Many titles I enjoy playing, such as Stardew Valley and Valhiem, do not have voice acting. However, when I watch my spouse play a game, we like to guess the voice actors for various characters. Ever since we started watching Critical Role, we have been more mindful of this aspect of the craft. So when I found a game tied to many talented artists, I knew I had to share it with TGON. Today, we will learn about Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical.
Cast
Summerfall Studios boasts an all-star cast, and they were not exaggerating. Down below is a table of the actors and the characters they voice.

Thoughts on Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical
When I first saw this title flash across my computer screen, I was in awe of the casting decisions. From television, D&D streams, and video games, I knew pretty much every name I came across. So, that was exciting. However, that is not what will make me play this game. The musical aspect and art style displayed in this title are unique. I am excited to see these characters break out in song.
Additionally, it will be interesting to see the Greek pantheon as these developers have tweaked it. Finally, I am most excited to see how my choices impact the gameplay experience. Based on the trailer alone, I know I will want to replay the story multiple times. So seeing what I can change throughout the game will be an exciting challenge. All-and-all, I am excited to play Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical.
