Hello all! Thank you ALL for your support for The Jerry Stefek Memorial Crawl for the Cure: Ethermeet 2025! We had 19 hours of RPG entertainment in 6 expert sessions with the best game Judges and players around!

We thank our sponsor companies, donors, Judges, players for all your efforts to raise this money for those in need!
We then left the donations open and asked if anyone could please add to our donations so we could help those in need to our help! Our donors put in over $250 more into Tiltify on Monday to answer that call – you all are AMAZING! I thank you for your incredible generosity during this trying time – you are all HEROES! We are proud of all YOU have accomplished for those in need! THANK YOU!
To cover the 5% Tiltify fee on your donations, we have put in additional money to cover this and made our grand total for the event is $4,286! An INCREDIBLE amount from INCREDIBLE donors! I cannot say enough how much joy we receive from seeing your works aid those in need. This brings your total impact over the past 6 years to $36,081.95 – AMAZING!

Also, Aaron Koelman, DCC superfan, man of iron faith and will, man of supreme kindness and wisdom, who succumbed to his long battle with pancreatic cancer in 2023. And, alas, a friend of our supporters, Matt Bowen, has also been unfairly taken in the last year. We ask for you to help us prevent these tragedies. ALL proceeds from this event, as always, will be donated to further cancer research and patient assistance through the American Cancer Society.
Any donation of $4 or more will be entered in a drawing for great prizes every hour featuring our awesome sponsors! Please visit our sponsor site as it is updated for the latest updates!

Thank you all for you all for your support of the Jerry Stefek Memorial Crawl for the Cure: Gamehole Con 2024 Dark Tower event! We had to wait for a big donation to get through the red tape, however, we have obtained it and the check is on its way to the American Cancer Society! (See pictures below.) All, in all, we have a revised total of $4,167, which raises our total impact with ACS to $23,579.95 for the past 5 years! Thank you donors and sponsors for enabling us to give this aid to those in need!
I did want to make a very special call out to Bob Brinkman, who I failed to thank in my event wrap-up and I was mortified! (The post has been amended!) Bob took the time under a tight schedule to craft the stats for Jennell Jaquays favorite alter ego, Thanatar the Just, a red wyrm disguising herself as a human wizard to interact with the world of men! Thanatar was an advisor and aid during the Dark Tower adventure, and even a warrior in the final battle versus the evil lich Pnessutt in the Dark Tower.
Thank you, Bob for contributing this slice of awesome! We will be posting this content for everyone to use in their home games! Stay tuned for its release, we’d love to have this material in your hands to have the spirit of Jennell within your games!
And don’t forget! The second week of December means the Jerry Stefek Memorial Crawl for the Cure: Ethermeet! Please join us on Twitch Channel DCC Mayhem for 18 hours of your favorite systems spiced up with suggestions from your donations: DCC, MCC, Castles & Crusades, Umerica Survival Guide, Weird Frontiers and a heaping helping of Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland for dessert! It will be EPIC, and we’d love to see you there! We’ll be wrapping up the festivities with our own brand of late-night horror with Luau Lou and Brian Shutter with a double feature starting with Insanti Claws and the Final Admission Theater and Half-Price Oyster Bar!
Join us for the fun and donate to help others that need of your support through the American Cancer Society! Happy Holidays!
Hello all! A brave cadre of crawl heroes played throughout the day on October 19th, 2024 to pit their heroic neophytes against the vastly superior forces of the dark god Set, and emerged victorious through their pluck and donations to the noble cause! Through their donations in-game and in raffles (of awesome arts – plushie and drawn!), we have a current total of $4,040 to give to the American Cancer Society! That is a full $1,000 more than last year’s totals minus our $2,000 angel donation; that is incredible! Additionally, That puts our Jerry Stefek Memorial Crawl for the Cure’s 5 years of charity events over our $20K mark, to a revised total of $23,579.95! Thank you to all who contributed so generously to the cause! You can see our wrap up blog post here!
71 players (and some first-timers through our Golden Ticket trial characters!) ran through the DCC OAR release of Dark Tower with their 0-level crawlers, taking on this high-level adventure with their cleverness and moxy, uncovering Mitra’s Lions avatars to battle for the cause, while using the power of their donations to move the story and skirmishes forward! The players were able to recover the pieces of the sacred Lion of Mitra statue and defeat the malevolent lich Pnessutt and his Sons of Set minions to cleanse the defiled Dark and White Towers of Set’s overreaching evil!
This force of heroes has enabled the American Cancer Society to perform their vital research and education, helping to prevent the disease and aid those afflicted in their time of need. THANK YOU, heroes, for giving your treasure to make this possible!
We do have a few things to wrap up for the event, so please read over the following:
We are wrapping up on items being awarded – thank you sponsors providing your awesome works! Check out the tournament prizes awarded!
We do have an issue with the Jennell Jaquays/Thanatar original artwork that we raffled off; the winner never collected it! We want to get this into the winner’s hands, however they did not leave any contact information on the raffle ticket. If you did participate in the Thanatar raffle and still have your tickets, the winner number was: Green Ticket 326202 If you are the winner and can send us a picture of the ticket, we’d love to get this awarded to you. Please contact us at jerryscrawlforthecure@gmail.com. Thank you!
Finally, we need to emphasize our policy on sending physical rewards post-convention. We posted it this year, but it wasn’t as visible as we would have wanted, so we’ll reiterate it here for future events, as well as display it prominently:
We cannot send out physical rewards after the convention, shipping is costly these days, and we cannot continue the process.
You can pick up your physical rewards: 1) During the event throughout the day, 2) At the end of the event – we wrap up at 8 PM, 3) In the Atrium on Sunday from 12:00 PM until 2:30 PM.
For this round, we’re going to send the items to donors; we’ll have them pay us for shipping if they’d like to still receive them, however, we will foot the shipping cost for this year and add the collected total to this year’s donations giving an extra boost for the American Cancer Society.
In the future, uncollected physical items will be reserved for the next year’s event.
Please note this policy for future events. We want to get you your rewards for your generous donations, but the post-Con mailing is too much of a burden in time and treasure! Thank you for your continued consideration in this matter!
Finally, we wanted to thank the incredible people involved with making Crawl for the Cure Gamehole: Dark Tower possible:
Our incredible Sponsors! The amount of generosity our sponsors give us to award you for your donations is staggering.

