}s, mostly from WebVideo/VShojo, is brought to Camp Last Stand, they are informed about the Star Maidens, basically Verum's version of {{Magical Girl}}s, and a few people suggest making the party into Star Maidens, though nothing comes of it. Later in "WebVideo/OtikatasCurse", Lucine Lavendel, who is played by Nyanners, another [=VTuber=] from [=VShojo=], would become the first player character to actually attain this status.

*** “I no longer love the moon.”

** [[MemeticLoser lolmonk]] [[note]]The Shrine of Sin group have amazingly poor luck with their rolls in combat, but Kenji typically gets dealt with the worst hand. Being made the "goblin" of the group, checking for traps [[spoiler: and destroying a pillar that blasted him back for his troubles whereas Akakai and Verp dealt with their own ones and both came out unscathed in the final battle]] doesn’t help. The meme also extends to basically any other time a monk misses an attack roll.[[/note]]
** Crowley stonks [[note]]Crowley, while present in the Violet Arc, was relatively minor compared to the likes of Babylon or Wode. This changed in Chapter 1 of the Glies Arc, where, by ''sheer coincidence'', three different campaigns had players make clerics of Crowley (Kouki in "Ink and Blood", Aisu in "A Storm Approaches", and Eli in "Among the Reeds"), hugely increasing his impact on that part of the story. The resurgence of the Depthar in Glies didn't help.[[/note]]

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Lemondrop from "Pride of the Nightwolf". He gained some ire from both the campaign's players and fans due to not bothering to help the party in combat and constantly trying to come on to a grieving widower who obviously wanted nothing to do with him. However, some opinions turned around when his reasoning for his pacifism is revealed, he finds a way to make himself useful, and directly stands up to his brother and the Eclipse. This results in a fair few dismayed reactions when [[spoiler: [[WebVideo/OtikatasCurse Mei]] receives a contract to assassinate him]].

* HarsherInHindsight: In [[WebVideo/OtikatasCurse "Otikata's Curse"]], the battle against the Mistwalker became a lot harsher when some of the players eventually came to talk more openly about what happened afterward; for the sake of brevity, this effectively consisted of Arcadum dismissing their (very deserved) complaints, talking down to them, and leaving them pressured to simply try to look at the bright side rather than be open about how frustrated and out of their depth that they actually felt.

* WinBackTheCrowd: A slight example with "[[WebVideo/OtikatasCurse Otikata's Curse]]". Some members of Arcadum's community were critical of him for placing one of the main story campaigns for Glies in the hands of a VirtualYoutuber group, under the belief that they would goof off, heavily lean on sexual humor, and overall not take things seriously, something a couple people accused the last Vtuber group of doing too much of. Cue the first episode, where the girls's performance blew all expectations ''utterly and completely'' out of the water. Froot in particular wowed with her roleplaying as Mei, as did Nyanners with some surprisingly heartfelt moments as Lucine, though everyone performed extremely well. Following that initial episode was a number of apologies from several of these community members to the party for not believing in their ability.

** All of the sexual humor involving the [=NPCs=] goes from "funny" to "insanely creepy" when accounting for Arcadum's behind-the-scenes sexual harassment of the players that he would perform these scenes with.

** In Kalkatesh, there was the Violet, a threat that could not only erase a character completely, it would remove any memories other people had of that person. Even worse is any players who had more than one as through their connection, one of them dying to the Violet will eliminate ALL of them…

Even worse is any players who had more than one as through their connection, one of them dying to the Violet will eliminate ‘’all’’ of them…
** In Giles, there is the Mist, where when it appears, people are under threat of many disturbing and powerful creatures, ready to maim anyone inside of it. Many sessions involving them typically have the players try to sneak a way, encountering many disturbing creatures along the way.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: As amusing as the inept antics of the "Among the Reeds" party was, their bringing back the Mist as a result of a botched ritual was arguably a contributing factor in [[spoiler: [[WebVideo/OtikatasCurse River Styx]] being killed by a Mistwalker.]]

** 7 [[note]]Seven is a ''big'' ArcNumber in Verum, and thus any mention or roll of seven immediately sparks the attention of most of the chat.

* HilariousInHindsight: During Episode 4 of Shrine of Sin, Tomato jokes about pulling out a smartphone to check the weather. Verp later [[spoiler:''actually'' manages to get his hands on a modern tablet in universe.]]
