    Awesome
    I’ve listened to this show quite a bit- several arcs of story. Love it- Keep rolling y’all!
  • MBPgh
    Actual Play Bonanza
    An amazing amount of content has been produced by this crew. Funny and well produced; the cast has hours and hours of experience playing together and have a quirky and humorous chemistry. Well worth listening to if you enjoy actual play.

    The Best Out There
    I can’t say enough about this crew and both the enthusiasm and quality of their campaigns. Not only does it provide endless entertainment, but it has inspired tremendous growth in my own campaigns. And, if nothing else, Owen’s laugh is worth the price of admission
  • Emilia Aerowant
    A wildly fun crew
    First off, I have only listened to two of their shows so far, but they are only an hourish long and very easy to get through. Since I started 2 weeks ago I’ve gotten through the prequel to Masks of Nyarlathotep: Peru, and 40 episodes of Curse of Strahd. Joe and Eoghan and the rest of the crew are great storytellers, very inventive with their roll playing and completely driven by the rule of cool. I’m looking forward to getting into their other games and enjoying the many hours of easy listening craziness. If you need your rpg fix and want to fill it with some lovable drunken mayhem than this is the show for you.
  • Postjade
    Great for Keepers, DMs & GMs
    If you want to hear great scenarios, dungeons and adventures run in different styles but with the same level of excellence then this is for you. The players are great and commit to the campaigns and one-shots with humor and pathos.
  • Totorodo
    Long live Ken!
    As annoying as he was, I need to hear more scenarios starting Ken!
  • ThDunwichHorror
    The Best real play podcast.
    unbelievable keeper, unbelievable players! You guys are great. I haven’t played in a while and you guys satisfy my itch to be a PC. Scotts definitely THE pro at whatever you guys throw at him. Two Headed Serpent is my FAV!
  • TheGreatStoneFace
    Amazing Call of Cthulhu play
    Killer voice acting, music, sound, and story. To avoid spoilers, I wouldn’t listen if I wanted to play these campaigns, but if you want a thoroughly entertaining podcast experience, subscribe!!!
  • Bob-o-doom
    Lots of fun, a great way to get through quarantine
    Found this podcast by accident and love it. It’s creepy, and lots of fun. Keep up the great work =)
  • RoGvdjyesbue
    Really enjoying the Call of Cthulhu
    I’ve never played much Call of Cthulhu, but the podcast is a great advertisement for it.
  • BrownieMuffin
    Great Range, Audio Quality and Storytelling
    How We Roll has a couple of core games they play which they do very well. They also branch out and try new things. Their audio quality is good and the cast members gel well together to make a very interesting listening experience. Add to this having participation from well respected game developers and designers such as a Scott Dorward, and doing crossovers with other popular podcasts, and How We Roll is really the complete Actual Play package.
  • Andy P. CLT
    Love the Podcast!
    Well done, lads! Larf? New to the podcast and working my way through. Reminds me of when I played CoC ad nauseam as a teenager in the 80s. I’ll be getting back into it with the mates from those days now that I’m aware of the online capabilities of gaming these days. Keep it up!
  • Cuandoz
    Cyclopean Horror
    Played CoC for the first time about six months ago and the whole world captured my imagination. Started reading Lovecraft and his circle, and for the first time in my life wanted to listen to actual play podcasts. Have tried a bunch and for me this one is the best!
  • DanO 44
    Best RPG play podcast
    This is by far my favorite live play RPG podcast. The story, characters, and settings are incredibly well thought out. The play/acting is outstanding, and you can tell they are having fun. I have gotten so many ideas for my own games from this show. The first four or five episodes of curse of Strahd (Joe runs the group through The Death House) is particularly outstanding. Can not recommend this podcast any higher!
  • Bjornodysseyten
    Great! Top Notch
    Hi, guys. I’d like to tell you how much I’ve been enjoying listening to your adventures. I found your podcast randomly and started at the beginning because I’m a huge fan of CoC and have been playing for years. Your podcast is really good, it’s got a great production value, everyone has fun, your GM is excellent, and your role playing is spot on. I’m just starting chapter 7.1 right now, episode 67 it’s listed as from May of 2016, can’t wait to get all caught up. Thanks for this, it’s wonderful.
