  • Critical Lit: Curse of Strahd 06 - Velcome to ze Dollhouse
    It turns out life (and unlife) at Castle Ravenloft is as zany as the town of Barovia is dour. Trade the gloomy mists for the crack of lightning, chanting witches, the clacking fingernails of crawling claws, and a bevy of rats, bats, cats and other killers. In this episode: Chapter 4 (Random Encounters, Blinsky toys, Ezmerelda d’Avenir, Rahadin, Poster Map, Walls of Ravenloft).Support us on Patreon to hear monthly bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/CriticalLitContact us:Email: [email protected]: @CriticalLit.bsky.socialDan Dillon: @dandillon.bsky.socialI-Hsien Sherwood: @ihsien.bsky.socialAmelia Som: @ameliasom.comSal Tamarkin: @sal.gayCover art by Aram Vartian: @aramvartian.com

  • Critical Lit: Curse of Strahd 05 - Kids These Days
    It's 10pm in Barovia. Do you know where you children are? Strahd does, and he has plans for them. Or maybe the hags will get to them first. If only you could tear yourself away from these delicious meat pies. In this episode: all of Chapter 3 (The Village of Barovia, Blood of the Vine, Mad Mary, Ireena, Donavich & Doru).Support us on Patreon to hear monthly bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/CriticalLitContact us:Email: [email protected]: @CriticalLit.bsky.socialDan Dillon: @dandillon.bsky.socialI-Hsien Sherwood: @ihsien.bsky.socialAmelia Som: @ameliasom.comSal Tamarkin: @sal.gayCover art by Aram Vartian: @aramvartian.com

  • Critical Lit: Curse of Strahd 04 - Gnostic Nosferatu
    Only some listeners will be able to comprehend the mysteries laid bare in this episode. And only some of those will be compelled to pursue the eternal truth. The rest are condemned to a base existence, sated by the wit, humor, and dulcet tones of your hosts, never to glimpse the esoteric reality of the conversation. Do not pity them—ignorance is a reward of a kind. In this episode: Strahd as Gnostic Demiurge, map of Barovia, Areas of Barovia A-Z, Madam Eva, Mad Mage.Support us on Patreon to hear monthly bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/CriticalLitContact us:Email: [email protected]: @CriticalLit.bsky.socialDan Dillon: @dandillon.bsky.socialI-Hsien Sherwood: @ihsien.bsky.socialAmelia Som: @ameliasom.comSal Tamarkin: @sal.gayCover art by Aram Vartian: @aramvartian.com

  • Critical Lit: Curse of Strahd 02 - You Got Fogged
    Curiosity gets the best of us, and any one of Strahd’s ploys would be enough to drag us into the prison plane of Ravenloft. But three out of five adventure hooks prefer Creeping Fog. Ask your GM if Creeping Fog is right for you. Side effects may include asphyxiation, exhaustion, and resurrection madness. In this episode: using the Tarokka deck, the portrayal of the Vistani, Adventure Hooks, Death House.Support us on Patreon to hear monthly bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/CriticalLitContact us:Email: [email protected]: @CriticalLit.bsky.socialDan Dillon: @dandillon.bsky.socialI-Hsien Sherwood: @ihsien.bsky.socialAmelia Som: @ameliasom.comSal Tamarkin: @sal.gayCover art: Aram Vartian
