Worldwide D&D Gameday 2007

[Glyfair]

More details are up. The theme this year is Icewind Dale and Drizzt. Not too surprising because the DDM Icons Drizzt pack will have been out a month or two by then.

What I found interesting was this:

The second, and more akin to a treasure chest of goodies, is our event kit. These come with everything your store needs to turn it into the center of fun you’d expect from such a global celebration. This includes: character packs keyed to one of five different player characters. In each of these packs are the painted miniature, character sheet, d20 and pencil. Basically everything your players need to have an action packed adventure. For the DM there is a, special to game day, adventure and a pack of dice (d4,6,8,10,20,100) and a unique RPGA rewards card offered nowhere else! Lastly there is a full instruction pack on how to use the material.

It's pretty neat that each player has a pack keyed to their character. However, only five kits!?! Six is the typical number to a table. I wonder why five.

It's good that they have a DM specific reward. DMs have traditionally put in a lot of work, and it's nice to see they get something special for this. True, it's mostly useful in the RPGA (I allow the campaign cards to be used in my home game in a modified manner), but DMs likely to run at WWD&DGD are more likely to be active in the RPGA as it is.
