Meltdown’s own Satine Phoenix (http://satinephoenix.net/) is Hosting a 4 table Celebrity gaming event. Each table, with up to 6 players per table, will be running the same adventure written by Celebrity Writer Keith Baker (creator of Eberron, who will also be DMing one of the 4 tables.)

The fundraising part of this event starts HERE! We’re working with Stickam.com to bring to you, wherever in the world you are, Pay Per View access to each table. With a minimum payment of $1 you can watch how one table of creatives solves this adventure. Don’t limit yourself to one group, watch all 4 tables! But that’s not all, you’ll be able to purchase the adventure as a PDF for $5 to play with your own group of gamers!

The proceeds will then be announced the following Monday (allowing all who wish to continue to donate through the weekend to do so) and presented to Reach Out and Read.

What exactly is Reach Out and Read?

Dear Los Angelinos who play D&D and/or other RPGs,

We here at DnDMelt are looking for a few good men and women to be on our team of Super Dungeon Masters. We will be running games on Thursday nights and Sunday Days. Perks for you will be *Free DnDMelt Monthly Membership! and DM swag… Amongst other things I’m wheeling and dealing for and will post about soon.

As DMs, you will be my Knights of the Round Table. I am looking for Men and Women I can rely on to show up when they say they can and be on time those days. You will not be required to DM every gaming day. I will work with whatever schedule works for you because you are my Rockstars! You are my Magic Makers. Without you we can not game.

If you are interested in DMing please email DnD@meltcomics.com with:

Name: Email: Phone #:

Preferred gaming platform:
Are you willing to work with beginning players?
Do you want to run an ongoing campaign or One Shot Adventures?
Are you ok running One shots with different players each time we run gaming sessions?
How many players can you manage at a time (max amount)

This is an ongoing search. If you aren’t a DM but know of one to ask please please do. We here at DnDMelt are changing the way people see #DnD and we want you to be a part of it. Thanks everyone and I look forward to meeting you all really soon!!
