What a great beautiful book! The adventure is well written, with 600 pages to explore and read. This book also contains a monster codex for creatures to be used, as well as a magic items list. I would say behind the Drow of the underdark 3.5 this is a must have for any Dungeon master wanting to create a story with Drow.

This is literally one of the most beautiful and well-thought out books I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading through, amazing job! I can’t recommend it enough. The organization is great and it’s really to be extremely helpful to DMs (I will never say no to being helped in my session prep). Knocked it out of the park, AAW team, bravo.
Veinitti Nayr –
A human under my supervision had ‘kickstarted’ (whatever that means) a tome of words and images titled ‘Rise of the Drow’. Naturally I confiscated it, making sure none of my plans were revealed within it’s covers. Fortunately for the survival of my pet, it did not. There was, however, a lot of information on another house from a distant city. It’s rude to peak through someones personal business, but I can’t help it that they couldn’t conceal their secrets from being published, so I read on.
I’ve heard through the spiders web that this is a ‘beautiful’ book. Maybe if you’re a gross wizard you may think books can be attractive. I admit, the cover is lavish. I don’t recognize the model on the cover, they should have used me instead, I would have no problems leading my fellow drow to rise. I digress, it is ones insides that truly matter. The pictures and colours within do make for a wonderful delight that entertains the eyes. Makes me almost wish that my darkvision could pick up pigments, but my sight’s already way to superior as it is. No matter, I can use my dancing lights to fully appreciate the pretty pictures.
The one who scribed this tome must’ve had some training in the school of divination. There’s a series of events in place at the beginning of the book in what’s called an ‘adventure’. More like a nuisance in the side of this particular group of drow. Being exclude from being on the cover I feel that these drow deserve whatever is thrown there way by the hands of their lessers. I trust that their house is strong enough to survive, and if they don’t, well it’s their obligation to suffer the Queen of Spiders disappointment. However House Gullion should be well prepared for the coming infiltration and attack. You see, the wizards that had a hand in writing ‘Rise of the Drow’ also predicted consequences that may occur based on the choices of the so-called ‘adventurers’.
There’s also a generous section containing information on the surrounding lands and peoples. The details are quite extensive. If I wanted to, I could dream up different scenarios that could occur, and completely ignore the first part of the book. The diviners placed other situations (side-quest I believe you call them) that may happen in this section as well. I would almost commend them for their thoroughness of delivering possible encounters. There are backgrounds of many different non-drow included, from the surface and underworld. If it is only drow that you’re interested in (as you should be, we are fabulous) then you should be pleased with the profiles on the members of House Gullion. They are in-depth, and something I will use. It doesn’t hurt to know the information of potential rivals.
The last part includes a bestiary. Upon first glance I nearly concluded that I wouldn’t be surprised by its contents. I’m from the darkness underneath after all, and we’re use to creatures you would find exotic, but there were many surface things I was unfamiliar with. Including creatures like a ‘Tyrannosaurus Imperator’, and something called a ‘Human Noble’ (oxymorons like that bring a smile to these ravishing lips).
I believe humans of this realm will find the events within the ‘Rise of the Drow’ to be an excellent source for their games of the 5th edition role-playing game, even if I don’t grace the front cover. Come to think of it, why isn’t there a book in your realm in which you can ‘role-play’ as my kind as we fulfill our charitable destiny to change the worlds to match our superior creed? It would help you understand the hardships and complications we deal with regularly. Maybe you’d appreciate us more and not resist our plans to hang the worlds within the web of the Goddess after walking in our fine boots. Besides, it feels good to be bad.
On a side note, I was intrigued to discover that the publishers of the this book, AAW games, has something called an ‘online’ community. It’s found on something called a ‘world wide web’. Maybe my Goddess had a hand in weaving it? Anyways it appears to be very active with intelligent loyalist to drowkind… and others. I’d keep an eye on this.
Now darlings, please be my guest and purchase ‘Rise of the Drow’, for when we rise it will be the last choice you’ll freely make.
A kiss goodbye my sweet things…
Jamie McRoberts –
I heard a lot about Rise of the Drow over the years of playing Pathfinder. I missed the initial releases and the subsequent Pathfinder compilation, so I was thrilled to join the Kickstarter for the Rise of the Drow Collector’s Edition. I went in whole-hog for the BIG book, pdfs, dice, maps and even the Underworld Encounters Deck! To date, I have been very pleased with the end result, as the maps, dice, and pawns are really nice and are of top notch quality. The same could be said for the overall adventure, Rise of the Drow. The original adventure was presented at level six, but the story was later expanded to include a level one introduction. It is worth saying that this adventure probably works best for starting at level three, as the introduction can be quite taxing, to even the most veteran of players. This is a good thing, mind you, as this adventure starts in a way that feels unique and gets the players characters involved on the action from the getgo!
The adventure book is almost 600 pages long and covers a complete bestiary of creatures used in the adventure as well as setting and campaign information about Rybalka and the various nearby dwarven and drow cities, respectively. I’m reading through the adventure and it looks to hit all of the buttons of epic fantasy for those that enjoy such things. As an old school player with a lot of experience dealing with the nefarious drow of old, I jumped at the chance to bring a proper drow invasion into the Pathfinder era. Over the course of this campaign, the experience should run the gamut of what makes long running campaigns great!
I noticed a few minor errors here and there, but nothing major. The pdf is bookmarked for easy reference and the entire book has sidebars throughout. There are constant timelines and reminders alongside page numbers for the creatures or items in each encounter. Honestly, the way this is organized makes it superior to formatting used by Paizo, Kobold Press, and Frog God Games.
I’m still waiting for my final BIG book from the Kickstarter, but I feel, based on the sheer depth of material available to mine for this campaign alongside the way my players are reacting to the game, that this will be considered a classic drow saga not only by our little gaming table, but by many more tables to come! Rise of the Drow is as good as fantasy roleplaying adventures get.
Buy it, today!

