We are excited to announce our collaboration with Todd Stashwick for the Boom Boom the Tavernkeep Charity Familiar! Releasing on October 16th at 9 am Pacific, all net proceeds for the first week of Boom Boom sales will be donated to Extra Life!

Boom Boom the Tavernkeep

As soon as Todd Stashwick was approached about making a charity familiar for Idle Champions he knew who he wanted to make. In real life, Boom Boom had a name before the Stashwicks even adopted him. Knowing one day they would get a new dog, they started referring to their future pet as Boom Boom. Now, Boom Boom comes to Idle Champions as a barkeep who doesn't have time for problems in his tavern! For those unfamiliar with Todd Stashwick, he is known for his numerous acting roles and star power, as well as several D&D charity games. Fans of the Black Dice Society will recognize him as Rudolph van Richten towards the end of the series.

Together our goal is to raise money for Extra Life, which is a fundraising program of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®. Help them continue their efforts this year by purchasing Boom Boom and by visiting their site right now!

Boom Boom the Tavernkeep Familiar will be available in-game starting on Monday, October 16th, 2023 at 9 am Pacific! Afterward, all net proceeds from the first week of Boom Boom sales will be donated to Extra Life.

But That's Not All!

Psyche the Amethyst Pseudodragon

“It always depends; Semper dependet!”

It was a joy to get to work with Doctor B for this charity familiar.

He also co-hosts for Champions of Psychology on our Twitch Channel. Doctor B doesn't just enjoy playing Dungeons & Dragons - he's an expert in the applied use of tabletop role-playing games in clinical and learning settings! Tabletop games mean a lot to him, and his love for them and Idle Champions shines through in Psyche the Amethyst Pseudodragon.

Misty the Will-O'-Wisp Familiar

We worked with costume designer and performing artist Alicia Marie to bring Misty the Will-O'-Wisp to Idle Champions.

Alicia is a creative artist who crafts spectacular costumes and cosplays for countless characters. There is a very good chance you have seen her work already! She can also be seen on a variety of liveplay TTRPG shows - in fact, Idle Champions players may recognize Alicia from Champions of the Realm, where she played the Dwarven Cleric Barrowin Undurr.

When creating Misty the Will-O'-Wisp Familiar, Alicia was inspired by Misty Copeland, a celebrated dancer with the prestigious American Ballet Theatre. Misty became the first African American woman to be promoted to principal dancer at the ABT, the most prominent position a dancer can receive in a ballet company.

The Misty the Will-O'-Wisp familiar will raise money for the BIPOC Support Foundation, an organization committed toempowering the lives and communities of Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color, providing equitable resources for mentorship and economic support, and evolving educational opportunities for all individuals, regardless of class, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, or ability/disability status.

Scotty the Rescue Pup Familiar

For the fifth year in a row, we're thrilled to be working with Take This on a charity fundraiser! Take This is a mental health organization providing comprehensive resources, support, and consultation tailored for the unique and diverse needs of the game community.

The inspiration for this new charity familiar comes directly from the real-life pup and his human companion Kelli Butler, a professional opera singer and active streamer for a variety of video games and tabletop RPGs. On stage, she's a coloratura soprano with an extensive performance resume. On streams, she's best known as The Opera Geek and appears on a variety of shows and charity events. We're excited to be working with her, and thrilled that she will be joining the cast of A Familiar Quest: Series 2 as Scotty, starting September 12th!

It gives you some extra in-game goodies, it provides funds and support for Lambert House, and it gives us a warm fuzzy feeling in our tummies.)