  • Geeksplorepod
    My favorite actual play podcast
    This is my absolute favorite actual play podcast. Joe is an amazing GM that really puts the time in to craft/modify his campaigns to engage both his players and his audience. He is joined by a rotating cast of top notch players that take their characters seriously while not being afraid to have some fun at their expense. I would also recommend them to anyone who wants to get into Call of Cthulhu. You will have a blast listening to them while learning the mechanics and flow of the game. Also, thanks to Scott Dorwood for running 2 Headed Serpent. I needed Joe as a player in my life and didn't even know it.
  • JK_313
    Outstanding
    Highly recommended. A+ DM and crew. Lovely effects and atmospherics. Genuinely funny people, too!
  • Snapledragon
    Absolutely fantastic
    Really enjoyable cast and fantastic keepers/DMs. I think I’ve listened to close to 150 episodes in less than a month. I like the D&D portions, but I absolutely love the Call of Cthulhu episodes. Continue the great work. Now, Back to bingeing!
  • FreyingSeams
    Great DM, but you know?
    Joe is an excellent DM. And Owen seems like a fun guy. But what a bummer about the others.
  • j_star413
    Best call of Cthulhu RPG podcast
    I have been listening to How We Roll for a little over a year now and it is by far the best Call of Cthulhu RPG Podcast I have come across. Joe the game Master is superb. He knows exactly when to speak up and when to let the players figure it out for themselves. The adventures are entertaining and the players (Kuran Eoghan?, Dave, Liisa, Niall and Aaron) are enthusiastic to the point that at some points, I forget I’m listening to a game. Special shoutout to Scott Dorward as well who makes cameo appearance as game master. This guys a master of the spooky and pulpy. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this podcast and he people who make it. Cheers to How We Roll. Let’s see you lads in Boston for pax east next year!
  • TheShadowplay
    Great RPG play Podcast
    I love How We Roll. Every new episode goes to the top of my podcast queue. The excellent players bring the right amount of seriousness, humor, fun, and they really mix character work and player work together to make an enjoyable show. This is a group that you’d really want to play with. Joe is an excellent dm/gm/keeper. He really makes the stories unique, enjoyable, horrifying, and fun. He sounds like a fan of the players and of the worlds. Finally editing and sound effects really keep the mood of the game up and moving. It’s part radio drama, part actual play. They do a solid job of making it interesting for the listener. I can’t say enough good things about this show. It’s my favorite gaming podcast. No. It’s my favorite podcast period.
  • abundancesun
    Great stories and characters
    How We Roll is one of my favorites. The quality is superb and they have great stories and characters.
  • Chuckietee076
    Freaking great podcast!
    Started with the Haunting and I am hooked! The Keeper is great and the players are so very entertaining. I’m looking forward to hearing the other episodes. Well done!

    Great Podcast and Crew
    Long time fan of D&D and the Ravenloft campaign. I stumbled upon this podcast when I was reading about the release of Curse of Strahd and looking for someone who has run the introductory adventure Death House. Really enjoyed the DM storytelling, the characters, and their development. I proceeding to binge listen to the 50 episodes. I knew nothing of Call of Cthulhu but decided to give it a listen by starting at the beginning. I am really enjoying the CoC stories but Episode 1 of Return to Innsmouth sealed the deal for me. Looking forward to listening to the rest of the CoC stories and then moving on to season 3 of Curse of Strahd.
  • Sith-Lord-Revan
    A delightful trip down insanity lane
    I’ve been a fan of tabletop games for about 6 years now and many podcasts out there focus on D&D but how we roll always provides an amazing listening experience for those looking to dip their toe’s in the more macabre and grossly fascinating World of Call of Cthulhu, 5/5 keep going you guys are amazing!!!
  • Jrbeers
    Very Enjoyable!
