Critical Role, Dimension 20, And Other TTRPG Folks Are Role-Playing Puppies To Raise Money For Puppies
The best way to raise money for pets is to play Dungeons & Dragons as your pets
This is Bhimani's second time in the Game Master seat, having made her debut this past April in Lego Dungeons & Dragons Game Night--a one-shot adventure featuring YouTuber and cosplayer Ginny Di, actor Luis Carazo, The Lego Group design manager Jordan Scott, and Lego Ideas design winner Lucas Bolt--advertising the new $360 Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale Lego set.
"I'm just ridiculously excited and I hope that my lack of experience is made up for by my incredible enthusiasm because I couldn't be more excited to be doing this with this particular group of people and this particular partnership with Petco Love, I think it's going to be a blast, and then I'm going to crash for four days," Bhimani said.
For her sophomore effort, Bhimani is once again using the D&D 5e system, though she added that the rules will be "5e-lite," clarifying that the charity stream will not feature a lot of combat despite utilizing a combat-heavy TTRPG system. This isn't going to be a story about dogs killing each other Watership Down style and casting Fireball at one another, but instead a tale about pups living their best lives in a The Secret Life of Pets-style narrative.
"Petco Love, one of their incredible initiatives is Petco Love Lost, which is their initiative to help reunite as many lost pets with their humans as physically possible," Bhimani said. "And one of the cool things that they have is this facial recognition software so if you register your dog in their database or your cat or whatever, if you register your animal in their database and someone finds them, that facial recognition software can help them reunite with them. And so we are incorporating that into the adventure. So there may be some puppos that are having a little bit of trouble finding their way back to their people. Oh gosh, what can I tell you without spoiling it? Because I also don't want to spoil it for the players, not just for the audience. Let's just say these are going to be our dogs living their best lives, living their ren faire dreams."
The Puppy Roll will livestream on Anjali Bhimani's YouTube channel (Sweeetanj) on August 20 at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET and go until 10 PM PT / 1 AM ET. Following the livestream, the VOD will go up on Bhimani's channel, allowing folks who missed it to watch it at a later time.
