Crit to the Max Day 3: no saving throw required

Hi! My name is Ashley McCarthy. I'm the Director of Supportive Services at Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership. I'm also a giant nerd. So naturally, I'm passionate about two things: housing as a human right and Dungeons & Dragons. Which is how we ended up with Crit to the Max, my personal Give to the Max Day fundraiser. 

Welcome to year three: Crit to the Max Day 3 – No Saving Throw Required!

In D&D, a saving throw is a mechanic used when your character is in danger. Succeed, and you escape the danger (or at least some of it). Fail, and you're stuck dealing with the consequences. It makes for interesting gameplay, dramatic moments, and some truly glorious storytelling.

But it shouldn't be how real life works.

Access to safe, stable housing shouldn't depend on a lucky roll. People shouldn't have to pass impossible skill checks, overcome endless obstacles, or roll a nat 20 just to have somewhere safe to sleep. Unfortunately, for far too many people, finding and keeping housing can feel exactly like that.

That's where Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership (SWMHP) comes in. We work to create and preserve affordable housing, provide supportive services, and help people overcome the barriers that stand between them and a safe, stable place to call home. Because housing shouldn't be about luck or chance. It's a human right.

Going with Crit to the Max Day tradition, anyone who donates will receive a custom D20 as a thank you. This year's design features a path leading to an open door, representing something that should be simple but too often isn't: safe, accessible housing. And of course, it's on the 20 face, because opening doors to safe housing is always a critical success.

Join our party. Help us open doors. No saving throw required.
