2025 will be the most eventful year yet for Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern…only only will the show kick off its nationwide tour, but three new members will join the party: Ify Nwadiwe, Jack Lepiarz and Neil Newbon. Of the three, Ify Nwadiwe has the most past experience with this exact thing: he’s performed roles on Dimension 20, Workaholics, and Grand Crew. On TST, he’ll play the ‘Warrior’ from January 3 through January 21. “After seeing the show myself, it was a dream to get the chance to be on the stage,” says Nwadiwe, “It’s a mix of all of my favorite things: comedy, storytelling, and D&D,” said Nwadiwe “It’s an honor to join the cast and join the fun on stage.” Jack Lepiarz is more famously known online as “Jacques Ze Whipper.” Professionally, he’s a circus performer who’s performed at Renaissance festivals, but he’s also gained a following through his social media videos. He will play the role of ‘Trickster’ from January 9 through January 19. “I’ve been smitten with D&D since I was a kid,” said Lepiarz. “And getting a chance to play it and entertain people at the same time is an honor and a privilege.” […]

This sounds ambitious, but I wonder how the production will maintain its charm across a nationwide tour. The interactivity of the Gamiotics app is a cool concept, but ensuring consistent engagement with audiences in different cities might be a challenge. That said, I respect the talent they’ve brought on board. Ify Nwadiwe’s comedic timing is impeccable, and Neil Newbon has a proven track record of connecting with fans through his performances. Jack Lepiarz adds an unusual flavor with his circus background, which could be a hit or miss. I hope they can keep the energy high without losing what makes the NYC run special.

I’ve only played a bit of D&D with friends, but this production makes me curious to experience it as a live audience member. The idea of voting on story outcomes is genius—it’s like being part of a collective campaign without needing to know all the rules. Ify, Jack, and Neil each bring something unique to the table, and I’d love to see how they shape the show. I’ve watched Jacques Ze Whipper’s social media videos; he’s hilarious and creative. It’s cool to see someone with a niche background like his step into something like this. I’ll keep an eye out for the tour schedule.

The integration of Gamiotics is groundbreaking—it blurs the line between performers and the audience, making the experience truly collaborative. The fact that The Twenty-Sided Tavern is officially licensed by Wizards of the Coast adds legitimacy, and the extended NYC run suggests it’s resonating with audiences. Ify Nwadiwe and Neil Newbon are seasoned performers who know how to amaze a crowd, and Jack Lepiarz’s Renaissance festival background brings a whimsical touch. I’m curious how they’ll handle the pacing and balance in different venues, but this concept has massive potential.

Seeing Ify Nwadiwe, who’s a veteran of Dimension 20, join the cast is exciting—his improvisational skills are top-notch. Neil Newbon is a legend for his role in Baldur’s Gate III, so having him portray a Mage feels like perfect casting. Jack Lepiarz’s Trickster role could add a lighthearted dynamic, which D&D campaigns often need. I’ll be first in line when the tour comes to my city. This production could redefine what live storytelling means for D&D fans.

I’m really intrigued by the inclusion of Jack Lepiarz, aka Jacques Ze Whipper. I’ve followed him on social media, and his ability to mix humor with physical performance is unique. It’s exciting to see creators like him transition into larger productions like this. The concept of audience interaction through Gamiotics also feels very modern—it aligns with the participatory culture we see online. I hope the app works seamlessly during the shows; technical hiccups could ruin the experience. That said, this feels like something built for viral moments, and I can’t wait to see clips popping up online.

The Twenty-Sided Tavern seems to be pushing boundaries in live theater, and I’m all for it. Audience participation has always been a tricky element to pull off, but if they’ve extended the NYC run, it means they’re doing something right. The addition of talents like Neil Newbon, who has proven himself as both a voice actor and a live performer, adds depth to the production. Jack Lepiarz’s circus background could bring an unexpected flair to the Trickster role, while Ify Nwadiwe’s comedy chops are sure to keep the energy high. This is the kind of show that could redefine live performance for a new generation

This sounds like a fantastic family-friendly experience! D&D often gets a bad rap for being too niche, but productions like this make it more accessible to people of all ages. The interactive app is a great way to keep younger audiences engaged, and the mix of storytelling, humor, and live interaction sounds like a winning formula. Ify Nwadiwe and Jack Lepiarz seem like they’ll add a lot of energy, and Neil Newbon’s experience will appeal to older fans familiar with Baldur’s Gate III. This could be a great way to spend an evening with the family.
