Battleground Games and Hobbies will be running the second season of D&D Encounter every Wednesday night at 7:30pm and if necessary, 9:00pm.
Character Creation:
Players will be given pre-generated characters this season. You will not be able to create your own PC.
The characters provided this season will include all sorts of great previews of new races and other cool rules options that will appear in the Dark Sun Campaign Setting. The Thri-Kreen and Mul are back—and they’re playable characters in this season! Every character also has one of the new theme options (like gladiator or wasteland nomad), which better define a character’s role in the setting. Since you’ll be playing these characters for the duration of the season, we’ve also given them great backgrounds and roleplaying hooks that help to integrate them into the story of the adventure.
Details:
This upcoming season is a 15-week campaign, which begins on June 9th and ends on September 15th. Every five sessions of play equals one chapter in the story; you can take a short rest between sessions but can take an extended rest only after the chapter concludes. You’ll want to show up every week, because we have a compelling adventure in Fury of the Wastewalker. This adventure will take you all around the Tyr Region, giving you a classic Dark Sun feel of gritty survival and bold action. Here’s a little bit more on the adventure to whet your appetite:
Fury of the Wastewalker
On a trade road to the city-state of Tyr, a caravan is assaulted by a deadly obsidian shardstorm. The survivors are forced to band together and navigate the wastes to safety. But the force of nature that destroyed the caravan is under the malevolent control of the being known as the Wastewalker, who will stop at nothing to see the end of those that escaped his initial wrath. Can the heroes reach the Ringing Mountains before it’s too late?
