Last year, several friends of mine had a marathon gaming session for charity. In the words of one of the key members:
"Auntie Paladin is a marathon gaming event put on by the RPG club at UCI. We play tabletop roleplaying games for a period of time based on incremental donation amounts made on our behalf to the Child's Play charity. The entire event is Streamed live on the internet, and we make sure to try and interact with our viewers between games of all sorts. Last year was our first run at it, and it was met with serious sucess, wherein we raised over $5,500, and played for 112 hours continuously."
This year they are doing it again, and I will likely participate, so I thought I'd spread the news.
The website, which will soon be updated, can be found here:
