About the game
Welcome to Tanares, a high-fantasy campaign setting for the 5th Edition of the world’s greatest roleplaying game. With almost 1,000 pages, the book set features an abundantly detailed world, four unique, bold, extensively playtested new classes, four original races, hundreds of unique illustrations, and hundreds of subclasses, spells, feats, and backgrounds — plus more. Working also as an expansion to Arena: The Contest and Tanares Adventures, you can experience the power of these new features as new classes, sub-classes, and races as the miniatures also come with everything you need to play them on our board games too. Behold the majesty of the new Gold Dragon and the new, fearsome Penumbral Dragon, ready for the fight on Boss Vs. Boss mode, found on the Dragon Collection Expansion. Meet the warlords from Arena: The Contest, in new, exclusive miniatures, complete with new cards. Face the terror of the new foes from the Penumbral Plane and complete your 3d scenery collection with the new Scenario Pack. In Tanares, whenever war was waged, the bloodshed summoned a powerful, frenzied Dragon that buried the civilizations involved, resetting History and forever changing the landscape. This dystopian world is kept together and on a short leash by an Empire that forbids large armed gatherings. Under this decree, and without many high-level adventurers out there, your Team may become one of the most powerful units in the world. Build an Adventure Team Sheet, earn Career Points and level up, design a headquarters and flag. Effect real change to all aspects of the scenario, be it with your 5E party or through the Solo Mode, a 300+ card deck that lets 1-4 players live and play the Adventure without a GM! Become a Hero, change the world's fate, and take your game to the next level.
