“Game of Thrones” stars are set to reunite in a fantasy world—this time in the online game “Dungeons and Dragons.”

Actors Daniel Portman (Podrick Payne), Gemma Whelan (Yara Greyjoy), Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Bolton), Kristian Nairn (Hodor) and Natalia Tena (Osha) will play via video call on Saturday, June 20, at 12 p.m. PT (3 a.m. in Manila).

The four drummed up excitement for the role-playing game in a video on Friday, June 12.

Rheon shared in the video that he would deviate from his cold-blooded character on the show. “It’s not all about brawl, man. You gotta think your way through problems. Not like Ramsay Bolton, probably. Not gonna be very useful,” he remarked.

The game will stream on the YouTube and Twitch pages of “Dungeons and Dragons.” It serves as a fundraiser for Red Nose Day, a campaign to help kids affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.

Other Hollywood stars playing in a separate game on Saturday are “Guardians of the Galaxy” actors Karen Gillan and Pom Klementieff, David Harbour of “Stranger Things” and Brandon Routh of “Superman Returns.”  /ra
