MEET THE CREW
The Cast & Characters
DM
Rich · Co-creator & Producer of Whosonfirstwatch
The DM
The Architect of Chaos, Weaver of Worlds, and Supreme Arbiter of “Are you sure you want to do that?” Voice of gods and monsters, keeper of secrets, and spinner of impossible choices. A master of lore, imposter syndrome, and emergency improvisation — thriving in the beautiful disaster that is Hammanaroth.
Player: Rich began with Tunnels & Trolls and Dragon Warrior before discovering D&D many moons ago. Co-creator of the Hammanaroth world. When not with family, he’s boxing, riding, building LEGO, or working on the podcast and related projects.
Character
Tholandi Vurthr
Scarred from shoulder to thigh, Tholandi Vurthr carries his past as steadily as his limp. Sturdy, weathered, and marked by faded tattoos and stone tokens. Calm and watchful, shaped more by loss than ambition, he bears burdens he rarely names.
Player: Sean
An old-school D&D player who remembers THAC0 and Monster Manual binders. After decades chasing that same spark, he’s found it in Hammanaroth. He loves party tension, laughter, and now runs games for his kids to share the joy.
Character
Faedra
An orphan who found light in storytelling, Faedra wandered Hammanaroth bringing hope and escape to others. A decade with The Emberroad Company has honed her illusionary craft under her mentor Merrick.
Player: Sarah
A 90s kid raised on Tolkien and Pratchett, Sarah discovered tabletop RPGs eight years ago. She loves voices, characters, and both sides of the DM screen. After a creative dry spell, she’s thrilled to dive into something rich again.
Character
Bjorn Ercison
A no-nonsense warrior from Valsgarde, raised in the traditions of battle and honour. Exiled from the Alliance for reasons untold, he became a pirate and mercenary before barely surviving his last fight. Now recovering, waiting for his next chance at glory.
Player: Nathan
White-collar by day, lifelong nerd since 1987. Loves board games, wargames, fantasy, and military history. Back from a decade in the UK where he attended an Ashes Test at Lord’s and flew a Spitfire. A cricket tragic and BBQ dreamer at heart.
Character
Kaia Vaelros
A half-elf raised among performers in the Moon and Mirth Company. Gifted in divination and channeling the Weave through tarot, she left her troupe to wander. Now bonded with Faedra, she brings joy, mischief, and a belief that “Fate visits every soul.”
Player: Liv
Allied Health Professional by day, aspiring voice actor by night. Long-time fantasy fan and self-confessed dice goblin finally stepping into play. Excited for the horror and delight Daggerheart brings.
Character
Kremlev Pavlenko
A young hunter on the road chasing a secret he keeps close. Forced to grow up fast, he greets life with optimism, finding good in every place and friend in every town.
Player: Harry
A lifelong hobbyist, skilled fool, and DM turned player. Hooked on miniatures and happiest at a casual game, pushing armies or rolling dice with friends.

A RPG podcast channel for immersive storytelling
Two mates, bound by TTRPGs since 2004, built a homebrew world full of pop-culture nods, big set pieces, and plenty of room to play. After a few false starts and practice runs, the right cast came together — and the podcast was born.
Our mission is simple: we're making this for us first — our table, our stories, our friends — and we're inviting you to listen in. No over-polished, over-produced content. Just honest, character-driven TTRPG actual play where fun leads and quality keeps improving. If you're here reading it, thank you for spending some of your time with our stories.
Episodes will release fortnightly, with the occasional LEGO animation scene or still, because this is a passion project and we want it to stay fun. Everything is self-funded and we welcome constructive feedback, but we don't engage with trolls.
