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 :)

This morning I learned that raccoons are called “wash bears” in a few different languages and it made me very happy.

Young blue dinosaur: "Wow!"

Blue: I like THIS one. he's WEIRD.
Oak: WONDerful!

Oak: Now take himoutside and make him beat the other little guys to near-death.

Oak: Don't forget to check in with your mother first!

Fun fact! Human “races” are made-up and stupid, and if Fox + the NYT agree on a thing you can safely assume that is ALSO made-up and stupid :) In our campaign: Elvyra the water deer - Eladrin stats Gertie the striped hyena - Leonin stats Naute the potoo - Owlin HanYing the cockatoo - Aarakocra

The audacity of these players. We do not calculate experience points because that is LAME. But how much has to happen before they get a milestone level-up? One big encounter? A couple days' worth of adventures? Real question. They keep asking. Send help.

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??

Nobody understands D&D less than the people in charge of D&D.

The employee believes that Hasbro treated Sigil like a video game instead of a VTT and at no point cared to understand the difference. While public perception focused on monetization from the jump, the company apparently expected Sigil to create revenue in a similar fashion to Magic: The Gathering or Baldur’s Gate 3: simply by existing. When that proved not to be the case, the employee said Hasbro pushed Sigil out of the nest and were uninterested if it managed to fly before crashing to earth.

Hey DnDSky. So we’re starting to look forward towards a second season, and while we’re agreed it would be nice to get away from the Coastal Wizards we don’t know what to replace 5e with. Don’t want super crunchy, just similar with maybe more character/RP built in. Any thoughts? #dnd #ttrpg #5e

The towers are biomimetic, inspired by desert beetle shells and spider webs. Vibrant sunrise colors, with touches of teal and copper. Terraced gardens and vertical greenery surrounding the base of each tower. Highly detailed architectural rendering style --v 6.0 --aspect 16:9 --style raw --chaos 5
