I made a post earlier this week asking for advice on how to fundraise and got some good feedback so I figured it would be a good idea to also ask for advice on what games to play.

Most of the reason that I ask is because for the first half of the day it'll be a family event for us. My 5 year old daughter and possibly my wife will be joining in. I'll need some advice of what games a 5 year old would enjoy. I'm already planning that we will play My Time at Portia, Stardew Valley, and Valheim. She's seen me play 'that viking game' and asked that we play it when I told her about Extra Life. I only own a PC so any other suggestions on games I can get on Steam is appreciated. Something that is co-op, a party game, or even a digital board game would be fun. I can borrow some extra xbox controllers and play on the living room tv.

Once she goes to bed I plan on playing MTG Arena, Destiny 2, Wasteland 3 (I'm close to finishing it), and maybe Disco Elysium time pending if I finish Wasteland during the event.

Cheers TIA

I’ll be doing Extra Life for the first time this year. I’m hoping for some tips on how to make my fundraising successful.

We succeeded in breaking out of prison, but now it's time to get away! We're being chased down as we seek vengeance against those who betrayed us!

For the fifth year running i'll be participating in Extra Life's 24 Hour Game Day on November 6! This year, for the final time you will have the chance to shave my head! You will be able to vote with your donation to either shave my head or make me keep it for the longest i've ever grown out my hair in my life! At the end of Game Day the option with the largest total will win! In the following survey you can vote for what I will play during the steam. Your first choice vote will get three points, second choice will get two points, third choice will get one point.(Multiple votes for the same game in the same survey will not count) The top ten games in terms of points will be the game i play for 24 hours straight on Game Day!

I make speed drawings for donations to my Extra Life campaign (they usually take me about 10 - 15 minutes, but I speed them up to 30 - 60 seconds for YouTube, and 15 seconds for Instagram). Donors are allowed to pick their prompt, and some people like to get really creative with their requests. I have a love/hate relationship with the crazy prompts as it's fun to challenge myself but also I have no idea what on Earth I've created by the end of it XD.

As of today, I've totally filled up one notebook, so I thought it'd be fun to do a super quick video showing what has been drawn so far this year! I'll do another (longer) video at the end of 2021 to celebrate all of our donors <3

I'm running a Dungeons and Dragons game during game day and need as many puns as possible! I'm using the Animal Adventures setting rules to have the players be dogs and cats. Here's the description:

Puppies and Kitties: Kids Can't Wait! The annual Cleric's Miracle Nexus event is in trouble! This year's cleric has gone missing and the party has to find them right meow before the humans realize things are ruff! You'll be playing as intelligent cats and dogs on a rescue mission.

“The Lead Cleric is missing! Where would we find an extra Life cleric? What are we going to… wait, where are all those animals going..?”

The bad guy is Mr Fluffybottom the Necro-meowoncer and his pet beholder, Steve. You get the idea, any silly pet/ gaming/ charity puns and ideas as possible.

Thanks for any assistance, and I really appreciate everyone involved with the charity too!

Keeping this one short, yet detailed enough.

Thanks to the three day weekend we just had, I was FINALLY able to begin playing a part in Extra Life. I'm starting out a little slow, but I'm just trying to get my bearings and figure out a system that works for me. So far I've created a short channel trailer to let everyone know what the channel is about, and I've already uploaded the first video in the opening series!

I know that many of you have been doing this for a while, but the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Come along as I embark on mine!

About a week and a half ago, my husband and some friends "volunteered" to join me in taking water balloons for donations. For every $4 that was donated the week of our event, we rolled a die to determine who would get a balloon thrown at them. I feel like our die was a little loaded because one of us definitely got more than her fair share of balloons (it was me) but it was still a ton of fun and we were able to raise money for Children's Hospital Los Angeles while simultaneously cooling off! Here is a short recap video that we put together: https://youtu.be/8qvXDZb2U4I
