What to Watch: This Game Is Cursed, the Jumaji’d Into D&D Actual Play

Imagine you and your friends sit down to play a D&D game, but the moment you started rolling dice, you're teleported away. Only to wake up as your D&D character with all their abilities and skills in a fantasy world.

This Game is Cursed Season 2 releases April 2nd, produced by longtime TTRPG Actual Play Studio, Total Party Chill. 

The series follows four players who have been inexplicably transported à la Jumanji-like magic into a cursed Dungeons & Dragons game. The players possess the bodies and skills of a group of legendary adventurers while still maintaining their real-life experience and meta knowledge of the classic tabletop RPG. Season 2 begins with our players escaping the game, but still in the bodies of their D&D characters and an evil force has followed them back.

Each episode is around an hour long and features original commissioned art, high-quality sound mixing, SFX, and multi-cam studio production.

This Game is Cursed stars: Lana Pineda Köhn (Summer Elf Barbarian), a San Francisco-based fine artist, Dionte Butler-Abney (Goliath Wizard), an Oakland native video game industry professional and former professional basketball player, Phil Mills (Human Bard), a broadway theater veteran, Nate Perretta (Tiefling Rogue), a video game professional and long-time D&D enthusiast, and Devon Chulick (Dungeon Master), Total Party Chill creator and co-founder of StartPlaying.
