AAW GAMES PRESENTS
Rise of the Drow: Collector’s Edition

Descend from the surface into the vast Underworld in this 5-star, level-spanning 5E campaign, setting, and bestiary for characters levels 1–20. Face the machinations of dark-elf houses, uncover ancient secrets beneath the earth, and confront the growing power of the drow before their dominion spreads to the surface world.

Experience the ultimate Underdark campaign—explore Rise of the Drow: Collector’s Edition.

Rise of the Drow: After the Fall

Once the pinnacle of power in the Underworld, your city now lies in the hands of your conquerors. You play as a drow or drider fighting to survive beneath occupation, rebuild what was lost, and rise again from the shadows below.

Available as two softcover books—the Adventure and Player’s Guide—or as a limited-print hardcover collector’s edition combining both, with miniatures, soundtrack, maps, and more.

Digital version arrives in July 2026, print in October 2026.

DROW BORG

The gods are dead, their ichor seeps through the tunnels, and the spider-priests feast on what’s left. In this standalone OSR/Mörk Borg-compatible RPG, you’ll crawl through a dying Underworld of venom, shadow, and sacrilege.

Print & PDF arrives in stores 2027.