    I was looking for some help prepping for my first CoC campaign when I stumbled upon this great podcast. I’m continuing to enjoy the further adventures of the crew as I listen to more episodes. Love it!

    Greatness attracts greatness
    You just need to listen to the podcast to truly understand how magical it is. Words alone cannot do it justice. The players have a lot of fun and are passionate about their characters. The DM/GM is absolutely dedicated to providing a top-notch production each and every time, and it shows in his scenario preparation and editing. Do what I did and start with Curse of Strahd. Channel your inner-Netflix and binge listen to that campaign first. It's an extreme amount of fun and adventure! Once you've reached the cliffhanger episode of CoS Season 2, turn your attention to the very first podcast episodes and embark on even more adventure experiencing the horrors of Call of Cthulhu. As with Curse of Strahd, you are going to encounter a few guests along the way from other podcasts. These guests are clues that HWR isn't simply a mere podcast, but a first-class vessel that transports you to an entire community of great podcasts and great people, because greatness attracts greatness. Stop what you are doing and start listening to this fantastic podcast right now.

    Dynamic and Entertaining Storytelling at its Finest
    Always a pleasure to listen to. How We Roll does a stupendous job bringing the adventures to life while leaving the right amount of room for improv. Joe is by far one of the best GMs I’ve encountered, and is a master of reigning in the party, and nudging them along, while providing a fun experience for both players and listeners. What’s more, the group uses the platform to expertly convey the rulesets and showcase the experience - it’s been a great way to learn the games and pick up some top-notch GM techniques. As if that weren’t enough, they provide some of the best interviews I’ve heard within the roleplaying industry. Honest and engaging, with a great variety of interviewees. 10/10 Would fail my insanity roll again.
  • Railey SY
    A Crew that is Entertaining in Many Ways
    I find this podcast to have many good qualities. The crew seems like they are enjoying themselves and it feels natural to listen, yet the podcast is also nicely edited. Listening to this reminded me of how entertaining tabletop RPGs are, and I got back into them partially thanks to the HowWeRoll crew.
  • Bgauchay
    Love It
    Love the podcast. The group has great energy and all sync really well with one another. I’m hooked!
  • Thing From Space
    Best show in town
    Definitely the best group of people playing the coolest games and creating pro level audio storytelling.
  • Beskartom
    Such a Great Actual Play!
    I have never a huge fan of actual play podcasts. They just were never for me as I could never get engaged...until now! These guys are just so entertaining to listen to and their chemistry is absolutely captivating. They have found the perfect balance between super serious story telling and cutting up with each other. Joe is a great GM and you can tell he pours so much into these stories. I started with their run through of Curse of Strahd Death House and it was fantastic.
  • Dr VC
    The Best CoC 7e Podcast!
    Like the title says, these guys are the best batch of players and keeper I’ve had the chance to listen to! It’s a very professionally made podcast all around. The audio is well done, and most games have a few fun twists on classic scenarios!
  • Sonic Flagellation
    Curse Of Strahd
    Enjoyed the show. Good player chemistry, soundtrack and foly effects. Like how the storyline was enhanced and skewed for the Death House. I may have to incorporate some of the elements into my own game. Really nice and succinct RPG podcast!
  • Azamon Kith
    One of the most fun Actual-Play groups out there
    And Joe the GM really knows his stuff and is a committed storyteller. Every episode is enetertaining in its own way and each is worth a listen.
  • Arwennigan
    Fantastic
    Without realizing it, I managed to binge the entirety of their produced episodes in the last two months. The Keeper/DM is great, and their core players create really interesting characters, especially in Call of Cthulhu, but also in D&D. There is a really good balance of humor and tension that keeps you on the edge of your seat, especially at the end of an episode (which is probably why I binged it). It feels like storytelling is really integral to their gameplay, and that’s what makes their podcast so compelling.
  • Garp-O
    So great!
    This podcast is truly one of my absolute favorites! The production quality is absolutely fantastic. I’m pretty new to DnD but currently running Curse of Strahd for my friends. I really love hearing an experienced dm as well as hilariously clever characters play! Keep up the great work!
