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.
