I only just recently started watching VRE, and yet I instantly admired the show and was so excited during every episode! To the acting, the DMing, music, and more, VRE has done an amazing job at entertaining all of us! Thanks for everything that you do!

Fall in love with new characters every season. The range these actors have is extraordinary. The show has wonderful sound quality and skilled editing. They don’t over cut the show, allowing audiences to enjoy banter between friends, occasional pet shenanigans, and giggle worthy bloopers. ...Read full review »

I have been listening to your podcast since near the beginning of the pandemic, and loving every second of it!! I started from the beginning and when you guys did the superhero characters I knew I was hooked. Reel me in! But seriously, I love the work you do, I have loved watching all of you...Read full review »

Going in I was a bit hesitant about how they’d play randomized characters but every season has fully realized characters created and played with love.

I found my way to VRE through the Moonshot network and Wheels’s podcast, “Got it Memorized?” I was a huge Final Fantasy X fan and when I heard Joe and Wheels’s rendition of ‘1000 Words’ from FFX2, I had to see what else they’d done. And I came here and I’m so glad I did. I have finally caught up...Read full review »

I work driving for a delivery app and started listening in early summer 2022. I just got all caught up in October. This is the best way I could possibly think of to pass my working hours. The plots are crazy, the characters are random, and the cast is genius. Thank you for making one of the best...Read full review »

“Fishy” Lee! “Rock Star” Logan! “Not Travis” Wheels! And “The GL”, Greg Leatherman! All three of them come together for a very great time! Please give a listen! P.S. You should probably change Travis to Wheels in the part where it lists your names. Hopefully you know what I mean.
Pokémaniac13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/22
Took a bit of a weird road to get here: Interstitial to Got it Memorized to VRE, but I'm glad I did. I was hesitant at first becasue I thought the shorter seasons and randomness would make the show lack the depth of other APs I've listened to, but I'm glad I put that hesitancy aside....Read full review »

Listen to the show if you enjoy works like Trials of The Apocalypse! It’s all great, and the only thing for sure is that one of them is a fish, and all of them are excellent!
NaN-Gram via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/29/22
The gimmick of the randomness draws you in but the engaging and compelling story telling keeps you coming back for more. No matter your background they have content you can relate to. As an ace person myself it was wild to see it represented. You will never run out of laughter, tears, and...Read full review »
Monkeyfur69 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/22
I started listening to this podcast at random, appropriately enough, but it quickly grew on me. The cast does an amazing job taking would could be random nonsense and turning into relatable characters, hilarious situations, and sometimes even touching drama. It's a great overall fun,...Read full review »

Fun, playful and moving. Nothing less describes this amazing premise, where really talented and chill improv actors opens the doors to their unbelievably sweet and wholesome pen and paper sessions for the unsuspecting crowd.
Mads Skovbakke via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/26/21
I love the amount of “real vibes” your podcast has . Not only for taking on modern problems in a fun easy to digest way, but staying away from the meta game and playing your characters how you think they should be played based in information you didn’t even get to decide.
Slice-of-Corn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/21
Every episode opens with “not everyone is destined for greatness,” but these four certainly are. Not only do they come up weigh randomly creative and adaptive stories with fantastic chemistry between each other, they introduce nerds like me to rpg’s that I never would have found otherwise. I...Read full review »

This podcast has helped me except that no matter where, when, or what, all across the multiverse one thing is static: American south accents. Heaven is a lot like Dixie.
brum lord via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/14/20
Not much to be said here that hasn’t been said already! The cast is as talented and synergetic as they come stringing together near flawless stories on the fly. The premise of “randomize everything possible” is truly a captivating one. If you or a friend is wanted to get into TTRPGs start here....Read full review »
akiru_the_wolf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/20
The cast does a great job of creating nuanced characters from random generated elements, the random elements of the plot are skillfully woven into a cohesive story by the GM and creates a story that is a pleasure to listen to. I’m glad to be working my way through this treasure trove as each arc...Read full review »

After finally getting up to date with VRE, I feel qualified and obligated to tell anyone I come into contact with that this show is a must-listen!! Logan, Lee, Wheels, and Greg each bring so much to the table- and together they make a brilliant team that handles anything the dice throw at them in...Read full review »
emily siegel! <3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/20
This is the type of podcast I needed in my life. I’ve never played a tabletop rpg before but have recently gotten into tabletop podcasts and the concept of randomized elements is super satisfying. Just binged the whole first season in a day and am looking forward to listening further. This is the...Read full review »
belch500 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/10/20
I’m now on my second listen of every season of VRE, and the cast never cease to amaze with each new season and relisten. Every season showcases their remarkable talents for storytelling and improvisation, all while navigating a very random world. VRE also does a fantastic job of having amazing...Read full review »
FrisComm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/20
TL:DR this is a great actual play RPG podcast with a group of entertaining people who craft fun stories with heart. VRE offers a bit more that your usual RPG podcast. They change system every season which lets you experience lots of different types of RPG and they keep the seasons to a punchy 10...Read full review »
Philip Saunders via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/17/20
I used to be skeptical of actual play podcasts, but this one changed my mind. The gimmick of randomly determining as many things as possible is brilliant, and always provides just enough material for the highly skilled players and GMs to craft rich, character-driven stories that are unique and...Read full review »
TechWitchNeon via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/09/20
VRE is a show I recommend with only the highest amount of enthusiasm and fondness. Each player (and each GM) brings chaotically good energy to each season, and I find myself laughing audibly during my listens. The story arcs are weird and wonderful, and amidst all the adventure and camaraderie,...Read full review »
Bill Hayden via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/20
These people have a great dynamic. They always find new ways to make you laugh, think, and sometimes cry. I highly recommend.

