A Narrative Tabletop RPG Module
Pesto Penguin Press
A complete tabletop adventure set in a dying forest kingdom. Ancient magic stirs beneath the roots, fractured noble houses vie for a crownless throne, and every choice your party makes reshapes the world around them. System-agnostic with full stat blocks for major rulesets.
What's Inside
Every element of The Verdant Crown was designed to spark imagination, reward bold choices, and make every session around the table feel legendary.
A fully realized forest kingdom with centuries of history, cultural mythology, and political intrigue. The world feels alive because it is — it changes with every session.
Play your way. Full compatibility notes for D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, Ironsworn, Cairn, and OSR systems. Your ruleset, our story — no compromises needed.
Five hand-crafted regional and dungeon maps in high-res print and digital formats. Includes GM and player-safe versions with hidden rooms and secret passages marked.
Every major character has distinct motivations, secrets, and relationships that evolve based on your party's actions. Allies can become enemies. Enemies can become allies.
Three narrative threads converge in a climactic final act shaped entirely by your decisions. No two campaigns will reach the same ending — this adventure lives and breathes.
Premium print layout with bleeds and crop marks. The digital edition is fully bookmarked, hyperlinked, screen-reader accessible, and night-mode friendly.
We're putting the finishing touches on our debut release. Stay tuned — big things are rolling your way soon. 🐧🎲
