Telethon
So, TV3 is bringing back the telethon.
Short version: 20-21 June 2009, aim to raise $2mil for KidsCan.
I never really saw the original Telethons - I remember collection events being held in the boarding house when I was in early secondary-school - but there are some youtube clips here
http://nz.youtube.com/results?search_query=telethon+nz
A largely cynical part of my nature is screaming 'media stunt', but there's also a part of my brain sparking away like crazy with the idea of organising or co-ordinating a game-athon for the event.
[Poll #1256858]
- distributed gameathon - don't necessarily need a centralised venue as long as organised beforehand
- gold coin per player per game (GM free pass?)
- regular games could pledge & pass the cup during the previous week/month - don't need to participate on the day
- per-game pledges: $x per registered game
- ~3 weeks out from BoD - excellent opportunity to playtest (double motivation for writing a scenario for BoD)
- do I just want yet another project / the opportunity/motivation to develop a web-based portal for something like this?
