‘Smooth Critical’ is an actual play D&D adventure where Dungeon Master Avani leads her three gorgeous gladiators/real-life college friends (Himay, Harry, and Charlie) as they adventure through the homebrew world of Exumoria. Enter a world shaped as much by monsters and magic as by the party’s wildly inconsistent relationships with NPCs. Allies become enemies, enemies become friends, and every conversation is a persuasion check waiting to go wrong. Expect epic moments, bad decisions, heartfelt roleplay, and dice rolls that absolutely wreck all of Avani’s plans. But that’s improv baby.

    C1 Ep.11: A Father's Love

    What do you do when you get a second chance at life? Well, if you’re the Monos, you take a beat, share some heavy secrets, and get right back to the political grind. The elections are finally here, and with a bit of brutal honesty (and maybe a promise to tax the rich), it’s time to see if La Granda's Village is ready for a whole new era (Taylor’s Version).

    C1 Ep.10: The Lotus and The Hellebore

    In an endless, quiet garden, the cycle of renewal and decay begins its slow turn. Close your eyes and feel the warmth on your skin. Weave your fingers in the cool, damp dirt you sit on. Breathe in the fresh air as the cycle of life moves around you. Don’t forget the secrets you’ve uncovered and the secrets you’ve been told as you crash back to reality...

    C1 Ep.9: The Cat's Pajamas

    As the mayoral race turns from cold to boiling, the Monos find themselves at odds with 2 out of the 3 candidates. But there’s no time to linger on that, as the semifinal and final matches are quickly approaching. Do we think the Monos stand a chance against the Kitten Claws? How about The Sibling Mages? How will they fare against one man with a vengeance?

    C1 Ep.8: Fat Cats & Night Caps

    Welcome to Drummond’s shiny white McMansion. Can I get you anything? Some dinner? Raw chicken feet in lime green jello? A very strong drink or two (or three or four)? So, three cheers for the Monos as they toast and raise their glasses for some potential new allies.

    C1 Ep.7: Pounce and Fury

    From limb upgrades to campaign promises, the Monos are finding that every favor in La Granda’s Village comes with a price tag. But the real heat starts with their first battle in the Pounce and Fury Festival. So come one, come all, and join the tabaxis as they cheer for none other than Toby and, you know her, you love her, the Notorious B.E.R.T.H.A.

    C1 Ep.6: Death and Tabaxis

    A bonk to the knee and a breakfast sandwich later, the Monos are officially on the run. But as they trade the Agni Arena for the woods around La Granda’s Village, they quickly learn that in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and tabaxis. Between Abe’s confrontational diplomacy and a run-in with the CVPP, the party finds themselves entangled in local tensions. But when don’t they accidentally make themselves the center of attention?

    C1 Hex and The City: Cinerium

    Welcome, Sexy Hexies, to a special episode where we put our improv skills (or lack thereof) to embody the women of Hex and the City, a crystal cast that takes place right in Exumoria. The half-elf ring leader Cariel (Avani), feisty halfling jersey girl Chanora (Harry), cute but gullible satyr, Myranda (Charlie), and the very, very problematic high-elf Sylvena (Himay) talk about all the hot goss that has been happening in Cinerium right after our PCs let the dragon out.

    Since we just finished our first mini-arc, we thought it would be fun to recap our favorite moments so far and throw out some theories about where the story is headed. So welcome in! Please, sit by the fire and warm yourself as we have a little chat.  Attributions "Our Story Begins", "The Pyre" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
