Rock & Roll for Initiative

THE PLAYERS

Come meet the swarthy lads who make this show happen! 

Rock & Roll for Initiative is created by a lifelong group of best friends who, after playing D&D together for many years, finally decided to present their inane babblings to the world. While little else is known about these strange fellows, we can say with a degree of certainty that they are, in fact, old enough to know better. If you've found yourself here, then it would seem that the efficacy of their creation has indeed borne unholy fruit...

In all seriousness though, we're just a bunch of dudes who share a mutual love for music, fantasy, and all things nerdy. We appreciate you taking the time out of your day to gaze upon our mortal forms, and we hope that your coming harvest reflects a bounty worthy of such a magnificent display of humanity. If you're interested in chatting with us, or verbally accosting us for that matter, you should check out our social links or drop a message on the contact page!

Proceed cautiously weary traveler, for you have been warned... 

About the Hosts

NATE Profile Photo

NATE

George Georgeson / Baked Bean Aficionado / Hungarian Social Club Motivational Speaker

Ever met one of the people that you accidentally refer to as "Harold" and they say, "Hey, how's it going?" That's Nate, right here. Always ready with the perfect alliterative nonsense-phrase, Nate's exactly the sort of wingman you want by your side in the trenches of a 2 AM Denny's run. When he isn't spending time with his beloved felid companions, you can usually find Nate sippin' on an ice-cold Diet Coke, playing some Mass Effect, or attempting to find parking in front of his house. What a mensch!

BIGGS

Gil Albright / Kazoo Enthusiast / Certified Scorpion Trainer

Legends speak of a man so bodacious, so svelte, so aptly named, that their very presence is enough to evoke wonderment from the entire tri-state area. Well, we're not sure if that's the best way to describe Biggs, but it certainly is enough to sign for a search warrant. Rare as it may be, you can sometimes spot a wild Bigg-Boi out at the Gym, near the local hobby shop, or behind the K-Mart perfecting his secret butter recipe. Truly, he is our shining star.

ANDY

Benedict MacIntyre / Genuinely Good Human Being / Father of Modern Interpretive Dance

β€œThe language of light can only be decoded by the heart.” Suzy Kassem once famously said that, and our research team has come to the conclusion that she was most likely speaking of our pal, Andy. Unlike the rest of us hooligans, Andy not only possesses a moral compass, but he also has an acute understanding of what a compass actually does. In fact, statistical evidence shows that this fine fellow is likely to dethrone even our holy Keanu as "The World's Most Beloved Public Figure." Stay gold, Ponyboy.

ZACHIBOI FRESH

Crawford Mawson / BJJ Practitioner / President of the Official Stephanie Tanner Fan Club

Everyone's favorite uncle & mysterious interloper, now available in one convenient, sultry package! At the tender age of 17, Zack came to a realization as he stared at the splash image of Season 6, Episode 17 of Full House: "If Jodie Sweetin can become the host of a middling television dance-off competition, then surely I can at least see Failure in concert 14 times before the cruel reality of arthritis and crippling joint damage sets in!" While his realization proved to be false, it certainly strengthened his ability to craft over 60 sublime MTG decks. Silence may not be golden, but that doesn't mean it can't be beautiful.

Roger Profile Photo

Roger

Tour Manager / Production Dingus / Licensed Charles Dickens Detractor

At the end of the day, some stars are meant to shine, others are best left under a heat lamp for 2-3 hours in order to maintain a semblance of texture. Roger fits neither of these descriptions, but that doesn't bring him down, at least not publicly. Born with an unhealthy Les Paul obsession and an innate desire to spread his absurdly annoying love of Tobias Forge to the world, Roger somehow managed, instead, to bring our swarthy crew together for your entertainment. If his ADHD could only be weaponized...
