Recounting Encounters - Search for the Diamond Staff Session 2: Imani's Tower

In this follow-up adventure to the gameday: Vault of the Dracolich, the party is called to Hap to speak to the wizard Imani.  A great item has been found called the Diamond Staff which can open countless mysteries of ancient Elven societies.

The staff is stolen by Orcs and the party must now stop the evildoers from unlocking the secrets of the elves and reclaim the diamond staff.

Backstabbing, intrigue, betrayal, and of course the Orcs, will make for a great season of Encounters.

Join us for another great season of the good the bad and the ugly as Derek from dungeonsmaster.com, Craig and I recap everything that happened at our gaming table this week.  We talk about what happened during the encounter, some of the changes that we made as DM's and talk about some of things we liked a lot and things we liked not so much.

The Storm has Broken - Erik Scott de Bie Speaks on the Conclusion of this Season of D&D Encounters!

This week at Recounting Encounters, Derek, Craig, and I have the wonderful opportunity to once again speak to Erik Scott de Bie, author of this season of D&D Enounters: Storm over Neverwinter.

We had so much fun recording this episode; Erik is very forthcoming and has a great sense of humour.  We talked about some of the things we had to hold back on for fear of spoilers for the finale of this season of D&D Encounters.  Join us as we pick this man's brain for you all during this storm breaking evening with Erik Scott de Bie.

For those of you who do not know Erik, he is the author of the ever popular Shadowbane novels (DownshadowShadowbane, and Shadowbane: Eye of Justice), as well as the author of the fist season of D&D Encounters; Halaster's Lost Apprentice and Season 6: The Lost Crown of Neverwinter.

Erik is constantly writing and is coming out with a lot of stuff all the time.  Follow him where he is most active at ericscottdebie.comFacebook, or Twitter.

Recounting Encounters - Storm over Neverwinter - Session 8: Eye of the Storm


Adventure Background: Storm Over Neverwinter

The frontier city of Neverwinter has persevered in the face of calamity. Yet even as the city rebuilds, an insidious threat rises from within its walls. Neverwinter’s citizens are succumbing to an inexplicable madness, while from the shadows, an evil cult of Asmodeus spins sinister plans. Unless a group of heroes rises to stop these perils, Neverwinter might face an even greater danger on the horizon.

This D&D Encounters season takes characters from levels 3-6. It also includes an optional online component, which allows players and Dungeon Masters to convert the adventure to the D&D Next playtest.

Join us for another great season of the good the bad and the ugly as Derek from dungeonsmaster.com, Craig and I recap everything that happened at our gaming table this week.  We talk about what happened during the encounter, some of the changes that we made as DM's and talk about some of things we liked a lot and things we liked not so much.
