D&D Encounters Season 3 is set in the Nentir Vale and is called Keep on the Borderlands: Season of Serpents. This is a reimagining of the classic D&D adventure, updated for 4th Edition. The season runs 20 weeks from September 22 – February 2, and is broken into five chapters of four encounters each. Pregenerated characters are available, or players can create their own 1st-level characters using the Red Box and Heroes of the Fallen Lands. Characters will reach 3rd level by the end of the season.

We’ve been promised a very cool story for season 3, something more than a typical dungeon-delve-style adventure. There will be interesting NPCs, good opportunities for role-playing, and many recurring characters. There are big surprises in the adventure, and hints of a terrible foe behind the plot threatening the Nentir Vale.

Once again, we’ll have three tables and three DMs every Wednesday night. Sign-up sheets for the first session will be at the counter on September 15.

Grab a friend and get ready to celebrate the launch of the new D&D Gamma World Boxed Set. Mutate a brave new hero and be ready to take on just about anything! Experience the return of an old classic in a new play experience using the D&D 4th Edition rules engine! The D&D Gamma World game is a fast, furious romp through a post-apocalyptic Earth where mutant heroes face-off against killer robots, alien weirdness, and strange irradiated creatures.

Gamma World Game Day: Trouble in Freesboro
It’s shocking how the Big Mistake completely obliterated some places while others got by relatively unscathed. Freesboro falls into the latter camp, but if Genghis Tangh has his way, life will never be the same for the mutants of Gamma Terra. Delve into the origins of the Big Mistake as you take on Tangh and his forces! Pick up a D&D Gamma World Boxed Set, a few booster packs of power cards, and create your own characters in an exciting new Game Day experience! A D&D Gamma World Game Day adventure designed for 4-6 characters of 1st level.

An exclusive 4-hour adventure called Trouble in Freesboro, written by Robert Schwalb, includes an online feature to the game that if accessed during game play can provide the players with a valuable clue. Players purchase 2 D&D Gamma World booster packs and create their own characters when they arrive at a participating location to play. DMs are required to have a copy of the D&D Gamma World Boxed Set and the adventure materials, available prior to the event day in the game day kit, to prepare to run their game. In addition to a poster map and the adventure, the game day kit also contains 2 different D&D Gamma World cards, available nowhere else, and awarded to players and DMs just for participating!

We’ll have at least two tables running, starting at 1:00 on Saturday, October 23.
