this time it's a cosmic calamity!

Once upon a time, Dungeons & Dragons ruled the RPG world. Today, there’s a enormous library of games covering every setting imaginable—sci-fi, cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic, horror, and beyond. Major publishers let you explore your favorite movie and video game worlds, while indie creators (some right here in Arizona!) bring hundreds of new stories to life for you to experience through your character.

At Crit Hit, we serve up a taste of it all. Since 2016, we’ve built a vibrant community of RPG Game Masters (aka GMs) and proudly offer one of the largest varieties of RPG systems in the Phoenix Metro Area—with plans to keep growing.

“Great GMs, great staff, keep it going and if you're in the area and not supporting these folks, get to it!”

~ Josh P, 2024 Attendee

“CritHit 6 (July 2024) was one of the best TTRPG experiences I've ever had! Really excellent turn-out, plus signing up for and running games was super simple through Congeon. I can't wait till CritHit 7!” ~ Keith W, 2024 Attendee

Board games? Oh, you mean Monopoly, right?
Well… not exactly. Sure, we’ve got retro classics (yes, even Monopoly), but when we say board games, we mean the big, shiny boxes you’ve seen on YouTube or at Target and Barnes & Noble (though we always recommend your friendly local game store first!). Think strategy, co-op, deck-building—an endless variety that can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re new.

That’s where we come in. Our game library stays current, our board game GMs are ready to teach, and we use the free app Dized to help you learn popular titles solo. Seasoned player? Grab a table, check out a game (or bring your own), throw up a “Players Wanted” sign, and dive in. You might just walk away with a new favorite—and new friends.

“One of the most fun cons I've been to in a long time. Professionally run, easy to navigate, and friendly to newcomers. I'll be back with friends.”
~ Justin Sirois, Game Designer/Creator/Writer - 2017 Attendee
