A fun and well-edited show. The characters and story are really entertaining.

As both a lover and player of Magic: the Gathering and DnD this just a home run! Great storytelling, awesome campaign, great players/voice actors. It also really does a great job of showing the plane of Ravnica. Absolutely, no doubt in my mind, 5 stars Edit: have now listened to it completely...Read full review »

Encounter Party is stunningly good. Most episodes are a great time, filled with action, laughter, and fun. Two days ago I was in tears from a moment so touching that it blew me away. A minute ago I finished listening to an episode so taut and suspenseful that I couldn’t breathe. The actors are...Read full review »

I don’t think that any other rpg podcast has ever been as great as this one. Brian is a absolute genius and the campaign is brilliant, as well as the cast. Keep up the great work!!

This podcast is amazing. I’ve never played D&D or MTG before but have always wanted to and listening to this podcast takes it to new heights LOL. The only bad thing I can say about this group is they make it hard to jump into a D&D group of your own, because how can it compete! Great cast...Read full review »

Very well produced podcast. The story is engrossing. The characters are interesting. Learning all about Ravnica, which is a setting I’m not familiar with.

Hands down the best editing and sound capture in the RPG Podcastverse, the world building by Brian (the DM) and the role playing by the cast is great. Even if you aren’t a huge fan of Magic the Gathering or the world of Ravnica (where the cast is set) I am still two thumbs up on this one.

Escuche varios de este estilo y por ahora este es mi favorito.
Matias RF via Apple Podcasts · Argentina · 01/27/21
Well spoken, and an ensemble cast. Simply the best DD5e and RPG podcast oration you can search for. Sit back and let the story inspire your imagination with amazing description and the best humour. More please!

Amazing podcast I would recommend it to anyone weather they play D&D or not!
Mr.Fanatic via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/17/20
I love me some Racnica and out of all the Ravnica podcast out there this should be the only one you listen to.
Corndog batman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/16/20
Yes. Yes, it is. If you’re a fan of well produced, well acted, funny actual plays, this is the podcast for you! Which Ravnica Guild do YOU think will come out on top? (My vote is, as always, for Dimir.) I needed to add this update, as we’re about 1/2 through season 3 and there are still story...Read full review »
Spider-Bat35014 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/08/20
Very well edited podcast, funny with a great story and terrific voice actors. A diverse set of encounters keeps each episode fresh. I love that the episodes are shorter, really easy to get into it. Love the mtg Ravnica setting but the DM does a good job in explaining background if you’re not...Read full review »

It’s funny, but why the video game music
Dat godly smell via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/21/20
I love this podcast, especially the way it's tightly edited. The attention to sound and the great pacing really propel the story. I finished Season 1 yesterday, and am currently working my way through the optional "bonus" materials (Behind the scenes and extra arcs) and then diving...Read full review »

Highly entertaining! Hats off to the DM and players!
theatregal12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/20
I've always found myself absolutely LOVING a few games, and not really getting into most. I've always laughed at the "kids these days" (I'm on the old-end of 'millennials') who like to watch other people play games... I don't get it. I wasn't sure I'd...Read full review »

Great voice actors and love the content! Awesome sound effects. Always make sure I listen to an episode before going to sleep!
Darvie25 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/23/20
Where to begin? A++ editing, sound, music, voice acting, STORY! It's all sublime. You will fall in love with these characters and it's like the perfect movie - drama, suspense, comedy, action! As an experienced D&D player I can honeslty say I was on the edge of my seat (still am after...Read full review »
KikiOKeyser via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/20
Cards on the table(top) - I haven't listened to much Critical Role. The actors are talented, its influence has been far-reaching, and the cosplay is just *chef's kiss*, but I'm daunted by the session-long episodes and continuity backlog. If Critical Role is Arrested Development,...Read full review »

As someone with little experience in my own D&D campaigns, but looks forward for the day to get back in, this podcast has made for a super good binge during the quarantine. Voice cast is always delivering and the overall production is top notch.

