Crit and Grit Media
Welcome to Crit and Grit Media! We’re a group of storytellers, role-players, and dice-goblins dedicated to bringing narrative-focused tabletop adventures to life. While our first journey begins with Pathfinder Second Edition’s Malevolence, our mission stretches far beyond a single system or setting—we aim to explore countless worlds across Pathfinder, Starfinder, and Homebrew. At Crit and Grit, character stories sit at the heart of everything we do: the grit, the growth, and the unforgettable moments that bind adventurers together.
Crit and Grit Media is an independent, fan-created project and is not an official partner, affiliate, or representative of Paizo Inc. Malevolence, Pathfinder, Starfinder, and all associated settings, rules, and written materials are the property of Paizo Inc.
We’re thrilled to have you here at the very start of our journey—pull up a chair, get comfy, and enjoy the story with us.
