The Parthenogenesis of Hungry Hollow + PDF

Spring has taken to a cold start.

the morning fog clinging on well into the afternoon, though Hungry Hollow is a quiet town and most folks don't seem to mind

With spring comes the birth of new life, something well celebrated in a town propped up by its farms. But Hungry Hollow is changing, its citizens consorting to bring about something... new.

Something Rotten.

About the Book:

The Parthenogenesis of Hungry Hollow is the first hardback adventure module for Liminal Horror. Something strange is happening in Hungry Hollow, seemingly centered around the upcoming birth of its newest resident. Dive into the town, make acquaintance with its inhabitants, and unravel the horrid truth that lies buzzing just beneath the surface.

The players take on the role of Investigators attempting to figure out what has been going on in Hungry Hollow (people have gone missing, some return changed, and rumors of dangerous Resonant Artifacts in the area). Brea, a former Investigator, had recently moved back to her home town of Hungry Hollow but all communication from her has ceased.
