As is tradition, you all will be able to affect the livestream by donating to our campaign, which the entirety of the proceeds will go to benefiting Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego, CA. Below are some of the ways that you can influence the live tabletop game and community building competition:
These will only be active during the community building competition portion of our livestream.
On top of all of this fun, we will also have donation milestones that once hit, will force us to do fun and wacky activities. We plan on including more options the further along we get, but we will need your help getting us that far. We have lots of exciting activities planned such as a dinosaur lightsaber battle, a sing-along, and we even rented a dunk tank for some higher level milestones if we exceed our goals!

As we prepare for our upcoming 2023 24-hour Extra Life Livestream, we wanted to give you all a chance to participate in the process!
Have you ever wanted us to play a specific character in our tabletop campaign? Now is your chance to design one! We are inviting you all to create and submit a custom character that one of our developers will play on the live broadcast via this form before Thursday, October 26, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. Pacific. As an added bonus to seeing your character played by one of our employees, participants who have their character selected will be granted Alpha Two access to the forum account of their choice!
Once the deadline has passed, we will review all of the submissions and select six of the coolest, funniest, and best characters for our team members to play during the 24-hour Extra Life Livestream. If you hit some writer's block or need some help getting started, please feel free to check out the below example for some inspiration!
Example Character
- Character name: Borun Stoutbarrel
- Character race: Dünir
- Alignment: Chaotic evil
- Core stats (In order from best to worst): Charisma, Wisdom, Intellect, Strength, Dexterity, Constitution
- Quick backstory: Tavern keeper's aide - A tavern custodian possessed by an evil Lovecraftian god, he is hellbent on making sure patrons slip and fall in the restrooms.
- Character quirks: He LOVES creating messes and nothing makes him angrier than seeing a Tulnar dance.
We look forward to seeing all the amazing characters you create, and we can’t wait to play as some of them in our upcoming 24-hour Extra Life Livestream.
