Time grows short for Queen Elvanna.

Before she loses control of her nation, Queen Elvanna wants to accomplish one final work that will serve as her legacy, something that the world will always remember her by. Yet the key to her plans lies buried under an ancient necropolis, the tomb of a long-dead sister who dared to oppose Baba Yaga and caused a brief but terrible conflict known as the Witchwar, and the only white witch of Irrisen to bear the brand of traitor to that nation. Queen Elvanna has sought out many mercenaries, heroes, and villains to seek out the tomb, yet to date none have returned. Will the PCs serve the White Witch and seek out the Witchwar Legacy within the tomb, or will they step in to oppose her and race against her villainous champions to reach the tomb's inner sanctum first? A wintry wilderness and dungeon adventure for 17th-level characters.

D&D Encounters Season Three (Keep on the Borderlands) Begins on Thursday, September 23rd!

The next season of D&D Encounters begins on Thursday, September 23rd with a classic-feel campaign: the Keep on the Borderlands! The adventure, A Season of Serpents, highlights the new D&D Essentials books as the characters explore the dangerous lands of the Chaos Scar near Restwell Keep. A traditional D&D play experience coupled with an amazingly fun story arc written by Chris Sims, this season is sure to be an exciting return to the days of D&D yore. D&D Encounters: Keep on the Borderlands is broken up into five chapters of four sessions each, for a total of 20 sessions of D&D play. The season starts on September 23 and lasts through February 3, 2011. At the beginning of Chapter 3, characters will bump up to 2nd level. When Chapter 5 starts, characters will become 3rd level.

Players can create characters using the D&D Fantasy Roleplaying Game boxed set (A.K.A., the “Red Box”) or the Heroes of the Fallen Lands book. The second book will have more options for players, but both are viable. Both will be available prior to the first session of the season. Once Chapter 3 starts, players can use the Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms book to make a new character or update their existing character if they want. Pre-generated characters will be provided if you don’t want to “roll your own.” All of these characters are also built with the new Essentials character options.

As always, our games will run from 7-9 on Thursday nights, and you can come every week or drop in and out as you like! Sign up now to guarantee a spot at the table!
