Dungeons & Dragons Stream of Annihilation

Streaming tabletop roleplaying games, and Dungeons & Dragons in particular, has become quite popular in the recent years. To promote this emerging way of experiencing their game further, Wizards of the Coast organized a two-day long event called the Stream of Annihilation. It will take place in Seattle on June 2nd and 3rd, and will be livestreamed on the official D&D Twitch channel. Stream of Annihilation’s 12 hour long sessions will be starting at 10am PST on both June 2nd and 3rd.

The event will mostly contain a great number of prominent Twitch streamers playing D&D. But apart from that we can expect to learn all about the next Dungeons & Dragons storyline coming in September, get some details on WotC’s plans to expand their D&D Twitch programming, and more. Here’s Greg Tito, the Dungeons & Dragons Communications Manager previewing the Stream of Annihilation on the Dungeon Life YouTube channel:

And here are some additional details:

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 Acquisitions Incorporated: The “C” Team, 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.
