Running through December 19, War of Everlasting Darkness is the final D&D Encounters season in the Rise of the Underdark storyline, and it’s sure to be epic!

We had a chance to visit with Shelly at the Wizards of the Coast booth. She has a lot of information for us about the Rise of the Under Dark. We even talk about Joe.

Shelly shares a lot of information with us, while having a good time.

The Rise of the Underdark is going to be a great gaming experience. It really suits players that like to force others out of their comfort zone.

One of the cooler things about this series is that he source book is presented so it can be used in all five editions of the game. IF that is the future of 5th ed Wizards is moving in the right direction.

War of the Spider Queen V1 (novel)

$ 15.95 SRP

The War of the Spider Queen — the epic, six-book series from the fertile imaginations of R.A. Salvatore and a select group of the Forgotten Realms best-selling authors–begins here. While their whole world is changing around them, four dark elves struggle against different enemies. Yet their paths will lead them all to the most terrifying discovery in the long history of the drow and set them on a quest to save not only Menzoberranzan but the entire dark elf race from dissolution. Insurrection A hand-picked team of the most capable drow adventurers begin a perilous journey through the treacherous Underdark, all the while surrounded by the chaos of war. Their path will take them through the very heart of darkness, and the Underdark will be shaken to its core. If the powerful dark elves falter, the world below is open for insurrection. Condemnation From the burning sand of Anauroch to the labyrinthine Underdark, an epic quest for the very essence of the Spider Queen takes one startling turn after another. Powerful forces are at work to discover where Lolth has gone. She may return as something greater than she was, or she may have gone from her drow children forever, leaving them to their own devices in a chilling condemnation.
