D&D "Red Box" Game Day this Saturday (11th September)

[MerricB]

Coming up this weekend, it's D&D "Red Box" Game Day!

I'm going to be at my FLGS (Good Games Ballarat) from about 1pm running the adventure for those who are interested. Will you be participating, wherever you are around the world?

Currently, I've got 5 players confirmed, and likely more to come... which means I'll have to get one of my friends to DM a second session.

Official Wizards page

Sunderpeak Temple
Long a bastion of good on the edges of the wilderness, Sunderpeak Temple has succumbed to an unknown threat. You have been tasked to journey to the site of the temple and find out what has befallen its residents, as the priests are needed to destroy an enchanted skill imbued with necromantic magic. Will you face down the dark denizens that dwell within and learn the truth of the temple’s fate? A Dungeons & Dragons adventure designed for 4-6 pregenerated characters of 2nd level.

Cheers!

Running the Cape Town event, looking forward to it

Sounds like it might be set up as a direct sequel to the Red Box adventure. I'll have to check this out.

Anyone know what the pregens look like? Will they actually be made using the info in the redbox (an unlucky fighter without a CON score would be fun), a real build from the heroes book, or just a made up statblock that doesn't map to either one?

I ran a session of this at our meetup last weekend as a warm up for the big event (since two of the players were DMs for the game day it equated to a slot zero). Players still grumbled about pregens... they always do. But this is an essentials game, and you really can't make an essentials character yet without the books.

It's a fun adventure, reminds me a lot of old school d&d, but there is something I thought could work better:

[sblock]The encounter with the runes, they never really came into play much because the players were leery of them... also they never took the time to disarm them because they were only doing a little damage to one player per round.

My suggestion, make them a close burst 1 effect... that will get their attention and have them be more of a factor in the combat.

The dragon fight at the end was deadly as expected, but the party still triumphed... but only after I killed half the party. I expect to hear about TPKs at our event.

We have 29 RSVP's right now... I expect more this week. We are running 7 tables, probably 8 by the time all is said and done.

We are giving away two copies of the red box set at our event to players who sign up and RSVP correctly (we are trying to encourage proper sign ups). If that goes well we will probably give away a copy of Gamma World for that gameday.

I believe that it is indeed a direct sequel to that story. There are some references to let you tie it to that.

I'll be one of several running at the flgs I frequent.
