About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to roll the dice and sharpen your swords, because Sword & Sorcery: Abyssal Legends is here to shake up the world of immortal heroes! This time, the crew who's already survived a ton of trouble is back in action, leaving solitude behind to embark on a new maritime adventure. The mission? Investigate a sinister mystery in an ancient port and, as a bonus, unravel a bizarre dream that's keeping everyone up at night. This dream starts as a vision of a sunken city but quickly turns into a cosmic nightmare with tentacles and a chilling titanic creature! This expansion takes place 50 years after the Immortal Souls saga, and the good news is that it's fully compatible with both the Immortal Souls and Ancient Chronicles campaigns. This means you can mix and match all the heroes and villains you already know to create your own epic tales. But hey, to play these six new quests, you'll need one of the core sets (Immortal Souls or Ancient Chronicles) and an Act II expansion (Darkness Falls or Northwind Tales). Oh, and a heads-up: the game has extensive text, so it's good to have someone fluent in English or a good translator nearby to avoid getting lost in the story!
