In this lively continuation of The Critshow's Season 7 Q&A, the cast reflects on their journey through the Fate-based Clockwinders campaign, sharing heartfelt memories, creative triumphs, and behind-the-scenes insights. The episode is filled with laughter as players recall their favorite NPC moments—like Maxine’s awkward comfort to a grieving Doris, Cade’s panicked flight from his old employer, and the chaotic joy of Tass’s rhinoceros, Apple Sticky Hands. The hosts also discuss character builds, GM mechanics, and the emotional weight of pivotal story beats, including Aynan’s letter to Rattigan and Sevna’s transformation from villain to reluctant ally. The conversation turns nostalgic with personal highlights: the first time a new player was jokingly 'killed' on the show, the profound impact of TJ’s arc, and the joy found in outtakes from Perilous Tides. The episode closes with a playful tease of the upcoming Teens with Attitude game, a Power Rangers-themed session led by Tass, and a heartfelt reminder of the show’s enduring spirit of friendship and creativity.
Embrace flaws—characters' weaknesses are often the most memorable and fun moments in a game.
The best storytelling happens when players and GMs collaborate organically, even if it means breaking the rules.
Small, improvised moments (like joking about a character’s death) can create lasting emotional connections.
Trust the process: even if a mechanic like the Fate clock isn’t used, the story still thrives through improvisation and character-driven choices.
The most powerful moments aren’t always in the plot—they’re in the laughter, the camaraderie, and the shared vulnerability.

Favorite NPC & Character Moments
“I love that we just kept blurring this line. There was also a written character you guys never interacted with that I forgot about until now.”
Character Build Reflections
“I don’t want to be good at everything because that’s not interesting. So the things that we are bad at are the funnest.”
GM Advice & Mechanics in Fate
“I should use these things against you. Starting a business can be overwhelming.”
“I truly felt so, like, part of the team. Because then it was like, all right, where does this go? Because it's going to go somewhere.”
“I was hoping that when you saw him, you'd be like, is that just fucking... Is it just him in different clothes?”
“I knew she had genuinely turned this corner, but they can't count on that to be true.”
