“The Epic Encounters boxes have been a fantastic addition to the 5e landscape”.

— Theo, the Gallant Goblin

Like Hello Fresh for 5e, just crack open the box and follow the recipe to serve up thrilling adventures at a moment's notice.

Made for new and experienced tabletop Game Masters, every Epic Encounters set features a versatile all-in-one boxed encounter that’s ready to play as part of a new or existing roleplaying campaign. Complete with stunning, high-quality minis, these sets take your game nights to the next level!

If you’re a busy Game Master with minimal time for game prep, Epic Encounters has you covered. Each Epic Encounters release includes two linked boxes—a warband box bursting with a whole host of detailed and varied minion minis, ready to cause chaos across your table. And a boss box containing one showstopping big bad that's sure to produce a few gasps as it hits your table. At this point I’m not sure we can call these bosses ‘minis’!

Created with high-quality hard plastic for the ultimate detailed adversaries, these minis are ready to roll straight out of the box. Epic Encounter minis require little to no assembly, and just beg to be painted. Whether you’re looking for a new big bad for your next game night, or a gorgeous mini to bring to life with your own custom paint job, Epic Encounters is your tabletop go-to for some of the best TTRPG minis around.

Alongside these marvelous minis you’ll also find beautifully illustrated, reusable battle-maps (perfect for those cinematic combat moments), any tokens you might need, and an encounter booklet. This booklet contains an entire easy-to-run encounter full of lore, hooks, stat blocks, and tips and tricks to help you run a thrilling encounter every time. Set the scene and tell a rich story whilst bringing your map to life with terrain effects, because this terrain fights back!

The boss boxes dive further into combat, helping you get into the mind of your big bad. These step-by-step guides lead you through the attack pattern for your big bad, creating an epic boss battle that’ll keep your players on the edge of their seats.

Each set is a versatile tool that can not only be played as a one-shot encounter, but teamed up with its linked box for a thrilling mini campaign. Perfect for introducing your new players, or to drop into your existing campaigns as expertly written side quests to give you a break from prep. With their adjustable tiers, you can add an Epic Encounters set to any campaign and deliver a fierce challenge to your players, no matter their level.

So if you’re a busy GM, take your players on an epic pre-made 5e encounter or even create a mini campaign by pairing up two linked Epic Encounter sets, and run an unforgettable adventure with stunning components and minimal work. 

Epic Encounters are your secret weapon for creating legendary game nights!
