Previously:
- August 6, 2015: U.S. Republican Primary Debate #1
- September 16, 2015: U.S. Republican Primary Debate #2
The candidates participating in the debate are Lincoln Chafee, Hillary Clinton, Martin O'Malley, Bernie Sanders, and Jim Webb. Larry Lessig did not make the cut. CNN coverage begins at 8:30 PM EDT, the debate begins at 9 PM EDT and ends at 11 PM EDT.
Links:
The first debate is scheduled for October 13, 2015, at the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas, beginning at 9 p.m. Eastern time. It will air on CNN, and will also be broadcast on radio by Westwood One [AUDIO-only should be available online via CBS Radio]. Anderson Cooper will be the moderator of the debate, with Dana Bash and Juan Carlos Lopez asking additional questions and Don Lemon presenting questions submitted by voters via Facebook.
To be invited to the debate, a candidate must have achieved an average of at least 1% in three recognized national polls released between August 1 and October 10. In addition, a candidate must either have filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission or declare that one will be filed by October 14, the day after the debate. The latter criterion would accommodate Vice President Joe Biden if he decided to enter the presidential race as late as the day of the debate.

Should Vice President Biden decide to enter the race and take part in the debate, there would be a podium placed on the stage for him as well.

Is there a short graphic representation of their stances that can be absorbed at a glance, or would that result in "50 shades of beige"-type situation?
Maybe we can't really create one till after the debate, when we will know which candidates oppose Obama's policies wholeheartedly, and which only slightly oppose them.
I know it is too much for me to ask for politicians to define themselves in terms of "I'm this guy/gal" as opposed to "I'm not that guy/gal," when the former is so effective.

The first one has a bar chart that rates the candidates from liberal (-10) to conservative (10). Simplistic, but meets your criteria.
When you scroll down to that part, some arrows floating at the bottom of the page let you cycle, since only 3 of the 5 candidates are visible on screen (at least for me).

Drink every time:
- Hillary tries to appeal to women
- Hillary tries to relate to youth
- Gun control is mentioned
- Someone says "Fair share"
- Someone mentions the top 1%
- Someone mentions wealth/wage inequality
- Someone mentions the "middle class"
- Trump is referred to (implicitly or explicitly)
- Free stuff is suggested or promised
- "Comprehensive immigration reform" is mentioned
Hard mode - take an additional drink everytime a softball question is asked by the moderator.
