Strix is a nervous wreck of a tiefling and does everything in her power to avoid getting close to anyone: it’s enough to make you wonder how they’ve stuck together this long.

Diath is just trying to make it through their adventure with a more realistic head on his shoulders while Paultin tries to drown out everything he isn’t cool with-which is a lot of things-with alcohol. As a paladin of the god of light Lathander, Evelyn is quick to grow attached to her party-mates, but not everyone is so ready to open their hearts. Throughout the first season, it was such a joy to watch the Waffle Crew grow closer in their own ways. Though due to real life getting in the way I haven’t been able to start the show’s second season, Perkins seems to be putting them through the Storm King’s Thunder campaign, so if giants are your thing, get excited!

This merry band of misfits ended up together after finding themselves stuck in the vampire-infested lands of Barovia on a mission to kill the vampire lord, Strahd, drawing inspiration from The Curse of Strahd campaign guide. The show stars the Waffle Crew, an intrepid band of adventurers comprised of the human bard Paultin played by YouTube geeky media crooner Nathan Sharp the human p aladin Evelyn played by Twitch programming manager Anna Prosser Robinson (who also co-founded Missclicks, a group that uplifts women in the geek community) Diath, a human rogue played by gaming YouTuber Jared Knabenbauer and Strix, the tiefling sorcerer played by Holly Conrad. It’s a tension that I find different from many other D&D shows because it really lends itself to helping the player characters join forces in a natural, but very quick manner. If you’ve heard that Dungeons & Dragons can be a brutal game, Dice, Camera, Action is the webshow that really pushes its players to desperation without actually murdering them. Friends, readers, dim the lights, because it’s time for some Dice, Camera, Action. So today I bring you a beginner-friendly D&D webshow starring some of my favorite YouTubers and led by Wizards of the Coast’s own DM extraordinaire, Chris Perkins. With this seeming boom of Dungeons & Dragons webshows, it perhaps comes as no surprise that they suffer from the same thing-it’s definitely easy to fall in the shadow of amazing shows like Critical Role and The Adventure Zone. In the hype of larger productions and bigger fanbases, it’s all too easy to completely miss out on less spoken of productions that are equally as good.
