STAR TREK Actors To Livestream a Game of Dungeons & Dragons For a Good Cause
As we reported yesterday, Star Trek actors are coming together to fight pancreatic cancer. As you read about in that article, PanCAN’s PurpleStride will be taking place on April 27th and will feature many Star Trek actors. On top of that Star Trek actors are coming together to support pancreatic cancer research outside of the PurpleStride.
To raise money for The Pablove Foundation, Star Trek actors will be playing Dungeons & Dragons’ “Legends of Eleanora.” Todd Stashwich, known for playing Captain Liam Shaw in Star Trek: Picard, is the Dungeon Master. Jonathan Frakes, Deborah Ann Woll, Michelle Hurd, and Wil Wheaton will be the players. You may notice that one of these players, Deborah Anne Woll, is not from Star Trek. She is best known for her work in Daredevil, however she is also a massive TTRPG fan and is a perfect fit for this group. On top of these players, one lucky Star Trek fan has won a seat at the table for over $7,000 in an auction on Charitybuzz. Though that is a large amount of cash, all the money raised is going to charity.
Though you’ve lost the chance to win a seat at the table you can still watch the livestream. The livestream will take place on Wednesday, April 20, at 8 pm eastern time on Twitch.
Aster is a fresh face to Daily Star Trek News, joining the ranks as a contributing writer. Though he may be young, he self-describes as a hardcore nerd, lover of cheese sticks and niche internet discourse. Outside of his long-time obsession with Star Trek, Aster is an avid cosplayer, crocheter, and Catan enthusiast who is attending school for technical theater and design. He's very excited to debut in his "professional nerd career" and finally put all his obscure nerd facts to good use.
