Ahead of Erika Ishii\u2019s guest appearance on The Twenty-Sided Tavern<\/em> in New York City<\/a>, we sat down with Ishii, as well as veteran performers and roleplayers Felicia Day and Aabria Iyengar, for a wide-ranging conversation on roleplay, cringe, and how to prepare for a chaotic off-Broadway appearance!<\/p>\n

The Twenty-Sided Tavern<\/em> is an actual-play DnD show where the audience participates. Scanning a QR code on your program gets you assigned one of the three players onstage, and lets you help out in their challenges along the way. I\u2019ve been to the show myself, and really enjoyed the level of participation. It was snappy and fun, and kept the show moving and feeling interactive without being distracting.<\/p>\n

Iyengar and Day have both taken a turn as players, and imparted some critical advice for Ishii over the course of our conversation, which was livestreamed to Polygon\u2019s Twitch channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, a straightfoward interview isn\u2019t really our style \u2014 and with three veteran roleplayers, we felt it would be a shame not to take advantage of their skills! We had the three roll against a QC (question class) to determine the quality of questions we asked. They rose to the challenge, even adeptly handling a critical fail from Ishii in the Cringe Dungeon along the way. Check out the full interview, which is full of wisdom and insights and kindness from three incredibly talented performers.<\/p>\n
