Greetings everyone, Danny (aka Bartoneus) here! You may have noticed that late last week and over the weekend Critical Hits was in “Retro” mode and now that our layout is back a lot of things are still messed up. A lot of the problems stem from a completely honest and understandable accident, but the end result is hopefully a better framework for the site. Unfortunately the last full backup we had was in May of this year, so we’ll be working through today and tomorrow to get all of the missing images back up and hopefully have everything back to normal soon!
Mouse Guard Diaries: The First Duel
Oh yes, another series 🙂 Last night my friend PM dropped by the house for an impromptu geekout. We had a great session of armchair producing of potential remakes of Star Wars over Pizza and beer. We than played a game of Carcassone (loved it) and Dominion with Nico (my son won at Dominion, again). […]

City of the Overmind: Nipples of Chaos, Part 2
See part 1 here. Cursed item to the rescue! The session’s first scene was eventually concluded with the adventure more or less back on track. We had a 20′ tall Flaming Angel instead of a draconic blob. I was cool with that. Heck, I would have been happy with the Marshmallow Colossus from Ghostbusters as […]
Review: “Kobold Quarterly #11”
There’s a reason every review I see of the Kobold Quarterly magazine compares it to the Dragon and Dungeon print magazines from years passed, even opening a PDF of the book and seeing the cover makes me immediately think of seeing those issues in my local book store. The comparison goes well beyond the cover, however, through the whole interior of the publication that screams nostalgia…
City of the Overmind: The Nipples of Chaos, Part 1
Chatty DM (wiping laughter tears ): Guys! Enough with the nipple jokes! I think I’m going to put that into the game report’s title. Mike: You’d never dare, this stuff is always left out your reports. Chatty DM: Just watch me… This last game session was a strange, strange beast. On the one hand, we […]
YouTube Tuesday: We Were Googled Edition
Because I’m so excited that it’s finally been released to the public, I present to you “Googled”, a short film based on one of my short stories that previously appeared in the Welter literary journal. Even though I wrote it, I still get chills at the end. I hope you enjoy it.
Pain of Campaigning: Literature and Adventure Planning
Much of gamer culture is shared and it’s not very interesting to rip something off that everyone instantly recognizes and inevitably metagames for. That’s where literature comes in.
Chatty’s Halloween Post: The 2012 Zombie Apocalypse
This one is for The Maze, Scott, and HermitDave, and is a 100% RPG post inspired by my Influenza article. I give you the Zombie Apocalypse RPG Trope Post! Zombies are people, too… Okay, dead people, with poor verbal skills. And the only communication they understand is blowing off their heads. – USA Network commercial […]
