    Ivy Insights

    The New Crits on the Block podcast is a comedic Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) podcast that has captivated listeners with its off-the-wall humor and irreverent approach to the game. Having joined the Church of YFPM (Your Favorite Player Matt) 18 months ago, I never could have anticipated the hilarity, fanart-inspiration, and friendships that would ensue from listening to this podcast. If you enjoy the comedic storytelling style of Dimension 20 and The Adventure Zone, then this podcast is definitely for you.

    One of the best aspects of The New Crits on the Block is its ability to seamlessly switch between serious emotional moments and comical hijinks. The cast's storytelling skills are top-notch, with moments that tug at your heartstrings or leave you in stitches laughing. The DM's preparation and editing also shine through, showcasing their dedication and love for creating an entertaining experience for both themselves and their listeners. Whether you're new to TTRPGs (Tabletop Role-Playing Games) or a seasoned player, every moment invested in this podcast is enjoyable.

    However, it's important to note that there may be some content in The New Crits on the Block that may not be suitable for everyone. There is occasional strong language and sexual content, which may not appeal to more conservative listeners. Additionally, if you are a rules-lawyer or D&D gatekeeper who prefers strict adherence to the game's rules, you may find less enjoyment in this podcast as they often prioritize fun over rule-following. While these aspects may not resonate with everyone, they do contribute to the unique charm and humor of The New Crits on the Block.

    In conclusion, The New Crits on the Block is a magnificent comedic Dungeons and Dragons podcast that stands proudly alongside other popular shows like The Adventure Zone and NADDPOD. With its hilarious shenanigans, entertaining tangents, and captivating characters, it has the power to restore your soul and cure any blues or depression. The chemistry between the cast members and the DM is magical, creating an experience that feels like sitting down with friends for a good time while rolling some d20s. So if you're looking for a good time and a strong, original campaign, this podcast is an absolute must-listen.
