View From the Bushes

Well it's that time again, we're once again releasing an adventure. This time it's by Brannon Hollingsworth and Jesse Mohn, two well-known figures in the D20 community. In fact Brannon just took a job as the Art Director at Bastion Press. My understanding is that during the hiring process he said that he wrote the book on art. It was only recently brought to my attention that he was talking about this adventure, "The Love of Art: Drawn to Gehenna".

I don't know if this adventure can be considered the definitive work on art, but is an adventure which examines the question of whether a piece of art can be so bad that it actually becomes evil. A question which has been thus far largely ignored by the D20 freelancing community in their quest to write the definitive Joycean adventure. (I understand that the Rappan Athuk series comes pretty close but in the end fails by actually being enjoyable to read.)

To get to the numbers. "Drawn to Gehenna" was originally designed for 4 8th characters, but is scalable for 1-12 characters of 6th-12th level. It is also our longest adventure, thus far, weighing in well over 30 pages. I think it is also the most fully realized location to be presented in any of our adventures and what a location it is. I'd like to give you a snapshot, but it's impossible to do it justice in a single sentence. In other words you're just going to have to subscribe.
