About Critical Nerds

Hi there. This podcast consists of some 5E D&D content as well as many other TTRPG's.  We have a variety of campaigns going on and always more on the way.  There are also a few fun One Shots that we do here at Critical Nerds.  We try to make this family friendly but the odd swear word does come out if the situation needs it.   Feel free to join the discord and listen to us when we are live.  So sit back, relax and enjoy :D https://discord.gg/ynD7CgqqQm
