Epic Encounters Forest of the Damned

Something stirs in the darkness between the trees—you are not alone in this cursed forest. Branches creak, bark scrapes, and unseen roots twist beneath your feet as an ancient, unnatural presence presses in from all sides. Every step feels wrong, as if the forest itself is watching and waiting, turning a simple journey into a tense and haunting ordeal.

Forest of the Damned, an Epic Encounters set by guest writer Jason Charles Miller, is a 5e-compatible adventure-in-a-box that’s ready to run right away. Use it as a standalone encounter, drop it into an existing campaign, or pair it with Glade of the Evil Oak for a gripping mini-campaign. Inside, you’ll find a fully statted, scalable encounter with story hooks and tips, a double-sided battle map, and 17 highly detailed miniatures—everything you need to bring this deadly woodland to life.
