Dungeons & Dragons loves the amazing video streams produced by our fans. This community-generated live-play highlights what’s fantastic about D&D—sitting down together with your friends to tell a grand story!

To celebrate, we’ve invited a bunch of D&D streamers and luminaries to Seattle, Washington to hang out and roll some dice on June 2nd and 3rd! This two-day event is called the Stream of Annihilation and it’s two full days of streaming that D&D fans won’t want to miss. We’ll have folks from Misscliks, Maze Arcana, Critical Role, and Dice, Camera, Action! with Chris Perkins, not to mention international gaming groups like Yogscast's HighRollers (U.K.) and Dragon Friends (Australia).

Programming

Kicking off at 10am on both June 2nd and 3rd, hosts Anna Prosser Robinson and Kelly Link will talk to the Wizards of the Coast D&D team and learn all about our next exciting storyline coming in September. Then each group of streamers will play or share a sample of what to expect from the campaigns they’ll be running over the summer that preview the new D&D story. There will be multiple live games, interviews, new product unveils and improvised hilarity each day, starting at 10am PT and ending at 10pm each night. You’ll get introduced to the High Rollers crew delving into uncharted territory DMed by Mark Hulmes, a new Misscliks show investigating rumors called Risen, two weekly groups from our friends Satine Phoenix and Ruty Rutenberg at Maze Arcana, a new group of L.A. actors called Girls Guts Glory, and more!

Throughout the Stream of Annihilation, we’ll drop details on our expanded D&D Twitch programming, new accessories fans have been clamoring for coming later this year, and amazing board games and products from our partners. You’ll hear from Cryptic Studios about plans for Neverwinter, Curse Media for D&D Beyond, as well as WizKids, Gale Force 9, Fantasy Grounds, Roll20, and more. Plus, like any Dungeon Master worth their salt, we have a few exciting surprises to pull from our bags of holding!

About the Group: Acquisitions Incorporated: The "C" Team

Acquisitions Incorporated: The "C" Team is the latest expansion of Penny Arcade's "Acquisitions Inc" comedy-tabletop franchise. Led by 9th level CEO Omin Dran (Jerry Holkins), these trusty adventurers are ready to climb the corporate ladder by facing the most terrifying and awe-inspiring sights of the Forgotten Realms. Streaming live on the Hyper RPG Twitch channel every Thursday at 3:30pm PDT.

Jerry Holkins is less a person and more a scuffed bin heaped with personas. He is also known as Tycho Brahe of Penny Arcade and PAX, for example. He is sometimes called Jerriford K. Horkims, but only by himself. In a Dungeons & Dragons context, he is probably best known as Omin Dran, CEO of Acquisitions Incorporated and as the DM for Acquisitions Inc: The "C" Team.

Amy Falcone hails from a tiny fishing village in the Northeast that’s been frozen in time for 250 years. Somehow even in this supremely rustic environment she developed a taste for far off worlds, magic, and adventure… but she settled for just moving to the booming Emerald City to pursue a career in UX Design. When she’s not moonlighting as an illustrator, playing in one of her two weekly D&D campaigns, or being sucked into whatever video game they’ve ported to the Switch this week, she mostly enjoys nature walks with her shiba inu Haku. One time she was on a reality show. Amy can be found playing the shapeshifting Wood Elf Druid, Walnut Dankgrass in Acquisitions Inc: The “C” Team.

Kate Welch is a user experience designer for video games, currently at Amazon Game Studios. She's worked previously for ArenaNet, Double Fine, and The Oatmeal, and has been a UI artist on several WWE games, somehow. Her previous D&D character was Magsys Destinaxe, a hot-headed young female dwarf barbarian with a destiny... for axes. As one of the core members of Acquisitions Inc: The “C” Team, Kate plays the fiery Lightfoot Halfling Monk, Rosie Beestinger.

Kris Straub is a cartoonist, writer, and humorist behind the comics Chainsawsuit, Broodhollow and Starslip. He is a frequent Penny Arcade collaborator, responsible for the Acquisitions Incorporated animated intros at PAX. Kris' short horror story "Candle Cove" was adapted for TV in 2016 as the first season of SyFy's Channel Zero. Kris also appears weekly on Acquisitions Inc: The "C" Team as the Drow Warlock, K’thriss Drow’b, and co-hosts the Australian gaming podcast 28 Plays Later with Paul Verhoeven.

Ryan Hartman lives a convoluted double life of competing interests and intrigue as both Donaar Blit’zen, the self-absorbed Dragonborn nobility on Acquisitions Inc: The “C” Team by day, and as Event Director for the international gaming conventions known as PAX … also by day. He does a lot of stuff during the day.
