Cast & Characters | Those Natural Ones

The Dungeon Master

Architect of worlds, voice of fate

Nick Marlatt

Dungeon Master/ Chief Creative Officer

Founding Member
Nick fell headfirst into the world of Dungeons & Dragons during the COVID lockdown. As an essential worker with suddenly far too much free time, he began filling the long hours with YouTube—and one fateful recommended video from XP to Level 3 sent him tumbling down the rabbit hole. Before long, that curiosity turned into full-blown obsession as he discovered Critical Role and the endless storytelling possibilities of tabletop roleplaying.
Nick’s DMing style draws heavy inspiration from Matt Mercer, blending cinematic storytelling, character-driven drama, and a touch of theatrical flair. His goal at the table is simple: create stories that feel alive and moments players will be talking about long after the dice stop rolling.

The Players

Six souls, countless dice rolls

Scott Marlatt

Player/CEO

Playing D'Louph N'Douph

Founding Member
Scott is a published fantasy author who somehow finds time to write inbetween video editing, stream prep and admin work for TNO. Not to mention a demanding adult job. It's his dream to get rid of the adult job and focus on the fantasy worlds.

Sorry kids, Scott is not the guy from the Minecraft movie.

Grung Bard Neutral

Emery Saunders

Player

Playing Dr. Parmbert Causticious Vernerlerler

Founding Member
As a long time TTRPG player, Emery Saunders has been playing D&D since 2009 and running games as Dungeon Master since 2016. A man of many hobbies, when he's not engaged in the local theatre or music scene, you can always find him playing or DMing a game for Those Natural Ones.

Dragonborn Artificer Chaotic Neutral

Chris Holcomb

Player

Playing Gau Spectre

Washed up middle aged man that keeps his small collection of dice in neat uniform rows and shreds.

Aasimar Cleric Neutral

Cassandra "CJ"

Player

Playing Rhya Cascadae

CJ is powered primarily by coffee, creativity, and the responsibility of being the world’s okayest mom. With a natural -3 in charisma, she is just as chaotic as the D&D characters she brings to the table. CJ spends her life trying to keep it all together, and can usually be found petting all the dogs or being adopted by yet another cat.

Halfling Rogue Chaotic Good

Elly

Player

Playing Helena Timberdell

Elly is a creative introvert who sucks at math but ironically has a lot of hobbies that involve it.

Eladrin Ranger/Cleric Chaotic Neutral

Chase McCants

Player

Playing M'Saada Nia

Chase always wanted to play DnD as a kid, but that wasn’t exactly something happening in Detroit Public Schools in the 90s. Little Chase would be proud to know that his adult counterpart now goes on weekly adventures with a group of adults who also enjoy a healthy amount of pretending. These days, that usually means stepping into the boots of M’Saada Nia and seeing what trouble she can get the party into. It also doubles as a great excuse to act, which works out nicely since Chase is a theater nerd…among many other nerdisms.

Human Sorcerer/Rogue Neutral
