The arch-fey of rot is dead, and now the five kings of the fey forest have gone berserk! It's up to our heroes to stop them in this, our 50th episode of CRIT JUICE!

We want to sincerely and most humbly thank all of you. Those of you who have listened, tweeted, drank along with, hopped into a #pregame, rolled a dice and thought of us. Those who came to live events, or wrote disturbingly erotic fan fiction about our characters (... and sometimes us... ) to those of you who let us ride along with you on your commute, have submitted Crit Deck Cards, or doodled our characters on your player notes. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's been a lot of fun, and we're excited to have you with us as we hit 50 episodes.

From the warmest part of our heart, thank you.
We really couldn't do this without you, and we love you.
-All of us here at Crit Juice
