Back in August of 2018, I put together a short campaign with Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition called Dragonguard as a part of Extra Life Tabletop Appreciation Weekend. For Game Day 2018, we released a second set of episodes and followed it up with a third set continuing the adventure. The last series of episodes ended on something of a cliffhanger, and while the full fourth set isn't quite done, at least one more episode is ready for listening! Join Naomi Lugo (Nomsooni the druid), Marcus Stewart (Scratch Mangy the ranger), and Kyle Gaddo (Barphus the bard) as they don the armor of the illustrious Dragonguard, sworn to defend and protect the realm of Alterra from the dragons at its doorstep. Jack Gardner serves as the Dungeon Master, guiding our heroes through their journey. Dispatched to the small town of Verne, the party began investigating rumors of draconic activity in the area. Learning of a kobold encampment deep within the Morrithil Wastes, they made their way into the vast swampland only to find a largely abandoned village built in the shadow of an ominous dragon skeleton. Encountering a number of old and infirm kobolds in the heart of the town, our heroes learned of an impending attack led by the vengeful dragon, Fallowfell. In an effort to convince Sir Rothurt, Verne's leader, to take the threat seriously, the party made an attempt to rescue his recently kidnapped son, Charles. Risking life and limb, they were able to save Charles only to be met with the awful revelation that Fallowfell had allies in the town itself. Now, Nomsooni, Barphus, and Scratch attempt to consolidate their power in the areas outside of Verne only to find themselves in ever-deepening danger from draconic evils, cunning opportunists, mystical threats, and (of course) themselves. If you want to get a sense of how great a time tabletop roleplaying can be, you're invited to enjoy the adventure along with us. Here's to the amazing things the gaming community accomplished in 2018 and to the even greater things we will all do together in the years to come!

At its best, the tabletop gaming community can be wonderful, coming together to discover new adventures, forge new alliances, and bring out the hero or heroine in all who come to play. Three years ago, the Extra Life Twin Cities Guild in Minnesota worked with the local non-profit tabletop gaming convention Con of the North to have a presence at their event. Over the years that relationship grew into something that brings figures from across the tabletop community in Minnesota together to raise money for the kids. The Extra Life Twin Cities Guild president, Troy Cleland, took point on organizing the event. As with past years, Con of the North graciously gave Extra Life table space to come and talk with curious con-goers about how they can help sick and injured kids in hospitals by playing games. This year, however, Troy was able to bring the convention deeper into the Extra Life fold. “[Because] they donate our table to us, it is no cost to us to be there,” Troy explained, “so we can focus on promotional items and materials.” Being freed from worrying about booth space allowed Troy to coordinate with Con of the North to launch additional fundraising endeavors across the wider convention. One of these fundraising attempts came courtesy of Gen Con, the largest tabletop convention in North America. Con of the North dubbed the event Cardhalla which has people building impressive structures out of playing cards and then donating money at the end of the convention to knock them down. Cardhalla made use of cards donated by the local company Prolific Games, which supplied around 600 decks of playing cards to serve as construction materials. This had never been done before at Con of the North and managed to raise about $150 for Extra Life. Con-goers enjoyed the event quite a bit and there’s little doubt as to whether it will be returning again next year. That wasn’t the only event that Troy was able to coordinate, however. One of the most interesting events occurred in Con of the North’s vendor hall. A group of artists called The Long and Short of It had decided to hold a miniature painting contest at the convention and then hit upon an idea to raise money for Extra Life by holding a competition between the organizers, the titular Long and Short. They engaged in a battle all throughout the convention weekend in a no-holds-barred match of skill. As they progressed, onlookers were able to donate money for which model they thought was the best and the model that raised the most money would be declared the victor. One of the artists chose to create the many-headed dragon Tiamat from Dungeons & Dragons, complete with lighting effects customized into the figurine, while the other tackled a Warhammer 40K mech that he constructed entirely out of household recycleables and garbage. Tiamat managed to clinch the victory, but the close rivalry between the two wound up raising over $460 for the Extra Life Twin Cities Guild hospital, Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare. The Long and Short of It had such a good time competing and raising money that they plan to bring the event back with some expanded features for Con of the North 2020. The main event benefiting Extra Life at this year’s Con of the North had to be the involvement of D&D Adventurers League for the second year running. They hosted a silent auction with items they provided themselves, a prize drawing, and more. However, the epic event they hosted on the Saturday of the con proved to be one of the most interesting initiatives they undertook. Players who were participating in the epic event could purchase in-game items and rolls by donating to Extra Life. Guild president Troy Cleland was on hand to MC the prize drawing and silent auction held before the epic event. All told, D&D Adventurers League was able to raise about $1600. “This is the second year they have done this for us,” said Cleland of the amazing effort the league had brought to raising money for Extra Life, “[D&D Adventurers League] didn’t disappoint at all.” Con of the North being a gaming convention, it seemed only natural for Extra Life to bring dice to the event. Working with the local children’s hospital, the Twin Cities Extra Life Guild was able to acquire over 150 six-sided and ten-sided die to use as a means of attracting curious con-goers and also raise a bit more money for Extra Life. A $1 donation conferred a d6 while a $2 donation got the donor a d10. The D&D room also made use of the dice for their in-game purchases to raise money. By the end of the weekend, the Twin Cities Extra Life Guild had managed to pull in over $140 with dice alone. Some people came by multiple times to donate more money for more dice, gushing about how much they loved using dice for a good cause, donating more than the suggested $1 or $2. In total, the Twin Cities Extra Life Guild was able to raise around $2,350 to support the sick and injured kids at Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare while also spreading awareness in the tabletop gaming community about how people can play and help kids at the same time. Troy Cleland played a huge part in bringing it all together and deserves so much credit for forming the ongoing relationship between Con of the North and the Twin Cities Extra Life Guild. Minnesota’s conventions don’t draw the large crowds of a PAX, a Gen Con, or an E3, but there’s a lot of heart and passion in these smaller cons that can really bolster the support local hospitals experience. All it takes is the effort necessary to expose these tight-knit communities to Extra Life’s core message of compassion and play. Here’s to another Con of the North… For The Kids.