  • Dana Evan
    Top tier podcast
    A most excellent podcast. Top notch entertainment!
  • PadmesLover
    Fantastic production value
    Love the unique horror elements so much I’m bringing them to my home game and it’s got my mind opened to other ideas. Really one of my muses at this point, great job lads!!
  • Keith III
    One of the Best
    How We Roll is one of my favorites. I found it accidentally a few years ago, binged it, and haven't looked back. Joe is a fantastic GM, and the effort he puts into each episode shows. From reworking story elements to editing, the end product is stellar. The players are not to be forgotten either. Whether it's a regular or a guest, they come to the table ready to play. I recommend HWR. Download their stuff, and go support them on Patreon. You won't regret it.
  • BrannwenB
    One of the Best
    This podcast is in my top 5 D&D podcasts. When a new show is uploaded everything stops and I put my headphones on and settle in. The DM is spot on and all the PCs are funny and you really care for them. I’m new to the party but this show rolls nat 20s every time.
  • Jojo81805
    Super amazing podcast!!!
    This podcast has been going for a while, and the cast is awesome to listen to! With a great backlog to get started with, I’d recommend this to anyone! Keep it up!
  • Foxworx
    Excellent!
    How We Roll is an actual play podcast that focuses on horror themed material. They have done a number of scenarios from the Call of Cthulhu role playing system as well as darker themed Dungeons and Dragons content. Engaging players, amusing banter and above average production. Well Recommended.
  • Darkseedshakes
    Versatility at it's best!
    These guys were my first D&D podcast I've listen to, and they are still my top 3 favorites. So versatile in story telling, character connection, and game play. They do Curse of Strahnd, One shots, and some very creative Call of Cthulu (my favorite of their series.) A great introduction to the genre's and just all around great hosts!
  • deus ex machina
    Well-produced and entertaining!
    I especially like the Call of Cthulhu episodes. They’re serious but not afraid to be funny too.
  • Steinig Sheiss
    Immersive Storytelling
    Joe and the HWRP cast of characters run D&D and Call of Cthulhu, and they do it well. Very well. I am always engaged in the story and delighted by the humor. Give it a listen, and you'll be glad you did.
  • Balisongman
    A masterclass in roleplaying and podcasting
    HWR is a fantastically fun Actual Play to listen to and experience modules from Call of Cthulhu, Dungeons and Dragons, as well as one-offs from a couple different systems. But just the basic entertainment value of the podcast is just scratching the surface in my opinion, listen to the production quality with the editing, music, and sound effects that go into each episode, Joe’s writing and presentation to serialize the stories into episodes is fantastic and the fact that it is released weekly only helps keep the excitement and anticipation up. The other big thing that I really appreciate is the wide variety of personalities of the people that play and the different styles in which they come at role-playing which might put their characters at odds with each other at times but they all seem to act like adults about it and continue to play the game. Even if a certain Irishman does something completely unexpected with his character the rest of the group and the GM roll with it (and role with it) with a certain amount of ribbing, face-palming, and jokes. So, listen for fun, learn what good production and editing is, learn how to role-play, and learn how to role-play with others even if they have a different approach.
  • Mythosman2000
    Excellent listening!
    Great job, guys! Excellent roleplaying and Keeping, presented in a very entertaining way! Very nice sound effects and music, really helps set the mood. I have been playing but mostly Keeping Call of Cthulhu for most of 30 years now (since 1987, 3rd Edition), many different players and groups have come and gone,and you guys playing some of the same scenarios I have run really brings back the memories! Thanks again and Cheers from Texas!
  • MTK_01
    Excellent RPG Podcast
    My favorite RPG podcast. Great interplay between the players, interesting scenarios, strong DMing, excellent dynamics to learn if you host or play your own Cthulhu games. Highly recommended. This becomes a 1-star review if Ken Reeves doesn't return in 2018 though. He's the light of humanity holding back the darkness.
