D&D Encounters, the new weekly gaming program for D&D 4th Edition, begins on Thursday, March 18th at Rogues Gallery!
The game sessions will begin at 7 PM, and last until they are finished, which will be no later than 9 PM but could only be an hour or so, depending on how fast play goes.
The program is set up in three month long “seasons” made up of 12 weekly play sessions. Players are encouraged to come out every week for a regular game, but we also welcome new players who want to try the game out or just watch, or folks who want to drop in and out of the game as time permits. In addition to the fun of the game, players will earn “renown points” during the adventure that will earn them in-game awards for their characters.
The first adventure, Halaster’s Lost Apprentice, takes place in the Forgotten Realms dungeon of Undermountain, and is for 6 1st level characters.
Pregenerated characters are available (a half-elf ranger, drow warlock, githzerai monk, tiefling psion, half-elf cleric and human paladin) or players are welcome to bring their own characters. Characters should be built only with races and classes that have a full write-up (such as the ones in the Player’s Handbook series), and characters cannot start with magic items (though consumables are allowed). Other than that, there are no hard and fast guidelines to character creation, although as always, the Dungeon Master will have the final say.
We will have room for 6 players, and a backup DM will be available if attendance is big enough to support two groups of 5-6 players. While walk-ins are welcome, if you wish to guarantee a seat, we recommend sending an email (roguesgallerytx@gmail.com) or calling to reserve a space on the list.