The last series of episodes ended on something of a cliffhanger, and while the full fourth set isn't quite done, at least one more episode is ready for listening! Join Naomi Lugo (Nomsooni the druid), Marcus Stewart (Scratch Mangy the ranger), and Kyle Gaddo (Barphus the bard) as they don the armor of the illustrious Dragonguard, sworn to defend and protect the realm of Alterra from the dragons at its doorstep. Jack Gardner serves as the Dungeon Master, guiding our heroes through their journey. Dispatched to the small town of Verne, the party began investigating rumors of draconic activity in the area. Learning of a kobold encampment deep within the Morrithil Wastes, they made their way into the vast swampland only to find a largely abandoned village built in the shadow of an ominous dragon skeleton. Encountering a number of old and infirm kobolds in the heart of the town, our heroes learned of an impending attack led by the vengeful dragon, Fallowfell. In an effort to convince Sir Rothurt, Verne's leader, to take the threat seriously, the party made an attempt to rescue his recently kidnapped son, Charles. Risking life and limb, they were able to save Charles only to be met with the awful revelation that Fallowfell had allies in the town itself.

With 43 days left in the Kickstarter campaign, Critical Role has raised almost $5.5 million to produce their animated special The Legend of Vox Machina. The original stretch goals for the project only went up as high as $3 million, so the team had to come up with additional goals for the campaign. To that end, Critical Role has announced that if they reach $5.75 million, they will begin animating the Briarwoods arc from Critical Role Season 1. The original Kickstarter campaign, which began earlier this week, set out to create a 22-minute animated special. However, upon reaching $3 million, that 22-minute special had grown into a four episode series, with each episode containing 22 minutes of animation. Those four episodes contain The Legend of Vox Machina, a prequel series to the main events of the first season of Critical Role. The original cast will return to reprise their roles along with a slew of recognizable voice talent to fill out the world of Exandria's colorful characters. With over a month remaining in the campaign, there's little doubt that the campaign will reach its next goal of $5.75 million (in fact, it would be shocking if it didn't make that goal in the next few days). Once the Kickstarter begins breaking new stretch goals, the team will begin work on animating two additional episodes that will make up the beginning of the Briarwoods arc. This arc centers on the events that transpired in the town of Whitestone. Percy, one of the recurring members of the Vox Machina brings the party to the village to avenge the deaths of his family at the hands of the vile Briarwoods. If you want to watch the gameplay for this arc, it begins in Episode 24 of Critical Role. Two additional stretch goals after $5.75 million will allow the team to cover the entirety of the arc with six animated episodes in addition to the four The Legend of Vox Machina episodes. On top of that, each goal will come with an additional on-shot campaign. The first will be a battle royale between guests that have appeared alongside the Vox Machina, and the second will be a game run by Ashley Johnson instead of Matt Mercer.

