    Always good!
    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.

    Natural 20!
    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. 🎲🏹⚔️🛡️🔮🐻🎲

    Great but it could better
    I wish it was like the dnd lorecast
  • Shaggy_1996
    Some of y’all are idiots 🤦🏻‍♂️
    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 !

    No
    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
  • WerthyB
    Hard to understand
    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

    People Are Dumb
    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
  • Prefer not to say nickname.
    Great content, definitely not stolen.
    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
  • pmac11111111
    Where’s the other episodes?
    No more episodes after 19?
  • jdyejsns
    Good
    Better to listen to this campaign on Spotify easier to find episodes and they’re all in order
  • Kitty Janet Junior
    Stupid.
    Super stupid, and they copied someone else’s podcast. Literally, don’t listen to it.👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽. Plus, it’s not clean
  • josher the great
    Pretty good
    Pretty good kind of hard to focus on what character is talking or doing with so many of them
  • BMurph25
    Note to new listeners:
    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”
  • adventure zone fannnn!!!!!!
    Not for me but maybe for you
    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
  • Delorian Time Machine
    Great for filling time…also it’s not stolen.
    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’m sorry but I have to
    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
  • Sw33pz
    Stolen
    Stolen audio. Grats.
  • wolfdagfa
    Look on youtube this is the channel they upload the d&d sessions to
    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
  • paladinartea
    Late to the party but loving this!
    I don’t have the time to play a D&D game much anymore, but listening to this podcast while working helps a lot :)
  • JC that's me
    THIS ISN’T THE REAL CR PODCAST THIS IS STOLEN EFFORT
    Why someone would poorly steal from the actual CR podcast, then re-upload their stolen audio is BEYOND me!
  • Lily Wiley
    DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS
    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.
  • heylookitstatum
    Great show~
    - 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!
  • Crayon Shinchan
    Thought it’d be lame and too nerdy.
    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!!!
  • Volyann
    Love it
    I loveee your show! Gotta say I’d love to see a mighty nein animated bit.
  • arcade glass
    Removed Season 1?
    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. :/
  • BrogueTheRogue
    Episodes missing
    I want to listen, but episodes 1-9 of season one and episodes 1-20 of season 2 are missing. So I guess not.
  • brendan_1004
    No Sound
    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 :(
  • Margfghjiut
    Audio won’t play
    I’ve heard great things about critical role but no matter what I try I can’t listen to the audio for season 1
  • The spleen weasel
    Great show : horrible politics .
    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 .
  • turbinesmind
    Poor execution of podcast
    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.
  • jfidnsbcurldn
    No Sound
    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?

  • Stevieboi28

  • mcewan3

    The very best D&D podcast. Gripping Storytelling!
    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!
  • Rughster44
    Talented but somewhat annoying players
    Not horrible, but many of the characters became increasingly grating as the episode drew on. Couldn’t finish episode one
  • Haraket
    Oof
    Really really rough audio quality at the entry point.
  • US Soldier.
    Backtracked
    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

    How do you want to do this?
    Great story and amazing characters.

    Truly Amazing
    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.
  • <<-Dom->>
    A perfect show
    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.
  • definitelynotmattmercer963
    Best podcast
    As a new player who's dmed 2 games and played one game this is the best podcast of any.
