Animethon and The Resplendent Cave have teamed up to bring you a Dungeons and Dragons mega-game event, which will see 24 players collaboratively explore and clear a dungeon together.

All you need to bring is a pencil and some dice! Pre-generated character sheets will be provided.
About the Adventure:
The isolated town of Humberstone is well-known for its rich mineral deposits and friendly people. The majority of the town is employed in the nearby Red Quill Mines, run by two Dwarven brothers, Hodgson and Dodgson Quill. The mine was recently thrown into disarray as tremors collapsed several shafts, poisonous gas filled the tunnels and strange, corrupted rock was dug up from deep below. Miners are now missing, and rescuers who entered the mine have disappeared. You and your party are residents of Humberstone or have loved ones who live and work here. Driven by a need to save your friends and family, your group will enter the mines to uncover the source of these dangerous incidents.
