Heroes of Green Hollow is a D&D adventure that asks what it costs to leave a lasting legacy of goodness, and challenges players to recognize the consequences of drawing their sword. โ Difficult choices lead to completely distinct events and outcomes โ Guidance for creating characters with deep ties to the story โ Powerful DM tools for customizing the adventure to player preferences โ Low on prep time, high on drama and big narrative moments ๐๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐโฆ โข Is an all-new campaign book for the D&D 5E system. โข Designed for parties levels 3-5 โข 200 pages long. โข Features over 17 original full-color painterly illustrations and 11 new custom full-color maps โข Includes a range of specialized character backgrounds and story hooks to help DMs integrate their parties deeper into the story. โข Tools and tips to support new DM's running their first full campaign. ๐๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐.๐๐จ๐ฆ! ๐๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ฎ๐ฒ? ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ฐ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐! https://green-hollow.com/preview/ ๐๐ซ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ: โGreen Hollow is an amazing adventure that hopefully paves the way for more of its kind. It seamlessly blends traditional adventure design with immersive story mechanics reminiscent of CRPGs such as Mass Effect. Each choice the players make has meaningful and mechanically explicit implications on what is yet to come. Because of this the adventure has a โnext genโ feel to it, making the overall storytelling experience feel more collaborative than ever. I canโt wait to see its release!"

Some good examples include strong NPC dialogue, interior and exterior descriptions, DM Tips, and sidequests which make navigating the information easy but all give guidance in how to run this campaign. This also comes into play with the Combat tips. A powerful monsterโs stat block can be quite daunting but the team have worked well to create easy to read guidance. This is definitely worth a look, I know Iโll be pinching a heap of this stuff for my games.โ Stuart Watkinson, (๐๐๐ฌ๐ก๐โ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ข๐๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ , ๐๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฌ) โWe all know D&D is, at its core, a monster fighting game. Matthew and Ryan have taken a different approach with Green Hollow to encourage the characters to fight for peace. A well-developed set of NPCs frame the action, allowing for GMs to easily dive into roleplaying them. Guidelines within the adventures take into account numerous responses by the characters, giving Green Hollow the feel of a vibrant, living world.โ Alan Tucker, (๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐ฌ, ๐๐ฉ๐จ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ฌ๐)
This adventure can be used in any setting that features landowning nobility as a social class. It focuses on the Firebird, a mythical creature from Slavic folklore similar to the phoenix. The characters begin inside a tailorโs shop where theyโve been gathered by Pero Toporov, the best tailor in the city of Krylo. The city is ruled by the confident and insensitive Baron Yuri, who commissioned Pero to create a beautiful cloak woven with the feathers of the Firebird, a creature known for its healing powers. Pero agreed on the condition that their work would be used to aid Yuri's citizens, who have been sick and ailing under Yuri's restrictive rule. Instead, the Baron took the cloak for himself. Pero is hiring the adventurers to help them break into the Baronโs fortress and steal the cloak back without being caught. The characters find a way inside the fortress and break into the dungeon, where the cloak is supposedly hidden away. Within the dungeon, the party finds the Firebird itself locked in a golden cage where Baron Yuriโwearing the magic cloakโis antagonizing it. Baron Yuri attacks them to protect his treasure and is not open to negotiation. However, the characters may try to befriend or capture the Firebird. If they sway the bird to their side it may help them fight the Baron. Once Baron Yuri is defeated, the characters can take the cloak for themselves or return it to Pero. Dethroning the Baron earns them the gratitude of the cityโs people. If they return the cloak, Pero pays the adventurers and assures them that the cloak will be used for good from now on. Pgs. 173-179

It will be great for new players and seasoned vets alike. Who is in charge? Who is torturing the players? Let the chaos beginโฆ

This adventure is written with the intent that it takes place in the subterranean world called the Underdark in the world of Forgotten Realms, although it may be placed in other settings. Within the Underdark, Cyrog's lair can be placed anywhere though it is stated to be thousands of miles east of Gravenhollow. If you are running Out of the Abyss, you may want to have your players see the vision Cyrog Lives! Hail Orcus! (OOTA, 158). Additionally, it is recommended that this adventure be used for a party of 4 to 6 players, level 9 to 12. While merely hinted at through visions in Out of the Abyss, Orcus is roaming the Underdark unchallenged with an army of mind flayers at his disposal. Cyrog, the elder brain of a mind flayer colony in the Underdark has died. The demon lord Orcus has reanimated and taken control of it. The hive of mind flayers is now bent to Orcus's will through Cyrog as he strives to make all life in the multiverse into a vast undead horde under his control. The adventurers are contacted by a patron who gives them a special item (such as brain worms) to suppress their brain waves and make it possible to infiltrate the Cyrog's Lair without immediate detection. The adventurers must defeat or otherwise subdue mind flayers and a few guards, override the elder brain's mechanical defense system, and slay Cyrog.
