On September 23 Kobold Press launched a Kickstarter campaign for a new TTRPG campaign setting for 5e based games called Labyrinth.
The press release describes the campaign as:
Enter the Labyrinth offers a cosmic saga set in the enigmatic space between worlds, where creation and corruption collide. The immersive experience allows players and game masters to explore arcane secrets, confront cataclysmic monsters in the Near or Deep Void, and even create entire worlds at will.
The Labyrinth Worldbook introduces a wealth of content, including 14 new lineages, 6 new heritages, 30 new monsters, almost 100 new spells, and 14 mind-bending subclasses. These options cater to multiversal characters and storytelling and are seamlessly compatible with both the Tales of the Valiant RPG and Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition.
The Labyrinth Adventures book encompasses 11 new adventures ranging from levels 1 to 8. This compelling adventure book helps Game Masters craft their most epic campaigns yet, offering a continuous storyline or individual adventures to integrate into existing campaigns seamlessly.
Review/Preview
The artwork for Labyrinth is top notch, embracing deep purples and burgundies. The creatures pictured span from the odd and truly weird to absolutely creepy. The adventures revolve around the Void, a plane of nothingness that is expanding threatening all life. It is a plane hopping universe ripe for exploration and adventure. It’s reminiscent of Monte Cook Games’ Path of the Planebreaker setting and early versions of Dungeons & Dragons’ Planescape. It’s built to dovetail with Kobold Press’s Midgard setting.
