Village Games, May 23rd, 2009 'D&D Game Day'

On Saturday I attended D&D Game Day, a worldwide day of D&D gaming, at Village Games. It's a program run at game stores and other venues around the world celebrating the game.

This Game Day was themed around Monster Manual 2, and consisted of a prize quiz, a free novel introduction booklet and of course a game.

The game was called 'Journey Into the Silver Caves', and consisted of 5th level pregenerated characters. The object of the game was to retrieve a book stolen by a kobold wyrmpriest. As part of the game, we also used provided miniatures, and got to keep the minis we used.

I played Eomer (also known as Bob), a Dwarf paladin of Moradin.

Unfortunately, he was the only member of the party with heavy armor, and nearly drowned when he fell off a raft. Probably the closest he came to dying the whole adventure, though several other players had close calls. And we won't even get into the whole rust monster thing. In the end, everyone lived and we recovered the book. Yay for us!

Dwarves were not meant for the water though...

Below are a few pics of the day.



This is Nico, the bloke running the Gameday. Great guy and a future LFR judge to game with!


These are some of the guys during the game. The guy on the left is Grover, the DM.

This' part of the game being played out on one of the two mapsheets. The mini in the center with the white cloak is Eomer (aka Bob).

That's pretty much it for Game Day. If I remember anything else, I'll post it.
