Prepare to embark on a 12-hour odyssey of dice rolling, health potion chugging, and monster slaying as tabletop gamers unite this weekend to support a noble cause. The "Tabletop for CHOP" event, set to take place on Sunday, November 3rd, is a livestreamed fundraiser that will benefit the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) through the Extra Life charity.
Unlock Exciting Gameplay Experiences by Donating to a Worthy Cause
Immerse Yourself in the World of Dungeons and Dragons
Dungeons and Dragons enthusiasts will be at the forefront of this charitable event, showcasing their skills and creativity in a series of livestreamed games. But the fun doesn't stop there – donors can actively participate in shaping the gameplay experience. For a mere $2 donation, you can compel the Dungeon Master to don a fake mustache, lei, or party hat, adding a touch of whimsy to the proceedings. If you're feeling particularly generous, a $50 contribution will grant a player a large health potion, potentially turning the tide of battle. And for the deep-pocketed gamers, a $500 donation will allow you to take over as Dungeon Master for 30 seconds, putting your own unique spin on the adventure.Reach Donation Milestones to Unlock Special Additions
The excitement doesn't end there. As the fundraiser progresses, specific donation milestones will unlock special additions to the game. For instance, once $3,250 is raised, the Dungeon Master will face the ultimate challenge – a pie to the face, broadcasted live for all to see. These unique gameplay elements not only add an element of surprise and entertainment but also serve as tangible reminders of the generosity and support from the gaming community.Gather at the Epicenter of Tabletop Gaming
The tabletop games will be hosted at The Days of Knights game store in Newark, Delaware, where the Vanguard Guild, a group of dedicated Dungeon Masters and players, will be running the Dungeons and Dragons sessions. This centralized location ensures that the event will be a hub of activity, with gamers from near and far converging to support the cause.Surpassing Fundraising Goals with Overwhelming Support
The organizers of "Tabletop for CHOP" have already seen an impressive outpouring of support, with the group having raised $5,000 thus far. Inspired by this success, the team has now set their sights even higher, increasing the fundraising goal to a remarkable $10,000. This ambitious target reflects the unwavering commitment of the gaming community to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the children at CHOP.Tune in to the Livestream for a Captivating Spectacle
