Hello and welcome everybody to a fantastic April Fools day announcement! The prank is, I decided to release what was the mini project I talked about as its own podcast rather than a new short season of Halfwits & Failed Crits. While it is a solo ttrpg journaling game, the final product felt way more right being its own thing, akin to a traditional audio drama, and if it does well we already have plans on how we can make more seasons of it. So in a minute you’ll hear the trailer, and a supercut of the first three episodes. 

But I have one last gift for you all before that. We are making amazing progress on planning the next campaign. We’ve made a rulebook of our own called PenultiMyth, made test characters, playtested some of the mechanics and they felt great so far, made 4 major factions with 36 fleshed out leaders within them, and have the world map, its biomes, and some key locations all planned out. If all goes well, the new Campaign will be launching in September! We are so excited to bring you with us on our new adventures!

Send us a Text Message.

The crew of the SPS Resonance has collected the artifacts, Learned critical information, made a new mech, and perilously flung themselves toward the final location on their map, not knowing what awaits them. What will they find there? Who will be waiting for them? Will we ever find out what this insidious Scream related plan entails? Find out on the Finale of the Prequel to Children of the Spine! 

Note from Jonathan:
Thank you all for listening to the Prequel to Season 2! If you enjoyed what you heard then hold on to your space pants because the rest of the episodes from here on out were recorded with amazing brand new equipment, featuring full sound design by myself, and music by Bobby Prater. The new characters are amazingly fun, the players bring their A game like never before, and the world alive and sprawling. We can't wait to bring you in! 

The next episode will be World Building and character creation, then a character backstory game, and finally the first real game, followed by a faction turn. We are switching to a 3 week schedule to make sure we always have time to push this content at its best quality. This new season has already doubled our listens, and knowing we are making something you all love is amazing. Again, thank you for being the best listeners.

Halfwits & Failed Crits Trailer

Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 -0500

Send us a Text Message.

Welcome to Halfwits & Failed Crits!

We are an actual play tabletop role playing podcast where Game Master Jonathan tries to get his players to the end of a campaign, even if their cursed dice have other plans.

Season 1 is Worlds Divided, a Dungeons and Dragons 5e campaign where an unlikely group forms a guild, and makes it their mission to upstage the top ranked guild in the nation. This is your standard Sword and Sorcery Fantasy, filled with monsters, quests, and mysterious rifts? You’ll see.

Season 2 is Children of the Spine, a sci-fi space opera where the players are young adults trying to learn who they are, where they are, and what they are going to do with themselves after being rescued from a very Lord of the Flies type situation on an isolated planet. There is also a prequel to season two where they play max level space pirates hunting objects related to the event that brought our Children together.

We also have some bonus episodes such as Backstabbing Beasties, where we play as immortal monsters racing to obtain a chalice that will make us mortal so they can finally rest in peace. We actually recommend that you start listening with Backstabbing Beasties, as it’s self contained, rules light so it’s easy to follow, and the first episode they recorded with great audio equipment and added tons of sound design that will become the norm in Season 2.
