2024-2026

Launching DnD 2.0    (September 2024):
The Syndicate added DnD campaigns to our guild offerings 5 years ago with the leadership of Monk and ChuWii. We have now run a single campaign for 5 years with many groups all adventuring in the same world towards the same end goal but in their own semi-unique ways. Each year around SyndCon, that season's campaign culminates in a large event where the groups converge and defeat the 'boss' of that season to advance the plot to the next one. At the end of Season 5, we looked across our dozens of members engaged in DnD and updated our approach. We launched DnD 2.0. Within that framework we now support many different games such as Star Trek and Star Wars. We also support multiple different DnD campaigns from 'flash' campaigns lasting only a few weeks, to long term campaigns that will last years. Using our Discord server we built a model that can support many differnet play styles and even allows us to bring in guests (i.e. non-members) to those campaigns so we can maximize the fun that our members are having while growing our friendships that are the core of what makes us successful.

Boys & Girls Club 2024    (September 2024):
Annually we support the Boys and Girls club and the awesome work that they do for kids in need. The services they offer and the mentoring they provide is second to none and has a clear and positive impact on the communities that they serve. Often our donation is what funds the annual fundraising dinner where the remainder of the funds are raised to keep the center open for the year. One could say that without our donation, many of the other donations would never happen and thus the center would be in danger of closing. It is truly our honor to be able to raise money to support such a worthy cause. We could not do it without the support of game developers and gaming PC hardware makers who donate prizes that create the raffle that creates the donation to support B&G. We could not do it without awesome Syndicate members who believe in the cause and thus participate in the raffle in an effort to make a difference to the lives of those kids in need. Thank you to everyone who makes this happen and to the B&G clucb for the blood, sweat and tears that you put into your mission.
