D&D Next: Conversion Notes Debut!

Wizards of the Coast has just released the first D&D Next conversion notes (as part of the latest playtest packet), which will be available for use with all future D&D Encounters seasons. Beginning with the Against the Cult of Chaos season, which commences on February 6, players will need to decide which version of D&D they want to play - D&D 4th Edition or D&D Next – when they create their Encounters characters during the first week.

Dungeon Masters who choose to run the upcoming season under D&D Next rules will be able to download conversion notes at a later date at www.DNDNext.com.

Against the Cult of Chaos is a new adventure that takes inspiration from classics such as Village of Hommlet and Against the Cult of the Reptile God. Not only does this new story feature characters and locations from beloved past adventures, but there's another compelling reason to participate – there’s two ways to play! The season runs from February 6 through April 3.
