Game of Thrones stars reunite to play Dungeons & Dragons for charity

The actors behind Hodor, Yara Greyjoy, Podrick Payne and more reunite to play a round of Dungeons & Dragons! The campaign writes itself.

Over a year after Game of Thrones finished its eighth and final season, we’re getting our first reunion! This one will involve select cast members playing Dungeons & Dragons for Red Nose Day, when people from across Britain come together to raise money for worthy causes.

The stars up for this particular round of fantasy fun include Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Bolton), Daniel Portman (Podrick), Gemma Whelan (Yara), Kristian Nairn (Hodor), and Natalia Tena (Osha). Check them out in action below:

“Let’s play a game.” Brrrr. Iwan Rheon will be able to casually creep people out for the rest of his life with that line. Serpentine, Rickon, serpentine!

Anyway, it sounds like whatever character Rheon plays won’t much resemble the famously sadistic Ramsay Bolton. “It’s not all about brawl, man. You gotta think your way through problems. Not like Ramsay Bolton, probably. Not gonna be very useful.” And I hope Kristian Nairn plays a character with a bigger vocabulary than Hodor.

That’s Kate Welch of Wizards of the Coast serving as Dungeon Master for this particular outing. “The games I run tend to be ridiculous and goofy, which are two words I wouldn’t apply to Game of Thrones, necessarily,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “Super excited to see how these actors in particular let loose with the antics you typically find at a D&D table.” I mean, they have to run into a dragon at some point, right? Possibly named Drogon?

And the Game of Thrones cast aren’t the only people getting in on when Dungeons & Dragons is calling D&D Live 2020: Roll w/ Advantage. Other stars participating include Deborah Ann Woll (Daredevil), Amy Acker (Angel), Matthew Lillard (Scream), David Harbour (Stranger Things), and Brandon Routh (Legends of Tomorrow). You can see the full schedule at the Dungeons & Dragons website, but the Game of Thrones cast gets down to business on June 20 at 2:00 p.m. CST.
