Game of Thrones cast members among other television and film stars will join the virtual Dungeons and Dragons game in support of Red Nose Day. The event will run from June 18-20, according to Indie Wire.
The charity event, D&D Live 2020: Roll w/ Advantage, will reunite GoT stars Daniel Portman (Outcast), Gemma Whelan (Gentleman Jack), Iwan Rheon (Misfits), Kristian Nairn (The Four Warriors) and Natalia Tena (Residue). The proceeds from Red Nose Day will be used to help children struggling through the ongoing pandemic.
As reported by Entertainment Weekly, the adventurous quest will take place Saturday, June 20 at 12 p.m. PT/3 p.m. ET with Kate Welch, the game designer for D&D at Wizards of the Coast, as the Dungeon Master. The game, also called campaign, will follow 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,” via EW.
Because the charity event runs from June 18-20, there will be several games with a rotating list of dungeon masters and players. Deborah Ann Woll (True Blood) will kick off the virtual D&D as Dungeon Master with a campaign that includes players of Amy Acker (Angel), Janina Gavankar (The Way Back), Matthew Lillard (Scream) and Sam Richardson (Veep). The following day will see Stranger Things’ David Harbour in a campaign alongside Brandon Routh (Legends of Tomorrow).
The event can be streamed on the Dungeons and Dragons YouTube and Twitch channels with more details available on the official D&D website. To heighten anticipation for these Hollywood stars’ debut to D&D, the event teaser trailer can be seen below.
