Welcome to Very Random Encounters, a show where we play pen and paper RPGs in which we've randomly determined as many things as is possible, including characters, villains, names, places, and other weirder stuff! It all comes together to be a very random encounter. We're an actual play roleplaying game podcast by four friends who love the challenge of telling a story whose details are all prompted by random rolls. You can start with the first episode in any given season.

I Was a Modern Medusa #14: Stone and Fire (finale)
Snakes in the plate decide to shed or get off the pot. Out in the real world, "van go us car follow plate". All of that might make sense by the end of this, the finale of _I Was a Modern Medusa._

Customer Reviews
My goto giggle cast
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.
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).
Superb
A wonderfully ridiculous pen & paper rpg podcast that immerses the imagination in the whimsical creativity of a delightful cast and brings the fuzzies to my rainbowed heart.
My only issue is what to do with myself once I've binged all the available episodes.
