If you came looking for the Game Mechanic which results in high damage, that's over here.This page is for the Actual Play podcast Critical Hit, a Spin-Off of the Major Spoilers Podcast, in which the hosts and a couple of their friends play in a 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons campaign. The team is made up of gamers who are completely new to Dungeons and Dragons, those who have been playing since Third Edition, and even one guy who's been playing since the AD&D days. The show itself is a pastiche of learn-by-example play, nerd humor and old-time radio serials.The main campaign, "Void Saga", follows a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits trying to stop a group of Insane Gods from invading their plane of existence. It started at level 1 and ran several years before concluding in 2020.The podcast occasionally answers listener questions about D&D or tabletop games in general, and a set of episodes focuses on Game Mastering 101. Between seasons, they often run other game systems besides D&D 4e.You can find the episodes here or download them from iTunes.

 Critical Hit (Podcast) / int_15adb9a8
comment
Never Split the Party: Discussed and Defied. Despite the party's best efforts to stay together, the gods force the main party to split up to achieve their goals more quickly. Fortunately, the players already had characters from How the Other Third Live to add to the split party, and so most of the second half of the season is alternating between the two halves of the split party.

Orem: At first he uses a Magic Wand, but later decides to opt for a Cool Sword, appropriate as he's the closest thing the party has to a leader. Interestingly, he only started actually hitting people with it after some coaching by Torq.

Sneaky Departure: Ket repeatedly during the adventure. It's implied he did this a lot off-screen, but it becomes a problem once he loses the favor of his goddess.

Badass Family: The Rivendorn/Grayborn family from which Orem hails. Both of his parents and his sister are extremely competent spellcasters, and that is to be the case for the generations before him. This is the reason why the family name carries some weight.

World Shapes: When the party is brought to Oversight Headquarters, we learn some of the world geometry of various vertices in the Critical Hit universe. They're just as varied as the vertices themselves. As a bonus, there are 12 vertices in total, connected in such a way where they make up a 20-sided Icosahedron.

Off the Rails: At end of this season, the GM had a denumont all planned out, but the players decided not to go anywhere near where it was happening, so as a result they didn't actually see how things wrapped up or who was left alive. Rodrigo said in the next episode that his mistake was giving the players the option to go somewhere else.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Trelle and Ket often act as red and blue oni respectively towards each other in most of their scenes together. With Trelle favoring impulsiveness, openness and emotion vs Ket favoring caution, decorum and observation. Trelle and Kammis also fall into red oni/blue oni (with Trelle yet again being the red) to a lesser extent. Elves and eladrin in general can be seen as a case of Red Oni, Blue Oni on the scale of the nation as well.

Can't Argue with Elves: Stephen constantly plays Orem as disdainful of Elves and condescending towards all non-Eladrin. No one seems to be disturbed by this. This is explained early in the show as a hypertrophied version of the trope when Rodrigo describes the Eladrin to Stephen for the first time: "Eladrin are to regular elves as elves are to humans."

comment
Friendly Fireproof: Averted viciously, as per Dungeons & Dragons rules. Torq in particular has lost count of how many times he was set on fire by his allies, but he is far from the only one to be on the receiving end of an ally's area of effect spell. Interestingly, Sekhar joined the Critical Hit crew with a hefty fire immunity.

Healing Factor: One of the side effects of Smith's... issues is that he regenerates while bloodied in battle. A misreading of the rules in an early fight caused it to go up to eleven for that fight, rendering him nigh-unkillable. Various monsters the party encounters also have regenerative capabilities

Catchphrase: The main one is Torq's "Uh... whut?", but Randus' "Indeed" is a close second. In the third season we appear to have Ket's "I don't cheat; I very rarely bluff" as a new one. Rodrigo often has NPC's say "I see" in response to the party's shenanigans. Torq also seems to have taken a shine to "I duck." in response to any attack made against him. It usually doesn't work. Trelle's Stare. Rodrigo has 'Anyway' when trying to get everyone back on track.

Horrible Judge of Character: Early on, the GM expressed concern about whether the players were playing the game "correctly", but couldn't really say why. As discussed after the end of the game, it turns out the player characters were very much not the skeptical investigator types the GM was expecting, and consequently they trusted the Big Bads most out of anyone in the story. Given that, they missed a whole lot of clues and they were basically doomed to fail from the start.

Take Your Time: Averted rather brutally in season 4. First the party accidentally wasted several months because of the time-manipulating Greater Fey. Because of that, the party's mentor concluded that their quest is lost, and succumbed to despair, which led to his death. Which, in turn, led to his own best friend going mad with grief and taking over the world. Second, at one point the party has about a year to prevent The End of the World as We Know It. Having to do it on tight schedule and having to decide which Side Quest to accept and which to abandon provides much tension through the season, as the party cannot afford to stop and save everyone.

11th-Hour Superpower: Woah, when did timid, non-adventurer Tekiotl learn to summon a demon?! And when did Orem learn to summon a dreadnaught?! And why didn't they use that earlier?!

Blue-and-Orange Morality: The Void are gods who see no problem with creating and destroying entire races at their will, and constantly vie for dominance over one another, not caring who gets in the way.

 Critical Hit (Podcast) / int_fc07d409

Hopeless Boss Fight: At the end of the first half of the season, when the party fights Spud for the first time. This was one of the most controversial things Rodrigo had done, with a wide range of reactions from fans. He later defended his choice, stating that you couldn't manufacture the "soul crushing defeat" he was aiming for in any other manner.

Weapon Specialization
 Critical Hit (Podcast) / int_fc148c2c
comment
Weapon Specialization: Each of the player characters has at least one. Orem: At first he uses a Magic Wand, but later decides to opt for a Cool Sword, appropriate as he's the closest thing the party has to a leader. Interestingly, he only started actually hitting people with it after some coaching by Torq. Randus: A Crossbow, with lots of crazy attachments and gizmos. By season 3, he's also been using his Robotic Arm as a weapon. Torq: A Great Axe, fitting his status as The Big Guy. Smith: Daggers, though he doesn't fit the trope as he uses them to channel his magic rather than cut people. Ket: A Whip, fitting his status as a swashbuckling rogue. Trelle: Uses two types of weapons; either longswords, or bows. Sekhar: Duel-wields a matched pair of swords. Little Sparkle: An infinite number of daggersnote really just one that returns instantly to her hand that she can throw when needed.

Gondor Calls for Aid: A big chunk of season 3 consists of this. Unusually for this trope, the allies the players are trying to recruit are of less than savory kind, as the players need help of all the gods, including the evil ones, in order for their plan against the Void to succeed.

Talking Is a Free Action: As per Dungeons & Dragons rules, it is. The characters do not usually abuse it and restrict themselves to a few short sentences (and if they don't, then the Game Master will step in). The players, however, are another matter, with quips, references and tactics discussions spanning the majority of the combat time.
