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.

“Wizards of the Coast has published other D&D adventures that can serve as springboards for Storm King’s Thunder, not only getting characters to 5th level but also directing the characters toward one of the three locations described in chapter 2.”
