Reverend
Why is a holyish man on the show? As D says, it's cheaper than therapy. Having approached James and Amanda years ago about creating a show on board games, he has since learned how deep that rabbit hole goes while slamming into the sides of said hole and receiving multiple concussions. D's super power, Additional Voices, may not be the flashiest of super powers, but a well timed W or Walken helps to liven things up.

Face it, when you are blessed with the gift of wrap, you use it! Amanda discovered her incredible talent on episode 54 and since then she's been tearing up the charts. With gaming related wraps like "Just Buy the Table, James" and "Y'all Want Some Cheese Its?", she's sure to be going places in Idaho. When she isn't molding the minds of youngsters as a teacher, she's playing games with Couch James and their kiddos.
Wizard
An enigma, wrapped in a mystery, wrapped in a T-shirt, these are common phrases used to describe Billy the Gray. The brother of Couch James and part time resident of Innsmouth, Billy got bored of the supernatural madness and returned to Reno. He now is perfecting an unheard of 450 degree Darkslide skateboard trick in an effort to defeat his greatest rival, Tony Owl. His extensive knowledge of Lovecraft and Tolkien has served him well, as his Cthulhu Smeagol 720 Spin Flip has yet to be duplicated on the scene. His involvement in the show has greatly improved the overall quality as he knows exactly how to drive Couch James insane.
Couch Aficionado
It has been said, every 1000 years a James will rise up from all the James in the world and become the legendary Super James. Couch James...is not that James. He does have amazing powers to read rulebooks and decipher that information in a way that makes sense to his players. Upon hitting the jackpot in life and marrying Rap Masta A, he set forth on his quest to find the ultimate couch. The search has brought him close to achieving what he has called "Couchvana" where all stress melts away and one achieves true enlightenment. With his soothing voice and amazing rulebook deciphering skills, he will need to find that couch soon due to his players' shenanigans which lead to his almost daily affirmation; "I just, I just can't with you guys."
Who is Intern Xteve? Is Xteve real, or is he imaginary? Xteve joined in season 2 and took over editing duties, a job that has not been made easy by the rest of the cast (it can't all be fixed in post!) but he has soldiered on. Despite the constant ribbing and joking at his expense, Xteve has made the show better with his editing experience and willingness to put up with the RA cast. Do you believe Xteve is real? #Ibelieveinxteve
