Meltdown’s very own DnDMelt presents a unique Charity event starring “CELEBRITIES“ AND “Dungeons and Dragons“
Wish you could be there? Wish you could donate or hangout in the Peanut Gallery? Now you can! We have joined with Stickam.com to offer a Pay Per View window into each table’s adventure. The minimum donation per table is $1 but please feel free to donate more should you be so inclined. You will be able to comment from the Chat window where the Moderator will relay messages for you.
DnDMelt’s CCDD event is a Charity Fundraiser raising money for the Reach out and Read program here in Los Angeles.
Time: 1pm-6pm
4 tables of up to 6 celebrity gamers per table will be playing the same Adventure, choosing from a short list of Characters all written by Celebrity D&D Writer: Keith Baker who will be DMing one of the tables.
You can also purchase a PDF of the adventure for $5 to play from anywhere in the world with your friends.
Reach Out and Read (http://rorLosAngeles.org) is an evidence-based nonprofit organization that promotes early literacy and school readiness in pediatric exam rooms nationwide by giving new books to children and advice to parents about the importance of reading aloud. Reach Out and Read builds on the unique relationship between parents and medical providers to develop critical early reading skills in children, beginning at 6 months of age. The 3.8 million families served annually by Reach Out and Read read together more often, and their children enter kindergarten with larger vocabularies, with stronger language skills, and better prepared to succeed.

To my closest pal in the whole world and his beautiful wife “MUCHAS GRACIAS POR EL AUTOGOL CABRON!“
Really Los Angeles, after 18 yrs in business thru the triumphs and the tears — you have given me lots of both. — I love you, fear you and admire all the chances you have given my store and myself to renew, rebuild, and recharge!
If I was a writer I would polish this and have a great ending for it, but I am not. Just a fan of comic books that appreciates your continued support and business!
Your always,
Gaston D.-L.
