When I saw this tweet:



I wondered what this #ExtraLife was about. And this is what I've found.

Members of the Dungeons & Dragons team and guests of Wizards of the Coast are going to run the second annual D&D game marathon as part of Extra Life on October 25 – 26. Extra Life is a gaming event that raises funds for Children's Miracle Network hospitals. Thousands of children are treated each year in these hospitals, regardless of their families' abilities to pay. These kids face much scarier threats than dragons and beholders.

Starting at 8 AM (Pacific) on Saturday, October 25th, the team will livestream its participation on the D&D Twitch TV channel. The Dungeon Master, Greg Bilsland, will run a rotating group of players through Hoard of the Dragon Queen for 24 hours using the fifth edition D&D rules set. The game will conclude at 8 AM on Sunday, November 3.

To support the team’s charity efforts, Wizards of the Coast will be unlocking early previews of the Dungeon Master’s Guide based on the team’s total donations. As the total climbs, Wizards of the Coast will release the following awesome stuff:

$25,000—Deck of Many Things
$30,000—Figurines of Wondrous Power
$35,000—A selection of magic rings.
$40,000—Eye of Vecna, Hand of Vecna and the Orb of Dragonkind
$45,000—Fire arms, explosives, and alien technology
$50,000—Table of Contents

They have already hit the $25,000 mark and here's the first DMG preview – the Deck of Many Things:

    Unbelievable and warm!

    They've managed to get more than $50 000 for kids at Children’s Miracle Network hospitals. Thanks to all those kind people who participated.

    As a small prise, now we know the Table of Content of the future Dungeon Master’s Guide:
