Wizards of the Coast is getting back into the Actual Play game. Today, Wizards announced via Variety that they are launching a new Actual Play show called Dungeon Masters, starring Jasmine Bhullar as the Dungeon Master along with players Mayanna Berrin, Christian Navarro, Neil Newbon and Devora Wilde. Wilde and Newbon are veterans of Baldur's Gate 3, a smash hit for the Dungeons & Dragons IP. However, both actors will be playing new characters and not their Baldur's Gate 3 characters.

Of note is that the show will feature "official, unreleased D&D content" which will be put up for sale on D&D Beyond following every episode. The first arc takes place in Ravenloft and will feature content from Ravenloft: The Horrors Within. New episodes will be released weekly on YouTube, starting on April 22nd.

Wizards of the Coast previously produced several official D&D Actual Play series, including Dice, Camera, Action and Force Grey. Dice, Camera, Action was their flagship D&D program for years until it unceremoniously ended due to a scandal involving two of its players.

I loved Dice, Camera, Action. I think it's the only actual play i've ever watched that wasn't sort of a one off. I watched all the episodes. That's crazy- I never do that with anything.

The other actual plays I've been able to watch are DCC adventures with Lex, Bob WorldBuilder, and Jorphdan (the ph is silent).

Here are some links if people are curious- these are all low budget, super chill and fun.

Accursed heart of the world ender
The Sorceror's Tower of Sanguine Slant (Dying Earth)
Doom of the Savage Kings
Sailors on the Starless Sea
 



Excited for this, mostly because it means they will be releasing a new obstetric every week from the books. Confirmed the Zombie Clot from Van Richtens is coming back, which will surely not make anyone upset at all…
I don't think the intent is to release stuff from upcoming books since it will be "for sale". I soubt they would pre-nickle and dime people.
 



From a commercial capitalistic point of view, this might turn out to be a stroke of pure genius - if it works out as intended. Launch their own actual play, with previously unreleased content, and then (after the specific episode ends) sell the material that was used in that actual play episode.
