Worldwide D&D Game Day Come in and check out the new 4th Edition rules in a fun and free evening. Wizards of the Coast supplies us with everything we need for a great night of D&D fun. We have 2 DM's lined up so far, sign up in-store to guarantee your spot. No rules knowledge required - a great way to get introduced to the game. As a player, you'll be handed a pre-generated character and a d20 to take home with you (and possibly more free stuff). Each group of daring adventurers (4-6 players and one DM per group) will embark on a one-night adventure - are you up to the challenge? If you're interested in DM'ing come in and let us know - you'll get the adventure module ahead of time to prepare, and you get loads of other great swag as well. As 4th Edition of D&D was released on the 6th (the day before this event) we expect everyone to be a little inexperienced with the rules. So if you've never played D&D before but have always wondered what it was all about - now is a great time to jump in. If your an old-hand at D&D this is a low-commitment way to check out the new rules to see what they've changed in the game (knowing what I know already - I'm pretty sure most of you will like the changes). | ||||||||||||||
