Straight from the garage of Chris's mom—and 1981—comes this homegrown, truly old school adventure of malign druids, twisted tree demons, evil blink dogs, arboreal gelatinous cubes, magical pecans and certain death.

This adventure is set in the van Richten estate, a free-floating realm in the Mists of Ravenloft.
