Rise of the Drow (Adventure A Week)For the next eleven days you can save a whopping 75% off the excellent mega adventure Rise of the Drow, from Adventure a Week, on DriveThruRPG. The campaign is available for Pathfinder (or D&D 3.5) and I thought it was simply excellent – check out my review right here – and just jam packed with plenty of action. Right now you can score the core 494 PDF for just $7.50 and also pick up the prologue The Darkness Arises and epilogue The Commander of Malice for $4.00 each.

From Ed Greenwood’s forward:

If absolute power corrupts absolutely, Matron Maelora best beware; her plans for total domination of the Underworld are already close to satisfactory completion, while attacks on the Upperworld have become increasingly successful. The other power-hungry drow families of Holoth may despise her but they know a true leader when they see one, and House Gullion has been revealed as the family to lead them all on the path to glory. With the entire Underworld in chaos and the Spider Goddess regularly communing with her chosen Matron, far greater dreams than mere regional conquest are within the grasp of the drow, as Maelora prepares her grand dark elf army for victory!

With other mystical allies standing firm with the Matron, other Underworld races beneath her heel or cowering behind fortified walls, and every drow ready to play their part when she gives the word, what could possibly stop her from achieving her final triumph and fulfilling her destiny?

But even the greatest of plans has a flaw if you look hard enough, and a party of stout heart and strong resolve can make a difference. At first, such a party may well believe it is on a smaller adventure, perhaps to win a few baubles or some small acclaim by rescuing a few kidnapped villagers. Soon, however, those adventurers will realise that much more is at stake, and that they are the ones who will need to make moves against the evil Matron Maelora and her increasing dominance if both the entire Underworld and Upperworld are to be saved. But how will they go about it? Can they ensure their own success when an entire city is standing against them? Only they have the chance to halt the Rise of the Drow!

“Rise of the Drow” is a standalone ‘mega module’ of almost 500 pages. It is designed for starters of 6th level and takes players up to around 18th level. It can be played in conjunction with “The Darkness Arrives”, the prologue to this adventure that support PCs of level 1 to 6, and “The Commander of Malice”, and epilogue to RotD that takes those same PCs to level 20.
