Thursday Oct 26, 2023

There's lightning in the sky as the Ride or Dies confront Ginny, but the mood doesn't stay bleak as an old friend returns. Back inside Prim’s Proper House, La Revolución takes the time to go through the info they just gathered at the Palace, and start to open up with each other in the process. By the end, the Friend Group has a sense of where they’re headed next, Jasoo has a lead on someone from her homeland, Titan has gotten a proposition from Prim, and Jo has discovered the contents of Erika's brooch.
Then, in Dirty Crit, we reflect on the choices our characters are making, or almost making, and what separates them from murder hobos.

The mission to find the whereabouts of Popular is underway, and the Ride or Dies won’t let any D'Largo stop them. The action doesn't let up from top to tail!
Then, in Dirty Crit, explore Dante’s Limbo, and discover the golden tabo.

The House of Prim (Episode 19)

Wednesday Sep 27, 2023

Wednesday Sep 27, 2023

The Ride or Dies head back to Prim’s Proper House to figure out their next move. Jasoo gets in touch with some electric emotions, Jo gets in touch with the mood of her dad, and Titan discovers that someone else has been in touch with their dad–all in all, lots of dads and moods. After putting in a good think, everyone splits, and La Revolución heads toward the palace. Their costumes are on point, and their strategy seems sound, but at the very last moment, their cover gets blown. 
 
Then, on Dirty Crit, the conversation ranges far and wide. 
Torsten still can’t find the exact quote he references, but he thinks it might have been on the Coyote and Crow Instagram account @coyoteandcrowgames (which is well worth a follow).

The Ride or Dies take a moment to get their bearings at Prim's Proper House before heading back to the parade. Titan learns about Eryka's baggage, literal and metaphorical, Jo reunites with her dad, and Jasoo gets a clue about her spiritual connections. La Revolución is born at the climax of the Float Contest, and even the Duke is speechless as the people of Stormhaven finally learn what's marching toward their walls. As the square clears out, The Friend Group stands off with soldiers surrounding Prim, but even the House Mother is prepared for the news that General Kargo brings. 
Then, in Dirty Crit, Deanna has notes! We discuss beautiful moments and the most despicable crit!

Racing after the mysterious figure who blew up the parade, Eve and party find themselves tearing through the streets of Stormhaven. When the clues start to add up, they wonder if they might have missed the real action–but there's more than enough action to go around. In the process, Jo feels out what her mother’s necklace can do, Jasoo puts her smites to work, and Titan just might meet her match. When the dust settles, the party is left wondering what just happened–and what is that thing she’s wearing???
Then, in Dirty Crit, the conversation ranges from the mechanical side of things into discussions of what it’s like to be the target of control spells. Also, a look at what you do what someone's coming out of your mother's house, and at how tight the party is becoming.

Queen’s Day Parade (Episode 16)

Wednesday Aug 16, 2023

Wednesday Aug 16, 2023

Finally back in Stormhaven, where their adventures began, the party sets off toward the Queen’s Day Parade. On the way they run into some new faces, and some that have gotten quite familiar. Jo looks for her father, Titan reconnects with her House, and Jasoo gets some *wink wink* attention. Once they find the parade, however, things get explosive. They manage to quell any immediate danger, but finding the originator of the conflagration might prove to be a little more difficult.
Then, in Dirty Crit, a glance at how badly Tor got womped, a deep look at what “allyship” means, and a perusal of what each of the characters felt during the session.
We’ve got some exciting stuff coming up, some of which will be accessible only to Patrons. The good news: you can try our Patreon content free for seven days! Check it out now:

While the party is still reeling from their foray to the Grey Heron, the Koro army is spotted moving out from Typhon Head. Malaia jumps into gear, and helps the party decide where they’ll go next. They bid farewell to many fine folks, and find themselves with nobility in tow. Jo throws privacy to the wayside, Jasoo discovers the structure of the region’s religion, and Titan brings as many clothes as the Little Sip will hold. But as they sail across the bay, a new development is spotted on the far shore.
Then, in Dirty Crit, the Couples of Crit almost get political. Join us as we dive into divisive topics ranging from Fox News to Nietzsche, Shakespeare to the Constitution.