Wonderful hosts who I can’t wait to hear do a murder mystery
FlyingMayonnaise via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/07/20
This show is absolutely delightful. Wonderful folks creating wonderful stories. To honor them here are some randomly created sentences-- The office of the Wild. The first one is the most important. I will have to be the best way to get the most popular. We will see the cute little claymation...Read full review »

The randomness makes every season so unique and fun to listen to. The whole crew seem to be amazing people and their friendship keeps me coming back!
Chippie95 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/20
They’re a dynamic quartet that can “yes and” each other into surprisingly compelling and emotional stories. Try it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
Dontslip2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/04/20
I started listening to Fellowship after hearing Travis GM the second season of Interstitial. The cast of Very Random Encounters is so wonderful! They make you feel like you are at the table playing with them! I’m going to be sad once I catch up with everything they’ve put out, but at the same...Read full review »

This podcast is amazing. Every person involved is incredibly talented and creative; this group crafts interesting, collaborative stories that are extremely engaging. You can tell how much work and heart goes into each episode and it is a joy to listen to. It's also really great because you...Read full review »

Very Random Encounters is such a wholesome show. I tuned in for the odd premise and stayed for the friendship, inclusion, and unexpectedly touching stories. They’re an amazing group of friends that makes everyone feel welcome regardless of social standing, orientation, preferred magical...Read full review »

I have not marathoned a tabletop rpg podcast that is as long as this one is since I listened to taz balance back when it was first airing. This sounds and feels like a group of friends with a lot of talent playing a ttrpg. I’m always impressed by the directions they go in, and legitimately want...Read full review »

I was searching for a new podcast after I caught up with the d&amp;d podcast I was listening to and I stumbled across an article mentioning a bunch of podcasts, including this one, I tried them all out, but this one has to be my favourite with all its wacky randomness that comes together...Read full review »
KirstySam via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/19
I’ve listened to almost all of the seasons multiple times. I love that every time I return to this show I pick up different parts I missed before. I listen to podcasts a lot to keep my mind occupied when I’m doing something repetitive and I can’t get enough of the chemistry between these 4. ...Read full review »

What can I say about VREs that hasn’t been said before? It’s my favorite podcast and this is from someone who has never had fun with those types of roleplaying games. That someone like me would find themselves listening to, and enjoying, a show about people playing a roleplaying game that’s when...Read full review »

There’s nothing I can say about this podcast that hasn’t been said before, so instead I’m gonna fill this review with puns and jokes I think my friend is secretly adding glue to my weapons collection. He denies it, but I’m sticking to my guns I hate those people who knock on your door and tell...Read full review »

letherouxe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/04/19
Having listened to several of their campaigns throughout several RPGs (and D&amp;D), VRE Cast is one of the best shows out there. Greg is a deft GM who allows the players to develop and push the story in a direction that works for them but can still stitch together meaningful moments. Lee, Logan...Read full review »
TheJenya via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/19
The first season is probably my favorite thing in any podcast I have come across. It was so...off... but in a good way. They do some awesome stuff on the show, but one thing I really like is the GM tends to say "I think you do X" so then there is a prompt if the player wants to go a...Read full review »
Tony Danza Extravaganza via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/19
I love how Travis, Logan, Lee and Greg all manage to blend the randomness into fun, meaningful stories time after time. I'm already pretty sure that if I'll end up playing any RPG ever I'll try my best to sell the idea of randomly generated characters to my group. It's also really...Read full review »
Mirocchius via Apple Podcasts · Finland · 03/19/19
Started listening on long car rides and this podcast is such a great thing to listen to. I only joined when you guys were doing Uncharted world and heard everyone talk about how good D&amp;D season was so I decided to listen to it. It was honestly one of my favorite seasons right behind D6 Hella...Read full review »
The8BitToaster via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/19
I’m impressed and inspired by how committed everyone is to making their characters live. In other games, even players who choose traits for a character don’t seem to know as much about them as these players know about theirs.
Dyskko via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/19
This is my new favorite podcast! I can’t stop listening to the Tales from the Loop series you are doing. The characters are complex, deep, and lovable (something I didn’t expect considering their randomness). I love listening to you all and I catch myself listening along often!
Kt199999 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/19/19
Funny, charming, witty, and creative. The only disappointing thing about the show is that I have to wait a week between episodes.
