Think you got what it takes to save the animals?
Join us to break our world record of 440.5 hours on this fiendish adventure to save Eltural’s animal conservatory from doom and fire! An adventure that takes place before the events of Baldur's Gate 3.
Play as one of five characters, and play the game in tag-team format picking up where the last player left off with the same character!
How does it work?
The game is split up into 4-hour blocks of time that players and Dungeon Masters can choose when to play according to their availability. These session blocks are 4 hours long and will be non-stop play from beginning to end. Don't worry. No one will be expected to play the whole time or even the majority of the game! Every 2 hours there is a 20 minute break and either the Dungeon Master or the players will hand-off to the next DM or set of players.
Minimum commitment to join is to be able to play one 4-hour session a week- 3 sessions total at minimum! You can absolutely sign up to play more, but with some limitations to prevent burnout and to share the game fairly with others. Players also can play across multiple characters if so desired- even being able to hop in mid-game if a spot is left open and empty while playing!
Scheduling is very flexible with times available literally 24/7 for 19 days for you to choose from to play. You also can easily move your days around if things come up, and others can take your spot if you are unable to attend.
How is the game ran?
The game will run on Foundry and be streamed on Twitch thus a PC with a graphics card, headset, microphone, mouse, decent internet, and keyboard are necessary to play the game.
The game will be streamed onto Twitch, and the viewers can impact the game directly by being able to give support such as with magic items, inspiration, and buffs as well as potentially impede and hurt the party with random chaotic events.
Which Charity is this for?
A Twitch charity stream hosted and organized by Paladin’s Archives supporting the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). They are a wonderful charity that help many animals. CHECK THEM OUT.
