**Episode is out a little late due to some technical difficulties and travel. Due to the delay, our next and final episode of the season is planned to air the first Thursday in August (if the technology gods will it so). Thank you for your patience!**

The Campaign 4 conversation continues in this episode!

In part two, we dive into the new faces joining the table: Luis Carazo, Alex Ward, Aabria Iyengar, and Whitney Moore. We talk about the fresh player dynamics, first impressions, and which characters are already stealing our hearts and which ones are still making us say, "Hang on... I need another episode or two."

Then it's time for a full cast character breakdown! We discuss our favorite personalities across all three tables, the standout moments from both new and returning players, and speculate about where these stories might be headed. As always, expect a healthy mix of thoughtful discussion, wild theories, and the occasional tangent.

Finally, we geek out over Campaign 4's new mechanics. From cinematic cold opens to desperate measures and flashback sequences, we explore how these changes are making the world feel bigger, the stories more personal, and the gameplay more dynamic. Are these mechanics here to stay? We certainly hope so.

Whether you've already picked your favorite table or you're still trying to decide if you're a Seeker, Soldier, or Schemer, come join us for another lively discussion of the newest era of Critical Role. We laughed a lot recording this one, and we hope you have just as much fun listening.

Critical Role Campaign 4 is here, and everything has changed.

In this episode, we break down the first arc of Campaign 4 and dive into the bold new direction for the show. From Brennan Lee Mulligan stepping in as Dungeon Master, to the new world of Araman, to the West Marches-inspired playstyle, there’s a lot to unpack—and we are here for it.

We also explore the campaign’s new table structure: Seekers, Soldiers, and Schemers. What makes each group distinct? Which table would you want to play at? The scale of this campaign already feels massive, the open world is full of possiblities, and the factions are sharpening their knives…

And this is only part one!

In part two, we’ll dig into the new game mechanics, discuss the new player dynamics, and explore what lessons and inspiration we can take away from Campaign 4 so far.

Whether you’re excited, skeptical, or just trying to process all the changes, join us as we dive headfirst into the new age of Critical Role.

**While we discuss up to episode 26, there are only real spoilers for the Overture, Soldiers table and Seeker’s table**

Join us for part two of “I Knew You’d Be Little Sht*s,” our on-going celebration of the Critical Role cast being their most chaotic (or, as Matt Mercer would say, being “little sh*ts”). Because let’s be honest—there are moments that only happen at a D&D table. Where else do you hear a sentence like, “We superglued the golden phallus to her hand!”?

In this episode, we dive into standout moments from Campaigns 2 and 3: watch Chetney Pock O'Pea and Laudna take to the skies, and revisit the unforgettable interrogation of…a chair. Our hosts are in top form, delivering commentary that’s as sharp as it is hilarious.

And we’re not alone—special guest Spencer Wight returns to join the fun!

We had a blast recording this one, and we hope you have just as much fun listening.
