How to Ruin Everything: Third Person on Conflict, Mishap, and Catastrophe in Storytelling. 

They say stories need conflict, but how do you know how bad it should be or even what it is? Join Third Person (Creators of the Midst Cosmos) in a conversation about stories gone sideways, making terrible things happen to your beloved characters, and how to balance catastrophe with fun in games, fiction, and more from the perspective of storytellers who do just that.

Recorded Live from Excalibur Con 2026.

Critical Role | Campaign 4 | Episode 38 (Seekers) 

Hero to many. Enemy to some. When Thjazi Fang is marked for execution, various figures from across his remarkable life unite to uncover the truth behind his grim fate. In a land still suffering from the fallout of dead gods and living in the shadow of a tumultuous rebellion, these disparate people will come together across the fractured world of Aramán and connect in ways they never imagined.

As hope and victory fade, a question hangs over Aramán. Without the Gods, what great deeds now fall to us? And who, or what, shall grab their crown for themselves?
