{"product_id":"under-hollow-hills","title":"Under Hollow Hills","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThere is a traveling circus under the Hollow Hills.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt travels by moonlight, small wagons creaking in the night silence. It travels lost roads, where fireflies and whisps hover to watch it pass, where goblins peer down from their treebranch perches, and owls. It travels the night world and the day world, fairyland and the living earth, and places otherwise, and no border can keep it. It has mysteries to pose, drama to perform, it has music, juggling, acts of death-defying peril, pratfall comedy. It has dangerous secrets to tell.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou are \u003cstrong\u003eits performers, its ringmaster, its clowns, its sideshow, its stars.\u003c\/strong\u003e You’re its crew, rigging the tents, mending the costumes, planning the show, selling t-shirts and popcorn. You’re \u003cstrong\u003efairy kind and human kind.\u003c\/strong\u003e You’re the circus, and the circus is you. The circus is a leveler of all. You’re not subject to the usual games of status and wealth, hierarchy and social value, that society plays. To you a human child’s birthday party in a vacant lot is the same as a command performance for the great Crowned Heads of fairyland. (\u003cem\u003eAnd more like stuffed heads\u003c\/em\u003e, saith the Hob.) You \u003cstrong\u003etravel through fairyland and the mortal world,\u003c\/strong\u003e performing as you choose. Wherever you perform, you change: you change the seasons, you change the fortunes of those you perform for, you change their hearts. You change yourselves. This is the game: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ewe change\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder Hollow Hills is a tabletop roleplaying game. It’s \u003cstrong\u003ePowered by the Apocalypse,\u003c\/strong\u003e which in this case means that it’s got playbooks for the players, a system of moves based on rolling and summing two dice, a GM, and a “play to find out” approach to prep and plotting. It’s good for \u003cstrong\u003esmall groups and large groups,\u003c\/strong\u003e people who’ve never played a roleplaying game before and people who’ve played a hundred. It’s designed to be literary, over cinematic. It loves metaphor and wordplay. It’s episodic like a series of short stories, not like a TV show, or sometimes like a long welcoming rambling novel. It’s designed for \u003cstrong\u003edrama, action, romance, and comedy,\u003c\/strong\u003e both in the circus rings and outside of them. Your characters are \u003cstrong\u003ewarm, funny, sad, and whimsical.\u003c\/strong\u003e They have their time on the stage, their time in the chorus, their solos, their encores. Their tragedies, their great accomplishments, their small victories. Sometimes they come, sometimes they go. They \u003cstrong\u003echange with the seasons and with the beating of their own hearts.\u003c\/strong\u003e You might even fall in love with them. The GM is the game’s first and most important audience. As GM, it’s your job to be entertained. Throw roses, throw tomatoes, and call out for more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54403784081701,"sku":"9780976904281","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/0302\/1093\/files\/Untitled-1_1_7_1_6edd7322-f267-4a67-b629-545f332fce53.jpg?v=1793961325","url":"https:\/\/tiananycolefunyllc.store\/products\/under-hollow-hills","provider":"TIANANYCOLEFUNYLLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
