The game

Already own Rangers of Shadow Deep? It is not a board game in a box: it is a rulebook and story supplements. This page orders the books; the miniatures and terrain come from your collection.

1-4 players, solo included. Every supplement needs the core rulebook, a ranger and companions built with it, and your own miniatures and terrain.

No miniatures in any box. These are books. Rangers, companions, monsters and terrain are miniatures-agnostic: use whatever figures you own.

The supplements tell one story. Blood Moon comes first (with Temple of Madness), Ghost Stone continues it, and Across the Wasteland opens The Rescue for experienced rangers (level 10+).
