Keep on the Borderlands: A Season of Serpents

 





Venture into the perilous Chaos Scar with a heroic band of adventurers. Every Wednesday you and your companions will face a new challenge, playing through an ongoing D&D campaign—one epic encounter at a time.

Earn exclusive rewards as you gain Renown Points for accomplishments made during each season!
Heroes needed! Are you game?
D&D Encounters is an exciting, weekly campaign that plays out one epic encounter at a time. As you defeat enemies, solve puzzles, finish quests, and perform heroic deeds, you’ll earn Renown Points that you can use to get exclusive rewards.

Each session only takes 1-2 hours to play, so it’s easy to fit your game in after school or work. And each week there’s a new and exciting challenge. Jump in anytime!


Current Season: Keep on the Borderlands - A Season of Serpents
September 22 – February 2

The Adventure Begins
Arriving at Restwell Keep, you’ve heard that fortune and glory await those bold enough to brave the dangers of the nearby Chaos Scar, a valley carved ages ago by a fallen star. The same tales warn that this Chaos Scar draws wickedness to it. Perhaps you can help stem this tide . . . and gain some treasure as you do so. Get a play tracker to chart your character’s progress here.

 

Want to DM?
With D&D Encounters, DMing is easy. Your store organizer will have everything you need——the adventure, maps, tokens (for PCs & monsters), as well as all the other game elements you and your players will need.





Need a character?
Create your own 1st-level character with Heroes of the Fallen Lands, or we’ve got you covered – your Dungeon Master will hand you a ready-to-play hero. Want to print your own D&D Encounters: Keep on the Borderlands character or bring a backup? Download all the characters here.





Rewards and Renown Points
As you raid dungeons, you’ll earn Renown Points that you can use to get exclusive rewards, like bonus cards, that will give your character an in-game advantage. (And those will carry over from season to season.) DMs get exclusive game aids you can’t get anywhere else.
