Welcome to the table everyone!

I'm Jonathan, Narrator of Halfwits & Failed Crits, an actual play podcast where the real big bad evil is the players' absolutely cursed dice.

Join us as we build rich living worlds to stumble through, meet weird foes and even stranger allies, and display reckless disregard for anything that gets in the way of a great story.

Currently you can listen to our Adventure Averse Journalists in a cozy fantasy called The Parable Infused Tribune, played with PenultiMyth, a game of our own design.

Then dive into our back catalog to experience our award nominated Sci-fi Epic about destiny confused space kids in Children of the Spine, played with Stars Without Number.

You can find us by Searching for Halfwits & Failed Crits on your favorite podcast app, or at HalfwitPodcasts.com.

Astrid Folstad (Kiley), John Coal (Bobby), Kamala Magar (Laura), Mohan Wayuu (Luis), and Nadia Kadir (Mary), are five years older and have lived a comfortable life in the newly established dorms of the Undarnott Service Co. They wake up, hang out, eat food, go to work, and hang out just to repeat the cycle the next day. Some of the party members are getting tired of the daily grind and want to look into exploration grants from The Principality of Vitr in order to find their true homes again.
