    Apr 27 2026

    After uncovering the truth about Orion and his connection to Magistrate Halveth Korrin, the unauthorized mission turns personal. The agents move to subdue Korrin and bring him out alive from the heart of the High Dominion Administration Complex, but the Dominion does not give up its monsters without a fight. With blood on the floor and danger closing in, the party must decide whether they can bring the Magistrate down before the Dominion closes in around them.

  • Crit Happens LIVE from Evercon: Save Lord Evercon
    Mar 17 2026

    The Universal Neomagic Isolation Team has been deployed.

    When chaotic magic spirals out of control, when probability itself begins to fracture, and when reality starts rolling far too many natural 20s… UNIT answers the call.

    Live from Evercon, this all–Wild Magic Sorcerer squad is thrown headfirst into the Realm of Evercon, a world where games shape reality and stories refuse to end quietly. Lord Evercon, the creator and protector of this chaotic plane, has been kidnapped by the sinister Cult of the Carps, who seek to bring about the Final Page and end every story across the multiverse.

    With unstable magic, audience-controlled chaos, and a realm on the brink of collapse, the team must fight through shifting dice-fueled landscapes, repair broken stories, and survive the consequences of their own wildly unpredictable power.

    Will they save Lord Evercon and preserve the spirit of the game?

    Or will this be the final Evercon Gaming Convention?

  • The Unwritten Favor Part 3: The Infiltration
    Feb 28 2026

    The Agents of the Scalebound Syndicate infiltrate the Dominion High Administration Complex in search of Magistrate Halveth Korrin, navigating polished halls and buried secrets in the heart of sanctioned power. What begins as a focused investigation into one man’s cruelty unravels into the discovery of damning records and a Ledger that changes everything. The episode closes on a cliffhanger that hits far closer to home than anyone expected.

  • Nat 20 & Unwind: The Devil in the Details
    Feb 13 2026

    This episode of Nat 20 & Unwind is less of a recap and more of a group therapy session.

    We unpack the moment everything went off the rails. The decision to draw from the Deck of Many Things. The instant regret. The devil shaped consequences. And the exact second the campaign politely stopped following the outline.

    Spencer breaks down how The Unwritten Favor was supposed to continue, how chaos rewrote the session in real time, and why Svara’s pull sent everything into a tailspin. The cast laughs, winces, and processes the kind of fallout only tabletop games deliver.

    No spoilers held back. No plans survived. Plenty of feelings.

    Pour a drink. Take a breath. This one needed a cooldown.

  • The Devil in the Details
    Feb 13 2026

    We sat down ready to continue The Unwritten Favor. The plan was simple. Enter the complex. Push deeper. Deal with consequences later.

    Then the Deck of Many Things entered the chat.

    One card pull. One bad idea. One perfectly on brand decision by Svara. Everything immediately derailed.

    This episode spirals into chaos as infernal consequences take root, reality bends under poor life choices, and a very patient devil takes personal interest in ruining someone’s future. The mission pauses. The danger escalates. The table laughs. The nightmare begins.

    This is not a clean chapter. This is fallout.

  • Nat 20 & Unwind: The Unwritten Favor Part 2
    Feb 6 2026

    This Nat 20 & Unwind sits in the aftermath of a heavy chapter. We slow the pace, talk through the choices that mattered, and unpack what it feels like to say goodbye when the dice are not the ones deciding. The table reflects on character growth, quiet consequences, and the emotional weight carried forward into what comes next. Laughter breaks the tension, honesty fills the gaps, and the group takes a needed breath before stepping back into the fire.

  • The Unwritten Favor Part 2: The Goodbye
    Feb 6 2026

    In this episode, the party faces a quiet moment that carries more weight than any battle. After everything endured, they are forced to stop, breathe, and let go. Choices are made with intention rather than steel, and the cost of the road behind them finally comes due. As plans shift and resolve hardens, the world does not pause to mourn. It watches. The path forward remains open, but something vital is left behind, not in failure, but in honor.
