D&D (2024) UPDATED - Grim Hollow Coming To D&D 2024 And D&D Beyond

[Egg Embry]

As announced in August, Ghostfire Gaming is coming to D&D Beyond. Ghostfire is updating Grim Hollow, their grimdark 5e fantasy setting, to Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition (2024) and making the core rulebook available via D&D Beyond. I spoke to Ghostfire Gaming COO Nick Ingamells about the project and he had this to share:

[Ghostfire Gaming] is launching our next Kickstarter on October 1st! We’re launching the complete revisions and expansions of the whole Grim Hollow line-up to be fully compatible with 2024 and we’ll have D&D Beyond support at Kickstarter again which is something we’re very excited about!
We’ll be fully remaking the Campaign Guide and Players Guide, essentially rebuilding them from the ground up to ensure the absolute best experience for players and GMs for years to come. Some annoyances that were an unfortunate necessity due to the nature of crowdfunding, such as the Transformations being split across the two books, are being resolved and we’re adding a whole bunch of new content to both books.
The Monster Grimoire will be getting a lighter touch, just enough to bring it in-line with 2024 standards so we’re not really focusing on that. Though it will also be available during the [Kickstarter].
We’re confirmed for one book so far on D&D Beyond, so we’ve chosen the Player’s Guide as it has the meat of the rules that D&D Beyond will help streamline for people. This means all the features that people have grown to love, such as Transformations, will be ingested into D&D Beyond.

[UPDATED 2024-09-30] Nick Ingamells shared this update:

Over the weekend we got some news from Wizards [of the Coast] and they’ve now confirmed us for both Campaign Guide and Players Guide [on D&D Beyond] which is wonderful news.
