The grim world of Etharis beckons with a new D&D 5.5E update, fully compatible with the new rules, available now on D&D Beyond.
The world of Etharis is a dark, doomed world beset by demons, eldritch terrors, and creeping shadows promising darker things. It is little wonder that Ghostfire Gaming’s campaign setting has proved popular enough to get an updated version for the 5.5E ruleset.
If you’ve never tried it before, this is the perfect time to jump in. In the Grim Hollow 2024 Bundle, you can get both the Player’s Guide and Campaign Guide at a discount, unlocking a dark new campaign setting full of 40 new subclasses, 21 new species, and hundreds of magic items.
Grim Hollow 2024 Bundle – Now On D&D Beyond
Grim Hollow is one of a couple of different dark fantasy D&D settings. And this one stands out with its “dark subclass” aesthetics. There are a ton. In the cursed world you’ll find a new class, the Monster Hunter, as well as multiple subclass options for each of D&D’s core classes. You also get a bunch of new species, including Ghostfire Gaming’s take on the dhampir. That’s something no D&D setting can seem to resist. Everyone wants to be a little bit of a vampire.
The Grim Hollow 2024 Bundle has both of the books you’ll need. You get the Grim Hollow Player’s Guide as well as the Grim Hollow Campaign Guide. And that latter one, for DMs, is chock full of secrets about the cursed world of Etharis. You get expanded lore for seven different regions, guidelines for running darker adventures, eight fully fleshed out cities, and of course, a bunch of new monsters. All updated for the D&D 5.5E or 2024 ruleset.
This means you don’t have to do any conversion work. Monsters have been adjusted, subclasses fit the actual subclass rules now. All in all, the power seems to be more in line with what you’d expect from D&D 5.5E – which is to say players are definitely stronger. But that’s not a bad thing. If you already have the Grim Hollow Guide, you may not need to upgrade/convert. But that just depends on how much work you wanna do at your table.
“The Grim Hollow: 2024 Bundle includes over 550 pages of updated content for 5th Edition, with the complete Player’s Guide and Campaign guide. Discover new species, subclasses, feats, and spells alongside a fully realized campaign setting with lore, magic items, and GM tools. Whether you’re creating a grim adventurer or running an epic campaign, this bundle provides the ultimate toolkit for dark fantasy storytelling.”
If you are looking for a new campaign setting, far from the Forgotten Realms, Etharis is a dark twist on the typical fantasy fare. It’s one of those “oooh, everything can be bleak and corrupted” type settings, so it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea.
But if you are playing with the latest ruleset for D&D, and you want your adventures a little grim? This bundle has got you covered.
