For example, if you score a critical hit with a Dagger, roll 2d4 for the damage, rather than 1d4, and then add your relevant ability modifier. If the Attack involves other damage dice, such as from the rogue’s Sneak Attack feature, you roll those dice twice as well. Max Crit DnD 5e Package Description.

Specifically, I wanted to throw out some possible critical hit effects and see what people think. At the moment, I'm thinking that these would happen in addition to the usual doubled damage dice, and would apply to NPC attacks as well as PCs. Cold: speed reduced by 10 ft. (Strength save ends).
Crit Charts – 5th Edition D&D
While I’m not quite ready to institute these crit rules into my 5th edition game, I’m certain I’ll eventually do so. Crit charts are a familiar house-ruled mechanism for RPGs that I used extensively back in the 2E hey-days. I’ve gone all out here and created a crit chart for every damage type listed in 5E. Slashing, Piercing, Bludgeoning, Acid, Fire, Cold, Poison, Necrotic, Radiant, Lightning, Psychic, Thunder and Force. Take a look and offer your suggestions/tweaks.
Some rules I’ll be instituting to go along with these crit tables.
1) Roll on these only when 2 20s appear on an attack with Advantage.
2) Roll standard crit damage first and then roll on the appropriate Crit table for an additional effect.
Here is the Slashing Chart as an example but I have provided the link to the originals that are on my google drive.
