Extra Life: Board Games and RPGs for Charity

By Leave a Comment

Calling Oklahoma tabletop and board gamers! Join us for our sixth annual Extra Life fundraising event. For 24 hours we play board games, card games, tabletop and role playing games (with food, giveaways and tournaments in the mix) to raise money for Oklahoma kids in need.

Over the past five years we’ve raised over $15,000 for the Oklahoma City Children’s Hospital Foundation. This year, we’re hoping to raise an additional $7,000! All funds stay in Oklahoma to serve children in all 77 counties.

Event is free to attend! Some games have entry fee. All proceeds go to the hospital!

DDAL Epic

Calling all adventurers! Are you ready to face the forces of Thay in a showdown for the fate of Mulmaster? The Magocracy of Thay, ruled by the Lich Szazz Tam, offered assistance to Mulmaster in her time of need after the destruction wrought by the Cults of Elemental Evil. However, as of late, the Factions of Faerun have been calling for intervention, fearing that the Thay will completely take the city for its own. Expect high adventure and lots of undead!

This Dungeons & Dragons Epic is open to D&D Adventurers League characters levels 1-20 and takes place Saturday evening of the con.

Please register ASAP to guarantee a seat. The event itself is free but SoonerCon 27 membership is required to participate in the D&D Epic. Learn more and register: www.soonercon.com/gaming/dnd-epic-event/

Oklahoma City Gamers Come Together for Extra Life

By Leave a Comment

If you’re a gamer you’ve probably heard the name Extra Life, and I’m not talking about a 1-up in Super Mario. Extra Life is a Children’s Miracle Network charity that makes it easy for gamers of all types to raise money for their local children’s hospitals.

With the motto, “Play Games. Heal Kids.” Extra Life allows gamers to set up their own fundraising page, select their local hospital, set a goal and then take it from there. The challenge is to play games for 24 hours while raising funds through the site.

In 2014, a small group of Oklahoma City Dungeons & Dragons Adventurers League members got together for their own Extra Life fundraiser at Game HQ. Started by Anthony Caroselli, they played D&D and other tabletop games for 24 hours with a meager goal of $200 for the Children’s Hospital Foundation. They ended up raising $643 that weekend and thought, “this could be bigger.”

Gamers Enjoyed Tabletop, VR, Nerf Wars and More at SoonerCon 26

By Leave a Comment

Gamers are recovering this week from another successful SoonerCon. The 26th year of this convention took place June 23 – 25 at the Reed Conference Center in Midwest City.

SoonerCon is an annual grassroots pop culture convention that focuses on local artists, authors, sci-fi and fantasy fan groups, cosplay and gaming. Gaming at the convention is mostly tabletop focused with a few retro video game consoles presented by the Oklahoma Retro Gaming Society, Oculus virtual reality and PC gaming presented by Microsoft and Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator provided by Raphael “Bubba” Dean Wilson.

The convention also offers outdoor games such as Nerf wars, Muggle Quidditch, live-action role plays, stick horse jousting and Hungry Hungry Humans (a life-sized Hungry Hungry Hippos game). All sales of Nerf guns and ammo went to the charity NAMI Oklahoma to improve mental health services.

Nerf Wars at SoonerCon

SoonerCon attendees had the opportunity to purchase Nerf guns for the outdoor Nerf events. All proceeds benefited NAMI Oklahoma.
