From Wizards of the Coast:
If you think you have what it takes to brave the fiercest foes, fight the toughest battles, and conquer the vilest enemies, we have a new Dungeons & Dragons play experience for you! Starting in September, gather your master tacticians and rules experts together to kick down the dungeon doors and begin the assault!
D&D Lair Assault is a new Wizards Play Network in-store program that pits tactically-minded players against a super challenge where the difference between victory and defeat is dependent upon your game knowledge, ability to adapt, and a little bit of luck. You’ll pit your wits against some of the most difficult encounters you’ve ever played. Each challenge is a mega-encounter that plays in just a few hours, but many will need to make more than one run at it in pursuit of victory.
We’ll be running Lair Assault every other Thursday through September and October. Sign up for Lair Assault in person at the shop.
We ask that each player buy a $5 Gift Token to participate in the event. Tokens are good for $5 off anything in the store.
Wizards of the Coast has announced the time line for the upcoming Lair Assault. Here’s what they had to say:
D&D Lair Assault is a new Wizards Play Network in-store program that pits tactically-minded players against a super challenge where the difference between victory and defeat is dependent upon a player’s game knowledge, ability to adapt, and a little bit of luck. Players pit your wits against some of the most difficult encounters they’ve ever played. Each challenge is a mega-encounter that plays in just a few hours, but many will need to make more than one run at it in pursuit of victory. D&D Lair Assault challenges are available for a few months, and stores can schedule their sessions at anytime during that period.
Over the course of the next few months, we’re going to give you previews of the various features of the program, as well as talking about some of the design decisions that went into the program. Take a look below for more information on what we’ll be discussing each month.
June: Character Creation
We’ll take a look at what your players need to know about creating characters for D&D Lair Assault, including rules allowed, equipment restrictions, and D&D Fortune Card use.
July: Dungeon Mastering
Your Dungeon Masters (DMs) will find all sorts of fun with D&D Lair Assault. The program’s design makes the adventure highly replayable and pits DMs in a cat-and-mouse game with players. Find out some of the program’s features that allow a DM to really get devious.
August: Rewards and Recognition
Playing through D&D Lair Assault is an intense experience, pitting the skill of the players against the wits of the DM and the challenge of the deadly adventure. We’ll discuss the ways in which both players and DMs are distinguished for their participation and recognized for outstanding play.
The Assault Begins September 1
The new season of Dungeons & Dragons Encounters starts this Wednesday, May 11th. There are open seats available for the 8:30 PM table.
