Critical Nerds

Fun one today.  We are doing a 2 part homebrew adventure that happens in between the 2nd and 3rd adventure in Journeys Through The Radiant Citadel.  This will be an ongoing extra story that will take place when our players hit 4, 8 and 12.  This story takes place right after we arrive back at the Citadel from Godsbreath where our players helped save Kianna and awaken the sleeping gods to help replenish the lands.  But upon arrival home, they heard an explosion.  So sit back, relax and enjoy.

Please read the content warning at the bottom as this podcast is intended for mature audiences. 
We pick up our tale as the party from the wedding is about to end, but gets interrupted by some sort of undead corrupted polar bear as it crashed through the doors to the lodge.  What happens next leaves most of our players with a little less sanity.  So sit back, relax, turn off the lights and enjoy.

Welcome to the next Island on our adventure.  We left behind the dinosaur filled island of Primal Haven and right into something that's a mix of HP Lovecraft and Stephen King.  So sit back, relax and enjoy Veilmist Isle.

Well session 60 was a blast.  We start off with the final battle between our party and the would be usurper Morgrim Emberveil, before saying goodbye for now to Joe who has been playing Tooth since session 5.  He will be back at some point along our journey towards endgame, but we all thank him for the best of times and wish him well as real life steps in for awhile.  So sit back, relax and enjoy the end of the revolt at Winn Keep.

Well hi there.  Welcome to another new Critical Nerds podcast.   Our fun story takes place during the life and times of Erik the Red and his family as they move from Iceland to Greenland in 985 CE.  We start off with learning how our party gets to Greenland and the fun events along the way, then skip 17 years ahead to where our story takes place, in 1002 CE.  Now sit back, relax, keep the lights off and enjoy The Saga of Blood and Storm.

Oh what fun we had today.  We picked back up after picking Kragthar, the Earthbreaker to fight.  We all were ready to jump into whatever combat this island could toss at us, but the one in charge had other plans.  So sit back, relax and enjoy.

Well this was one for the books for sure.  We started off after waking up at Uncle Polders farm, packing up our stuff and getting into Lady Dre's cart on our way to Kianna's farmhouse.  But as always things happen and our players had a nice keystone cops moment.  So sit back, relax and enjoy part 3 of 4. :)

Okay this was an interesting one.  We started after getting teleported somehow to the gates of the tribe and realizing that a battle had taken place.  There was screaming and crying coming from inside and smoke and fire all around.  So sit back, relax and enjoy what happens next.
