    A bloody good start in adventurous life! For OSE and all B/X look alikes

    Wait, the Merry Mushmen are releasing adventures now?

    Well, we want to be releasing the things we like. And we really liked Joseph
    R. LewisrCO Ragged Hollow Nightmare. Joe published it several years ago as part of his large Dungeon Age offering. This original version was rated among The Best by Bryce Lynch of Tenfootpole. We thought an expanded, OSR-ised, prettified edition would be really cool. So we enlisted the help of the
    perfect artist to give life to spooky Ragged Hollow and its strange surroundings: Li-An (whose work yourCOll recognise if yourCOre a reader of KNOCK!)
    and we went to work to make the best module we could.

    The result is what werCOre asking you to help make a reality. We believe we put together a great adventure module, a solid introduction to old-school gaming for both players and gamemasters. And for the veterans among us, it also makes an excellent, full-fledged campaign starter.


    So whatrCOs this Nightmare thing about?
    -------------------------------------

    Nightmare over Ragged Hollow is a sandbox adventure centred around a quaint town at the edge of the kingdom. But however quiet life in Ragged Hollow is, the town lies between places where you shouldnrCOt be traveling alone. Places like Gloam Wood (rCLA witch or two lurk there!rCY), the Bleak Mountains (rCLIrCOm told
    there are bugbears...rCY) and their infamous Mount Mourn (rCLHome, they say, to cursed Dwarven ruinsrCY), not to forget the Wailing Hills (rCLBandits on every road!rCY). ThererCOs even a haunted house by the river ("That mad inventor riddled
    it with traps!"). But only when an impenetrable dome of golden light materialises around the Temple of Halcyon (rCLHey, my kids go to school there!rCY)
    do things really get out of hand. Some selfless heroes (or, failing that, a bunch of greedy nerCOer-do-wells) should really get involved.
