According to a reveal from EW, the game will feature: Daniel Portman, who played Podrick, Gemma Whelan who played Yara, Iwan Rheon aka Ramsay Bolton, Kristian Nairn, Hodor and DJ extraordinaire, and Natalia Tena, whp played Osha, all in a game run by D&D’s Kate Welch.
The quest with the Game of Thrones stars will take place over video chat Saturday, June 20 at 12 p.m. PT/3 p.m. ET. Kate Welch, game designer for D&D at Wizards of the Coast, will serve as Dungeon Master on a campaign that follows a group of heroes who “meet an unusual creature that sets them on a strange task. Seems simple enough — but in a realm legendary for its danger, all is not what it seems.”
In a promo for the event, Tena, Rheon, and Portman tease a bit of the characters they’re creating for the role-playing game. Rheon, for one, isn’t using his ruthless Ramsay Bolton character on Game of Thrones as inspiration. “It’s not all about brawl, man,” he says. “You gotta think your way through problems. Not like Ramsay Bolton, probably. Not gonna be very useful.”
The game is set for Saturday, adding to the lineup of ongoing games. Be sure and tune in next weekend for D&D Live.
Happy Adventuring!
