We are spilling the tea in a bonus episode all about what has been happening this summer with Critical Role! We have reports from Comic Con and Gen Con, as well as tips for going to other cons this summer.

We answer questions like: What’s it really like to go to a live show? Is the VIP package really worth it? and Should you wait in line for merch? These and other hard-hitting questions are covered by our correspondents in the field.

Gina returns as our guest host and we are joined by our special guest Sara, from Tales of Exandria.

We will also cover when too much tea was spilled and the C4 announcement was spoiled. What do we think is in store for Campaign 4? All this and more in this Bonus Action episode of Critical Role Models!
