Cast List
The performers, story-tellers, and truth-seekers
The way we play TTRPGs is markedly different - aimed at making the most entertaining show possible for the listener while retaining and honoring the improvised authenticity of tabletop. Read more about them below!
Kenny Mai
KENNY MAI (Dungeon Master, FABLES OF FROST & FUR) is a New York based actor, TTRPG performer, professional game master, and passionate storyteller. He has a passion for pushing the boundaries of actual plays as a medium, and exploring the intersection between traditional stage performance and TTRPGs.
Prior to his TTRPG life, he was seen performing at Playrights Horizons and 54 Below, as well as other regional performances. In his spare time he loves consuming as much cinema and television as time allows, while still taking sufficient care of his wife and cats.
The cats are quite demanding.

Carmen
What’s an introvert's nightmare? When your DM takes your character idea and says “lets frame the whole campaign around this.” Well, friends, this was CARMEN’s (Poppy, FABLES OF FROST & FUR) first introduction to actual play.
When she’s not playing tragically broken D&D characters, Carmen is most likely to be found crying over anime, no-lifeing video games, or burying herself in pages and pages of high fantasy reading. Obsessed with character creation, world-building and stories, Carmen is an avid writer who spends too many hours awake at night dreaming of made up realities.
Social media gives her the sweats, but you can occasionally find her breaking the internet as tohylia on TikTok.

Matt Ting
MATT TING (Harlan, FABLES OF FROST & FUR) and Kenny have performed on the stage together, where he slapped Kenny nightly. In their downtime, they also played D&D. Wanting to re-experience one of those things, Kenny sought out Matt for this project.
Matt was invited into this project to bring his love of subtle, authentic performance into a new style of narrative D&D. He is consistently able to bring the rest of the table to stunned silence with a single line. (Kaylie wrote this paragraph, Matt would never write this about himself)
He also works as a ballet dancer, which is to say, professionally prancing around in tights and lifting women over his head.
Kaylie
KAYLIE (Vianne, FABLES OF FROST & FUR) is a lifelong storyteller, but this is her first foray into performing arts. She is a D&D gremlin of many hats - rules lawyer, note taker, meme machine, and campaign conspiracy theorist.
She is thrilled to be part of the new wave of Narrative Actual Play, and would love to listen to your project. You’ll find her behind the scenes of RFI as both a project assistant and a professional crier for foley.
She's old, so, send an email, kids. kaylie.rfi@gmail.com

Wesley Sherow
WESLEY SHEROW (Dungeon Master, THE STRANGER; Lightkeeper, STELLARIS OBSCURA) is a NYC-based entrepreneur, socialite, photographer, and all-around creative force. He first imagined Roll for Impact during a particularly turbulent moment in his life, not realizing that a passion project meant to clear his head would transform into a groundbreaking creation in the TTRPG space. Driven by an insatiable desire to innovate, Wesley poured his energy into building an extraordinary storytelling platform, now recognized for pushing the boundaries of collaborative play.
By day, he’s a real estate operator and developer, navigating the fast-paced world of property deals and urban transformation. By night, he’s a fixture in New York’s most exclusive scenes, mingling with influencers, celebrities, and fellow creatives. With camera in hand, Wesley captures the city’s electrifying energy, weaving his love for photography seamlessly into his nightlife exploits. Whether orchestrating property ventures or rolling dice with a flair, Wesley’s ultimate goal remains the same: to make every moment—both on and off the table—an unforgettable experience.

From community engagement, world building and emulation voice acting, Wit implements improv and a theater upbringing to instill a sense of real emotion amongst TTRPG players.
