The D&D Experience – Rise of the Underdark at Gen Con

Aug 15, 2012

We’ll be at Gen Con this week and looking forward to checking out The D&D Experience – Rise of the Underdark which is taking place throughout the show. It looks like Wizards of the Coast is pulling out all the stops to immerse gamers in the dark underworld of the Drow. Dungeons & Dragons will have a big presence at this year’s con and it looks as if this is only the beginning as excitement builds toward the release of D&D Next.

From Wizards of the Coast:

Throughout the convention center, fans can visit eight unique D&D locations set within the drow city of Menzoberranzan to collect treasure and participate in a variety of D&D activities – including D&D Next playtesting and Dungeon Command gaming sessions, just to name a few.
