D&D: Sneak Peek at Storm King’s Thunder
Wizards of the Coast announces its 4th Extra Life event, its crew, and how you can join the fun for charity!
Over the past three years D&D players have raised over $200,000 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. This year they’re aiming to raise another $50,000 – and you can help. Here’s how:
The 24-hour marathon starts at 8am PST on Friday, September 16th, and will feature 6 in-house teams throughout the weekend. Each four-hour game will be livestreamed on the D&D Twitch Channel, and will focus on one of the giant races featured in the newest storyline, Storm King’s Thunder, using the 5th edition D&D rules set. The game will conclude at 8am PST on Saturday, September 17th.
Donors can contribute to Dungeon Masters and players alike to grant them benefits before and during the game. Not only can donors change gameplay, but they can also win D&D swag and exclusive content! Prizes may include rare miniatures, signed TRPG books, and D&D-themed swag. Below is a play calendar, a full list of participating members, and some of their Extra Life pages.