With 43 days left in the Kickstarter campaign, Critical Role has raised almost $5.5 million to produce their animated special The Legend of Vox Machina. The original stretch goals for the project only went up as high as $3 million, so the team had to come up with additional goals for the campaign. To that end, Critical Role has announced that if they reach $5.75 million, they will begin animating the Briarwoods arc from Critical Role Season 1. The original Kickstarter campaign, which began earlier this week, set out to create a 22-minute animated special. However, upon reaching $3 million, that 22-minute special had grown into a four episode series, with each episode containing 22 minutes of animation. Those four episodes contain The Legend of Vox Machina, a prequel series to the main events of the first season of Critical Role. The original cast will return to reprise their roles along with a slew of recognizable voice talent to fill out the world of Exandria's colorful characters. With over a month remaining in the campaign, there's little doubt that the campaign will reach its next goal of $5.75 million (in fact, it would be shocking if it didn't make that goal in the next few days). Once the Kickstarter begins breaking new stretch goals, the team will begin work on animating two additional episodes that will make up the beginning of the Briarwoods arc. This arc centers on the events that transpired in the town of Whitestone. Percy, one of the recurring members of the Vox Machina brings the party to the village to avenge the deaths of his family at the hands of the vile Briarwoods. If you want to watch the gameplay for this arc, it begins in Episode 24 of Critical Role. Two additional stretch goals after $5.75 million will allow the team to cover the entirety of the arc with six animated episodes in addition to the four The Legend of Vox Machina episodes. On top of that, each goal will come with an additional on-shot campaign. The first will be a battle royale between guests that have appeared alongside the Vox Machina, and the second will be a game run by Ashley Johnson instead of Matt Mercer. The goals for these additional rewards haven't been revealed yet. Don't forget to sign up for Extra Life to help sick and injured kids in hospitals around the US and Canada by playing games!

After years of requests from fans, the team behind the popular Dungeons & Dragons live role-playing show Critical Role has launched a crowdfunding campaign to create The Legend of Vox Machina an animated special based on the characters that starred in the first season of the show. Despite being up for less than a day, the Kickstarter campaign has already surpassed its primary goal and several stretch goals with over $2.5 million in the first day, moving closer toward making The Legend of Vox Machina a feature-length film. Critical Role began in 2015 as a collaboration between voice actor Matt Mercer and Geek & Sundry, though the series has amicably split from Geek & Sundry in the years since. The show stars a team of voice actors and actresses who gather together to play Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition while broadcasting live across the internet. The central cast of Season 1, who will reprise their roles in the upcoming animated special, consists of Matt Mercer (Dungeon Master), Ashley Johnson (Pike Trickfoot), Laura Bailey (Vex'ahlia "Vex" Vessar), Liam O'Brien (Vax 'ildan "Vax" Vessar & Lieve'tel Toluse), Marisha Ray (Keyleth of the Air Ashari), Sam Riegel (Scanlan Shorthalt & Taryon "Tary" Darrington), Taliesin Jaffe (Percival "Percy" Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III), Travis Willingham (Grog Strongjaw & Sir Bertrand Bell), and Orion Acaba (Tiberius Stormwind). Each episode consists of a full Dungeons & Dragons session, meaning that they can frequently run between 3-6 hours apiece. There have been two seasons thus far as well as many efforts across the series' history to raise money for numerous good causes, Extra Life among them! The adventure this colorful cast of voice actors has been on for the last several years has included spin-offs, partnerships with Wizards of the Coast, and even comic books. Now they've taken to Kickstarter to bring their characters to life on-screen in the animated adventure The Legend of Vox Machina. The animation for the special will be handled by Titmouse, a well-known and beloved studio in the realm of animated television. It's most recognizable works include The Venture Bros., Metalocalypse, and Big Mouth. On top of that, Critical Role has obtained the services of Jennifer Muro, the writer behind Star Wars: Forces of Destiny and Spider-Man, to pen the upcoming special. In addition to the voice actors already attached to Critical Role, additional talent that has yet to be announced will include voices from shows like Attack on Titan, Dragon Ball Z, Duck Tales, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. At the time of writing this, The Legend of Vox Machina has raised over $2.5 million from over 19,000 people to produce the animated special. Initially, the pitch was for a 22-minute special for $750,000. However, fans quickly demolished that goal. At $1 million raised, a one-shot called The Search for Grog Epilogue: The Search for Bob will be played. At $1.5 million, the length of the special doubled to 44 minutes and those who pitched in over $100 will receive a special beanie. At $2 million, fans unlocked another one-shot called Vox Machina's Summer Reunion at Dalen's Closet. At $2.5 million, the length of the special shot up to 66 minutes. If the special raises over $3 million, fans of Critical Role will unlock an 88 minute special along with a third one-shot which will see Season 1 and Season 2 characters colliding. There are still 45 days in the fundraising campaign. If you've never seen Critical Role before, you can watch all 150+ episodes of it for free over on the Critical Role YouTube channel.
