Jeff Goldblum is lending his very distinctive voice to a spooky wizard for season two of the Dungeons & Dragons podcast.
The Jurassic Park star will drop into Dark Dice as elven sorcerer Balmur, one of five characters who are also players in the unusual audio series which, like the game on which it s based, allows viewers to dictate the story s direction. Created by bosses at Fool & Scholar Productions, the show is edited and produced by husband-and-wife duo Travis Vengroff and Kaitlin Statz, who also serves as the writer. The hugely popular Dungeons & Dragons franchise began life as a board game, launched in 1974, and the latest Dark Dice season is set as the team seeks revenge against another group of characters, whose actions are also decided by fans taking part in the game, while battling a shape-shifting creature called The Silent One.

Dungeons and Dragons podcast Dark Dice. It s not a story per se, but an actual game played in a campaign tabletop setting where players improvise based on scenarios presented and determined by the roll of dice.
The Jurassic World star is set to play elven sorcerer Balmur in the series as one of five player characters, according to Deadline Hollywood. Who better to play the elven sorcerer than the MCU s Grandmaster himself?

Actor Jeff Goldblum is joining the cast of a fan-made Dungeons & Dragons podcast called
Dark Dice, created and written by Fool and Scholar Productions. The high-concept audio drama starts out as a traditional session of D&D, complete with dice and a Dungeon Master. Sequences are then cut, condensed, and performed with additional voice acting, original music, and sound effects. Episodes featuring the Jurassic Park actor will begin airing for free on May 12. The announcement was made Wednesday by Deadline.
Speaking with Polygon by telephone, co-creator Travis Vengroff said that Fool and Scholar originally began as a vehicle for more traditional audio dramas. A few years back, as a team building exercise for his cast, Vengroff ran a short D&D-themed adventure. The experience proved so engaging for the audience that a whole new series was born.