The show is phenomenal. Excellent Dm and wonderful addition of the Paladin in season 2. Dope cast with great chemistry. First show I’ve ever waited episode to episode for!
Diermuid via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/20
This is an amazing listening experience with spectacularly voiced characters! I’ve been working from home and in need of a distraction. A friend recommended Encounter Party! and it has served as not only a distraction but also some much needed company during my social distancing. I’ve only played...Read full review »
jat1127 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/15/20
The characters are a lot of fun and the story is great. You do not need to familiar with DND to enjoy this podcast. I’m re-listening to season 1 in between episodes of season 2.
ErinESeg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/20
I’ve never played DnD before but man does this podcast make me want to! This cast creates a story together that is exciting and side-splittingly funny and welcoming to all listeners, regardless of familiarity with the game. I’ve never binged a podcast so quickly or looked forward to my morning...Read full review »
@fightinmike via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/20
I’ve listened to a bunch of actual play podcasts, and while I appreciate that everyone loves Critical Role and TAZ, but I’d prefer Encounter Party any day. The editing is tight and removes all the slow bits that are really hard to listen to on other podcasts. Also their audio quality is...Read full review »
SetDesigner2020 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/20
One of my favorite D&D podcast. The cast is amazing, including the DM. Brian has a great grasp on the Ravnica lore that is spread throughout the campaign. The cast all play their character remarkably and to know a lore piece and hearing them come to realize what Brian has just told them makes...Read full review »

The production quality is top notch and I find myself anticipating new episodes each week. If you’re looking for a podcast to listen to, this is the one. Great energy and a lively cast. Thanks for your hard work!

Wonderful storytelling and a great bunch of actors. I love listening in each week!

This podcast rocks - from concept to final product, everything about this show makes it such a compelling listen. Give it a try - you won’t regret it!

I love this show, and Ravnica

Extremely well done guys. Never played D&D but had friends that played that and Magic, and I can relate
Hashtag82 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/19
You can really tell that those involved not only care for the game but are very comfortable with the group. As a DM this is the nexus that can produce an amazing game. To be party to the adventure I am incredibly excited to watch this group grow and flourish. Great editing Ned! Can’t praise it...Read full review »

I never played DnD, nor do I know much about that world. However Encounter Party has opened my eyes to everything I’ve been missing! It’s smart, clever, and keeps me at the edge of my seat every week. I can’t wait to hear what comes next!
Lakewood717 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/20/19
Compellingly told, well-edited, and with a cast of truly interesting voice actors, Encounter Party is a vivid, engaging role-playing radio experience.
Biiiiiirdman! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/19
Encounter Party! brings together Dungeons and Dragons and the MtG world of Ravnica in a compelling story of well-produced episodes without the boring bits common to other streamed or podcasted campaigns. The improv skills of the players (actors and voice-actors) are matched by the storytelling...Read full review »

Before I started listening to EP, I had a bad case of dandruff and swimmers itch. Two months later? GONE. Coincidence? I don’t know the meaning of the word!

Ned I think I saw you at gencon and you told me about the encounter party playing tower of gorn? Any way it’s a great podcast

This show is quickly turning into one of my favorite podcasts. Highly entertaining.
Tony Ambrose (ALA4) via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/19
I’m newer to listening to podcasts. This one was recommended to me by a buddy on a different podcast and I’m so glad I checked it out. I had a group of friends once upon a time that we would just bust out a rpg randomly and this is so reminiscent it’s amazing. The characters and story and sound...Read full review »

This podcast is so well produced you might not believe it’s an actual play. Great players, music, and plot. This is a must listen!
shortmanian444 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/19
Hey y’all, This is not your typical DnD podcast, it’s edited to give you a quick shot of your favorite game. Unlike most others where there is a lot of rolling and “uuuhh that’s a 16 pluuuussss 3? No! 4!” All that is cut out so the story is at the forefront. But don’t worry, there are still...Read full review »

ascameron via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/19
Love it! I’m about halfway through and they’ve done a great job making it an entertaining and fast-paced podcast while maintaining an authenticity to D&D gameplay. Can’t recommend enough!!
Wha-Whaaaaa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/19
Binged through the first 10 episodes, awesome show! Great acting by DM and players alike, interesting characters and a great storyline that got me hooked from the very beginning. This podcast even made me buy the Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica, even though I am a stubborn grognard who rejects...Read full review »

Encounter Party is set in the ecumenopolis (that’s a planet-sized city) of WOTC’s Ravnica, that has been adapted for Fifth edition D&D. The production level is high enough that the game sounds like an audio drama. It starts with a brawl, then deputising as punishment, then a grisly murder...Read full review »

While looking for some new podcasts since I’m caught up on all my other ones, this was recommended. Thanks for this. Just downloaded all the current episodes of the show and with the first one, POW! I’m hooked. Great dynamics with the DM and PCs. Party on!
