Let’s Get Critical

Epic tales of science-fiction, fantasy and horror. Welcome to RxOliver, where me and my friends play all kinds of tabletop RPGs, from the giants like D&D and Call Of Cthulhu, to the smallest and most obscure indie games. Mature themes and immature people. Partnered with Brotherhood Of The Dice, events and characters in this universe may exist in that one and vice-versa.

Cozy Crypt is a homebrewed D&D(ish) podcast, crawling with creepy cryptids and Appalachian folklore. Played by an independent group of life long nerds, and created by a story-first centered GM, enter a strangely comforting Southern Appalachian town called Cozy Crypt. Nestled between reality and myth, follow four modern-day misfits as they bond with cryptids, settle into the weird, and navigate a world where the land has far more to hide than anyone can know. With immersive storytelling and a setting steeped in spooky charm, Cozy Crypt is a homebrew actual-play adventure featuring a hilarious, immersive cast. They are BIPOC and LGBT+ inclusive, so whether you're a seasoned dice-goblin or just here for the vibes, there's a seat at the table for you. Now grab your dice and some sweet tea... it's time to cozy up, in the crypt.

Nat One are a group of British D&D players, most of whom have been playing together for over 9 years. Curse of Strahd is something DM Jenna has been waiting to run for about two years and now... It's finally happening. Jenna (they/them) is using the Curse of Strahd: Revamped coffin-box edition of CoS, with inspiration and advice pulled from /u/MandyMod Reddit post "Fleshing out Curse of Strahd", ideas from DragnaCarta's Curse of Strahd Reloaded and, of course, portraying the story and NPCs in their own unique way. As an ex-teacher with a First Class degree in English Literature and Creative Writing (and almost a PhD in emotion mechanics in the TRPG), you are guaranteed to feel their passion for the craft of storytelling. Nat One's players also have similar backgrounds, with interests in literature, writing, education, development and emerging narratives. Take a look at the cast below: Cast Rebecca (she/her),  (she/her), playing the female Drow Circle of Stars Druid: Eylirae Val'Aonar. Rebecca is playing the young (70) studious daughter of a Priestess of Lolth, so has grown up wihin the matriarchy of the Underdark and left due to personal differences regarding the treatment of men. Andrew (he/him), playing the male Half-Orc Way of the Ancestral Dragon Monk: Friendly "Wee Scrapper" Tiene. Andrew is intentionally playing an unintentional misogynist who believes that women need protecting and that men are much more capable. Tabitha (she/her), playing the female Human Devotion Paladin of Torm: Lady Arabella Thistlethwaite. Tabitha is playing a noble lady who is the youngest of her siblings and expected to be a soldier when, really, she would love to be a lady of leisure. Lauren (she/her), playing the female Aasimar Order Cleric of the Red Knight: Lucia. Lauren is playing the reincarnation of Tatyana whose soul, in this adaptation, actually managed to get out of Barovia and is brought back in. That's not the only surprising thing about her... NPC-ish Players: Gemma (she/they), playing the male Human Vistani College of Swords Bard: Ravi Kovachi. In this adaptation, Ravi is Madame Eva's grandson; a Vistani Guide who leads the group to Barovia in the first place. Would you trust him? Beth (she/her), a larper since childhood with years of roleplaying and monstering experience, will also be coming in later on as Volenta Popofsky - If you know, you know. These episodes have been edited to remove all the long pauses, rules clarification and off-game speak to create a much more comfortable listening experience. This means the episodes are shorter, clearer and easier to follow. Jenna creates the art, thumbnails and records and edits without the use of generative AI (AI SUCKS!). Nat One do not accept requests for commissioned art, as we prefer the things we create to be created by ourselves. Nat One hopes you have a lovely, cosy little time listening to the horrors that will befall these wonderful characters in the world's most notorious D&D campaign: Curse of Strahd

A narrative-play podcast telling the stories born through play-throughs of solo TTRPGs.

Six Axes is Kerf & Code's D&D toolkit: a session-analytics and GM platform that captures and transcribes play, plus multi-system builders, a hex world map, and an offline voice/typed rules compendium spanning D&D, Draw Steel, Lancer, Daggerheart, PF2e, and Dark Matter. It is still in Alpha and I am looking for testers and artists.

DCC Monsters is a free site for Dungeon Crawl Classics judges who need a stat block in a hurry. Type a name into the search and you get a DCC stat block, converted from D&D 3.5, with a Copy to Clipboard button so it drops straight into your notes. Users can add their own monsters and variants too, so the directory keeps growing past the 3.5 catalogue. The encounter generator picks monsters for you by type, environment and total hit dice, and with a free account you can save what it builds, run it in the combat tracker with HP and notes per combatant, and roll or set everyone’s HP in a click. Judges can set up a campaign and invite players, and players can keep their characters on the site and add them to the campaign. The site went fully free in October 2026, with no subscriber tiers. It’s built and run by Jeff Demers, who has been running games since 1995.
