Safe In Our World and The Multiplayer Group Invite Gamers to Take Part in Halloween-Themed D&D One-Shot for Press Pause 2024 Fundraiser
Gather your friends for an eerie, 80’s inspired D&D one-shot to raise funds for Press Pause 2024, an annual fundraiser that encourages gamers to press pause on life by pressing play in game. This year, Safe In Our World is dipping its toes into table-top role-playing by publishing a guide for a free, handwritten D&D adventure: The Gatekeeper. “The Gatekeeper sees players take on the role of a team of ghost hunters hired by the manager of the Press Pause arcade to banish a terrifying ghost that has driven away all the customers,” explains The Gatekeeper co-writer Bridie Daniels. “Explore the derelict building, uncover the secrets of its haunted arcade machines, and keep an eye out for The Gatekeeper – a lost spirit determined to protect its high scores!” Players are encouraged to set up their very own fundraisers on Tiltify and gather their friends between October 25th and November 3rd for private games or live-streamed playthroughs of The Gatekeeper. Find out more about how to get involved by watching this handy video from Content & Community Manager, Rosie Taylor. Safe In Our World will be supporting fundraising efforts by rewarding players who raise over £100 in funds with custom L’Emporium du Bizarre D&D dice shakers. Over the course of the fundraiser, Safe In Our World will be holding a giveaway for a Legion Go handheld gaming console, generously donated by the Legion Gaming Community. The charity also welcomes players to share their D&D characters with them on social media and on the official Safe In Our World Discord ahead of their playthroughs. “We really want to make a point that anybody can set up a Tiltify and enjoy the one-shot we have crafted. The Gatekeeper was designed as an entry-level adventure that can easily be built on or customised by more familiar players,” commented Sky Tunley-Stainton, The Gatekeeper co-writer and Partnerships & Training Manager at Safe In Our World. “This includes first-time players, brand-new D&D groups, or even groups of colleagues. We’d love to see our industry peers setup company fundraisers to support the campaign!” Safe In Our World will be hosting its very own live playthrough of The Gatekeeper on November 2nd, which will air live on the Safe In Our World Twitch channel. And, while the charity is excited to see its adventure brought to life, the D&D one-shot isn’t the only way to raise funds for Press Pause. Participants are welcome to get creative and come up with their own fundraising ideas, from game-a-thons to marathons! Those who would prefer to donate rather than setting up their own fundraisers can do so directly to Safe In Our World here. For more information on Safe In Our World, visit safeinourworld.org.
