A year on from launching their D&D actual play web series, the cast of Natural Six reflect on their unfolding campaign, diving into the failures and successes that have helped shape their unique story. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Natural Six’s campaign takes place in the world of Reliquiae, constructed by Game Master Harry McEntire (Xenoblade Chronicles 3). Delving into its dangers and secrets are five adventurers, made up of some of gaming’s most familiar faces: Ben Starr <\/a>(Final Fantasy XVI), Doug Cockle (The Witcher), Hollie Bennett<\/a> ( Square Enix, former-PlayStation Access), Aoife Wilson (Larian Studios, <\/span>former-Eurogamer), and Alex Jordan<\/a> (Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty). We sat down with the cast at London’s EGX x MCM last month to ask how they took risks during their sessions, and whether they surprised themselves with their character’s actions. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Ben Starr<\/span><\/strong>: “I said to Harry the other day, I went, ‘you know I’m not stocking mage armour right now.’ And he went, ‘why?’ And I went, ‘because I kind of think that’s what Radian would do.’ I was playing him with this recklessness. He doesn’t have a high armour class, but he likes walking up to people and just trying to do stuff. I think it’s interesting for the story. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No, that’s not how you play — That’s not how I should play a wizard. A wizard should be standing back, firing spells But there’s something fun about getting up in people’s business.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Starr plays Raidion Thornbear, a Wood Elf Wizard and famously one of the hardest classes to play in Dungeons & Dragons. A challenge that Starr himself told us last year<\/a> he was excited to take on.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
