Codename Entertainment and the Grant Imahara STEAM foundation have teamed up to bring a familiar Baby Blue Dragon to Idle Champions.

A new Baby Blue Dragon familiar is coming to Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, the D&D idle team game that features characters from throughout D&D’s lore as well as popular characters from livestreams and podcasts, including Minsc & Boo, K’thriss Drow’b of Acquisitions Inc., and Spurt from Critical Role.

The latest addition is inspired from Jen Kretchmer, whom you’ll recognize as one of the big names on the upcoming Candlekeep Mysteries, whose character Alyndra from the D&D Beyond stream Silver & Steel has a baby blue dragon familiar. This familiar, named Grant, after Kretchmer’s friend, the late Grant Imahara, will be coming to Idle Champions as part of a charity drive benefitting the Grant Imahara STEAM foundation. Check out the details below.

We are honored to announce that we have partnered with the Grant Imahara STEAM Foundation and Jen Kretchmer to release, Grant, the Baby Blue Dragon Familiar, honoring Grant Imahara. Codename Entertainment will be donating the net proceeds from all sales of the Grant, the Baby Blue Dragon Familiar through March 24th, 2021, to the Grant Imahara STEAM Foundation.

The Grant Imahara STEAM Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Grant’s mother, Carolyn Imahara, and several of his lifelong friends. Guided by the core principles embodied by Grant throughout his life – curiosity, integrity, and generosity, the Foundation’s mission is to inspire emerging talent and empower underserved youth in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math education. The Foundation will carry on Grant’s legacy of giving back to communities in need through mentorships, grants, and scholarships. The Foundation envisions a world where every student has equal access to STEAM education, regardless of their socio-economic status, race, color, or gender.

Grant, the Baby Blue Dragon is a familiar of Jen Kretchmer‘s character Alyndra, of Beyond Heroes, Silver & Steel, and soon to be of the Heroes of the Planes.

Kretchmer spoke about naming her familiar after her late friend in an interview with Codename Entertainment:

Familiars are a new class of NPC that you can assign to specific tasks like clicking on enemies, using ultimates, or leveling up your champions. They’ll handle some of the clicking you’d be doing for you.
