D&D4dogs
A Dungeons & Dragons Charity Weekend
Saturday, September 15, 2018 & Sunday, September 16, 2018
Welcome to the biggest D&D event in Paradox history. We’re running an entire weekend of role playing to benefit our friends at the all-volunteer, nonprofit 4 luv of Dog Rescue. You’ll be heroes in the game and in real life!
Beginning Saturday morning, we’re hosting 5 D&D sessions over the weekend including a special Reclamation of Phlan Epic, Fai Chen’s Fantastical Faire, and some surprises along the way. Players may preregister on this page using our PayPal link. DMs can contact us directly to get involved. There is a lot of information to take in so please read this page thoroughly and use the contact info provided for questions or to volunteer.
D&D Sessions and Preregistration:
Here you will find the full schedule for the weekend. You can use the PayPal link provided with each session to preregister. You will sign up for the time you want and will be assigned a table as the event draws closer. We will work hard to make sure everyone plays at the type of table they want, be it Adventurer’s League, games from DMs with their own content, or beginner tables. This will simply take time as we get registrations and DMs. Please be patient during this process but trust us. We will post as much information as possible prior to the event so you know as much as possible about where and what you are playing. You will receive emails and be directed to our Facebook group and we will post as much information as we can.
Your entry fee is primarily a donation to 4 Luv of Dog Rescue. This is a local animal rescue vital to the care these puppies need. Their mission is to find the right home for each and every dog that comes into their care. Their mission is from the heart and this weekend is dedicated to doing what we can for them. Every table you play on will result in a $50 donation in the name of that table’s Dungeon Master. Extra funds from tables will go towards both operating this event as well as prizes to be awarded during the weekend. Prizes and operation cost will all vary depending on final attendance so stay tuned for more details to come.

Dungeon Masters:
Groups: we absolutely will accomodate any combination of players you want. If your entire D&D group wants to come play together, you got it. Or if you want to make sure and play with your friend, you got it. Once you individually register just please email: paradox@paradoxcnc.com with the names you want to play with it and it shall be done. You can also let us know if you want to play at an Adventurer’s League table, a home brew table, and / or what your group is playing. This is your event and we want it to be as awesome as possible!
The key to this weekend is that we need Dungeon Masters to run every table. You are the backbone to all of it. The donations and games hinge on your involvement.
In total, we have 48 sessions that need a DM. We already have some volunteers and some of you will do more than one session. Meaning we aren’t looking for 48 different DMs, just a great group of dedicated souls ready, willing, and able to be our biggest heroes.
Your reward is that all donations will be made in your name. We will donate $50 to 4 Luv of Dog Rescue for each session you run. You could be responsible for up to $250 in much needed money. Without you, we can’t get this done.
In addition, Paradox will make sure you have snacks and drinks all weekend and we will offer you a reward exclusive to DMs. This offer will come via email or in person.
As for material you can run or expect to be asked to run, here is our guideline. First, we will choose a series of past AL adventures to run. Where possible, we will have a DM run multiple consecutive sessions building on where they start. Second, you may bring your own adventures from home. We ask these to be appropriate content for any aged player and to be reasonable and not too crazy. And finally, we need 8 DMs to help run our Epic at 7PM on Saturday night.
We will work with DMs by email and by a special Facebook group as the day draws near. You will know one week in advance what you are running and when. You will have all materials you need to run your tables. Just like with players, please be patient. We need to see how many are registering, we need to see how many DMs we have, and we need to get that all put together. This will take time and we ask you to trust and work with us through the process.
To volunteer as a DM and for more information, please email: paradox@paradoxcnc.com or call 701.239.9505

What great cause stirs your heart? What would you do to meet it? When there is a need, heroes arise. This is the call of Dungeons & Dragons. This is the summon to adventure. When the cause is just, when the purpose is noble, the greatest heroes arise. Will you heed the call and take this cause as your own? Stay tuned for more details, preregister soon as seating is limited, and be ready for more exciting elements of our D&D4Dogs weekend to be revealed.
We ask everyone who understands how important and fun this event is to take the time to share this event. Use your social media, your email contacts, and your own voice to tell your friends, family, and coworkers why you’re involved. You can play and donate, but you can also recruit to the cause. It only takes a moment of your time to help more dogs find homes.
