Hacked Kinect: Interactive 3D Puppets »

Keith Baker a designer of the Eberron setting from D&D Satine Phoenix, connie and Zak Smith from from I Hit It With My Axe, Dan Milano from Cartoon Network’s Robot Chicken and John Zurr Platten who is the writer of the The Chronicles of Riddick games and a load more all met at Meltdown Comics in downtown Los Angeles and played Dungeons and Dragons to raise money for charity.

There were a lot of great artists and photographers who also played and not only that but they documented the event and created representations of the events of the story in each of the games. Wizards of the Coast were happy to supply a load of 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons materials. Food as also provided by Mars Hot Dogs, Jersey Mikes in West Hollywood and Shipyard Beer.

This event was trying to encourage attendees to donate to the JVS Literacy Network, which is a charity established to help and support people who are down on luck. The charity was founded in 1931 and helped comeback the Great Depression. JVS help the long-termed unemployed, people with disabilities, refugees and at-risk youth to get skills they need to help get a job. All the proceeds from this event went towards this charity including any sales of photographs and artwork. Wasn’t this a great idea? I love events like these which help donate towards charities!
