D&D Live 2020: Roll w/ Advantage in Support of Red Nose Day Campaign

London, United Kingdom - June 22, 2020 – D&D Live 2020: Roll w/ Advantage was about coming together and committing to make the change that is needed in our world. Wizards of the Coast announced last Friday during D&D Live 2020 that they would match donations and purchases from fans up to $250,000 to support Red Nose Day in helping the most vulnerable children around the world stay safe, healthy and educated. 

D&D Live 2020: Roll w/ Advantage featured big personalities playing elves, wizards and fighters to accomplish quests helping those in need using their imaginations. Highlights of the programming include the Red Nose Day Table broadcast with Chris Perkins DMing for Martin Starr, Felicia Day, Brett Gelman and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. The VOD for that game is available on the D&D YouTube channel

Red Nose Day funds a cross-section of programs that address children's needs with funds going where the need is the greatest. Every bit helps: $5 can provide a child in need with remote homework help and mentoring, $5 can provide a nutritious breakfast and lunch for a child who usually relies on school for food and $15 can provide a precious book to stem learning loss for an out-of-school child in need. Consider donating even a small amount to have a large impact and you'll have your donation matched by Wizards of the Coast.

Fans of D&D got some tangible rewards for their donations to Red Nose Day! By donating $10 or more to Red Nose Day, fans registering through the D&D Live Event Portal gained access to unique gameplay experiences including online D&D Adventurer's League sessions. Through the end of this month, fans can also purchase event apparel and a custom-designed adventure that families can easily play together. All proceeds from D&D Live 2020: Roll w/Advantage will benefit Red Nose Day.

On Thursday, Deborah Ann Woll led a group of actors including Amy Acker, Jay Ellis, Janina Gavankar, Matthew Lillard and Sam Richardson, in improvising a way to help people in a fantasy world not that different from ours. The day closed out with Reality RP, a streaming show that combines reality TV show rules with Dungeons & Dragons, social media, and fan interaction.

On Friday fans could watch the BlackAF Sidetable panel hosted by Omega Jones with Tanya DePass, Aabria Iyengar, TK Johnson, WWE Superstar Ember Moon, and B. Dave Walters discussing their experiences. "Comedians Play D&D" brought funny people - Brian Posehn, Sue Perkins, Kevin Sussman, Melissa Villasenor, Reggie Watts and Thomas Middleditch - together to solve problems or, more likely, cause some hilarious new ones.  

On Saturday June 20, fans tuned into D&D's Cast of Thrones Game that reunited Game of Thrones actors including Kristian Nairn, Daniel Portman, Iwan Rheon, Natalia Tena and Gemma Whelan in a riveting game led by Wizards of the Coast's very own Kate Welch as DM. Following that game WWE ® Superstars Xavier Woods ®, Tyler Breeze ®, Ember Moon ®, Alexa Bliss ® and Dio Maddin ® contended with beefcake destroyer Jeremy Crawford, a.k.a. Principal Rules Designer for D&D. And principal D&D writer Chris Perkins took players new to D&D, including Brandon Routh, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff and David Harbour, through adventures sure to demystify the hobby for all who tuned in.

D&D Live 2020: Roll w/Advantage was streaming on YouTube and Twitch, and the entire schedule and information can be found at https://dnd.wizards.com/dndlive2020.