I just received this in the mail. The book arrived without any damage which is a big deal to me when ordering a collector’s edition. I cracked it opened and was greeted with a spectacular looking book. Great artwork and layout, nice thick paper stock, and a solid robust book. I started reading through the adventure and it looks solid. I found some typos and font inconsistencies that were a little off putting, but it doesn’t distract too much from the overall product. My rating for this is, a triumph! Well done, lots of love and energy poured into this.

Wow. This book is awesome. Many of the accessories that can be purchased along with it are equally awesome. This book takes a deep dive into the world created and leaves me wanting to keep reading. My biggest issue with adventures and campaigns is that they seem to be written in a way that anyone can throw together some characters and complete it. This one not so much. As I read through the encounters I find myself wondering, “When are my players going to rest?” One of my pet peeves as a DM is watching players blow their resource wad on smaller fights expecting to rest whenever they run out. As I player I often find myself thinking, “When will this really get challenging?” Rise of the Drow takes your players through the adventure at a break neck pace. At first I was thinking that there was just too many potions and scrolls laying around but I soon realized that it made sense to have the resources where they were and it allowed the PC’s to push forward without crying for a short rest. You’re defending a town being attacked and destroyed, town folk are being killed and taken captive, THERE’S NO TIME TO REST! YOU’RE HEROES! I love the fast pace and the fact that there’s always someone chasing or pushing your forward and plenty of distractions in front of you to never quite be able to catch up. The need to hurry for this campaign is built in well. The random encounters that are also available aren’t always just a random mob to kill. Sometimes, it’s just something or someone interesting you run across. And sometimes they need something and can trade information for it. The depth and detail for many of the accessories are incredible. Reading through the poisons one might encounter in the underworld along with costs and how they are often used is just another cool dimension of the world. I read it took almost 10 years to produce this and it shows. The details are there. I also love that some of the other materials written for this world could offer an alternate beginning to the campaign. I may run the Stoneholme adventures as a primer just to introduce my players to the world and then roll of new characters for the extended RotD campaign for a better understanding of what to expect. Well done my friends, well done!
As a side note. The first book I got had some issues with warping. I imagine this can be expected when producing a large volume of books. I emailed some pics and some concerns and a new book was shipped right out. Super great product and great customer service to go with it!
This book is phenomenal. The colors and quality of the pages and images within are breathtaking. Glad I got the PDF so I don’t have to put the main book to extended use because it’s going to find a prime spot on one of my shelves!

It is the same thickness as all the other dnd books I own. Yet it flexes slightly in the weight of the pages. I k ow a collectors edition should be stored for the ages.

