Game On! (Was Veterans Gaming) (map)
Adventure Background: The Elder Elemental Eye
Long ago, the Sabrak clan of dwarves, in an effort to restore their clan’s lost power and status, meddled with dark forces in the Sunset Mountains. The dwarves succeeded only in creating their own isolation and madness. Their clan grew smaller and ever more degenerate—so that today, only the three brothers who lead the clan and a handful of other dwarves remain. Of the three brothers, Zarnak, the eldest and most powerful, is a seer whose mind shattered long ago when it came into contact with an ancient evil known as the Elder Elemental Eye... and who now plots to spread the abyssal plague throughout the world.
Players who played in the last season "Beyond the Crystal Cave" can transfer one item they gained from that season to their new character this season to give them an extra edge.
D&D Encounters is a bi-weekly Wednesday ongoing in-store campaign, playable in two encounters per meetup (approximately 2-3 hours per meetup). Players earn experience and treasure for their characters as they participate in a compelling ongoing story arc that lasts for a few months. They also gain reknown points that earn them special promotional fortune cards available nowhere else.
This season also features the newest set of D&D Fortune Cards from the "Spiral of Tharizdun" set.
Two questions:
1) Any special requirements or restrictions for character creation? Class / race / background / etc?
2) I took the "Happiness" reward at the end of last season. That said "I receive an intangible, fulfilling reward of my choice which will grant resist 5 psychic." How exactly do I incorporate this onto my character? Thanks!
Somewhere (Scott, any chance you've got a link) there's a list of what themes are allowed for this season (all of the ones out of the new book Heroes of the Elemental Chaos as well as a few others from Dragon that focus on elemental stuff). You get extra renown for playing an elementalist or a sha'ir (don't ask me for details on either of those two at this time). And as far as happiness is concerned, just wear a smug grin on your face every time the DM says you take psychic damage and tell him
you'll let him keep 5 points of that damage for himself this time because you're happy to help him save it for another attack some other day.
I'm not going to be GMing this season, so I'll be back at the table once again.
I would like to play this coming season, but I'm not sure of all the details to this game. What version is it? 3.5 or 4th? If some one could give me more info i would be largely grateful :)
it's 4e in a specific environment (described above) I was new to this last round, but they get you up to speed quickly :-)

Refunds are not offered for this Meetup.
The first session will be only one combat encounter with the initial time to allow players to create a new character. Character sheets will be provided for those who are interested. One hour will be set aside for character creation. I recommend you come at 6 even if you already have a character, as 1) you can help new players make a character and 2) you'll secure your spot to play when the adventure proper starts at 7PM.
