xx Dungeons & Dragons Encounters - Wednesdays @ 6:00 PM
July 15, 2010, 04:36:27 PM by Matt

The Dungeons and Dragons Encounters program is in full swing at Heroic Adventures! Stop by and play in a weekly two hour campaign supplied by Wizards of the Coast! Anyone is welcome to join in, and you don't have to worry about the process of character creation - Pre-gens are supplied and loaded with unreleased character options from the upcoming Dark Sun Campaign Setting. All you have to do is show up from 6-8 on Wednesday nights and play!

- The Dark Sun Campaign Setting is the setting used in this season(campaign) of D&D Encounters. Dark Sun is a post-apocalyptic desert setting where magic has destroyed much of the world. It has new races, new monsters, and a new spin on the whole D&D world. Encounters is the best way to explore the desert world of Athas before the campaign setting books come out in August.
- Each session begins on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m., providing a consistent two-hour session length. We do start at 6 sharp, so it's best to show up a couple minutes early.
- Pregenerated Characters so that you don't have to worry about spending hours on character creation. The pre-gen characters also showcase new options from the upcoming Dark Sun Campaign Setting.
- Renown Points are awarded to players so that if you stick with the campaign, you start to gain an edge over the monsters.
- Everyone is welcome to join in, so don't be shy about coming up to the shop to play. We're still capable of accomodating plenty of new players.
- Single encounter design of the module means that you don't have to worry as much about catching up if you miss a session.

Important links:
- The Dark Sun Play Tracker, the top download on this link: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Event.aspx?x=dnd/4new/event/rpgadownloads has a more in-depth description of the world of Athas.
- The D&D website is a good resource for anyone who plays dungeons and dragons, and is regularly updated with information about D&D Encounters. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/

If you have any further questions: Call up to the store at 618-659-0099. Your best bet would be to call Mondays or Fridays from 6 p.m. to midnight in order to reach Lucas, who is currently running the Encounters program at Heroic.

UPDATE: On July 16th, we will be starting Chapter 2 of D&D Encounters Season 2. All characters will automatically level to 2, and the campaign will continue on from the desert chase of chapter 1. If you're leery about jumping into the middle of the story, firstly; don't be, secondly; the chapter transitions would be the best time to join in!
