What is Actoroke™?

Actoroke™ roleplaying karaoke for actors.

Actoroke™ (sounds similar to Karaoke) is an epic high-fantasy RPG experience based in the World of Chaldea and streamed live on Twitch and available later on The World of Chaldea Youtube Channel.

An artist (who is actively involved in the game play experience), will illustrate character portraits, landscapes, locations, NPC’s, heroes, villains, and monsters live during each game session—directed by DM and players. Following the game, the Chaldea writing staff will adapt the adventure into a short script that will be performed and filmed live by a new cast of actors on twitch the following week. After the Actors Studio, the Chaldea post-production team will edit actor performances together with game play art, combined with DM narration, and music score to produce a unique video experience released to the world during an Actoroke Viewing Party the next week.

In and out in three-weeks—adventure complete. Now rinse and repeat five more times for a thrilling six-part adventure series.
