Hello all! An update for The Jerry Stefek Memorial Crawl for the Cure at Gamehole Con 11, October 19th, 2024, 10 AM – 8 PM! We will be running the Goodman Games Original Adventures Reincarnated version of Jennell Jaquays’ legendary adventure, Dark Tower, as a “mega-funnel”. 0-level characters will be pitted against the full-octane adventure to fight to survive with their wits, luck and donations to the worthy cause of the American Cancer Society. ALL collected donations will, as always, be given to the American Cancer Society for research and assistance benefiting those and their loved ones in the hold of this terrifying disease.
The story will unfold on a 12’ x 12’ massive map of the Towers and dungeon, and it is HUGE. You will not want to miss this call to Adventure! Get your ticket to pick up your memorial token for the event at the link below! Can’t purchase a ticket online or unsure of your schedule? Not a problem! Place your $10 donation at the Crawl for the Cure Atrium registration table and receive your token to play!

More fun things to announce, which create delays in communication, but it is SO worth it; SO MANY GREAT THINGS TO COME!

- We have a quest for you! Keep an eye out for mysterious envelopes at Gamehole containing your free Memorial Token and your soul link to a Mitriatic Hero to ramp up your 0-level immediately! Already have a token? Give one to a friend (and keep the Avatar)! We’ll have the envelopes placed randomly Thursday and Friday, and we’ll let you know when you should hunt!
- We have handsome CRAWL HERO badge ribbons to display your support for the Crawl for the Cure! Also, 2 lucky players per hour have a chance for SQUIRE and KNIGHT ribbons with awesome ACS magnetic pins on them that really draw the eye and has game effects!
- Bridget Traut has donated 3 AWESOME Owlbear plushies for raffle! Open to all Con attendees, take these sweet little beasties home to adore!
- Nate Marcel has created an awesome original artwork of Jennell Jaquays as her favorite character transforming from wizard to dragon, AND he has also done his rendition of Aaron Koelman’s alter ego, Akaerrian Keenblade! (See the teasers) The special raffles are open to all Con attendees, so tell your friends! Details link below!
- We will be displaying memorials for our lost friends and fighting survivors this year: those who have passed this year in our community, “Adventurers’ Rest”, and Peter Garancis has created a stunning “The Pillar of Strength” honoring those we have lost to cancer and those loved ones who have survived! 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!
- Your play is enhanced by the number of people playing at one time and collected pieces of the sacred Lion of Mitra Statue scattered through the dungeon and Towers! The more you collect, the more bonuses you will receive! Additionally, our sponsors have put special prizes in the dungeon for roll-off to the team that accesses them in the dungeon! Claim victories for reaching the room before other teams! (Starting rooms are randomized!)
- An update, Doug Kovacs’ portrait of Aaron Koelman’s Akaerrian Keenblade persona will still be coming, but Doug is a busy man! We wil get you updates on the awesome artwork as it proceeds!
We hope you’ll join the cause and help us smite cancer! Watch the website for updates as the event comes closer! Thank you for your support!
Thank you!
