Every year, D8 Summit Charities invites industry insiders together to share in our shared passion for games and community. These three splendid professionals will be attending the 2025 D8 Summit Charity Convention. Look to meet them, bring copies of their games to have signed, and even get a spot their games!

Claire Hoffman

A veteran Admin of several Organized Play programs, Claire currently oversees the DDAL Dungeoncraft program, and acts as convention liaison. She had the privilege of working on the Masque of the Red Death published by White Wolf books for D&D 3.5 and contributed to Waterdeep Dungeon of the Mad Mage for Wizards of the Coast. Some of the many adventures she has written can be found on the DMsGuild. Dragons and cats romp about in her Ohio home. Claire will be running a few D&D games of her own, as well as donating charitable epics for the players to enjoy (and a few special D&D certs).

Don Coffin

Don has been rolling dice since the AD&D days, drawn by the 'infinite diversity in infinite combinations' that RPGs offer. With his head in Arkham and his heart in Lankhmar (thanks, Appendix N!), He loves creating character-driven stories that blend humor, surprising twists, and just enough realism to ground the weirdness. He especially likes running TinyD6 games at the D8 Summit Charity Convention, since the system's simplicity means less time learning rules and more time playing. "Let’s make something weird together!"

Don has authored several TTRPG adventures for D8 Summit Charity Gaming Convention over the years, and he has written a new one for you to enjoy!
