Hi folks!
(I'm not sure this is the right forum for this, but it's definitely related to novels?)
Dear Friends, Family, Fans, and Random Internet People,
It's that time of year again!
Usually I use Dungeons & Dragons to write books, but for the Dungeons & Dragons R&D’s 2014 Extra Life drive I’ll be using it to raise money the Children’s Miracle Network and Seattle Children’s Hospital, helping them treat thousands of children each year, regardless of their family’s ability to pay.
To donate go here: http://www.extra-life.org/participant/105054
What the what now? How do you raise money playing D&D?
The game is 25-hours long, all run by the same DM, and it will be broadcast on D&D’s Twitch channel, so you can tune in and watch what happens (and maybe score some nice prizes). That also gives you the opportunity to affect gameplay with your donations.
Like how?
Well, for starters, you can affect the characters people play. Some of my teammates are selling the right to name their character or decide what race they should be for donations. Last year, I played as Havilar. This year, I'm taking votes. Your donation can gain a vote for a variety of characters, listed on my donation page. (
Oh my god--you'll play as Lorcan?
It's for the children.
Every donation goes toward unlocking threshold goals too. For example if I raise $600, I'll release a never-before-seen scene featuring the characters from The God Catcher. If I raise $1000, my character gets a free resurrection.
If I raise $1200, the DM will unleash Sairché on the players
And if I raise my goal of $1800, I'm giving away a cool replica of Lorcan's scourge pendant.
Hmm...that sounds cool and all. But I'd rather make sure you TPK have a lot of fun playing D&D by loading you up with monsters.
*Sigh.* You can also buy monsters by donating to the DM, Greg Bilsland.
Okay...hypothetically let's say I want to make a donation, but I have no idea at all who these characters are.
You don't have to vote. Your donations are still welcome. And to help you decide, I'm posting excerpts of your character options.

Thanks for your attention!
Best,
