But for those of you who didn&#8217;t make it, let me sum up.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, the RPG association I&#8217;m president of does a 24-hour Livestreamed RPG marathon for as long as you guys pay us to. Damn fine people play damn fine games from sunrise to sunset with only the comment stream to keep us company. All the proceeds go to Child&#8217;s Play, and we&#8217;ve hooked it up so you can send your donations simply and directly this year. Frankly, I&#8217;m jazzed.<\/p>\n<p>The official schedule will be posted soon, so keep an eye out for that, but here&#8217;s some of the glory you can expect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We&#8217;re kicking off with a game of Hobospy, <a href=\"http:\/\/deadsalesmangames.blogspot.com\/p\/hobospy.html\">the dark comedy RPG designed and produced by yours truly<\/a><\/li>\n<li>A game of <a href=\"http:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/TabletopGame\/Paranoia\">Paranoia<\/a> run by me, the master of mindscrewery!<\/li>\n<li>Can five players survive Tomb of Horrors? Almost certainly not!<\/li>\n<li>An <strong>exclusive<\/strong>, officially sanctioned live beta test of Evil Hat&#8217;s awesome magnum opus,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.evilhat.com\/home\/fate\/\"> Fate Core<\/a>!<\/li>\n<li>Can Rutskarn and company stand that bad sci-fi novel come to life, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.invisiblewar.com\/immortal\/index2.html\">Immortal<\/a>? The number of walls I punched trying to figure out the first chapter is a nonzero number.<\/li>\n<li>Audience-participation game of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bullypulpitgames.com\/games\/fiasco\/\">Fiasco<\/a>, which I&#8217;ve unofficially dubbed the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coen_brothers\">Coen Brothers RPG<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The return of your favorite cast members, like <a href=\"http:\/\/forthechildrenandstuff.tumblr.com\/cast\">Wolfnord, Kiltbeard, Troy, Sam, Arturo the Bear, and many more!<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Seriously, folks, this oughtta be great. As long as we&#8217;re funded, we&#8217;ll be rolling until midnight Friday. Spread the word&#8211;this isn&#8217;t just a great opportunity to help kids and have fun, it&#8217;s a great way to show people a.) what roleplaying games are, and b.) that they&#8217;re a riot to play. Ever try to describe what an RPG is like to someone who&#8217;s never seen one before? Trust me, this is easier.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/forthechildrenandstuff.tumblr.com\/\">See you all there!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Oh yeah, we&#8217;ve got an embedded stream now.
