In honor of our friend Mike Litchford, his gaming group is putting on a game day to raise money for his family. Mike was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer this past April. We thought we would have several months with him to roll lots of d20s and share more time with our friend, but his treatment was unable to slow the cancer down. He was lost to us in July. There are others who miss him even more than we do though - his wife Ariana, 4-year old son Moses, and 1-year old daughter Zoe. All funds collected for event entries and raffles will go to the family's fund.
Events
12pm
Blood under Absalom - Register on the Armored Gopher event listing by leaving a comment. The first 28 players will be guaranteed a seat. Alternates will be seated at 12:30 for sign-ups who haven't arrived at the event.
6:30pm
Midnight Mauler - This special Pathfinder Society module can only be run by Venture-Captains and 4-star GMs. We are lucky enough to have one willing to run this special event for Pathfinder Society characters level 1-7. A silent auction will be held all day with the six highest bidders at 6:15pm getting a seat at the table.
The Distractions of Dakeyrus - The dwarven wizard Dakeyrus is known for his occasional jaunts away from his cliff-face lair to witness the end of a multiverse, but it seems that he has actually gone missing for quite a while this time. One of his rivals by the name of Antinnia has begun offering uncountable treasure to any adventurer willing to raid Dakeyrus's lair. Being an adventurer who never passes on an opportunity, you have found a few compatriots to take on the challenge. Be careful though, because you aren't the only ones trying to earn a fast one. Bring a 12th level Pathfinder character, created using the Pathfinder Society character creation rules plus 100,000gp in magic items and other equipment. In fact, bring multiple. $1 entry fee per character with prizes. Players will be rotated as PCs meet their untimely demise so there will be multiple chances to play.
Raffles
Tickets will be available for $1 each, 6 for $5, and 25 for $20. You'll be able to put your tickets towards whichever prizes you would prefer to win. The drawing will be at 10:30pm, and you do not have to be present to win. We are still adding to the prize list, so be sure to check out the event page at Armored Gopher for the latest information.
Food & Drink
We will be selling pizza slices to satiate your gamer hunger, so be sure to come hungry. The Armored Gopher also sells drinks and snacks in case you need something and want to stay on site.

That is really awesome of you guys to do that. Mike would be proud. Although there is no way I could attend, I will purchase some raffle tickets to help the cause.
We're checking on the details of a raffle across state lines. It may not be possible to do that, but I'll post here when we get it figured out.
Thanks,
Mike

The raffle prizes are stacking up quickly! Here's what we have so far:
- Signed print of the D&D "Red Box" cover art from Larry Elmore
- Pathfinder Inner Sea World Guide autographed by the Paizo staff
- $100 gift certificate from DriveThruRPG
- Autographed books from R.A. Salvatore
- First printing of RIFTS from Palladium with signatures of the original team
- Something from Gina Torres aka Zoe from Firefly
It looks like we CAN do online raffle sales, but we need to get more interest before we're able to undertake the effort to make it happen (setting up payment system, tracking payments, identifying entries, and handling shipping costs of prizes). If you would like to buy tickets, feel free to leave a comment here, too.
