Silent Gods Relaunches with D&D Expansion In a thrilling announcement that has sent ripples through the tabletop RPG community, Silent Gods—the acclaimed dark fantasy roleplaying game originally released in 2018—has officially relaunched with a major expansion: Silent Gods: Chronicles of the Unheard, now fully integrated with the 5th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D 5e) ruleset. Developed by Eclipse Games in collaboration with Paizo Publishing, the expansion brings the haunting, mythic world of the Silent Gods to a new generation of players while preserving the original game’s signature tone of cosmic dread, moral ambiguity, and ancient, forgotten pantheons. What’s New in the Expansion? D&D 5e Compatibility: The core rules of Silent Gods have been restructured to seamlessly interface with the D&D 5e system, allowing players to use familiar mechanics like ability scores, saving throws, and spellcasting while diving into a world where gods are not benevolent—they are silent, indifferent, or even actively hostile. The Hollow Pantheon: A new pantheon of forgotten deities, each tied to a unique domain (e.g., the God of Forgotten Names, the Lady of Unspoken Sorrow, the Voice That Eats Light). These gods do not answer prayers—instead, they demand sacrifice, silence, or truth. The Shattered Covenant: A new campaign framework where players must navigate a world where divine oaths have collapsed, and the old gods have gone silent—or worse, are actively hunting their former followers. New Character Options: Voiceless Clerics who channel power through ritual silence rather than prayer. Echo-Walkers, humans who have traded their voices for the ability to hear the whispers of the dead. Oath-Bound Warriors, warriors bound by forbidden oaths that twist their bodies and minds. Expanded Bestiary: Featuring terrifying new creatures like the Hushspawn, Gloom-Dancers, and the Void-Singers, all born from the absence of light and sound. New Magic System: The Whisperweave, a mystical magic system based on suppressed emotions, forgotten memories, and the power of silence. Why the Relaunch? “Silent Gods was always meant to be a game about absence—not just the absence of gods, but the absence of meaning, of answers,” said lead designer Mira Vael. “With this expansion, we’re not just making it playable in D&D 5e—we’re giving it new life, new stories, and new ways to unsettle players. The world still feels the same: cold, vast, and full of things that should not be spoken aloud.” The relaunch includes a full-color hardcover core rulebook, a 32-page adventure module titled The Hymn of Drowning Stars, and a set of beautifully illustrated tokens and handouts. Availability Silent Gods: Chronicles of the Unheard (D&D 5e Edition) is now available for pre-order through major retailers and the official Eclipse Games website. A free digital preview is also available for download. Whether you’re a long-time fan of the original Silent Gods or new to its eerie universe, this expansion promises to deliver one of the most atmospheric and emotionally charged RPG experiences of the year. “In this world, to speak is to risk being heard… and to be heard is to be found.” — From The Hymn of Drowning Stars Prepare to listen. Even if there’s nothing to hear.
