About Us

Crit Fails and Fairy Tales is a gaming community founded on the concept of building unique and memorable games that focus on the players and the stories THEY want to tell. From the beginning, it has been our goal to help our players elevate their gameplay experience to the next level by encouraging authentic roleplay and collaborative storytelling... but DON'T worry! If you're new to playing TTRPGs this way, our supportive community is always here to help you learn!
✦
Unlike some other online platforms, we curate and train our team of Dungeon Masters to guarantee a smooth and fun experience, and consistent quality across every campaign. This means you can expect professional voice acting, immersive worlds, and memorable storytelling that's built around the players, no matter the setting or style.
Some of our DMs run campaigns in worlds you may be familiar with, such as Faerûn or Eberron, while others will have their own unique worlds for you to explore. Both will tailor elements of the world and story to the Player Characters, making it feel like you are truly part of the world! We also use homebrew content, so be prepared for custom rules, magic items, races, classes, and more!
Campaigns always begin with session 0's that allow you to explore your backstory and meet just a few party members, enabling players to develop bonds with one another in a unique way before the full party convenes in Session 1. This also allows you to make sure the DM, campaign setting, and system are the perfect fit for you.
✦
You'll feel right at home in the Crit Fails community. Our Discord is home to a diverse, creative, and welcoming group of DMs and players of various experience levels who all share a passion for roleplay and storytelling -- and we're growing every day!
We keep our Discord Events up-to-date so you can see when sessions are happening in the server! Players are always welcome and encouraged to sit in and listen to other games!Join our Discord to get your journey started now!

Greetings! I’ve been enjoying the world of TTRPGs since 2016. I was always curious about D&D and finally took the plunge—and I’ve been in love with the game ever since.My tables strike a great balance between rich roleplay and exciting, tactical combat. I especially enjoy running homebrew adventures where anything can happen, but I also love guiding players through the iconic worlds of 5e. Some of my favorite modules include Curse of Strahd, Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, and Rime of the Frostmaiden.I craft adventures across a wide range of settings and genres: from daring heists in the streets of Waterdeep, to high-speed battles atop Eberron’s lightning rails, to creeping horror in the mists of Barovia, or even star-hopping on a spelljamming ship. Whether I'm running a published campaign or one of my own design, I focus on weaving character backstories into the narrative and making the world feel alive and responsive to player choices.Not in the mood for fantasy? I also have experience with Star Trek Adventures (2e) and would be thrilled to take a crew where no one has gone before!Systems:

My games are high fantasy stories focused on players' choices and themes. These campaigns tend to be set in my expansive homebrew world that I’ve been working on and adding to ever since I've been GMing! These stories take players from the fun (or horrors) of their backstories all the way to the higher levels of titan-slaying and worldwide stakes. Prepare yourselves for an adventure with tons of roleplay moments, intense story-driven combats, with the occasional lore-filled dungeon.Systems:

I run my games with about a 70/30 split on roleplay vs combat (respectively), utilizing player created backstories, taking into account what worked and what didn't worked in my past games I've run from various systems, as well as reverse-engineering the campaigns I've just been a player in to find out what worked about that to use as inspiration and advice in my future campaigns. I prioritize creating interesting characters, encounters and stories to make for a satisfying campaign that is tailor-made for the type of game my players wish to playSystems:

I run my games in a custom high-fantasy world, built from the ground up and ever-changing based on the players' actions. My campaigns are connected through characters and events that appear throughout all of them, each campaign taking place in a different section of the overall timeline. We focus on roleplay and storytelling, with a good mix of combat, dungeon crawls, and puzzles included for a full level 1-20 experience!Systems: 5e 2014/2024 mixed

DMtheTulio

I run my games utilizing the vast experience I gathered through playing different systems. I run player-centric campaigns based on either a module/set story that the players would like to play or entirely homebrew worlds centered around the idea of a world my players would like to create. I focus on creating satisfying campaigns centered around the type of play you would like to play, whether it be combat, roleplay, puzzles or exploration.Systems:

Hi, you can call me Eli and I love TTRPGs.My childhood was rich with systemless roleplaying games, just me and my friends or family creating stories in the woods between our parents' homes. The first system I played was D&D 3e, when I was 10 years old, so you would be underselling it to say that tabletop roleplaying games are my passion. Before 3.5e was released I had already explored roleplaying games beyond the d20, and so my focus has always been the connection between players and the tales we tell without limiting ourselves to one set of dice. I have been a dungeon master almost as early as my first games, giving me over two decades of experience across a diverse set of rulebooks. My favorite games to play are nWoD Mage, and GURPS 3e, because I think customizability in the context of a specific universe is important to framing a one-shot or a campaign. My longest running campaign was Exalted (three years). When I am a player I tend to create quirky characters.I want to play all systems, I've got a lot of experience across many of them and I can pick up new ones quickly. I will switch tones between scenes, and control the narrative between groups. I'm a master of many practical things, rather than a jack-of-all trades, so I admit to some shortcomings where the skills do not overlap.
