Could this work with Alhoons?

My wallet is now begging me for mercy.

So exciting!

This makes me happy and sad, just bought the old books like 2 months ago and have spent a lot of hours to set up a obsidian wiki for it. Hope it will be a lot of overlap so that work wasn't for nothing :P

You bring Mythic Ability to Dnd 5

A whole setting about fighting against an entire court of mutha fuckas that want to ice skate up hill... sign me up.

I hope there will be a Demonic Ancestry in the new Player's Guide, I've been sitting on a Tiefling Monster Hunter based on Hellboy for a while now and I want to see how I can implement him with your Heritage System.

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder. And as it beholds you, it will soon be in you too.

If i'm to blame , i regret nothing .

For those who pre-ordered it there is for download a v1.0 In your download section. It would have been great if whe got a email to be aware of the download. I found it just becouse I wanted to cancel my order becouse it was made almost a year ago without any update or a release date in plan. It's a good book but I don't think is that hard to copy paste the mails of those who preorder it then and send a mail with something like The V1. 0 is now avaible for download.

I'm making it so there is a curse where humans develop a greed and turn into dragons, gaining abilities to show that a dragon can be anything in reality

So how worth it are these books going to be for people that have no intent on switching to the 5.5 rules?

Very excited. Would love to also see a surprise PF2e translation in the stretch goals!

Fight back against corporate, woke D&D (and Star Wars) by attending VENGER CON III: Revenge of the OSR next month in Madison, WI.

Sweet! More books for my library!

I’m so pumped for this! You guys are my favorite third-party publisher! I wish I could like… pre-pledge to this kickstarter- like pre-ordering. I know the quality will be S-tier and that we’re all going to love it!

I would pay good money for a full module pdf of this!

We finally get a Dhampir NPC in official GFG content!!! Woohoo!!!

5:55 Witcher Watch!

"the party ranger has no hope" vs me, the party (gloomstalker) ranger, intentionally going into the feywild to become a twilight cleric lol

Will any of the new material work for core 5e? I dont reslly jive with 2024 5e.

I'm down with the plan, we're just finishing up a long run in the Valikan North (Frostmaiden Campaign) and the party want to fix up the Dark Duches and head south, Burach Empire and Ostoya, so any extra fleshed out campaign or adventures there in would be kindly appreciated. Specific points of interest regarding magic and a licence to cast from Erlfort (Hogwarts?) and Castalore (mysterious Wizard tower Game of Thrones) would be wicked. Thanks again, from the brother of Bocho.

Rock n Roll, I'm down with much of what you are saying here. Things to take away from the homebrew and reaching level 14 through our 2 year Grim Hollow campaign. -Deadly Damage- + cool when characters lose limbs, monsters get stunned, long lasting effects. - slows down game play, alot if overused, so best to save just for specific situations ie. character went to 0 hp, or damage between 50+ points from one source. Not for use with creatures who have less than 60hp to begin with, so mid to high tier unlock. -Curses-Tranformations-Malidictions-Plagues-Contagions-Diseases- Have been a cornerstone in our Grim Hollow Campaign, HP's always come back, but hard restrictions on lesser/greater restoration & remove curse + quest requirement to solve is an excellent mechanic. -Last Stand- Death Mechanics are very cool. Similar to the new DC20, characters fight on while making death saves. Can only do one thing, move 10ft (if possible), use an action, bonus action, on turn reaction... last words upon the last failed death save. -Expanded Insanity/Madness/Corruption- Using the three tiers of madness from the 5e DMG, expand the list of crazy zany things that happen through all 9 boxes. Retiring a character to "Loftlorian" for 5-10 game sessions the only solution to curing lost sanity. Rare item "Serum of Sanity" reduce 1 box of sanity/corruption and it's effects for 2d10 hours, upon which the box and effects return. DC 13 Wis sanity/corruption check from, touching shadowsteel/delirium/chardalyn. From going down to 0 hp and coming back. From encountering truely horrific monsters, from taking psychic damage, basically anything eldritch and HP Lovecraftian.... Phantasmal Killer spell.. hideous laughter,... specter possession etc.. -Haywire Spell Scrolls- DC 10 + spell level arcana check to use a spell scroll. Fail = fizzle, Fail by 5 = chaos magic from the wildmagic list (or new list). I'll resend via the playtest 1 dolla offa, but just had to get this out there in the moment cause I'm so stoked about the update! Oh and yes, all brand new ART from the folks who did the Monster Grimoire and the original Campaign Guide... I think it's the ones with the Spanish and Eastern European sounding names that make my favorite pieces,... maybe the artist signature below on full page work.

