Dungeons & Dragons has been around for over 50 years, but it finally minted a star this century with Brennan Lee Mulligan. The 38-year-old comedian has carved a fascinating niche for himself as the world’s preeminent Game Master, moderating the tabletop role-playing game for Dropout’s D&D-focused Dimension 20 series.

Mulligan may be a celebrity in the RPG world — he also hosts the role-playing vodcast Worlds Beyond Number and served as the most recent Game Master for the D&D web series Critical Role — but his talents are known outside the role-playing world, too.

Trained at the comedy troupe Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) and currently one of Dropout’s biggest stars, Mulligan is adept at comedy that’s inclusive and approachable — as seen on Game Changer and its spinoff Make Some Noise. As the author of the acclaimed webcomic Strong Female Protagonist, Mulligan brought to life a young do-gooder grappling with her legacy. After the series wrapped, Mulligan skewered viral trends and corporate greed in the sketch "Tide CEO," which won a Webby Award and has been viewed nearly 10 million times.

Mulligan’s varied interests are showcased on his social channels, with over 1.2 million followers on Instagram and TikTok combined, so even if orcs and fairies aren’t your thing, you’ll still scroll away laughing.
