Actor, comedian, writer, and renowned tabletop game master Brennan Lee Mulligan has officially joined the SXSW Sydney 2025 lineup. He’s set to host the SXSW Sydney Games keynote for the year, on 14 October, and he’ll also be presenting his own live show, Endless Dungeon, in both Melbourne (13 October) and Sydney (15 October).
Mulligan is fresh off a bumper year, having recently been announced as the new dungeon master for the acclaimed Dungeons & Dragons actual play group, Critical Role, and recently selling out Madison Square Garden alongside his Dimension 20 crew. He’ll share his wisdom and experiences with SXSW Sydney attendees between his live show shenanigans.
As for what to expect of those shenanigans, Endless Dungeon is a live actual-play Dungeons & Dragons show that invites audiences into a chaotic world of magic and improv, with Mulligan guiding four players through various wild scenarios. For the Sydney and Melbourne legs, he’ll be joined by an array of local Australian talent, including Jordan Raskopoulos, Tom Cardy, Demi Lardner, and Zac Naoum.
All four will be delving into ‘a chaotic labyrinth teeming with booby-trapped treasure chests, bizarre denizens, mayhem and Mimics.’ With the action determined by dice rolls, anything can happen – so audiences should prepare for whatever may come.
‘This will be my first visit to Australia, and I couldn’t be more excited to bring the Endless Dungeon tour to Sydney and Melbourne,’ Mulligan said. ‘Expect the kind of chaos you can only find at the table – but live, on stage.’

‘Australian game developers are creating games that help us better understand neurodiversity, mental health and reproductive health options; to experience little known parts of the world, and to explore issues like over-consumption and the impact of plastics in our waterways,’ the team said in a press release. An array of games will be discussed and/or playable during the event, with developers on board to talk about their importance, and impact overall. Here’s the major headliners, as recently announced.
‘This year’s line up is another one full of intelligent, experienced, heartfelt developers and researchers presenting the cutting edge of games around themes in mental health, education, accessibility, representation, behavioural change, sustainability, and empathy.’
