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.

    Brainstorming with Special Guest Tony Gowell | What's Your Favorite Fictional World?

    Find our special guest, Tony Gowell, on social media @TonyGowell or see him on stage and join one of his workshops at various conventions, particularly Dragon Con!

    In this episode we use our favorite fictional universes as a jumping-off point to brainstorm for a one-shot!...which you won't get to hear because of technical difficulties, but you still want to know why Greg seeing the Star Wars Special Edition theatrical re-release is the butterfly flapping its wings that ultimately led to this podcast.

    I Was a Modern Medusa #14: Stone and Fire (finale)

    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._

Stories that captivate your imagination

Fall in love with new characters every season. The range these actors have is extraordinary. The show has wonderful sound quality and skilled editing. They don’t over cut the show, allowing audiences to enjoy banter between friends, occasional pet shenanigans, and giggle worthy bloopers. Thanks for an amazing show VRE❣️
