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.

I KNOW I'm mashing up gen 1 and 2. But this is def how it felt when I got just a *little* older.

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

Some people are opportunistically mad about a game of make-believe fantasy, and Fox News and The New York Times are ON IT. www.foxnews.com/media/dungeo...

Fox News headline: "Dungeons & Dragons causes controversy with rule change over identity: 'Some character traits have been divorced from biological identity,' a New York Times report reveals."

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

Friendship ended with Sorting Hat.

Now PHYLUM is my BEST FRIEND.

SORT YOURSELF.

🦈 Cordata
🦪 Mollusca

The "friendship canceled" meme rejecting the Sorting Hat in favor of phyla of the animal kingdom.

Sinners is set in the city of Clarksdale, MS. Problem: there’s no theatre there. So, the citizens wrote to Warner Bros to bring the film to them. Today they & Ryan Coogler did! What a beautiful day!

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.

An old autobiographical comic I used to draw called The Blue dinosaur made me the most internet famous I’ve been back in 2016 for a day.

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??

Question: have you ever commandeered a cannon to destroy a prison?

Well WE have! Check out episode 43, "We don't have to kill EVERYbody"!

Still wild that his dad took Tecumseh’s actual name. Reinventing disrespect was their whole game.
