A group of friends have their lives turned upside down when they find themselves placed as the last line of defense between the everyday world and the things that go bump in the night.This actual play podcast uses Monster of the Week and other Powered by the Apocalypse games, all within the same dimension hopping narrative, to follow the Indiana Paranormal Task-force (IPT) as they are thrust into the front lines of a battle they didn't know existed.

Why listen

The Critshow is an actual play series for listeners who like tabletop RPGs with a strong ongoing story instead of a loose hangout format.

It is best for people who want a long-running campaign podcast with friends-at-the-table chemistry and enough structure to follow from season to season.
