Crit Happens LIVE from Evercon: Save Lord Evercon

The Universal Neomagic Isolation Team has been deployed. When chaotic magic spirals out of control, when probability itself begins to fracture, and when reality starts rolling far too many natural 20s… UNIT answers the call. Live from Evercon, this all–Wild Magic Sorcerer squad is thrown headfirst into the Realm of Evercon, a world where games shape reality and stories refuse to end quietly. Lord Evercon, the creator and protector of this chaotic plane, has been kidnapped by the sinister Cult of the Carps, who seek to bring about the Final Page and end every story across the multiverse. With unstable magic, audience-controlled chaos, and a realm on the brink of collapse, the team must fight through shifting dice-fueled landscapes, repair broken stories, and survive the consequences of their own wildly unpredictable power. Will they save Lord Evercon and preserve the spirit of the game? Or will this be the final Evercon Gaming Convention? ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Rewrite This Story" - Written and performed by VAELYN"Sirius" (Chicago Bulls Theme) - Produced by Toners"Paid in Pain" - Written & Performed by Twisted Game Songs Thank you to Evercon Gaming Convention for the opportunity to perform live all 3 nights of Evercon 2026! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Legal Disclaimer:Crit Happens is a work of fiction intended for entertainment purposes.

The Unwritten Favor Part 3: The Infiltration

The Agents of the Scalebound Syndicate infiltrate the Dominion High Administration Complex in search of Magistrate Halveth Korrin, navigating polished halls and buried secrets in the heart of sanctioned power. What begins as a focused investigation into one man’s cruelty unravels into the discovery of damning records and a Ledger that changes everything. The episode closes on a cliffhanger that hits far closer to home than anyone expected. Sponsored by Dungeon Trader (dungeontrader.app), Evercon 2026 (evercon.org), and Scrybe Quill (scrybequill.com). Intro and outro music, “Rewrite This Story,” by VAELYN.

Nat 20 & Unwind: The Devil in the Details

This episode of Nat 20 & Unwind is less of a recap and more of a group therapy session. We unpack the moment everything went off the rails. The decision to draw from the Deck of Many Things. The instant regret. The devil shaped consequences. And the exact second the campaign politely stopped following the outline. Spencer breaks down how The Unwritten Favor was supposed to continue, how chaos rewrote the session in real time, and why Svara’s pull sent everything into a tailspin. The cast laughs, winces, and processes the kind of fallout only tabletop games deliver. No spoilers held back. No plans survived. Plenty of feelings. Pour a drink. Take a breath. This one needed a cooldown.

The Devil in the Details

We sat down ready to continue The Unwritten Favor. The plan was simple. Enter the complex. Push deeper. Deal with consequences later. Then the Deck of Many Things entered the chat. One card pull. One bad idea. One perfectly on brand decision by Svara. Everything immediately derailed. This episode spirals into chaos as infernal consequences take root, reality bends under poor life choices, and a very patient devil takes personal interest in ruining someone’s future. The mission pauses. The danger escalates. The table laughs. The nightmare begins. This is not a clean chapter. This is fallout. ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Evercon 2026 Badges: http://crithappens.show/evercon Intro Credit: @Valkienyx on Instagram ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Our Sponsors: http://www.scrybequill.com http://www.dungeontrader.app ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ This episode of Crit Happens! is an independent production.

Nat 20 & Unwind: The Unwritten Favor Part 2

This Nat 20 & Unwind sits in the aftermath of a heavy chapter. We slow the pace, talk through the choices that mattered, and unpack what it feels like to say goodbye when the dice are not the ones deciding. The table reflects on character growth, quiet consequences, and the emotional weight carried forward into what comes next. Laughter breaks the tension, honesty fills the gaps, and the group takes a needed breath before stepping back into the fire.

The Unwritten Favor Part 2: The Goodbye

In this episode, the party faces a quiet moment that carries more weight than any battle. After everything endured, they are forced to stop, breathe, and let go. Choices are made with intention rather than steel, and the cost of the road behind them finally comes due. As plans shift and resolve hardens, the world does not pause to mourn. It watches. The path forward remains open, but something vital is left behind, not in failure, but in honor. ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Our Sponsors: http://www.scrybequill.com http://www.dungeongrader.app ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Intro Credit: @Valkienyx on Instagram Evercon 2026 Badges: http://crithappens.show/evercon ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ This episode of Crit Happens! is an independent production.

Nat 20 & Unwind: The Unwritten Favor

In this episode of Nat 20 & Unwind, we decompress after The Unwritten Favor. We talk through Nyros, the reveal of The Unwritten, and why this session hit harder than a normal combat night. We unpack the moral pressure, the Syndicate reactions, and how forcing truth without giving guidance changes the table dynamic. We also discuss player reactions, hard choices, and what it means when a campaign stops asking what is right and starts asking what you are willing to carry. And Zebulon may or not lose money for his tavern, The Whisperfang...

The Unwritten Favor

In The Unwritten Favor, the party enters the Frostline Watchtower and comes face to face with Nyros. A new faction is revealed, and they believe memory should never be owned, erased, or hoarded. Truth must be spoken. Once faced, it should be allowed to rest. Nyros offers a bargain tied to truth and consequence. The party must decide how far they are willing to go once a confession is complete and silence is no longer an option. This episode focuses on tension, authority, and responsibility. No clear villains. No clean victories. Only choices that leave marks. What happens after the truth is spoken matters more than the truth itself.