Grim Hollow 2: Fantasy Boogaloo

The moment you said Kickstarter I was like “yup I’m in”

You lot are ace!

would you guys ever consider making alternative versions of the book for PF2e, as I love your content but I am playing pf2e more then dnd now. Also will people who have the old version of a book get a discount off of the new one?

Make it happen Ben! I love your delivery in these videos and I love the Grimm Hollow setting. This would be an outstanding addition to an already excellent setting. I would add, while I am pleased with the 5e rule set, I don't necessarily like the direction the softer direction D&D has moved in general terms. Grimm Hollow gives me the gritty, dark, a challenging feeling I like in my game. Not everyone wants to be a fairy princess. Although I would think Grimm Hollow's fairy princess would stab you in the neck with a poisoned blade as you kiss her, awakening her from her slumber.

I would love to see a subclass about choosing mutations for yourself, or taking powers from monsters. A fleshcrafter. (Side note: I think the misfortune rogue would be great for a warlock too)

Excited for the transformations. I know one detail that bugged me a little was the Devil transformation. I understand the concept of the deal maker devil, but part of me really wanted the powerful brute like demon. I am excited to see where this goes.

Are we getting this as a printed adventure module? That would be great as I really want to try and run something in this world that was made for it.

So, I have the players guide and campaign guide. Are those now useless due to these updates books coming out? And I am thankful that there will be more. I hope the settlements get polished up with details and it’s cool to hear the lore is being refined.

Years back, I made a homebrew that was different reality that was very far from the continuity. For when it came to dragons... they were indeed wealthy but the obsession wasn't in the wealth, it was through the very people each dragon held as their very hoard themselves. Since in this world where gods or primordials had no real presence, they were the embodiment of either divinity or damnation, conquerers or saviors that pend on whom proved mightier. The dragonborns of many were the next of kin and each dragon ruled their kingdoms with either furious will or by gentle understanding. Red dragons ruled the forge mountain that stemmed deep into the very outermantle of that world, basking in metals many as they praise its own military. The green dragons ruled the forests and lead the elves and beastsmen alike, tending to the agriculture as well become hunters and bandits. The black dragons rule over the untended swamps with the grungs and plasmoids, gorgans and aboliths, worshipping only the wickedness of nature. Two white dragons rule the northern and southern peaks of this world. But both being twins they rule with stern discipline, raising barbarians, giants, trolls, orcs, all their lives until war indeed comes one day. And the ruler of the dessert lands of barren dust bowls are the worse offenders of all, they revel in unraveling ancient societys long past their reigns, using their knowledge in alchemy, the medusa's in the cover of storms hunt down the metallic dragons as a means of sport, even gem dragons were not safe from them. This world I called droyd is one that has only thing. Humans are nearly extinct, magic itself if earned must become a religious practice as a pilgrimage, to earn the favor of these rulers to weild magic. Should a dragon also die in this world, the dragon born whom proves itself in ritual combat triumphs becomes the new lord, but its a very rare.

Why would you need to make rules for 5.5E, it's supposed to be backwards compatible so you don't have to?

I make my own campaign settings but I really do love using Grim Hollow for subclasses, backgrounds, spells, transformations and the grievous wounds. I've been using a combo of Grim Hollow, Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt, Bloodpunk and Grizelda's Guide to Ghost Hunting along with my own homebrew sanity system. It's been a great tool for my own gothic horror and dark fantasy campaign so I'm really looking forward to these new books coming out.

