Weekend in the Realms 2: November 6-8

Join us once again this year as we explore a desolate region of Faerûn with this year’s Weekend in the Realms! Bring your existing 1st-4th level Living Forgotten Realms character to play this exclusive, one-time adventure called “The Icy Queen’s Crossing”, written by Shawn Merwin. Set in the cold northern realm of Narfell, the 4-hour adventure takes place in the aftermath of the events depicted in the new Forgotten Realms novel The Fall of Highwatch, which releases on November 4. This is the very first time we’ve done an adventure with a novel tie-in, and we sincerely hope to do more in the future! Here’s the adventure’s description:

The Icy Queen’s Crossing

In a region so dangerous that even the most savage of Nar tribes fear trespassing there, a group of heroes has a chance to change the face of a war-torn land. This adventure has locations and characters from the Forgotten Realms novel The Fall of Highwatch. A Weekend in the Realms exclusive adventure set in Narfell for Living Forgotten Realms characters levels 1-4.

All the materials a DM will need to run the adventure will be provided in the kit, including a double-sided poster map of all the encounters, a sheet of tokens to represent characters and monsters, and (of course) a 16-page adventure with a full-color cover featuring the art from the novel. And if you’re a player that doesn’t have a Living Forgotten Realms character, you can either create one on-site (character creation rules are provided in the kit) or use one of 6 pre-generated characters presented on full-color, double-sided character cards.

Make plans to head out to your nearby play location to get in on the fun, as this adventure is exclusive to the weekend. A list of nearby play locations will be available through the Event Locator.

Show Them Real Adventure on September 19!

Bring your friends and join in the fun as we celebrate the release of Dungeon Master's Guide 2, packed with new options for your Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition game.

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!

Just for playing, you'll take home the pregenerated character sheet and a miniature of the character you played. If you DM the game, you'll take home a poster map of the encounter areas and a pack of monster miniatures used in the adventure.

This is a very special activity that has never before been a part of Worldwide D&D Game Day! But don't worry if you just want to play; you can participate in as much or as little of the adventure-building activity as you want. Nothing, however, beats the satisfaction of hearing another team howl in terror as they fight the foes and traps you placed for them!

A Passage Into Mystery is a special team-created 6th-level adventure that uses tiles from DU3 Caves of Carnage and monsters from the Monster Manual: Legendary Evils miniatures expansion. Come out on September 19 and be a part of the adventure!
