It’s probably no accident that this Encounters season went hand-in-hand with the introductory red box for D&D Essentials-just as the original “Keep” was packaged with D&D’s first red box (1981). “Season of Serpents” is obviously an homage to B2: “The Keep on the Borderlands” (1980). “Season of Serpents” was also the first Encounters season to tie into the “ Points of Light” setting for 4e. In addition, the pregenerated characters for the scenario are all Essentials builds. To support the tie-in, players were encouraged to create Essentials characters, and were granted renown bonuses for doing so. By the time the season ended, Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms (2010) had also been released. When the season started, the Red Box Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set (2010), Heroes of the Fallen Lands (2010), and the Rules Compendium (2010) were all out. “Season of Serpents” tied in with the launch of the D&D Essentials line for 4e. It was released for play in Fall and Winter 2010. “Keep on the Borderlands: A Season of Serpents,” by Chris Sims, is the adventure series for Season 3 of D&D Encounters. The same tales warn that this Chaos Scar draws wickedness to it. At Restwell Keep, you've heard that fortune and glory await those bold enough to brave the dangers of the Chaos Scar, a valley carved ages ago by a fallen star.
