'''Planet Apocalypse''' is a 3rd party [[spatbook]] for [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]] written by [[Sandy Petersen]] - yes, of [[Call of Cthulhu]] fame. The book offers mechanics, adventures, monsters, guidelines and other inspiration for running an apocalyptic campaign in which your D&D world is invaded by vast armies of [[fiend]]s, and essentially is the closest thing you might ever see to a crossover between D&D and [[Doom]].

The basic concept of '''Planet Apocalypse''' is that there is a [[fiend]]ish realm called ''Underhell'', which is populated by armies of monstrous beings that seek to conquer mortal worlds in order to absorb them into their own hellish plane. And now they're targeting ''your'' campaign setting. Seriously, we told you that this was basically Dungeons, Dragons & Doom.

Spanning a whopping 358 pages, it includes 68 pages of sample adventures and general adventure-writing guidelines, 8 pages of spells, 12 pages of magic items, new subclasses, and a whopping 200 or so pages of new monsters.

==Subclasses==
The '''Path of the Trophy Hunter''' is a [[Barbarian]] who fashions talismans from the remains of their kills and draws mystical power from their presence.

The '''Branded''' is basically an homage to Guts from Berserk;; a [[Fighter]] marked with a spiritual brand from a Fiend Lord, which draws fiends to them, but also allows them to tap into the hellish powers of Underhell. Think a [[warlock]] equivalent to the Eldritch Knight.

The '''Way of the Wastelands''' is a [[monk]] who has taught themselves to thrive in the apocalyptic hellhole their world has become by embracing the mantra "survival of the fittest".

The '''Scrapper''' is a [[Rogue]] who specializes in creating booby-traps to punish and slay those who try to get too close.

The '''Blood of the Lost''' is a [[Sorcerer (Dungeons & Dragons)|Sorcerer]] who has a blood connection to a forgotten hero who battled the forces of Underhell in the past, allowing them to draw upon that spirit's power as an embodiment of hope.

==Fiends of Underhell==
The fiendish residents of Underhell are divided into six castes, which in ascending order of power are ''Void Minions'' (the warped remnants of souls from previously conquered worlds), the First through to Fourth Circles, and finally the Fiend Lords, who rule over the fiends as a whole. Collectively, fiends are divided into Twelve Legions; Acheron, Annwn, Cocytus, Dis, Gehenna, Hades, Lethe, Pandemonium, Phlegethon, Sheol, Styx and Tartarus.
