D&D Encounters New Season Starts Today

Elliott MillerMay 22, 2012

The new season of D&D Encounters starts today and runs through August 15th. You can find a location near you to participate in this ongoing exciting Dungeons and Dragons experience.

This season plunges you into the Web of the Spider Queen

Long past are the days when drow ruled over Shadowdale from the Twisted Tower—or are they? Beneath the sleepy farming community, an old evil stirs. The drow and their foul Underdark minions have set eyes on the Dalelands, but to what end is anyone’s guess. Now, it’s up to an unlikely band of adventurers to defend Shadowdale from the drow threat and learn what Lolth and her villainous followers are up to. Success means a respite from danger. Failure could doom the surface world.

Do Cool Things, Get Cool Stuff

Players, as you progress through each season, you’ll earn Renown Points you can use to get exclusive Fortune Cards. Dungeon Masters, as a way of thanking you for your invaluable work, you’ll get exclusive game aids you can’t find anywhere else.
