What is D&D Encounters?

D&D Encounters is an in-store weekly mini-campaign played out one encounter per session, with sessions every Wednesday. Each week, you gain Renown Points for accomplishments made both in-game and out-of-game. Points earn you exclusive rewards that you can apply to your current and future D&D Encounters characters. D&D Encounters seasons rotate every few months, giving you the opportunity to try new adventure settings multiple times per year!

Can I Jump in Anytime?
Yes! If there is space available in a group you can join anytime. Check for openings in the upcoming sessions on our Events Page.

What Do I Need to Play?
D&D Encounters is designed to introduce new players to Dungeons & Dragons. You can jump in anytime. Pre-generated characters are always available for play, and some seasons will give you the option to create your own character. You should bring:

• A set of polyhedral dice. We have a wide selection of dice here at the store, from very inexpensive up to very fancy.
• A pencil and paper.
• Your Wizard’s Play Network number, if you have one. If you don’t have a number it’s no problem, we can provide you with one.
• A Dungeons & Dragons Player’s Handbook would be handy, but is not necessary.

Can I be the Dungeon Master?
If you are going to DM, your store organizer will have all the adventure materials you need to prepare to run the weekly sessions, including the adventure, maps, and tokens to represent the characters, monsters, and other game elements. If you’d like be one of the Haunted Game Cafe’s DM’s, please contact us at ghosts@hauntedgamecafe.com

What Kind of Rewards Do I Earn?
Players earn exclusive D&D Encounters cards that provide your character with in-game benefits that can be applied to your current season’s character and future seasons’ characters. DMs earn different valuable game aids as a thank you for running D&D Encounters sessions.

What Does it Cost?
Playing D&D Encounters is completely free. (By the way, did we mention that we sell a complete line of Dungeons & Dragons books, miniatures and accessories?  : )