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.

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.

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!

Wow!!
My friends and I have recently started gaming again after a very long time. We began playing in the early 80s (we’re old) and this is without doubt the best module/source book/campaign setting that I’ve ever seen. Beautiful. Well thought out and total quality from artwork to writing.

This book is a huge adventure and bestiary that can stand alone or be very useful in developing your own under dark campaign. I read the reviews before purchasing, but I was still impressed when it arrived. AAW was great to work with!

Excellent value for price just based on the sheer volume of content and quality of the art. A great addition to any DMs bookshelf!

The price point really gave me hesitation on buying this book but when it was on sale at X-Mas, I took the chance and boy, was I impressed. The book is immaculate! 544 pages of easy to read, exceptionally well illustrated, and the pages themselves are a good weight in order to read without worrying about it tearing easily. I’m very much looking forward to delving into this wonderous tome!

Customer Service amd personal care. I purchased this adventure in many formats (it us amazing), and on one transaction, I got double billed and couldn’t fix it no matter how hard i tried. Next thing I get an e-mail from the head company saying they looked into it, apologizing and said they fixed it ASAP. Not only are the products top notch, but they really care and try to make things right. They now have a customer for life!

Epic isn’t a good enough description! The opening moments are fast and frantic, the storyline is complex yet fully fleshed out, and the ability to add or modify encounters to suit your group is key to keeping the pacing. I have been DM’ing this adventure for about 2 months now, and my group is loving every moment. I have been playing DnD since the late 70’s and this adventure should go down as one of the games best!

Honestly wasn’t expecting much when I ordered this book, but man, I was wrong. This book is hands down the best 5E book I have ever purchased. It includes an adventure and includes the entire needed bestiary with it.
Robert S. (verified owner) –
The physical book design is great, it’s pretty and the pages feel nice. I’ve only read through chapter 1 fully, but from what I’ve skimmed of the rest, the story and world seems pretty interesting.
Balint (verified owner) –
Truly amazing, one of a kind
Cam (verified owner) –
Seriously – just buy it.
I am not super into D&D and so I was on the fence about getting something like this. My wife really wanted some lore for our campaign with her family for the Underdark, so I bought this for her as a surprise. This book is so amazing it has single-handedly elevated my opinion of D&D.
The setting is AMAZING.
The art is AMAZING.
The quality is OUTSTANDING.
The story is AMAZING.
If you are on the fence, just spend the money if you have. This is better than ANYTHING Wizards has put out in years. If you have any interest in playing in a subterranean setting, this is the book to grab.
The PDF is a good deal, but the book is really stellar. It is such high quality construction, crystal clear art, great looking pages, and fantastic foiling. The book is 100% worth the $100 price tag.
Customer service is also fantastic. I caught the book on a sale, but needed to delay shipping due to travel for work. They got back to me same day and delayed the shipment by a week. A+ customer service.
You CANNOT go wrong with this purchase!!

Absolutely incredible book. Add up the artwork/book design, adventure, bestiary, and rich lore, and you have a product that puts WOTC to shame. $85 for this is a steal

There were some issues at first with the key delivery but, AAW games and Their team hopped on it right away. After e solved the issue on their end, they ended up helping me with an issue on the VTT side of things.
Not only did they go above and beyond, the solved an issue with another companies product faster than the company itself!!!
The book’s art, story, and maps are wonderfull! I bought the VTT Pack so it came with walled maps, a whole sound pack, and all the stat blocks.
For 80 bucks, this is a STEAL!!!!

Also confusing and I wished for a better instructional video which showed an actual live demonstration.

Foundry integration is disappointing, I mostly got the foundry version for the spells and subclasses, but the subclasses are not integrated.
Jonathan G. Nelson (store manager) –
Hi Seth,
Thanks for your feedback and for supporting our Foundry VTT content! Just to clarify: the title you picked up is a setting and adventure book, and it does not include any subclasses by design. It sounds like you might be looking for Underworld Races & Classes, Occult Secrets of the Underworld, or Drider of the Underworld—those are our player-focused books that include subclasses and spells, and they also have Foundry versions available.
If you meant to purchase one of those, feel free to reach out to us and we’ll be happy to help sort things out or recommend the right product for your needs.
Thank you again for the review!
