If you’re looking for an actual play podcast, this is not for you. It’s so edited and highly produced I question whether or the players actually ever sit down at a table together (virtual or otherwise). If you want a highly produced story, you’ll probably enjoy it.

What a let down. It’s hard to believe this came from Critical Role. I’m completely a Critical Role champion and I’m just shocked at how difficult this was to listen to. I know early episodes can be rough but everyone read their lines and the GMs might as well have been ChatGPT. The whole thing...Read full review »

I came to this having never listened to Critical Roll, but instead had started with The Adventure Zone and Dungeons and Daddies. It has a good story and very high production value, but it turns out I like my D&D party silly, only vaguely aware of the rules, and with lots of table talk. So...Read full review »

I usually only listen to humor based dnd podcasts, but this one’s great, although it’s not the type of TTRPG podcast I usually listen to.

I’m listening to as much as I can before a family road trip this summer (my kiddo needs a warning before anything remotely tense) and I’m hooked! So excited to share this with the rest of my family!

It’s not really what I expected, and seems either really hyper-edited, or actually scripted, despite the intro saying it isn’t, but it’s still a cute story. It’s creative, and so far the characters are endearing.

I don’t hate it and will most likely continue listening, but the excessive editing brings it down for me. It claims that it isn’t scripted but I honestly doubt it.

I was excited to see another Critical Role podcast, but it’s missing that something special that the main Critical Role show, other good actual-play shows, or shows like Midst have.

Part of the fun of an actual play is the actual playing: the enjoyment of the players—the jokes, the banter, the laughter. This has none of that. It’s an audio play with numbers occasionally thrown around. The presentation is detached and comes off moderately cold, sounding scripted. The cast...Read full review »

Meh
Great pod just wish episodes came out more frequently because I’ve had to replay all the episodes every Sunday since I don’t remember what happened. But still a great listen

I got into DnD a year ago and am about to DM my own campaign. This podcast is the best one I’ve found and the voices are great.

My 7 year old has really been noting this show.

This is beyond fantastic! Didn’t expect to love it as much as I do. My kids and I love it.

Really interested to see more stories told inside of the critical role universe and the slayers take seems like a fun first step into that direction. However, at the beginning of the first episode they make it a point to say that everything is improvised and not at all scripted, yet it sounds...Read full review »

Love the show! Love the cast! Frog fan for life!

I recommend the Re-Slayer’s Take for Crit Role and Hero Club fans, as well as anyone wanting an entry point to this whole tabletop actual play or Critical Role podcast thing. I’m already a fan of the creators’s other work on things like Hero Club, but it’s wonderful to hear their production and...Read full review »

Love this new way to tell stories in a familiar (beloved) world. The cast is excellent, and the editing makes for an immersive AP experience that I’m really enjoying. Can’t wait to hear more!

While some DnD podcasts can seem daunting to start, Hero Club has a knack for setting the stage early and clearly so you can dive right in. As always, the characters feel fleshed out and well crafted, and the post-production brings an unparalleled sense of realism that makes the story come to...Read full review »

He first sounded like he would be goin’ “Erm Actually 🤓☝️” But the show is great! It has really good pacing, it really flew by the storytelling is just that great. And I really felt like I was there in the market! And the cliffhanger is really well done, I am really excited for the next episode...Read full review »

I love re-slayers take! All the actual play RPG experience in a much shorter format with a cool soundtrack!
Vegadenebaltair via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/21/24
Really enjoy this show looking forward to more episode to share with my nephew who have been wanting to get into d&d.

Had fun listening to the first episode. Its slightly different from what I expected but in a good way. Can’t wait to see where this goes

This is already an exciting, funny, edge-of-your-seat adventure! Perfect for the people in your life who love good stories but don’t understand how ttrpgs create those stories, and ttrpgs lovers both—this may be the perfect fiction podcast. Did I mention you can also let your kids listen!? This...Read full review »

This is so so so fun
Lil Red 9000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/24
The way they narrate their actions like narrators of their own chapters in a book is so clever and immersive. It’s such a unique style that I can’t believe no one has ever done it before. I know it won’t be for everyone but I adored how it moved the story forward.
