Geralt of Rivia, Clive Rosfield, and Mr. Hands walk into a tavern: a new Dungeons & Dragons web series is in the works

pcgamer.com:

A new Dungeons & Dragons actual play is in the works, featuring even more familiar faces from the voices and creatives of the gaming industry. Titled «Natural Six», the campaign posted the Kickstarter trailer—shown above—to their YouTube channel earlier this week (thanks, Dicebreaker). Leading the group as its DM is Harry McEntire, who is the voice of Noah from Xenoblade Chronicles 3. 

It'll also feature a cast brimming with talent from across the gaming industry, including Doug Cockle (Geralt from The Witcher), Benn Starr (Clive Rosfield from Final Fantasy 16), and Alex Jordan—who played Mr. Hands in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and, by his own admission, a lot of the sexy noises from Baldur's Gate 3. Hollie Bennett (head of Influencers and Engagement at Frontier) and Eurogamer's Aoife Wilson will also be joining the crew.

While you can back the project on Kickstarter starting October 16—which aims to bankroll a 10-episode long season, more Dimension 20 than Critical Role in length—most of the juicy details can be found on the project's YouTube channel.

One feature I'm a big fan of is the 'Deck of Many Friends', a Kickstarter reward described by McEntire as a deck of «twenty two cards, each one unique, each one representing the soul of a former adventurer». Donate enough, and you'll bag yourself a spot for your own character, bespoke art created by Matt Zan, and a potential guest highlight on the stream itself.

The mechanics are as follows: alongside your character, you'll also roll a 20-sided dice, the result of which will be stamped on the card. «In moments of dire need, whether it's a party member rolling a natural one, an antagonist rolling a natural 20, the party can call on the power of the Deck of Many Friends
