Hey, everyone! The summer is heating up, and it's time for the Crits and Critters crew to take a little time off. A summer break, if you will! We're incredibly grateful for your support, and excited to see you... when next we return :)

Remember that time when Naute was mind-controlled and "had" to turn on the party?

Let's say, hypothetically, you write a very involved escort quest. Let's say you name the main NPC after a legendarily difficult escort quest from childhood.

Then let's say the party outsources to a group of NPCs. Hypothetically.

What do you??

Here’s art of the birds on our show!

Thanks for being weird and funny 👍🏼

An old sketch of what the Muck would look like.

The art of episode 4! The gang explored an ancient, hidden passage uncovered by Olicona’s cannon-fire.

My watercolors aren’t nearly as polished as all this but here’s a cute moment between two of our players!

The end of 2024 marks just over a year of releasing our show. We started humble and have remained so at something like 1,300 all-time downloads, but the joy of storytelling through tabletop RP just can’t be beat.

We’re honored to be part of the #dnd community and wish you all the best in 2025 💜💚💛

Shameless plug, our Way of Mercy monk is also 🎶a dicemaker🎵! And if you have a friend you REALLY like, you should get fancy dice from her, like THESE

(Her name is Winona Hwang and she’s amazing)

Episode 3 art! Everyone remembered they had phones in this campaign and some NPCs very suddenly burst into existing O.O

Omigosh mice with swords is our whole deal! This account is run by the DM (hey), so here’s the DMPC who runs around with the gang a bunch of the time. Posing the drawings with ourselves IRL sounds like a fun project!

In episode 2 of our show, the party comes together to fight a faerie dragon corrupted beyond saving after its home is destroyed by Olicona 😱

The potoo bird is having an unfortunate moment here but at the time of this writing he’s a 2 war cleric/6 fathomless warlock! 🔨 🌊

Fun fact about the spooky spectacular being released rn:

Austin (the DM for this event) is my (Andrés) cat Buttercup’s favorite person who isn’t my wife (Zoe).

If it sounds like Austin is narrating through an earthquake at any point, imagine Buttercup on his lap rubbing her face on the mic stand.

Well, hello BlueSky!! We're Crits and Critters, a #D&D (ish) podcast set in the #solarpunk world of Unu where magical animals use swords and lasers.

If you're unfamiliar, solarpunk is a budding genre that rejects the dystopian future of cyberpunk and tries to imagine what we *could* build. Join us!
