Worldwide D&D Game Day: Player's Handbook 3
In the frontier village of Beorunna's Well, all is not well. Villagers have disappeared without a trace, and the locals fear to walk alone at night. Now, the villagers hear distant cries of terror at night, echoing from an abandoned fortress outside the village. A group of brave heroes must step forward to explore the Lonely Tower and end the threat to Beorunna's Well. This Dungeons & Dragons adventure was created for Worldwide D&D Game Day, and is designed for 4-6 6th-level characters, which are provided with the adventure.
Well there is the official line from WotC. They will be releasing the PH3, probably about a week in advance of the game day on March 20th. The game day is designed to promote the PH3 so hopefully there will be a couple of new classes and races to try out.
For anyone not familiar with these events I'll give you a short run down. Everyone splits into groups of 4-6 players and we play a short module (3-4 encounters) that lasts about 4 hours. In the past we have always used sucky pre-generated characters that they send with the adventure, and I'm sure they'll be just as sucky this time around. Each player gets to keep the miniature of the character he plays. In addition to those paltry rewards, you get to reap the true rewards of the Game Day event. That being, hanging out and socializing with people who have the same interests, RPG's.

I received the game day kit today. They've changed the setup a bit. You used to get a free miniature of the character you were playing. Now though, they are using card-stock tokens. So no mini. Sorry.

So, anyone who plays 4e D&D is invited to join us on March 20th at Top Deck Games. Those who don't play 4e D&D are also invited to join us at Top Deck Games. After all, most gamers play a variety of games so it's a good chance to network and try to find other people for the game you really want to play.
I plan on running two sessions if there is enough interest. The first from 1:00 -5:00 and the second from 6:00-10:00. There will also be at least one other, if not two DM's also running games but I don't know their times yet. I would show up about a 1/2 hour before the start time so that things can get organized and everyone has time to look over their character before the game starts. The only thing you need to bring is yourself, and your dice (and I have extra's of those, so it's not a requirement either).
If anyone is interested, please go ahead and post, and what time slot, so that I can gauge the number of potential players (and for what time) for this event.
