Amazing stories born from randomness
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 to 20 episodes. This gives plenty of time for a great story without dragging on too much. For those of you who need things even shorter, there are plenty of entertaining one shots to enjoy too. If you don’t like characters, system, setting etc. for one series, you can easily pick up a new one. The randomness of the title is baked into the characters they create and the stories they tell. Randomness doesn’t mean that no thought is applied, it’s more that the dice give the players characters which they may not have typically made which they’ll then flesh out and bring to life. It gives the GM the seed of a story which they will fill with random interesting npcs. I really enjoy the character creation episodes which gives a nice intro to the system and the shows the players having to make sense of the random attributes and skills their characters have. The After Shows allow the GM and players to share all the randomness what went into shaping the story; it’s amazing how they create such cohesive and compelling stories from distinctly random starting points. Don’t know where to start, then head to VRE.show and use the random season selector. There really is something for everyone here (unless you don’t like fun, in which case you should probably move on).

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!
