The Harpers faction sticker went right on the cover! together in a small Field Notebook (a habit from earlier gaming days - made it easier to distinguish between games I was playing) and just scratch out old data and replace with new… makes it easy to see the progression of a character, too. I keep my characters stats, equipment, spells, etc. Lacking a printer, players are allowed to photocopy the character sheet, however, and the glossy high quality nature of the page will make for sharp photocopies. One player mentioned he preferred a printed out copy on plain paper. I had a pen that worked well, so I was fine. The coating on the paper made it very difficult to write on them with pencil. Note: The only problem I heard more than one person mention was the glossy nature of both the character sheet and the adventure log sheet. Wizards of the Coast really went all out with their preparations, and I saw a number of players digging into their folders and smiling as they read their own special letters Nicely done, WotC!

Finally, a card with a code on it that provides a unique magic item that can be used in the new Neverwinter MMORPG video game. (On the back was a breakdown of the faction levels players can obtain through secret missions and such - again, more on this in a moment.) Also tucked in there was a signed letter from my faction leader with some background on my faction’s beliefs and methods as well as a matching Certificate Number. Tucked inside the folder were a character sheet, an adventure log sheet (more on this in a moment), a faction emblem sticker (for affixing to the character sheet), a folding name plate with the faction emblem and a space for character name and player name on the front for DM and other players to see. Also, all players received a folder emblazoned with their faction emblem (I chose Harpers). The DMs had some great maps of various in-game locations that could be placed on the table for combat - highly detailed printouts that really helped set the scene. One of the surprises that awaited me was the amount of pre-planning that went into the event. The three DMs included two veterans and one new - I was at the table with the new DM, and I’m happy to report he did a great job keeping the story moving and his six players engaged. Returning players? Count me in that group, along with a few others I heard mention that the 5e rules and the 40th anniversary was enough to get them back in for a test spin. From what I saw (and heard - it was LOUD in that building), it appears that everyone was having a great old time. If the RPG version of D&D is to survive, fans are going to need to make certain that new players are welcomed into the fold. I’m hoping he’ll be back… maybe even with some friends.
I don’t know how many of them were completely new, but we did have one young player at my table (age 13), and I was happy to see that the experienced players were patient and helped him navigate some of the rules (such as Ability Score bonuses). New players? Oh, yeah! Last night, I counted a total of 23 players (and 3 DMs) at Titan Games & Comics (Smyrna, GA).
Wizards of the Coast has created an adventure that DMs in the Encounters event will be running across the country (world?) with a mix of both new and experienced D&D players. Players will be using the new 5th edition D&D rules (that include the Starter Set as well as the new 5e Player’s Handbook, Monster Manual, and Dungeon Master’s Guide) as they adventure in the Forgotten Realms. It was all part of the D&D Encounters event that will meet every Wednesday (for a while). Last night, for the first time in over 20 years, I got to play a game of D&D around an actual table with some new friends.
