I have enjoyed Critical Role for a long time but I find myself coming back to campaign 1 over and over. Watching on YouTube was great but sometimes I find myself just wanting something long-form to listen to on the road or working around the house. The Critical Role Podcast is the perfect fit. Thanks to the cast and crew!

I def started with campaign 3 because that’s what campaign they’re on atm. But watching vox machines on prime has me wanting to know alllllll about the troupe of misfits. I can’t wait to start this, I already know it’s gonna slap so I already gave it five stars.

Matt Mercer, you have critically succeeded at impressing me! The podcast itself is quite amazing, and the only issues I have encountered so far were partially corrupted audio files on Episode 19. If these could be replaced, that would be great! Lovely podcast, has had a CRITICAL ROLE in my own D&D experiences. 10/5 stars. 🎲🏹⚔️🛡️🔮🐻🎲

I wish it was like the dnd lorecast

A few things before my actual review: 1. This podcast is NOT “stolen”. It is their original podcast channel from when they were with Geek And Sundry. 2. Episodes 1-9 of season one are easily found if you just search “Critical Role Season 1” in the search section. 3. Every episode from C2 E20 onward to now is in the other Critical Role channel. That being said, Critical Role is one of the better D&D podcasts out there. Maybe it’s just that it’s the first one I listened to and it’s the one that got me into D&D, but it’s still my personal favorite. Audio wasn’t great at the very beginning of C1, but stick it out. It’s worth it. Trust me. Currently relistening to it from episode 1 onward.

This is the Geek and Sundry section of the show before they went solo. Audio is dicey in the beginning and you have to search for some episodes. Stick it out through the Whiterun story arch it’s worth it! And Campaign 2 is awesome on the other CR channel !

Stolen, unclean, hard to listen to, and not that good anyway. Other podcasts to listen to: The damage guild Power word crit Red dirt dnd Sneak attack I cast fireball

Who knows if the story is good, the sound quality is horrible. Can’t hear half of what’s being said due to background noise and PCs talking over one another. Listened for about 2 minutes, never again unless someone says it gets better. Try Reckless Attack, sound is great, story is fun and unpredictable and the dm and PCs are having a lot of fun

I don’t understand how people really think that this podcast is stolen. Geek and Sundry were the original producers but they switched to producing their own shows. This is an amazing podcast that people here worked hard to help produce. Be nice, and do your research before making a review

They have two podcasts, some on one and others on the other. Not that one copied the other. So many false thoughts, when people just don’t know the origin. Either way, first D&D podcast I listened to, and still my favorite.

Need to shift over to/search the other Critical Role podcast source. They cut ties with Geek and Sundry after episode 19 if I’m not mistaken

No more episodes after 19?

Better to listen to this campaign on Spotify easier to find episodes and they’re all in order

Super stupid, and they copied someone else’s podcast. Literally, don’t listen to it.👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽. Plus, it’s not clean

Pretty good kind of hard to focus on what character is talking or doing with so many of them

Episodes 1-9 can be found at the very bottom of season 1. Unless you want to skip content, don’t start with “K’Varn Revealed”

I didn’t enjoy the first few episodes because it kind of started in the the middle of the quest-ish and the audio wasn’t great. But, it had good characters and I good story. Give it a try

These folks tell a fun story, and are engaging to listen to. If you like or love D&D, if you enjoy a well-produced story, or if you just have long travel stretches that you want to fill with more than talk-radio/music - here’s a fun alternative. Also, for all the commenters saying this is stolen audio, it’s really not. When CR started, they were a group playing a different TTRPG privately and were approached by Geek&Sundry to produce a D&D twitch stream. So this crew changed from the Pathfinder system to 5e and this channel was started to give an audio format to the Twitch streams. Part way into C2, they moved it to a different channel because they officially split from Geek&Sundry and became their own entity. That’s it, that is why there are two channels and why some live here and some there. G&S retains the rights to these episodes.

