Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse is a boxed set containing three sourcebooks for 5th-edition Dungeons & Dragons: a setting guide, a bestiary, and an adventure, all focused on Sigil, the City of Doors.
“
An adventure setting spanning the infinite realities of the world’s greatest roleplaying game.
Infinite realms of immortals and impossibilities, the Outer Planes brim with celestials, fiends, gods, and the dead—and they're all just a step away. Enter a portal to Sigil, the City of Doors—an incredible metropolis where portals connect to every corner of the multiverse. From there, venture to the Outlands, the hub of the Outer Planes, and discover wonders beyond imagination, as well as the secrets of celestials, fiends, gods, and the dead.
Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse contains everything a Dungeon Master needs to run adventures and campaigns set in Sigil and the Outlands, as well as new options for players who want to create characters prepared to explore the planes.”

Background Information[]
- Although the scant Planescape material in 3rd and 4th seemed to follow on the same timeline as 2nd Edition, it's uncertain where 5e's Adventures in the Multiverse fits into the timeline, if anywhere. It may be a reboot, or given how many plane-shaking events happen during the life of Dungeons & Dragons, there may be reality-alteration at play.
- Evidence indicating a continued timeline:
- The Mind's Eye faction: it came into existence as a result of the Faction War. The text even indicates it's the result of a merging of two previous factions.
- Jeremo the Natterer (Planescape: In the Cage: A Guide to Sigil
) claims he wants to bring the Ring-Givers into Sigil as a full faction, with plans to take over from Factol Ingwe. Here, the Ring-Givers are a minor faction, with Jeremo listed as factol. His earlier headquarters, the Palace of the Jester, is mentioned as having been sold by the Ring-Givers. - The Tower Sorcerous has recently returned to Sigil.
- The Grixitt (Planescape: Uncaged: Faces of Sigil
) has been captured and imprisoned. - The events of Turn of Fortune's Wheel are a direct result of the events of the 2e Planescape: The Great Modron March adventure.
- Evidence indicating a reboot of some sort:
- The factions are in Sigil with no suggestion that they were ever kicked out. Factions and factols may have returned, but even factols who were killed in the Faction War (e.g. Hashkar) are back.
- The structure of many faction headquarters is inconsistent with their original appearance.
- Morte Rictusgrin appears in the Turn of Fortune's Wheel, evidently waiting for someone in the Mortuary, suggesting it takes place before the events of Torment: Planescape: Torment . Torment takes place in 125 YFHR, just before 2nd Edition's books.
