Critical Nerds
Hi there. This podcast consists of some 5E D&D content as well as many other TTRPG's. We have a variety of campaigns going on and always more on the way. There are also a few fun One Shots that we do here at Critical Nerds. We try to make this family friendly but the odd swear word does come out if the situation needs it. Feel free to join the discord and listen to us when we are live. So sit back, relax and enjoy :D

They had to report to Vi with what they learned and then find out what was next in store for them, and they were finally rewarded for their efforts with gear and coin. But as with most things lately, their new gear would soon get tested. So sit back, relax and enjoy.

We picked back up our story after emerging from the cave we found ourselves in, and realizing we were back on the topside of Veilmist Isle and the lighthouse was above us. As the whole village was there to watch the Beacon be placed back in its rightful place, our party finally gets to watch the play that they were about to perform for them the last time they were here. But what is that play and what are these people hiding? Sit back, relax and find out.
