Five Leagues From The Borderlands Compendium Coming From Modiphius Entertainment

For fans of solo and co-operative fantasy skirmish wargaming, exciting news has just broken! Modiphius Entertainment has announced the upcoming release of the Five Leagues from the Borderlands Compendium, set to hit retail in July 2025. This highly anticipated volume promises to be an essential addition to any adventurer’s library, bringing together a wealth of content to expand your campaigns in the treacherous Borderlands.

What is Five Leagues from the Borderlands?

For those unfamiliar, Five Leagues from the Borderlands is a critically acclaimed solo/co-operative adventure wargame where you lead a small warband of heroes through a procedurally generated fantasy world. With its intuitive rules, dynamic campaign system, and focus on emergent narrative, the game offers a truly immersive and endlessly replayable experience. You’ll create unique characters, explore diverse landscapes, encounter a vast array of enemies, and embark on epic quests, all driven by dice rolls and your strategic decisions.

A Compendium of Epic Proportions

The upcoming Compendium is a significant release, collecting the first two major expansions for Five Leagues from the Borderlands into a single, comprehensive hardcover volume. This means you’ll get:

The Ancient Land of Dust: This expansion plunges your warband into a harsh, magic-soaked desert that was once the lush Emerald Fields. Ancient threats stir, undead soldiers rise, and warriors are drawn across time to serve a fallen Warlord. This expansion adds new rules, character options, guidance, and a wealth of lore for exploring this dangerous and rewarding region. Prepare to face desert encounters, delve into Temples of the Old War, and contend with deadly new enemies and aberrations.

Paths in the Wilderness: Offering an array of options to tailor your Five Leagues games, Paths in the Wilderness is brimming with content. This expansion provides new ways to create characters, perform activities, encounter (or even recruit!) creatures, and utilize the core game rules, allowing for even greater customization and emergent storytelling within your campaigns.

Descend into the Deep Below: A Brand New Standalone Game!

Perhaps the most exciting revelation within the Compendium is the inclusion of Deep Below, a brand-new, standalone Five Leagues game. In Deep Below, you’ll command a six-strong warband exploring the perpetually gloomy and claustrophobic caves and collapsed keeps of the underworld.

Deep Below is not just an expansion; it’s a full campaign experience with its own streamlined core mechanics and character progression. It features:

Archetype-based character creation: Including the introduction of Rune Magic, a new mystic art to master.

Underworld base building: Utilize new Settlements and Structures rules to establish your haven in the depths.

New origins: Recruit heroes from the Grey Elves, Derzkan, Weaslings, and Windspite Clan Dwarves.

Integrated gameplay: Deep Below is designed to allow characters to transfer between games, expanding your Five Leagues universe and offering truly epic, multi-faceted campaigns.

Why You Need This Compendium

The Five Leagues from the Borderlands Compendium is a must-have for existing players looking to expand their adventures and delve deeper into the rich world of the game. For newcomers, it presents an incredible value, offering the core expansions and a brand-new standalone game in one convenient package. With its wealth of new mechanics, enemies, characters, and environments, this Compendium promises countless hours of immersive solo and co-operative fantasy wargaming.
