The stream will feature the head DM for the D&D Adventurers League Chris Lindsay, the founder of Dwarven Forge Stefan Pokorny, and Luke Gygax. While the players will consist of several members of the Dungeons and Dragons and tabletop gaming community: Kate Welch, Satine Phoenix, TJ Storm, Matt Mercer, Deborah Ann Woll, Elisa Teague, Matt Colville, and Jason Charles Miller. Plus, more are expected to be announced before the stream this weekend.
Founders and Legends formed in 2018 and developed as a way to celebrate the worldbuilders who create and continue to design roleplaying games. The stream is their way to honor the tradition of storytelling and playing around a table with friends and family.
