Critical Hit (podcast): Difference between revisions

If you came looking for the Game Mechanic which results in high damage, that's over [[Critical Hit|here.]]

 

 

The plot of the campaign follows a [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] as they try to stop The Void, a group of [[Eldritch Abomination|Insane Gods]], from invading their plane of existence. The first and second seasons had them racing to keep the [[Colony Drop|Moon from smashing into the Earth]], and now, in the third season, they've been recruited by a [[Celestial Bureaucracy|Higher Power]] to help cleanse a part of the Astral Sea of the remaining Lunar Monsters. The group includes [[Squishy Wizard|Orem Rivendorn]] of the Eladrin, [[Big Guy|Halston Thorkelson aka "Torq"]], [[Gadgeteer Genius|Randus du Thane]], and [[Mysterious Past|Smith the Sorcerer]],{{spoiler|who has since been replaced by}} [[Loveable Rogue|Ket]] the Half-Elf Warlock. In Season Four, they're joined by an elf ranger, Trelle.

It does take occasional breaks to answer listener questions, and Stephen and Rodrigo have created a set of podcasts which focus on Game Mastering 101, with its own set of characters. (Episodes 58-62).

 

 

You can find the episodes [http://www.majorspoilers.com/media/criticalhit.xml here], or download them from iTunes.

 

* [[A God Am I]]: Literally, The Thing That Shatters The Sky, plus all the other Gods of The Void.

* [[A Wizard Did It]]: Well, technically some Insane [[Eldritch Abomination|Gods]] did it - the moon is explained to be livable only due to the will of The Void.

* [[Adventure Towns]]: Moonhold, The Exilarchy of Cogs' city, and Diamond Throne.

* [[Alien Sky]]: Two: One happens after The Void's first attempt to {{spoiler|smash the moon into the Earth}}, described by Rodrigo as constantly red, filled with clouds and roiling lightning. The second is when the heroes are {{spoiler|transported to the moon,}} described as a bubble surrounding the planet with a blurry view of the planet itself.

* [[An Adventurer Is You]]: It's a D&D Game.

* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Torq's [[Weapon of Choice]] is a Great Axe.

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: The End of Season 2 has our heroes {{spoiler|defeat He Who Shatters the Sky}}

* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Torq.

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The Void are a group of insane, evil Gods who inhabit the Campaign World's moon, plus the countless number of creatures they create and destroy on a whim, often sending them to fight the heroes.

* [[For Science!]]: Evoked by Randus occasionally, and The Queen's Rebellious Daughter.

** "Uhhhhh, funnelcake?"

* [[Shout-Out]]: Considering this is a show with 5 nerds, pretty much every episode contains a few references to movies, whether it's something one of the players say, or something within the campaign itself.

* [[The Roleplayer]]: Matthew appears to to be a glorious mix of this and [[The Loonie]].

* [[Title Drop]] - As the quote at the top of the page says, it's at least once an episode, plus whenever someone scores an actual [[Critical Hit]].
