Inside each kit is a poster map, a bag of special d20s, NPC cards, and 20 player handout maps of the Sword Coast (more on these below). If your FLGS sanctioned the Launch Weened in time they should have received their kits by now. There is a Launch Weekend scheduled for February 15-16, but it is fairly lack-luster when compared to the last few Launch Weekends. Of course this is just speculation as Wizards has not confirmed anything beyond the title at this point.

That would mean next season’s adventure would likely be in the level 5-8 range. Since this is being billed as part one of two, the expectation is that next season players will be allowed and encouraged to continue on with the same PCs they used this season. The PCs begin this season at level 2 and should reach level 5 by the end. As much as I may not like this decision, it makes sense that Wizards wants everyone playing the new system with the official release coming later this year. No 3.5e or 4e conversions as there were the previous few season despite what we were told on the message boards and on Twitter by Wizards staffers. So what’s in store for this season of D&D Encounters? For starters, this season play is focused exclusively on D&D Next.
