This coming Saturday, March 13, I’m going to be at Imagine Games from noon until about 4:00, answering questions and helping people create characters if they wish. I’ll even have my computer with the Character Builder there, so we can run any characters created through the Character Builder for an extra bonus of renown points. Extra points are also awarded if you create a character using a race, class, or feat from Player’s Handbook 3, which releases next week.

So, if you’re in Winnipeg, and you’re interested in D&D Encounters, come on down to the store on Saturday afternoon, and I’ll do my best to answer any questions you have. I’ll even help you get set up with a character.

Also, remember that there are limited slots available on Wednesday nights – and I have already had two people reserve seats at the table. If you want to make sure you don’t miss out, drop me a line here, or leave your name at the store. The adventure is designed for 5 players, but I can probably scale it up as high as 7 if required.

D&D Encounters
Get your game on each Wednesday with D&D Encounters, an ongoing mini-campaign where you’ll play one encounter each week at Imagine Games and Hobbies. Earn exclusive rewards as you gain Renown Points for accomplishments made during each season!

What is D&D Encounters?
D&D Encounters is an in-store weekly mini-campaign played out one encounter per session, with sessions every Wednesday run by veteran DM Rick Neal. Each week, you gain Renown Points for accomplishments made both in-game and out-of-game. Points earn you exclusive rewards that you can apply to your current and future D&D Encounters characters.

D&D Encounters seasons rotate every few months, giving you the opportunity to try new adventure settings multiple times per year!

What Do I Need to Play?
Each D&D Encounters season is a new mini-campaign experience. You can jump in anytime. Pre-generated characters are always available for play, or you can create and bring your own 1st-level character. Spots are limited, so if you want to reserve a space for you, contact neal.rick@gmail.com, or leave your name at the store.

What Kind of Rewards Do I Earn?
Players earn exclusive D&D Encounters cards that provide your character with in-game benefits that can be applied to your current season’s character and future seasons’ characters.
