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!

This event is rustled up by our friends the COWS Role Playing Gaming Club

    •  Awesome; great chance to meet with some new players and get to participate in the dungeon-making process. Also; Jim the Scarecrow will live on in our memories! 
    •  I had a great time, though I unfortunately couldn't stay for the whole event (I forgot how long combat can take in Dungeons & Dragons). I liked helping come up with the story for the DM to run with the other group (though I was a little disappointed to discover that they were working with the same pieces as us, which cut down on our surprise), and was sorry I couldn't see how that turned out. Jessica did a very good job as DM, and I liked how she really tried to role-play what was more of a straight-out combat situation.

       I think the events could have been a little more structured, and the majority of groups that failed to get going today was due to lacking one or two key individuals to play along (though several other games were ongoing through the day at various times). I did get one game in, though, with someone who was not planning on running anything at all, and it was a blast! I certainly learned a lot.
