Friday, August 16
4:30 pm | Welcome! with Andrea & Blair
Kick off the weekend with our opening ceremonies. We’ll do a territory acknowledgement, share some background behind Andrea’s Adventurers, and chat about ways you can help out.
5:00 pm | D&D5e with GM Shane
Chefs, grab you battle aprons and unsheathe your cooking swords! The forests hold dangerous yet delicious beasts and plants. An empty stage calls to those who seek to impress with performance. The heat is on in the kitchen! There are nobles to sweet talk. Indeed, there is a station for anyone in this adventure, and we got a town to save!
9:00 pm | Lasers & Feelings with GM Tim
YOU ARE THE CREW OF THE INTERSTELLAR SCOUT SHIP RAPTOR. Your mission is to explore uncharted regions of space, deal with aliens both friendly and deadly, and defend the Consortium worlds against space dangers. CAPTAIN DARCY has been overcome by the strange psychic entity known as Something Else, leaving you to fend for yourselves while he recovers in a medical pod.
Saturday, August 17
8:30 am | Day 2 Welcome! with Andrea & Blair
Tune in with your morning brew (tea, coffee, or witchy) as we kick off day 2 of Andrea’s Adventurers!
9:00 am | Goblin Quest with GM Alex
Play five goblins each (in sequence, not parallel) and watch them meet hilarious ends while failing to achieve the most basic tasks. Will they survive the dangerous world of the Great Battle Camp and avoid the attentions of brutal orcs, murderous bugbears, mean-spirited hobgoblins, and scary wizards? Probably not. But you’ll have fun finding out!
1:00 pm | Ryuutama with GM Hoshi
In a world of adventurers, this story focuses on a small group of everyday people that never answered the call to adventure. On the day of a grand festival, a chasm opens up beneath them, trapping them deep underground. With the aid of a mysterious person who claims to have been trapped for centuries, our unexpected heroes will have to make their way back to the surface.
5:00 pm | Adventure Skeletons with GM StoryDad
Mostly a rag tag band of skeletons you will get a very brief introduction to life as a skeleton followed by a task given by your undead master to go and… GET MORE BONES! Just beyond the hillside that your unhallowed tomb lies in, there is a village that you will pillage for MORE BONES! Now… what’s a bone to a skeleton? Do you have the skeleton lore to find repositories of quality calcium? Or perhaps you’re a simple bonehead who pilfers chair legs, barrel rib cages, and local pets to serve as your bone horde!
9:00 pm | XCC with GM Matthew
This week’s Xcrawl is THE STANLEY PARK SEAWALL SLAUGHTER created by Vancouver’s own, DJ OGREBEEF.
XCrawlers will need to traverse a thick coniferous forest, rocky shoreline, and crowded docks, fighting and solving puzzles along the way in order to reach DJ Ogrebeef and receive their prize. This week’s team is Andrea’s Adventurers, a local Division Three team looking to make their big break in this exclusive PPV event. Will they win gold, glory, and fame? Or be crushed under the weight of death and failure? Only time will tell!
Sunday, August 18
8:30 am | Day 3 Welcome! with Andrea & Blair
Last day to raise funds! Join us for another full day of streaming and storytelling.
9:00 am | Pigeon’s Eleven with GM Kat
In a world where birds talk, drive, and work without humans thinking twice about it, this crew has come together for the score of their lives. They’ve gotten wind of the ultimate cereal bar that will be part of the Girl Guides’ Night at the Royal BC Museum gathering. Of course, it’s just a coincidence that the world’s oldest hockey stick is part of the adjacent exhibit.
1:00 pm | Avatar Legends with GM Jojo
Earth, water, fire, air. Only the Avatar can master all four elements, and bring balance to the world. But even if you don’t have access to the ancient lineage of the Avatar, you still have the power to change the balance of it all. If you could be a Bender, what would you be? We’ve all wondered it–now witness it!
5:00 pm | D&D5e with GM Drew
The dungeon brothers are the top name in dungeon and evil lair clearing and refurbishment. From elder dragons to elder gods, there’s scarcely a bad guy around that hasn’t used their services. But this week they’re encountering their greatest challenge yet. A misfit group of monsters with a grudge! Can the dungeon brothers come out on top, or will this flip become a flop? Tune in to find out!
9:00 pm | Thank you with Andrea & Blair
Join us as we wrap up the weekend and check our final fundraising total–stream and auction! There will be tears.
