Description
Fifth Cycle Gamescreen contains a three-panel cardstock gamemaster's screen and a 24-page booklet.[1] The screen has various tables on the gamemaster's side, and a list of spells from two colleges on the player's side.[2] The booklet contains game aids, character sheets, a spellbook page, an archaeology sheet, 6 combats sheets, 6 non-player character sheets, two "spell trees", and a short adventure titled "The Whispering Temple".[2]
In the adventure, novice players can begin their adventures in Dolphinia, where they encounter Aristophene, who entrusts them with a dangerous mission: to go to the site of a temple abandoned since the third cycle, where several expeditions have already disappeared.[2]
