Horror on the Hill: The D&D Sandbox You've Been Missing
You can help keep these reviews coming by supporting over on Patreon: www.patreon.com/blackmantlestudios B5 Horror on the Hill is one of the most underrated TSR modules ever published, and today we're digging into why it deserves a spot on your gaming shelf. From the frontier outpost at Guido's Fort, across the River Shrill, and up into the layered wilderness, monastery, and caverns of the Hill itself, this 1983 Douglas Niles classic packs more sandbox goodness into thirty two pages than most modern mega adventures. We'll cover the structure, the hobgoblin tunnels, the red dragon at the bottom, the medieval history parallels with layered ruins and frontier monasteries, and how you can steal techniques from this module for your own worldbuilding and gaming table.
