Join us Sunday, March 10th for an Epic Dungeons and Dragons game at Planet Comicon, sponsored by ReRoll Tavern!
“A ritual to destroy Chult’s undead has backfired and unleashed an undead plague! The components needed to concoct an antidote have been identified, but need to be scavenged from the jungle. Meanwhile, Valindra Shadowmantle and Szass Tam are rallying the infected to conduct a massive assault on Port Nyanzaru. If they succeed, the results will be catastrophic.”
This playthrough is of the Epic D&D adventure “Drums of the Dead” and is open to any Adventurers League Characters from level 1 through 20, encompassing twenty-four tables working in tandem to complete the quest objectives. This is also a Charity Epic game, as detailed further below.
The Epic will be held in Bartle Hall in the Planet Comicon convention floor’s Tabletop Gaming Room (3501E-H) and can accommodate up to 175 players at once! We will provide dice, miniatures, maps, blank character sheets, pencils and anything else you might need, including pre-made Level 3 and Level 11 characters for new players. All we need is you!
There will be twelve Tier-1 and Tier-2 Tables for characters level 1-10, and twelve Tier-3 and Tier-4 Tables for characters level 11-20. Each table will be able to accommodate up to seven players at a time. Players may either use their own Adventurers League legal characters or a pre-generated character for the event.
Player sign-in will begin at Noon, with game play starting firmly at 1:00pm. Since this is a timed event, players not seated by 1:00pm will not be able to participate in the Event. This will be a three hour game.
Tickets for this event are available for Free so you can reserve your seat at the table. There is no cost to participate, however players will need a Planet Comicon convention badge in order to enter Bartle Hall and join the Epic. Walk-in players without advance ticket reservations are welcome to play, with seating preference given to players who register in advance and have a ticket. Any player who has not claimed their ticketed seat by 12:45pm is subject to having their seat given to a walk-in player.
Due to the nature of such large events, some tables may be rearranged or folded together before the event begins, to facilitate the best possible gaming experience. For example, a table with two players and a table with three players may be combined into a single table of five players, or two table of six players may be split into three tables of four players, and so forth. This is to ensure the best possible gaming experience for all participants. We will do our best not to split up any groups that wish to play together when doing this, and will do our best to ensure all players get to participate in the Epic.
This is a Charity Epic game, and as such you will have the opportunity to support Children’s Mercy Hospital by playing in this Epic! Players are permitted to purchase ReRolls for their d20s during this event by donating $1 to Children’s Mercy. Further, a player may donate $20 to place their dice with the 20 facing up, and count it as a roll of a Natural 20. 100% of the proceeds from ReRoll donations will go directly to Children’s Mercy Hospital!
A charity ReRoll does not grant advantage and does not negate disadvantage, it’s just a ReRoll and we’re not creating new rules, but a player can ReRoll that d20 as long as they keep donating. Any player or spectator can purchase a ReRoll for any other player, so long as the d20 roll does not result in a negative experience, such as forcing a character to fail a saving throw, getting the character killed/rendered unconscious, and so on. Players can do this as many times as they desire on a player’s d20 roll. Dungeon Masters will not be allowed to purchase ReRolls for their NPCs.
Planet Comicon Kansas City is dedicated to providing a safe and fun environment for all fans. Please see the Planet Comicon website for all posted guidelines for your convention experience, including code of conduct and anti-harassment standards. Our staff will be available throughout the convention and during the event to help best facilitate your experience. Thank you for helping make everyone’s Planet Comicon experience a positive one!
