Baldur’s Gate Descent into Avernus RPG - Preorder Now!

Forge your fate in hellfire! Diabolical dangers await in this adventure for the world's greatest roleplaying game.
Welcome to Baldur's Gate, a mist-cloaked metropolis on the Sword Coast, a city of ambition and corruption, but also a place of history and a home to heroes. You've just started your adventuring career, but already find yourself embroiled in a plot that sprawls from the shadows of Baldur's Gate to the front lines of the planes-spanning Blood War! Do you have what it takes to turn infernal war machines and nefarious contracts against the archdevil Zariel and her diabolical hordes? And can you ever hope to find your way home safely when pitted against the infinite evils of the Nine Hells?

This heroic Dungeons & Dragons adventure book takes players from levels 1 to 13 as they journey through Baldur's Gate and into Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells. It introduces the infernal war machines to fifth edition D&D—battle-ready vehicles, which you can customize as you blast off into the Blood War.

Dungeon Masters can entice their heroes with devils' deals, designed to lure adventurers with the ultimate temptations of power and treasure.

Exclusive Alternative Cover

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - A Board Game of English Magic open for preorder

Set during the events of the cult-classic book by Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell sees players delve into the world of English magic.

Take on the role of an aspiring magician as one of the four principle characters from the novel - Jonathan Strange, Mr. Norrell, Miss Redruth, or John Segundus - and start your journey down the path to greatness.
