Dear friends,
I’ll make this quick! I can’t believe I forgot to mention this, because it’s huge!
Carlos and I will be playing Dungeons and Dragons—live!—for charity!—at the historic Klein Memorial Auditorium in Bridgeport, Connecticut on Thursday, May 25th, 6-9 PM. Tickets are only $5—and you can get virtual tickets too, if you live on the other side of the country, the world, or just want to stay in your PJs on a Thursday night.
The Patch did a great article about it, but this gist is: every year, academic, author, musician, and regular Twitch streamer on his own ArvanEleron channel, Gregory A. Wilson runs “ArvCon.” Arvon is, in the words of the Damon Runyon Foundation for Cancer Research itself is:
“..a weekend featuring multiple tabletop roleplaying game sessions, a concert, giveaways, and other surprises, benefiting the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation. Damon Runyon’s award programs are targeted to have the greatest impact on cancer research, providing critical early career support to researchers pursuing work with a high potential to impact all types of cancer. Damon Runyon’s mission is to foster new generations of elite scientists and fill gaps in traditional research funding that threaten future breakthroughs.a week-long charity to benefit cancer research.”
This year, part of Greg’s ArvCon will be our D&D game at the Klein! It’s the first time in all of human history that the Klein has hosted a D&D event, but we’re hoping it won’t be the last!
Our adventuring party will include: Carlos Hernandez (writer, professor, game designer), Zac Clay (voice actor, educator, professional DM), Robert Austin James (voice actor, audio/video editor, singer/songwriter), myself (YOURS TRULY, C. S. E. COONEY!!!!) and a specially selected special guest High School Student from Connecticut!
