Auditions are open for the Penny Lich Table Reads!

Hey there!
My name is T.W. Clawson, and I’m the author of The Penny Lich—a fantasy novel that blends the high-stakes world of dungeon-delving adventurers with the ridiculousness of your favorite workplace comedies. Imagine a D&D party run by someone who’s watched The Office, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and What We Do in the Shadows way too many times… and you’re in the right tavern.
The book is currently in its pre-publication phase, aiming for an Autumn 2025 release. As part of that journey, I’m building a cast of local actors and voice talent to help bring this story to life in a series of recorded table reads—live, bi-weekly sessions where we’ll read through the book in character, laugh a lot, and capture the spirit of the story on camera and mic.
Who We’re Looking For
  • Actors or voice actors (new or seasoned!) who love fantasy and comedy
  • Folks available in the Portland, Oregon area
  • People who can commit to bi-weekly recording sessions (3–5 hours)
  • Anyone excited to collaborate, have fun, and make something weird and cool together
  • Bonus points if you’ve ever played D&D, but it’s not required!
This is a passion project without financial backing (yet), so yes—this is one of those “paid in exposure” gigs. But it’s also an opportunity to build a reel, meet cool people, and be part of something fresh and experimental.

What You’ll Get
  • A regular creative outlet
  • Professional-quality recordings of your performance
  • Credits on all public releases
  • A chance to help shape how this book is introduced to the world
  • Probably a few dumb jokes and snacks
