Surely I am not the only one to notice that when you first go to the website you get a counter beside the ad for encounters. My only question is, just what is supposed to be happening in 318 days? The end of the world? The release of the virtual gaming table? I admit, I'm a bit perplexed. Anybody out there have any ideas?

  The countdown is normally to the next season/session, IIRC. It probably just got confused by the rollover to 2012.

IIRC There was a countdown clock on-site when 4e was first announced.

The year countdown was an error and we've killed it, with blunt weapons. The next season of D&D Encounters should start up mid february as planned. Sorry for the confusion all.

Oh, okay. Nothing to get excited about then. Although was personally kin dof hoping it was a countdown to the virtual gaming table. I love D&D but currently live on a 600 acre cattle ranch and nowhere near where I can play any more

Last I heard they opened the beta testing up to all insider subscribers and there is a thread in 4E General where they are having a preview for non-subscribers.
