About the game
In every Sword & Sorcery quest you can find key places, useful for your adventure or lethal for your characters: Spawn Gates and Gods' Shrines. This set provides new components that make the game visuals even better and enhance gameplay, replacing the cardboard version of these important locations with three-dimensional pieces. This add-on replaces the cardboard spawn gates and altars included in the normal version of the game with plastic figures, properly sized to fit our terrain tiles and designed to optimize the playing area. Also included is a beautiful 3D party token, to mark the position of the Heroes during the Journey phase. A special feature of this set are the Hollywood cards: magical weapons and enchanted armor inspired by classic movies - previously available only in the Kickstarter edition of Immortal Souls, and now revised and updated. These weapons include the new Ancient Chronicles feature – the minimum level to play with them - and a price. Visiting an Emporium in some remote city, you might find one of these items - at a cost which is as legendary as the item is! This set also includes four cards inspired by the backers of the Ancient Chronicles Kickstarter campaign. You can use this accessory both in the Immortal Souls campaign and in the Ancient Chronicles campaign.
