Every Team Needs A Tank
Next up is the Amazing Actor Bailey Cropp
Introducing our Barbarian
Bailey Cropp: Actor - Wes/Eldran
Bailey is an actor, stunt performer and DnD player from Christchurch. He trained at Unitec, earning a Bachelor’s in Performing Arts, and has been honing his craft as a stunt performer for five years, including training with the New Zealand Stunt School.
His recent roles include Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, Our Flag Means Death Season 2 and Crown and Blade.
He is super excited to be working on Adventure’s End, “I’m getting to work with friends to create something awesome and tell a good story.”
Bailey’s Fun Fact is that he has played DnD with many of the cast and crew and his favourite class is blood hunter, as it gives him the risk and reward which makes TTRPGs worthwhile.

We Are Live!
Welcome to the Adventure's End Boosted Page!
We are so excited to be working on this project and are so grateful to have you all on board.
We are going to be introducing the cast and crew over the next few weeks and today we are starting off our Boosted with the Amazing Director - Amy Workman!
Amy is an Asian-American actor and writer-director. Best known for her role as Hikari in Teen Wolf: The Movie, Amy has been working in film since 2014, in every area from sitcoms, to commercials, to dramatic cinema. She has a passion for telling diverse stories and representing the communities and cultures she loves, in a way that’s accessible and welcoming to all audiences.
Adventure’s End began as a quirky comedy based on Amy’s own Dungeons and Dragons group, and was later rewritten to include the wider TTRPG community, taking a more heartfelt and grounded approach to the way we explore and express ourselves through game characters (though some nods to her party made it into the final draft - they live on through Bex, played by Jorja Stevens).
