In 2024 we witnessed the return of one of Dungeons & Dragons greatest villains in the pages of Vecna: Eve of Ruin, a new high level campaign that saw players journeying across the multiverse to thwart the machinations of the dreaded lich lord.

As part of that release, longtime DnD third-party publisher Beadle & Grimm’s also announced the publication of the Platinum Edition for Vecna: Eve of Ruin box set that contains maps, custom player hands outs, miniatures and other swag to bring the campaign to life. After initially only being available for pre-order, this limited edition box set is now available to ship on the B&G website.

So what other surprises does Vecna have in store in this new high-end version of the campaign? Below, we crack open all the details.

What’s included in the Platinum Edition for Vecna: Eve of Ruin?

Beadle & Grimm’s Platinum Edition for Vecna: Eve of Ruin campaign set actually contains three separate boxes: a campaign box, a map vault and a miniatures set.

Campaign Box

This box, which is also designed to be displayed on your shelf, includes the following:

• The full module of Vecna: Eve of Ruin broken out into five booklets
• D&D Beyond code for the full digital version of the module
• 3 original Beadle & Grimm’s Bonus Encounters
• 17 Secret cards
• 10 player print handouts
• A custom Vecna DM screen (with custom art by illustrator Sidharth Chaturvedi)
• 3 custom coins and 1 temporary tattoo
• 54 monster and NPC encounter cards
• 7 aluminum pieces that assemble into the Rod of Seven Parts

Icons of the Realms Miniatures Box

This box contains 18 fully painted miniatures from WizKids based on their Vecna: Eve of Ruin line. Notably for the Beadle & Grimm’s Platinum Edition, the vast majority of the minis featured in the collection have new paint jobs that aren’t available anywhere else. The full list of minis in the B&G set included the following:

• Vecna
• Tasha
• Alustriel
• Bearded Devil
• Black Rose Bearer
• Blazebear (large)
• Drider (large)
• Eldritch Knight
• Horned Devil (large)
• Moonlight Guardian
• Necromancer Wizard
• Red Abishai
• Spyder-Fiend (x2)
• Vrock (large)
• Warforged Blade (x2)
• Kas the Betrayer

Map Vault Box

Like other Beadle & Grimm’s products (including their new 2024 DMG Premium Map Collection), the Vecna: Eve of Ruin set also contains a ton of custom-made maps that tie into the campaign., including:

• 16 battle maps
• 4 area maps for players
• 8 annotated maps for DMs

How much is the Platinum Edition Vecna: Eve of Ruin

The Beadle & Grimm’s Platinum Edition for Vecna: Eve of Ruin retails for $509 USD. This is definitely a hefty price tag, but comparable to what we’ve seen with other B&G products and not unexpected given the high-end maps, minis, player hand outs, collectibles and display case that come with the set. If you’re worried about pricing though, the B&G website does offer interest-free instalments via their ShopPay program.

It’s also important to note that are additional shipping costs, which can be a little pricey given just how huge and heavy the set is. Again though, you get what you pay for, and what’s included here looks absolutely stunning and worth every copper piece if you can afford it.

Final Thoughts

If you’re a fan of Beadle & Grimm’s and thinking of running Vecna: Eve of Ruin, then chances are you’re going to love this latest Platinum Edition box set. While we haven’t had a chance to get our hands on a physical version, what we’ve seen looks amazing, which is no surprise given that high quality DnD tie-in products that B&G has put out over the years. In short, it’s the next best thing to owning the actual Hand and Eye of Vecna himself.

You can order your copy of the Platinum Edition for Vecna: Eve of Ruin now on the B&G website.
