About the game
“But some of us awake in the night with strange phantasms of enchanted hills and gardens, of fountains that sing in the sun, of golden cliffs overhanging murmuring seas, of plains that stretch down to sleeping cities of bronze and stone, and of shadowy companies of heroes that ride caparisoned white horses along the edges of thick forests; and then we know that we have looked back through the ivory gates into that world of wonder which was ours before we were wise and unhappy.” - H.P. Lovecraft Season 6 is a full-fledged expansion for Cthulhu: Death May Die. Exploring the wondrous locations of Lovecraft’s Dream Cycle, this expansion brings brand-new game mechanics to Death May Die, including an 8-sided Dream Die and a set of ever-changing tiles, plus new Investigators, Monsters, Relics, nightmare-inducing (or maybe nightmare-induced!) Insanities, 6 new Episodes, and 1 new Elder One. No reason to pinch yourself, as this expansion is practically a dream come true… let’s just hope Investigators can survive it! —description from the publisher
