Beneath The Baumwood is a Through the Breach, One-Shot adventure that’s a fun nod to the old Fairy lore. It’s well suited for a Halloween celebration, capturing the spirit of the season with Tricks and Treats.

Played this with some friends to celebrate the halloween festivities. It was very detailed for the Fatemaster and the halloween theme was very prevelant. My favorite part about this One Shot was the plot twist at the end. Our group certainly feel for it as we were burning high cards to ensure we properly "completed" without realizing we were setting up our own doom.

I would certainly reccomend this to a friend -- I would note that the whole potion brewing "puzzle" is a lot of fun but does require the Fatemaster to be somewhat organized.

Read through it after playing with some friends. I liked that it offered a few different ways to seemingly 'win' and 'lose' for each challange. We definitely lost each challange and thought we were winning. And the fight at the end was fun, and the chicken legs were cool. Instantly made me want to find a Baba Yaga hut and make some terrain for Malifaux. One thing that was difficult was that there wasn't much of an indication whether you were going in the right direction or not. Rhymes/poetry was great though!

Through the Breach is a neat system that takes the rules of Malifaux and turns them into a roleplaying game. If you like halloween and swamp witches, this module is definitely for you!

This oneshot is the first adventure I read for this system. I'm really looking forward to actually playing it with my group. What was especially apparent, was the MUCH clearer structure of the adventure. It's especially nice for a Halloween evening, as your group gets stuck in a magical forest. To escape, they need to solve a couple of challenges presented to them by a misschievous forest creature... I do like the fact that there are multiple paths to the same ending. The PC's don't have to solve everything, but it does help in the end..

This one shot was so fun! I ran this for my Fated and they loved the setting, the challenge of figuring out what was happening, and the chance to use their non-Combat skills. The various callout boxes to add extra challenges or clear obstacles let me fine tune the adventure as we played, making for an overall great session.

Loved this one shot. Our group had just finished a more fighting related one (siliuid showdown) and it was great to take a break from that and do something where the win condition wasn't so clearcut. It's a perfect little adventure for your TTB party to embark on during spooky season.

Overall thoughts: This is a neat little oneshot that can be easily dropped into a campaign session to have your Fated go on a Spooky Adventure into the potentially deadly Baumwood. It's well written and illustrated meaning GM's of all experience levels could easily run this and have their players walk away happy with their experience. 5/5 Stars.

Art: Done in Wyrd's characteristic style, the illustrations and artwork throughout this One Shot are equal parts charming as they are spooky. My favourites have to be the Bedeviled Kettle (As seen on the cover) or the Little Red Riding Hood inspired character found on page 7. I think it would have been nice to maybe get a piece or two of the Braumwood based on this specific One shot, but that also lets the Fated's imagination run wild when it comes to the unfortunate situation in which they have found themselves.

Story: The flexibility of the set up for this One Shot allows GM's to easily drop this into any forest the Fated might come across during their campaign, and shouldn't last long enough to seriously delay the progress of the main story. The multitude of passages provided for the GM to read effectively set the scene of the events the Fated are witness too, and cover a range of questions they may choose to ask the NPCs encoutered in this frightful forest. The detective-style element of one of the major story points means the Fated will have to do some thinkning if they want to get the good ending, but of course a happy ending for all is entirely optional and will rarely happen in Through the Breach.
