Within the next week,  Derek and I have a special guest on a pre-season FINALE PODCAST with one of the co-authors (Shawn Merwin) of this great season so stay tuned!!!

Recounting Encounters: Against the Cult of Chaos - Session 6

Join us, as Derek Myers from Dungeon's Master, and me, Marc Talbot,  where we discuss what happened at our gaming table: the good, the not so good, and the wish we could change. We also have with us this season, Craig Sutherland, who gives us his perspective from his gaming table.

This 12th season of D&D Encounters promises to be one of the better seasons of Wizards of the Coast Public Play projects.

Players start at level 1, and make their way through Hommel Lane and attempt to figure out what is happening with town.  The players choose their own destinies based on the clues available to them, and eventually come head to head with the cause of the whole ruckus.
