Something moves in the darkness between the trees. You’re not alone in this cursed forest. Branches creek, rough bark scrapes and roots writhe just out of sight. Will these wretched creatures find you ready?

Deep in the heart of this corrupted forest, gnarled enemies await you in the gloom. Forces beyond mortal understanding twisted this once peaceful place and all who dwell within. Now, few who step foot under this contemptible canopy live to tell the tale.

Pre-order Glade of the Evil Oak and Forest of the Damned now!

In an Epic Encounters first, we’re beyond excited to share our guest writer for Glade of the Evil Oak and Forest of the Damned is Jason Charles Miller.

A mainstay of the tabletop industry, if you haven’t already seen one of his many actual-play appearances, you’ve certainly heard his work. An award winning voice actor and musician, Jason has contributed to Dungeons & Dragons, Critical Role, Nerdist, and Dropout (to name a few!).

Now Jason is bringing a wealth of TTRPG experience and some truly wicked ideas to Epic Encounters as our first guest writer!

„For the past few years I’ve been fascinated with Steamforged Games‘ Epic Encounters. I’ll admit, it took me a while to really dig into one of their boxes, but once I did, I was hooked! We all have so little time these days, but more people than ever are playing (or want to play) role playing games. With the time commitment of a long term campaign and scheduling so many people, how do you keep things fresh, but also have something satisfying for everyone in just one gaming session? Epic Encounters is the answer!

After playing through quite a few of them, I noticed there was one theme missing: A haunted wood! Growing up in rural Virginia, I was surrounded by forests. Right across the road from my house, the trees used to beckon to me. I grew up with local legends like The Bunnyman, Cry-baby Bridge, and don’t get me started on The Tooth Tree! Legends like this were what inspired me to write The Forest of the Damned and The Glade of the Evil Oak. They are visions of a little boy’s nightmares brought to life. Enjoy, and try not to die!“

Gather your band of fearless players and venture into the undergrowth, in two brand new D&D 5e tabletop roleplaying adventures. 

Add to your existing campaign and make traveling into its own epic side quest. Run them as individual one-shots, or together as a mini campaign that’ll have your players rooted to their seats!

Created to save experienced Game Masters time, these adventure-in-a-box sets include everything you need — from scalable stats, story hooks, and tips, to stunning battle maps, tokens, and of course, highly detailed miniatures. Although, we’re not sure ‘miniature’ is an accurate description for this Evil Oak. That’s a 100mm base!

Will you go down to the woods today?

Epic Encounters: Glade of the Evil Oak – 54,99€

Can you cut down this twisted terror, or will you end up as fertiliser? Deep in the heart of this corrupted forest, the Evil Oak awaits you in the gloom. Will you be ready? 

Deep in the heart of the forest, there is a glade with a solitary tree at its centre. You may picture a sunny scene laced with birdsong. But this is no sunlight dappled clearing, and the tree no mere sapling.

It is a twisted oak of monstrous proportions. A gnarled hand thrust from the earth, claw-like branches grasping as if to tear down the sky. A tree so corrupted by forces beyond mortal understanding, few who lay eyes on it live to tell the tale. Yet, rumours persist, shaken from shivering leaves and carried on a gloomy breeze to prickle at the skin of storytellers hunched around fires — weaving tales of wicked oak that stands sentinel over the abyss, and the souls brave enough to cleave it limb from limb…
