Sep 26 - Oct 7, 2025
Power Word: Meal! is bringing the TTRPG community together to fight hunger worldwide—and StartPlaying is proud to be part of it. We’re teaming up with DnD Shorts and the United Nations World Food Programme’s ShareTheMeal initiative for a global charity event starting September 26th. Influencers like Deborah Ann Woll, Anjali Bhimani, Dungeon Dudes, Ginny Di, Pointy Hat, and more will be promoting and helping raise funds and support! On StartPlaying, you can make a direct impact: GMs: Run charity games, 100% of fees and profits go to ShareTheMeal. We’re waiving our fees so every dollar raised supports families in need. Players: Book and play in charity games. Your fun at the table helps feed children and families affected by war and famine. To double the impact, StartPlaying is matching donations up to $2,000. 👉 Join a game, run a game, or donate directly: https://sharethemeal.org/en-us/challenges/45128bdd-3377-538d-9aa2-1d4b0eb156c5 No child should go hungry.
