LOS ANGELES—Three current and one former adult star will play Dungeons and Dragons live online at noon PST Wednesday on the "I Hit It With My Axe" show at escapistmagazine.com.
Performers Mandy Morbid, Kimberly Kane, and Satine Phoenix, with special guest Gia Jordan (a former porn star), will play the original, old-school Dungeons and Dragons with plenty of gossip and conversation in between moves. Mandy, Kimberly, and Satine and their two non-industry friends, Frankie the hairdresser and Connie the stripper, have been playing the game since last winter. When the head of the Escapist, Alex Marcis, read on Morbid's friend's Zak Smith's blog that they were playing the game regularly, he asked if he could pay the stars to film their next session.
"There are rotating guest stars, like on Scooby Doo," Morbid said. "We had Sasha Grey for the first one, Justine Jolie after that. We're expecting Stoya, Andy San Dimas, Bobbi Starr and Caroline Pierce in the future."
Morbid continued, "I think the best thing about the show is it's very casual. This isn't some fake reality-show set-up, this is actually how these people spend their free time. We purposefully don't get a lot of cameras or lights or a fake set, we just turn on the home video camera and play our usual game.
"It's just a documentary of the way people really are. Like, when Sasha was on, she acted just like the Sasha I know in real life. A lot of people think everything porn chicks say or do is some ruse and that nobody could actually possibly enjoy being a hot girl who has sex a lot. Nope."
Smith adds, "Mandy had surgery last year and we needed something we could do at home—Satine's been playing for a while but didn't have a group in LA so she suggested D&D. It's fun because really being a porn chick in Hollywood in 2010 is about as far from being an elf wizard fighting a lizardman as possible, but everybody gets really into it. It's like, hey, fun is fun, people are people."

Jordan will be playing the game for the first time.
