Cast and players¶

PITF is played by one game master and four regular players, with a handful of guests who sit in on the call. This page lists who plays whom and which sessions each person is heard in.

The regular cast¶

Player	Role	Characters	Recorded sessions
Andre	Game master (Keeper)	Every NPC, monster and narrator voice	All 37 canon sessions and the one-shot
Rita	Player	Andrew Howard; briefly his duplicate; Mirabeth in the one-shot	All 37 canon sessions and the one-shot
Dante	Player	Kurt Larson; Derk in the one-shot	All 37 canon sessions and the one-shot
Ezra	Player	Dick "The Biz" Baxter; Daniel Webster	All 37 canon sessions
Zack	Player	Huell Kendrick	All 37 canon sessions

All four regulars are heard in every recorded canon session, from Radford Horror 01 to Radford Horrors 04. The only canon session in which a regular's main character does not appear is Radford Horrors 02, where the Biz is a prisoner in Russia and Ezra plays Daniel Webster instead. (Radford Horror 01, Radford Horrors 02, Radford Horrors 04)

The non-canon one-shot Philosopher's Fist 3.J/2: Unchainable has a smaller cast: Andre running, Rita and Dante playing, and a guest commenting from the sidelines. Ezra and Zack are not in it. (Philosopher's Fist)

Guests¶

Four guests are heard on the recordings. None of them plays a character; they comment, joke and fact-check from the sidelines. See Guest players for details.

Who plays whom¶

Character	Player	Notes

Kurt Larson	Dante	Ex-CIA consultant; present in every canon session.
Dick "The Biz" Baxter	Ezra	A prisoner in Russia, apart from the rest of the party, throughout The Radford Horrors.
Daniel Webster	Ezra	Second character, named on the spot in Radford Horrors 01.

Mirabeth	Rita	One-shot only (non-canon).
Derk	Dante	One-shot only (non-canon).
Everyone else	Andre	All NPCs, from Diane and Big Bill to Nancy the goose.

Uncertain speakers¶

Five recordings come from a single mixed audio track, so it is not always certain which player is speaking: Radford Horror 01, Radford Horror 08, Summer Service 04, Appalachia 04 and Appalachia 07. A line or a roll credited to a particular player in those sessions is probable rather than certain. See Lost episodes.