Feel somewhat upset by this announcement. Like previous support of the Player's and Campaign Guides are lessen by it. Even more so by the DnDBeyond announcement video for the Grim Hollow: Player Pack, which has Valikan Clans content as part of it. Yet we have yet to receive the Kickstarter rewards for it.

Sounds cool! Can't wait to g3t my hands on it!

I'm worried that no mention was made of the Advanced Background System. I personally really like that system and use it in addition to the standard background as Career system. I hope the Advanced Background System doesn't get lost in the revamp. Its a really cool system that works on its own as a fun additional source of adventure hooks and earned bonuses.

You guys are Melbourne based right? do you have any places that stock your books?

I remember years back on a campaign that to this day still blows my mind on with how truly interwoven they can truly be in a setting with a unhinged dm. Lasting for two whole years we among our eight members had to investigate a southern empire that ran the largest salt mines in our very world to find out what was happening to wizards across the world. Turns out... it was a cover for the grandest of contracts involving mindflays, night hags, liches, A ELDER ABOLITH, A ancient blue dragon and not just one beholder but four in disguise as Adventurers. Even the prince was a cut throat in the mist of it all as everything was all connected to the dreamscape, a plane where certain dreams may become vivid reality. They too were involved in the dreams to take the world through a land of gold, or by pouring unto ours a near endless stream of salt through a hovering plane door. Which kept splitting into other doorways, and even a legion of maruts got involved to find the culprit at the heart of all these devilish contracts. Wizards of all life became unwilling slaves, the people unjustly thrown to prison to be harvested for nightmares, mindflays feasted to hearts content to keep Adventurers from memorizing their tasks with constant mental attacks. The damn abolith in the astral planes keeps the party from full rest with otherworldly horror. Best damn story i ever got to be apart of

Ooof. I'm debating if i really want to buy this since i haven't run Grim hollow yet...

Are we ever going to see Grimm Hollow resources designed to be compatible with other systems?

Fantastic video.

I just pitched the Aetherial Expanse campaign to my group and they're so stoked!! We start tomorrow. I bought the entire campaign back in 2022 and received the PDF's monthly. I see that later you released it as a kickstarter. Since my PDF is from before the kickstarter, I'm wondering if there was any updates or changes that I don't have? Thanks for the video! edit: I got the 500th like!

I'm obsessed with Grim Hollow as a setting, it's my favorite 5e setting by far! I am so excited to explore more of Etharis, especially my favorite region; Ostoya. Though I also can't wait to just explore the rest of the continent. This is very exciting. :)

Hell yes! 🤘🏻⚔️👹 Very excited for this!!!!

This is going to be so good!

Please go the love of god bring Grim Hollow to Foundry VTT as modules!

Well, I know what I'm spending on this Halloween season! That expanded campaign book is pretty much exactly what I've been hoping for since...well, since I got the original campaign book! (Here's hoping, perhaps, that some of those GenCon adventures make their way towards purchasability as well, and perhaps someday full adventure paths as well; both the video from two weeks ago centered around Ostoya as well as the Burach-centered campaign dealing with collecting the relics of the Gods so as to reverse the world circumstances that permit the existence of the Great Beast were very interesting.) I like the idea of suggestions as to how to play in various places along the timeline, as well, since different ages of Etharis's history really suggest like they could lead to different "moods," and one of the most common emotional reactions to the "decaying grandeur" of dark fantasy is to imagine what it would be like to see the world as it was prior to the collapse.

Just for the purpose of clarity - does this mean that these versions of the guide are essentially replacing existing guides? Are they made for the new 2024 ruleset in mind - and if so - will things such as subclasses stop being based on 2014 rules? For clients with existing player and campaign guides - are the changes possibly significant enough to warrant purchasing these new books? (asking in good faith as I currently do not own either the player nor campaign guide but I do have the Monster Grimoire)
