Dungeons & Dragons New York Comic Con Events

Friday, February 6
1 PM, D&D Convention Delve --Siege of Blood and Shadow: A terrible gloom has descended upon a town overrun with denizens of dark and evil, the streets awash with blood. You are the last hope for the remnants of the besieged townfolk. Do you have what it takes to be a hero, or will you be lost in blood and shadow? A D&D Delve for 3rd level characters -- get as far as you can in 45 minutes. Play as often as you like and earn prizes! Runs all weekend.
2 PM, D&D Convention Special --Beyond the Door: In a dark corner of the elemental chaos a strange, stone obelisk marks the location of a plain, iron trap door. No lock, ward, or curse guards this portal, yet none who have passed through it have returned to speak of what rests beyond. Some claim that the mortal corpse of Vecna, guarded by undead horrors beyond reckoning, rots away beyond it. Others whisper that the door leads to the black heart of the Chained God, the last physical shard of that dread being. The advice of the wisest sages has led you to this place. You seek the wand of Tzunk. Every sage agrees that the wand was last seen in the hands of Darvek Hahn, and Darvek was last seen passing through the door before you. Can you avoid whatever terrors have claimed so many lives? A 4-hour D&D adventure for 15th-level characters, written by Mike Mearls. Create your own character by downloading character creation rules on www.wizards.com/rpga or play a pregenerated character provided.
7 PM Three-Dragon Ante Tournament -- Show you're the best of the best by outwitting your opponents in this fun card game! Top 2-3 players from each table advance to play at a final table. Compete for the final prize -- a big stack of Wizards products!
