Streaming tabletop roleplaying games, and Dungeons & Dragons in particular, has become quite popular in the recent years. To promote this emerging way of experiencing their game further, Wizards of the Coast organized a two-day long event called the Stream of Annihilation. It will take place in Seattle on June 2nd and 3rd, and will be livestreamed on the official D&D Twitch channel. Stream of Annihilation's 12 hour long sessions will be starting at 10am PST on both June 2nd and 3rd.
The event will mostly contain a great number of prominent Twitch streamers playing D&D. But apart from that we can expect to learn all about the next Dungeons & Dragons storyline coming in September, get some details on WotC's plans to expand their D&D Twitch programming, and more. Here's Greg Tito, the Dungeons & Dragons Communications Manager previewing the Stream of Annihilation on the Dungeon Life YouTube channel:

There will be multiple live games, interviews, new product unveils and improvised hilarity each day, starting at 10am PT and ending at 10pm each night.
