“If you are looking for a terrific listen in the “radio drama” tradition you’ve found it. I listen to them while I work and they are tremendously entertaining tales. The players and GM all do a wonderful job of unfolding their cooperative narrative experience!”

“How many times will Jason make players cry? How does Stu make me not hate vampire? How will Sam make it weird? At the end of the day this is one of my favorite groups to listen to. I actually removed critical role from my playlist because I liked these guys more. They touch a huge variety of...”Read full review »

“This actual play offers great stories that players explore from a variety of systems. It also looks a how these systems run if players and GMs are interesting in looking into new options.
The players bring a lot of different characters to bear and are great inspiration for home campaigns.”
