D&D 5E D&D Live: Kate Welch returns with Jack Black, Reggie Watts and others!

During WotC's 'D&D Live' events in mid-July this year, there will be a live game called The Lost Odyssey: Last Light, featuring a dragons, krakens, and giant sea queens. WotC's Kate Welch will be the DM and celebrity guests Jack Black, Reggie Watts, Lauren Lapkus, Kevin Smith, and Jason Mewes will be the players -- plus one other guest they have not yet announced.

It’s streaming on the Peacock network!!! What?

I'm not sure if that says more about D&D's pop culture penetration, or Peacock's dearth of content.

Hmmm. What are the odds the mystery guest is someone from the cast of the upcoming D&D movie?

This is a very compelling line-up. OK, WotC, you've got me.

Snoochie Boochies!

If Jack Black doesn't play a bard I'll be disappointed lol.

If Jack Blacks character doesn't die in the first act I'll be disappointed.

Jack Black is such a force I'm a little afraid he will dominate this table, entirely accidentally, with the sheer force of his epic personality.

I really used to like Jack Black and the D but lately I feel like his schtick is getting old and he's just abrasive. I always had hope that he would branch out musically and acting wise but doesn't seem like he has. In all fairness I haven't really followed anything since Rize of the Fenix so I could be wrong.

I don't watch these things usually but I might have to check this one out.

Is Lost Odissey set in any unknown setting? Because these could become canon later in the future.

Partnership WotC-NBCUniversal? But the action-live movie is being produced by Paramount Pictures, by ViacomCBS. This seems Hasbro doesn't want to be too linked with any main-media company. I don't blame them, because like this they can choose who shows the best offer.

If Lauren Lapkus doesn’t play a naughty elf called Ho Ho, I’ll be disappointed.

If Lauren Lapkus doesn’t play a naughty elf called Ho Ho, I’ll be disappointed.

If Silent Bob speaks more than 5 lines Ill be disappointed.

It's the preserved corpse of Gary Gygax. He'll be appearing in a non-speaking role.

That’s a pretty strong lineup. I guess celebs playing D&D is very mainstream now.