Thank you for making things awesome, Jim!
Peter Garancis – Peter created the beautiful Pillar of Strength, to visually display and celebrate those loved ones lost to cancer and the strength of those who have survived! Thank you, Peter, for this wonderful reminder of the effect of cancer in our lives!

Bob Brinkman – For creating the stats for Thanatar, the favorite character of Jennell Jaquays, a red wyrm transforming herself into a human wizard to walk the realms of man. Thanatar was instrumental as an NPC who provided guidance in the Dark Tower and assisted in the end game! Stay tuned for the Crawl for the Cure to present this awesome content to you for your games from this website!
Thank you, Ray Teresi, for helping us with the Crawl Operations!
Finally, the Crawl for the Cure would not exist if it were not for Steve Seminerio and my wonderful wife Hazel Welch, spending many hours under me as task master! THANK YOU – it was a very crazy preparation time for Dark Tower this year, and the Crawl for the Cure would never have made it (nor would it any other year!) without their above and beyond, dedicated help for the event! THANK YOU!
I want to express my love and gratitude to everyone involved: sponsors, players, Judges and support staff! We continue to make this world a better place every year, and I am deeply in your debt!

An optional, small donation to the event would be much appreciated to place ribbons in your loved ones’ honor upon the pillar, but not necessary. We love to celebrate and honor those affected and bring hope to others who are in need! Bring those warm memories!
Mike Badolato’s donated collection of Judge’s Guild commons will be returning to Gamehole for anybody who’d like to own a piece of history! Peruse and take home some old school today!

Claim victories for reaching the room before other teams! (Starting rooms are randomized!)

