Worldwide D&D Game Day, September 19th
This upcoming Worldwide Dungeons & Dragons Game Day is a little bit different from previous outings. As the website describes:
In the spirit of Dungeon Mastering, we’re giving you the opportunity to create and show off your very own adventure! Work as a team to build encounters using the materials provided. After your team has finished, play another team’s adventure or DM the one your team created. We provide you with everything you need — maps, miniatures, monster stats, and how-to instructions. Just bring your imagination, a pencil or pen, and some dice!
As is becoming a tradition with these days sponsored by Wizards of the Coast, players get a souvenir in the form of the miniature of the character they played. The GM also gets a pack of monster miniatures and map of the encounter areas.
To find a game day near you, consult either Wizards’ own store finder, in the sidebar of the page linked above, or try a third party site like The Master List.
Go forth and prod buttock!
