Rise of the Drow – D&D 5E Underdark Campaign

Rise of the Drow is AAW Games’ best-selling D&D 5E Underdark campaign. This level-spanning mega-adventure combines a complete campaign setting and bestiary for characters of levels 1–15, with exploration that can extend play to level 20. The journey begins on the surface and descends into a vast subterranean world of drow houses, dark-elf cities, driders, ancient secrets, and dangerous choices. A Pathfinder First Edition version is also available.

Tonight, a ceremony of light is taking place on the surface.

Meanwhile, a world away in the city of spiders, a drow matron solidifies a pact with soul-consuming entities who require great sacrifices in trade for unimaginable power.

Drow eyes turn to the surface.

Praise For Rise of the Drow

  • nietogustavo

    Didn’t believe the hype, became a believer!

    So first of all, I was amazed at the outstanding level of service, the book was shipped with a custom-for-the-book box that hugs and protects the book during S&H. Mr. Nelson emailed me immediately after I had some questions, very courteous, prompt and professional.

    And lastly, the book itself is a gem of RPG material!

  • Eric S.

    Absolutely fantastic! This book is amazing, the price was well worth it, and the free gift was the cherry on top. Ordering online was super easy, shipping was quick, and the book is exactly what I expected it to be.

  • Jay

    I have to say this book is higher quality and significantly better than anything Wizard’s has put out by a pretty wide margin. I bought this and Out of the Abyss together and ended up giving away OotA because it’s hot garbage and has zero originality.

    Rise of the Drow has a bunch of really good ideas to work with to create original encounters versus the WOTC style of yet another random encounter from the Monster Manual with a vanilla description that you’ve got to throw out and put in a lot of effort replacing.