Cory Welch and Staff The Jerry Stefek Memorial Crawl for the Cure
The Jerry Stefek Crawl for the Cure and its incredible judges are bringing back another Legendary dungeon delve, the DCC Original Adventures Reincarnated release of Dark Tower by Jennell Jaquays and Bob Brinkman at Gamehole Con 11! All the Mega-funnel you’ve come to expect from the Jerry Stefek Memorial Crawl for the Cure, raffle support by the best RPG creators in the industry and ALL monies collected will go to the American Cancer Society (https://cancer.org)! We return after three previous Gamehole Con events times in the past, and last year we raised an incredible $5,000, and we should break $20,000 in total collected over our 5-year history with this event! We ask for your help to make the Dark Tower event another record fund-raising year and join us for this milestone occurrence!
In an age long past, the malicious god of evil, Set, sprang forth his Dark Tower before the White Tower of Mitra to assault and irradicate the forces of good contained there. The resulting battle of evil and divine unleashed horrific magic that brought the mountains crashing down on both towers, sealing them in darkness and fading behind the veil of time.
The faithful of Mitra, have been chosen to cleanse the lost temples of the taint of Set’s evil and return Mitra back to strength through the White Tower! Join us for our next “Mega-funnel” where common 0-level characters dare to delve the overwhelming deep with their guile, objects of power found within, playable avatars of past heroes and even aid from the celestial allies of Mitra! The dark powers arrayed before you, your donations and concurrent players at the table increase your power through boons of fate and Mitra! The more players engaged by joining one of the three parties questing on the oversized 12×12 map of the towers, the more advantage you will gain in your conflict with the dark forces of Set.
Purchase a ticket for the event and join us whenever you have time for this very special event for the American Cancer Society! (Link in comments below.) You will receive a Memorial Token for the event to present to play throughout the day! Your donations will enable the American Cancer Society to directly benefit cancer patients and those affected by their suffering.
Our incredible sponsors provide hourly donation raffle prizes of their works to our players, their incredible offerings award you for your generosity to the ACS. We look forward to bringing more hours of adventure and beauty at the Dark Tower event! Visit the site for updates!
Purchasing a ticket for this event will not affect your schedule at Gamehole Con. You can play whenever you have time and there is an opening in the questing parties! Memorial Tokens for play will also be available at the Crawl for the Cure Event Registration Table in the Atrium for play and raffles; bring friends and join the quest!
Come witness the “towers of meat” containing your replenishment of brave 0-levels in your quest for good, gold and glory! (Courtesy of https://purplesorcerer.com!) Take your place in cleansing the darkness of the towers for the return of the Light! We’ll see you there!
– 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!

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!
Hello all! I am sorry for the delay in wrapping up The Jerry Stefek Memorial Crawl for the Cure: Ethermeet 2023 this year.

All rewards except the Memorial Tokens (I’m working on getting that awesome artwork!) have been sent out to our legendary donors! Below is the message sent to our sponsors and donors – we made an incredible $3,291 over our 20-hour session jam, and had an incredible time of wonderful entertainment during the course of the event. I will follow up with the wrap up, but this was a sincere thank you to our awesome community for their efforts and treasure for the cause!
Hi all! The Jerry Srefek Memorial Crawl for the Cure: Ethermeet stream came to a close last night at 3 AM CST, and we have a current (and AWESOME) total of $3,291 to give to the American Cancer Society for their great works!
I went into a long hibernation yesterday and we’ll continue our work getting everything together over the next few days to get you the full results! We will be trying to automate our processes a bit (writing some scripts for crunching data) and getting your winnings together in e-mails confirming any prizes won during the event with you in the upcoming days. We’re still working on getting the artwork on the Memorial Token, and we’ll also get that together for you as soon as possible! In the meantime, you can find everything you have won from your awesome donations at: https://crawlforthecure.net/wpcftc/?page_id=1541 You can Search or Sort on the HOURLY RAFFLES SCHEDULE table to find all your winnings! We’ll tally up the contribution totals soon and get the major prize winners their prizes as well. Thanks for your patience as we move this forward!
