Unveiled during this year's D&D Live event, Wizards of the Coast's latest Dungeons & Dragons adventure book - Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus - is now available for purchase. If you're interested in a pen and paper adventure that will take you to hell and back and in the process involve you in all sorts of feuds and conspiracies, then you should definitely consider picking Descent into Avernus up. This adventure can also serve as a lead-up of sorts to Larian Studios' upcoming CRPG Baldur's Gate III, so that's another reason to check it out.
Visit the official WotC website to find a list of retailers for the adventure book itself, a Descent into Avernus-themed set of dice and various physical goodies, and the Battle for Baldur's Gate expansion for Dungeon Mayhem, an official D&D card game. Here's a quick overview for these products:
Baldur’s Gate: Descent Into Avernus
The newest Dungeons & Dragons adventure book takes players (level 1 to 13) from Baldur’s Gate to Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells. Players become embroiled in a plot that sprawls from the shadows of Baldur’s Gate to the front lines of the planes-spanning Blood War! Do players have what it takes to turn infernal war machines and nefarious contracts against the archdevil Zariel and her diabolical hordes? And can they ever hope to find their way home safely when pitted against the infinite evils of the Nine Hells?
Baldur’s Gate: Descent Into Avernus also introduces the infernal war machines — battle-ready vehicles for use in the Blood War between devils and demons. Players can customize these engines of destruction to traverse the deadly depths of Avernus.
Fans can enjoy two beautifully designed covers – the standard cover illustrated by Tyler Jacobson and the alternative cover featuring a distinctive design by Hydro74.
Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus Dice & Miscellany
From the streets of Baldur’s Gate to the front lines of the Blood War, the dice you cast might be your last. The Dice & Miscellany set includes 11 dice, a dice tray/box, 20 double-sided cards with exclusive content, a foldout map of Avernus, and even a sizing chart for the demons and devils of the Blood War!
Battle for Baldur’s Gate
The first expansion for the wildly popular, easy-to-learn, family-friendly card game, Dungeon Mayhem, which released in 2018. With new art by Jake Parker (founder of popular art challenge Inktober), this expansion unleashes two brand new characters from Baldur’s Gate—beloved ranger, Minsc, with his miniature giant space hamster, Boo, and the shapeshifting druid Jaheira.
