6 Years of Critical Hits: More Than Editions of D&D

October 20, 2011 by Dave

This is the year that blogging suffered a bit, but for a pretty good reason: we were actually game designing. For money, even! Also, we won some awards, so that’s pretty cool. And we had more dirty search terms. You’ll see.

Critical Hits: 5 Years and Counting

October 4, 2010 by Dave

This has been our biggest year yet: not just in post count, traffic, or any number of other metrics. It’s been the year with the biggest changes and the most happening here on Critical Hits, and I couldn’t be prouder of where we are today.

Inq. of the Week: Tell Us Your Critical Hit Story

September 29, 2009 by Dave

We’re coming up on our 4th anniversary this week (expect our usual yearly wrap-up this Thursday), and this year, we thought we’d do something fun. At gaming conventions this year, we asked our interview subjects about their favorite critical hit story (from any game.) We got some great responses, and will be typing those up this week, but we’d like to open the floor to you!

October 7, 2008 by Dave

From the Desk of the Editor-in-Chief: The time has come once again where we indulge in a little celebration.

Looking back, we definitely started a bit rocky, and it took us a while to find what we […]

Critical Hits is Two!

October 4, 2007 by Dave

Though the exact date of our start is undetermined- we were posting under a different name and address before we bought Critical Hits- today is a good enough time to celebrate us finishing our second year of posting, and entering our third! We did a little bit of reminiscing on our “One Year Later” post […]

Inquisition of the Week: One Year Later

October 2, 2006 by Dave

Critical-hits.com is one year old! We started in August of 2005 under the name “Great Justice” as a temporary site to get WordPress up to speed. Our staff then started exchanging emails about what to call the site. There were a number of names that I liked but were centered around “Nerd Pride” which not […]
