– First, an apology. Cory took some time for some personal and professional tasks and commitments after Ethermeet, and this wrap-up of the event is terribly late. I hope you can forgive me for taking this time, as there were some things that needed to be handled over the period. All rewards minus the Memorial Token should have been met by this time, and you will set your eyes upon that little beauty VERY soon! Thank you for your understanding, and I sincerely apologize for needing the extended time to take care of these tasks.
On Saturday, December 9th, 2023, six Judges of incredible merit ran games from 7 AM CST until 3 AM CST with amazing players in the best roleplaying systems around to dazzle and entertain our most revered patrons which enabled us to earn $3,291 for the American Cancer Society! Our 16 generous sponsors gave our donors 20 hours worth of prizes and major prizes to our top donors! Everyone came together on December 9th to give aid to those fighting this harrowing disease! See your impact with The Jerry Stefek Memorial Crawl for the Cure over the last 4 years of adventure and heroic contribution, Crawlers! We should breach $20,000 at our next event! THANK YOU, ALL, FOR YOUR TREMENDOUS SUPPORT!
Thank you, Judges for your exciting hours of adventure to collect for the cause!

Thank you for giving your time and talents for the cause, and a special thank you to our “late show” participants, Luau Lou Hoefer and Brian Shutter for running into the wee hours of the morning Eastern Time Sunday to keep those donations flowing! Your commitment to the cause is immensely appreciated and bolstered our cause into the night!
Please visit the sites of all of our sponsors and support their superior collections of adventure products! You will not be disappointed!
All the prizes for your generosity should have been mostly completed before the 1st of the year, with a mistaken delayed send fixed recently and the upcoming release of Dandyline’s Unnatural Selections, Vol. 2 product coming soon! Our sponsors brought it to Ethermeet with the awesome products and donors should be wading goblin deep in adventure and excitement through their works!
We have completed the design of The Jerry Stefek Memorial Crawl for the Cure 2023: Ethermeet Memorial Token featuring a jaw-dropping XCrawl Classics creation by Doug Kovacs. We are very pleased to present it to you now:
These are on order, and we will get these to you as soon as possible so you can use yours for your Luck or stunning marker token!
“Crawling for the prize, TOGETHER!”
BUT WAIT, THERE IS MORE! We have more to come in the year to come before Gamehole Con! I’m going to put together some Sponsor Delves showcasing the products of our incredible donors. Also, I will not fail in getting more of the past Ethermeet sessions back on to Twitch and YouTube! With 20 hours of play this year, I can’t guarantee I’ll get through all the past three years by the next Crawl, but I will attempt this Mighty Deed if I can.
We hope to have an incredible announcement for our community in the near future relating to the Crawl for the Cure, and we will be working this year for another awesome event at Gamehole Con XI!
We are so proud of this generous community that has come together for the cause! Thank you for enabling all of us to make a difference for those in need!