I know this is stolen from them but on their actual podcast I can’t find anything past Season 2 Episode 20. I might just not be looking far enough but that’s where I can’t scroll any further down so I gotta use this. Plus this is organized much nicer, I’m sorry but it is lol

Stolen audio. Grats.

Yall think someone just reuploded it but if you were smart enough to look on youtube you would see that this is the same channel on youtube idiots

I don’t have the time to play a D&D game much anymore, but listening to this podcast while working helps a lot :)

Why someone would poorly steal from the actual CR podcast, then re-upload their stolen audio is BEYOND me!

This is not the actual critical role podcast, this is someone who has taken the episodes and reuploaded them as their own. Please go listen to the actual podcast if you want to listen to this. To the person who is making this please take this down.

- scratches my dnd itch - no idea what politics the other reviewers have mentioned - no problem accessing every episode here This show is a gift, and we’re lucky to have it. It’s so much work! Out for free! That’s amazing!

Always fascinated with D & D. Love the weaving of storytelling I never played cuz I grew up in a Christian home and wasn’t allowed. I’m so angry about what I missed yet this allows me to escape and bring me back to my school days!!!

I loveee your show! Gotta say I’d love to see a mighty nein animated bit.

Season 1 pst episode 49 has been removed??? Bummer. I’m only at episode 74 and don’t wanna pay YouTube so I can listen with the screen dimmed. This is such a middle finger to fans. :/

I want to listen, but episodes 1-9 of season one and episodes 1-20 of season 2 are missing. So I guess not.

I absolutely love the show but there’s been no sound i’m in episode 94 and want to listen while i drive but i can’t do that anymore :(

I’ve heard great things about critical role but no matter what I try I can’t listen to the audio for season 1

Long story short: I’ve loved this program and the influence it has had on our hobby . However , even on some of the blatantly political ideas I agreed with, I don’t want it from my entertainment. Otherwise , fantastic program that I would recommend to most .

This is a great show but now I can’t access any of the episodes so I can’t continue listening to it. Trying to listen to the episodes through critical roles website also doesn’t work as the episodes wont even play when you click on them. The show itself is five stars but it’s execution through apple podcasts and other auditory only mediums is abysmal. Watch the show through YouTube and don’t give podcasts your time or energy.

I got through campaign 1 episode 93 and now suddenly there’s no sound. I looked through the reviews and I’m not the only one. Fix please?

Great show!

SOUND IS NOT WORKING!? um all of the sudden the sound doesn’t work I just got to the 100th episode for season 1 someone fix it please!

I like this podcast

The actors do such a great job that, I feel like I know the characters. I am a newbie to DnD and now I am hooked.

I would give this 5stars but for some reason it getting deleted off my phone.

Love it

This podcast has become my favorite, not only has it ignited a love for D&D but a love for the characters and storytelling. Push passed the first few episodes (audio quality is a bit rough) I promise you it’s worth it! This podcast is good enough to stand alone just for the D&D game play or as an audio experience for those in it just for the story. I’ve now completed all of campaign 1 and 2 in just a few short months. Give it a go, you’ll be hooked like me. Cannot recommend Critical Role enough, this podcast sets the bar for all other D&D podcasts out there! Thank you for the hundreds of hours of phenomenal content!

Not horrible, but many of the characters became increasingly grating as the episode drew on. Couldn’t finish episode one

Really really rough audio quality at the entry point.

I listened to campaign 2 and between Thursday’s I’m listening to Vox for the first time. Audio quality was bad at first but fight through it because if you miss a thing you’ll be sorry. The best fantasy show I have ever watched or listened to. Well done

Great story and amazing characters.

I first came here looking for an amazingly reviewed live-play Dungeons and Dragons podcast. But it became so much more. I recommend this podcast to the point where I BEG everyone to listen to it. This show has made me the Dungeon Master I am today, and I thank Critical Role for that.

This show is so amazing. It has changed my life, and made me rethink how and Why I play DnD. Warning: some of the early talks machina episodes for campaign 2 are a bit rough on the edits, and have bursts of static that can hurt your ears.

As a new player who's dmed 2 games and played one game this is the best podcast of any.
