We are Roleplaying and Rollplaying! We are an actual-play TTRPG podcast that is based in Michigan. For all you non-nerds out there, TTRPG means tabletop roleplaying game, and the actual-play bit means we play it on the podcast itself. We started our humble little adventure in August of 2020, a dire year to say the least. We hope to rise like a phoenix out of the ashes of 2020 and emerge as…a cool podcast I guess.
We appreciate the help and support from all of our fans (affectionately called the Pterodactyl Crew), and we love all of the input that you give us! Feel free to reach out to us via email roleplayingandrollplaying@gmail.com, and be sure to follow us on Twitter!
Our Podcasters
Sam Comerford (playing Warren Morris in Season 2) is the founder, editor, producer, and runs the super duper funny and wacky Twitter account for the Roleplaying and Rollplaying podcast. He was born and raised outside of Detroit, and at one point in his life he was in a band with Michael Donato and Sean Grinsell. He is currently a communications major at DePaul University and he has been playing D&D for 4 years. He enjoys classic rock and Reubens, and he loves dogs more than people. His favorite movie is the Big Lebowski.
Alex Jutila is a founder and Creative Director of Roleplaying and Rollplaying and he is the DM of the Sinner’s Saga arc. He is a student at Michigan State University where he studies biomedical laboratory science. He also is a learning assistant for a chemistry lab. He has been playing Dungeons and Dragons for two and a half years and has about two years of DM experience. .
Audrey Fiero is a founder and runs the Tik Tok account of Roleplaying and Rollplaying and plays Andromeda Keeghl in the Ringbearer Chronicles arc. Frequently a player and rarely the DM, she is studying communication while working as a hair stylist. She started playing Dungeons and Dragons with her older brother back when 5e was first released and has been playing ever since (though admittedly most of her high school years were with janky broken homebrew rules). She has certainly learned a lot since then.
Sean Grinsell is a founder and music producer of Roleplaying and Rollplaying and plays Dane Barnette in the Ringbearer Chronicles arc. He is currently a college sophomore double majoring in Cybersecurity and Music Performance. Music is one of his biggest passions. Recently, he’s gotten into the art of music production, posting his songs on SoundCloud and producing for the podcast. His music mainly focuses around rock, funk, or blues. If you would like to have a listen, you can find him on SoundCloud by searching “Sean Grinsell”. He also loves to cook, read, and exercise.
Michael Donato is a founder and renaissance man of Roleplaying and Rollplaying and plays Trevor Barnette in the Ringbearer Chronicles arc. Michael started playing Dungeons and Dragons 3 years ago when his friends coaxed him into playing. He loved it, and has been playing with them since. When he has time away from his engineering workload he’s a guitar player, gamer, bad skater, and book reader. He also used to be in a band with Sean and Sam.
