Absolutely incredible! Been loving it!

I only just recently started watching VRE, and yet I instantly admired the show and was so excited during every episode! To the acting, the DMing, music, and more, VRE has done an amazing job at entertaining all of us! Thanks for everything that you do!

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❣️

Oh No! I Ran Out!!

I have been listening to your podcast since near the beginning of the pandemic, and loving every second of it!! I started from the beginning and when you guys did the superhero characters I knew I was hooked.

Reel me in!

But seriously, I love the work you do, I have loved watching all of you grow as actors, improvisers, players, and people. I have been thrilled to see your inclusivity and the sensitive approach you take to pronouns. You guys have been a great example of what normalizing inclusivity should mean. (Also, Wheels, great choice in the name. You and me, sib. Love the wheels.)

Anyway I finally came to the most recent episode which was a shock, but a pleasant one. I will look forward to waiting along with your more experienced fans for the wonderful, creative content you put out.

THANKS FOR THE GREAT SHOW!!
