Great stories, but...By Paul M RaaschNo Tusks, A Kudekah to Remember and Mungo the Undying were all great stories, but the so-called "excerpt" of The Wererat's Tale III: The Collar of Perdition was five chapters long and comprised nearly half of the total page count, which I was quite disappointed by. I'd have much rather either had a couple more stories or a shorter page count as this felt like nothing more than a attempt at padding the page count.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Amazing!By CustomerThe stories that surround this world are full of wonderful adventure that I love. Plus bonus chapters I didn't expect at the end. Such a great surprise.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Funny, disgusting, and endearingBy CustomerAn enjoyable collection of four stories that left me wanting more.

This Chris Sims adventure is something new for the D&D Encounters program. War of Everlasting Darkness™ is an exciting Editing mini-campaign designed for play at your local Wizards Scott Fitzgerald Gray Play Network location and an opportunity to playtest Managing Editor elements of the next edition of the DUNGEONS & DRAG- Kim Mohan ONS rules. The most important element of the new rules that we D&D Producer have tried to implement in this season of D&D Encoun- Greg Bilsland ters is the idea that you should be able to do more in an Senior Creative Director hour and a half of play than complete a single combat Jon Schindehette encounter. As a result, this adventure looks significantly different from previous D&D Encounters adventures. Art Director Rather than a string of encounters, one per week, that Kate Irwin form a linear adventure, this booklet presents a series of Cover Illustration short adventures incorporating elements of exploration, Eric Belisle interaction, and combat in roughly equal measure. Interior Illustrations All the adventures offer much more flexibility than Dave Allsop, Wayne England, Ralph Horsley, Ben Wootten the linear adventures of the past, and each is designed to be played in a single session. Taken together, the Cartography adventures tell the story of the War of Everlasting Dark- Jason A.
