Let's Roll a Nat 20 to Beat Cancer!
the programme for day 3 of the Andrea's Adventurers charity stream, starting November 9 at 8.30 am pacific time 8.30 am pacific - welcome, opening, territory acknowledgement, info 9:00 AM PST | D&D 5e | GM Owen Infiltrate Lord Flay’s grand melee in the Kingdom of K’chen to represent your sponsor, The Lord Ram‑Say. Duel challengers, manage a food truck mid-battle, and vie for the esteemed Mich’s Star and elusive Child’s Knife—symbols of your culinary and combat prowess 1:00 PM PST | Oops! All Divas | GM James You play larger than life personas: musicians, actors, visionaries, and so forth. When that multi-platinum artist says she's going to boil the oceans, people take the threat as credible, and within her power. What happens when these (sometimes literal) titans of industry need to band together to face a threat previously unseen in the industry? It's certain at least one of them is gonna be in the tabloids tomorrow.... 5:00 PM PST | D&D 5e | GM Pixie A tear filled plea from a heartbroken child can soften even the most hardened of adventurers. That's why you're out in these familiar woods past midnight on an eerie, full-moon night calling out for little lost "Fluffy". It's quick good deed which will leave you plenty of time to have a hot mug of strong mulled wine together at the pub before bed - or it should, but as a tinkling laughter echoes out from the darkness, and a thick sweet scent fills the air, it's quickly becoming apparent that all is not quite right in the forest tonight. 9:00 PM PST | THANK YOU! Join us as we wrap up the weekend and check our final fundraising total - stream and auction! There will be tears.

the programme for day 1 of the Andrea's Adventurers charity stream, starting November 7 at 4.30 pm pacific time 4.30 pm pacific - welcome, opening, territory acknowledgement, info 5:00 PM PST | Business Wizards | GM Kat Humanoid Resources has assembled a team that’s good on paper - the Innovator, the Dynamo, the Cutthroat, and the Manager - but will they be able to meet this week’s corporate targets? Or will their 360 Review with CEO Glinta end up with one or more Bizards being “restructured”? Only the dice will tell! 9:00 PM PST | Ironsworn | GM En Winter's edge gnaws at the edges of your stead. The White Wyvern has returned - not yet seen clearly, but its shadow drags through the snowy mountains in the north. The War Chieftan's call in Haven gathers every able soul: find food, find hope, or perish. Your small party has been sent ahead as scouts to secure something before the rival warbands strip the land bare. You must survive the frost, the hunger and one another.
