About the game

What you do in a play session

If you thought your Dungeon Saga adventures ended with the Dwarf King's quest, think again! The Adventurer's Companion arrives to prove that Mantica is a simmering cauldron of dangers, treasures, and villainy, and this book is your passport to crafting your own sagas.

Do you want to be the hero facing the darkness or the villain ruling the world? With this guide, you can create unique characters from scratch, choosing names, professions, abilities, and even spells, all based on the miniatures you already own. But it doesn't stop there! The Companion provides the tools to design entire dungeons: maps, objectives, and backstories. From claustrophobic labyrinths to expansive caverns, the challenge of building them is all yours.

Watch your heroes evolve with each adventure, gaining levels and new skills, building epic tales to tell. Or perhaps you'd prefer to flip the script and lead a band of villains against an Overlord and his 'heroes'? The possibilities are vast!

Between quests, your adventurers can visit one of 13 downtime locations to rest and recuperate. And for those who enjoy solo play or want a cooperative experience without a dedicated villain player, the Companion introduces brand-new rules for that. Oh, and get ready for the 'Uncharted Dungeons' mode, where the map unfolds as you explore, and nobody knows what lurks around the next corner. Your very own Dungeon Saga is just beginning!
