Roll for initiative! Legendary Digital Network’s Geek & Sundry and Nerdist have partnered to bring viewers the ultimate game of Dungeons & Dragons, featuring The Last Witch Hunter star Vin Diesel.
The must-see fantastical adventure features Diesel playing the game as a version of his Last Witch Hunter character, Kaulder, while battling in a campaign led by Geek & Sundry’s Matt Mercer (Critical Role) where he played alongside Nerdist’s Dan Casey (The Dan Cave), Jessica Chobot (Nerdist News), as well as his Critical Role cohorts Laura Bailey and Travis Willingham.
“I haven’t played in so long — it’s so much fun,” Diesel exclaimed of his not-so-secret love of the tabletop role-playing adventure in a Facebook announcement, joking: “I finally found my home – I’ve got Dungeons & Dragons players in LA!”
