Our incredible sponsors continue to wow us with their generosity! Check out the update!
On December 28, 2018, the gaming community incurred a sad loss of a gaming friend in Jerry Stefek when he was lost to aggressive cancer. His love of the RPG hobby and friends was always evident in his words and actions. We would like to celebrate Jerry and do Good works in his name, helping others in their time of need while going through this traumatic illness!
The Jerry Stefek Memorial Crawl for the Cure returns to Gamehole Con IX in 2022! We will run a mutated, morphed, and expanded Goodman Games 2015 DCC 0-level Funnel Tournament, The Shambling Un-Dead, to raise money for the American Cancer Society (https://cancer.org); we are charged up to make a difference in crazy, Appendix-N funnel action!
As with the previous Crawl for the Cure tournament, the details are similar:
- Purchase your Jerry Stefek Memorial Crawl for the Cure commemorative token for $4 and play whenever there is an opening! And OF COURSE there is original Doug Kovacs artwork on the Memorial token for the event! (Tickets are honored but not necessary – pay at the table!)
- A RIPE and MORE BLOATED Shambling Un-Dead Tournament – it will not be the same tournament and more new content will be added!
- Of course the player with the character that survived the most encounters will be the winner of the tourney, but we’re going to open up some other fun prizes, for skill and ill!
- DUAL tables to increase the competition and chaos (and trash talk!) – a little more competition always helps in the donations!
- Use your donations to gain an advantage from the Judge or inflict woe on your opponents, wherever they may be! Use your donations to influence the game and create savage stories to share for years to come while helping those who need your dire support. Donation effects (or suggestions thereof) will be posted in the near future.
