Wizards of the Coast just announced Dungeon Masters, its first official D&D actual play series, and the cast is stacked. Neil Newbon and Devora Wilde, the voices behind Baldur's Gate 3's Astarion and Lae'zel, are joining Christian Navarro (13 Reasons Why) and Mayanna Berrin (Dispatch) at the table. Newbon picked up Best Performance at The Game Awards 2023 for his work on BG3, and now he's rolling real dice as Crem, a Reanimator Artificer.

Start organising for freeRunning the show is Jasmine Bhullar, whose credits include creating DesiQuest and DM'ing Dimension 20's horror comedy season Coffin Run. The first arc drops players into Ravenloft, D&D's gothic horror setting, all cursed castles and dark lords, where a fractured band of adventurers faces an apocalyptic threat. Five-time Grammy-nominated composer David Arkenstone provides the score, and a dedicated dice cam keeps viewers locked onto every roll.
The two-episode premiere lands on D&D's YouTube channel on 22 April at 6:30 PM PT, with new episodes every Wednesday after that. Each episode will preview unreleased content from the upcoming Ravenloft: The Horrors Within sourcebook, releasing 16 June.
