High Rollers | Baldur’s Gate 3 Cast plays D&D
High Rollers is a British Actual Play group that has been streaming Dungeons & Dragons using the 5th Edition rules since 2016 and uploading their sessions to YouTube. Their long-term campaigns “Lightfall,” “Aerois,” and “Altheya: The Dragon Empire” are their main stories, along with bonus campaigns like the original D&D campaign Curse of Strahd.
The cast of Baldur’s Gate 3 played a special oneshot with High Rollers using their in-game characters, where the voice actors took on their roles from the video game. Dungeon Master Mark “Sherlock” Hulmes, Katie “Aila” Morrison, Kim “Nova” Richards, Tom “Quill” Hazell, Rhiannon Frost (“Sentry”), and Chris Trott (“Lucius”) also often invite other guests to join in.

Viva La Dirt League (often abbreviated as VLDL) is a New Zealand comedy and production group that also runs an Actual Play channel for Dungeons & Dragons, usually titled Viva La Dirt League D&D or Epic NPC D&D.
Their long-running campaign Adventures of Azerim ran for several years with over 250 episodes and six story arcs. They also play the 5th Edition rules of Dungeons & Dragons in their own setting. Group member Robert Hartley acts as the Dungeon Master.
As players, you can expect Alan Morrison, Rowan Bettjeman, Adam King, and Ben Van Lier (in Adventures of Azerim), as well as Britt Scott Clark, Ellie Harwood, Phoenix Cross, and Rhiannon McCall in the campaign Tales of the Misfits.
The special thing about Viva La Dirt League is that they are also a comedy group, which means you can look forward to self-performed sketches and exaggerated role-playing.
