About the adventure:
Alligator Alley Entertainment presents its third project for its expanded 5E universe.
Expedition from the Mysterious Peaks is an action packed, dual-genre adventure series inspired by an iconic adventure classic. It’s powered by the 5th edition of the world’s greatest roleplaying game.
Play as a legendary fantasy hero, a dauntless space explorer, or both! The adventure series can be played in multiple ways:
- Using Standard 5E: You can play using the standard 5th Edition core rules and supplements, including the free Basic Rules.
- Using Esper Genesis: You can play using Esper Genesis, the comprehensive sci-fi rules system and setting for 5E.
- Using Both Rulesets: You can also combine the two sets of rules to create a limitless number of character options and combinations.
The adventure series can be played from start to finish regardless of your choice of rules. Supplemental rules, setting information, and pregens are provided to allow play with either ruleset.
In Expedition from the Mysterious Peaks, the story unfolds from two different perspectives. One is as a party of adventurers seeking to stop a cataclysmic magical threat. The other is as a team of intergalactic travelers that come across a generations-old distress beacon coming from the surface below.
These beginning elements can be played individually or simultaneously, intertwining into a rich, versatile campaign. How these paths merge depend upon the choices and actions of the players and the Game Master.
Even after the adventure ends, the events open a wealth of plot threads and story ideas to create more adventures in Thalis, the Aldor system, or your own setting.
