DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS: PLANESCAPE: ADVENTURES IN THE MULTIVERSE

Infinite realms of immortals and impossibilities, the Outer Planes brim with celestials, fiends, gods, and the dead—and they’re all just a step away. Enter a portal to Sigil, the City of Doors—an incredible metropolis where portals connect to every corner of the multiverse. From there, venture to the Outlands, the hub of the Outer Planes, and discover wonders beyond imagination. The possibilities – just like the realms – are endless.

Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse comes with a plethora of new player options and provides Dungeon Masters everything they need to run adventures and campaigns set in Sigil and the Outlands, including adventure hooks, idiosyncratic locations, and multiversal calamities.

5 MINUTE DUNGEON

5-Minute Dungeon is a chaotic, co-operative, real-time card game in which players have only five minutes to escape the randomized dungeon. Communication and teamwork are critical to survival because there's no time to form a carefully considered plan — and no predicting what dangers lie ahead.

In more detail, players assume the role of one of ten heroes, each with special cards and abilities. Once the five-minute timer starts, the race is on to defeat all the monsters inside the dungeon. In order to defeat a monster, players must match symbols from their hand with ones on the monster's card. At the end of each dungeon is a powerful dungeon boss — and after the first boss is defeated, the campaign continues to the second boss. Each boss, and each randomized dungeon, gets harder until players reach the fifth and final boss.

PERSPECTIVES

In Perspectives, each player holds key information for piecing together what has happened and finding the solution.

• Three cases, each in four acts.
• Cross-reference photographs, reports, and clues... without looking at the documents of your team players!
• Will you find the details connecting all the pieces of the puzzle?

WORK TOGETHER TO SOLVE THE CASES!

SOULAWEEN

“Soulaween” is the most bustling festival at Death School! The name derives from a proverb of the school, “Soul to win”, which means reaping souls to claim victory. Legend has it, that long ago at Death School there was an accident, causing souls to flee and disperse in chaos. The teachers and students took it as a race, competing the speed of recollecting souls, and solved the crisis of the realm of death. This year, Papa Death, Osiris, Hei & Bai Wuchang along with their trainees converge in “Soulaween”, with Teacher Vulture as their judge, are ready to engage in the rival of “reaping souls”……!

Soulaween is a 2-player board game that features simple yet tricky rules and variable player powers. During the game, each player acts as a trainee of the death god, whose goal is to reap the fleeing souls by “putting” and “flipping” the soul pieces. Whoever gets 3 sets of souls becomes the winner of “Soulaween”!
