D&D Encounters – New Season Begins Thursday, November 17th!

For those who have been looking for a jumping-on point into our popular ongoing D&D games, the next season of D&D Encounters starts up on Thursday, November 17th from 7-9 PM! Beyond The Crystal Cave pays homage to a classic AD&D module and takes the characters into the Feywild!

In the first session, players will use Heroes of the Fallen Lands, Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms and the new rules from Heroes of the Feywild to create their own characters.

If you’d like to see a general overview of Encounters, including how it works, you can find that here. You don’t need to bring anything to play, although dice and a pencil are recommended, and if you have the Essentials rulebooks, you are encouraged to bring those as well.

We’ve had a lot of interest, so make sure and show up on time or even a little early to make sure you get a spot at the table! We have room for 12 people on Thursdays from 7-9 PM. If you’d like, you can sign in ahead of time by calling early on the day of the game, but you must show up by 6:45 to claim your spot or we’ll open it to walk-ins who are already there. Because we always have a lot of interest early on, we may run extra sessions on Mondays for the first two weeks if there is demand. If you would like to sign up for a game on Monday, November 21 to try it out, please send us an email to sign up! We will only schedule the Monday session if we get enough preregistered players to fill a table.

Please note, for those bringing young children to the game, that parents are required to stay if their children under 13 are playing in the game. In addition, we reserve the right to ban players who are being disruptive.

With only 14 of the New 52 released, there’s going to be plenty more changes in the points in the coming weeks! In addition to the points gained every week when comics are released, there is a 9-point bonus available to each team when they face off against one another in matches voted on by customers.

The first week match-up found Brandon Ney’s team of Batman, Red Robin, Harley Quinn, I, Vampire and Arsenal falling to Jason Mance’s team of Superman, John Constantine, Midnighter, Frankenstein and Resurrection Man. The 9 point bonus pushed Mance from third to first place!

If you aren’t participating in the draft and you want to vote on the 9-point versus rounds, make sure and vote when you’re in the store next week. We’ll do a new match-up starting each Wednesday and running through Sundays!
