Hii! I'm creating a homebrew campaign in DnD based on the SGE book series, it's gonna take place about 13 years after the 6th book.

Do you guys have any ideas for adventures or plots?

I'm thinking thwy should attend school as normal untill a distruptive force breaks through the Woods like a plague, forcing our heros to go venture the Woods and its kingdoms

All ideas are welcomed and appriciated😊

I recently bought a second hand copy of the target edition of ACOT. It wasn't available where I live when it was released so I'm really glad I found it because it includes a bonus chapter called 'Friends and Foes'.>! It follows Sophie after she tells all the Woods leaders that Rhian is the true king because Robin Hood tells her to make Rhian think she's on his side. In this chapter though, the note was different. It told Sophie to meet Robin in the white tower (the room where Evelyn and Lady Gremlaine were going to trick Arthur). Sophie then finds the Sheriff's sack and enters it, where she meets the Sheriff, Robin, and Guinevere. To be honest, the chapter was mostly a recap of what had happened when the pirates attacked the School and the Sheriff saved the students, so it doesn't add much to the plot. They recap the One True King theory. The Sheriff explains how the sack was enchanted by Rafal, he mentions Dot saving Robin from jail, Guinevere talks about the birds she sings to which get Robin's attention, and all of this is explained at some other point in the book.!<

>!There was a lot of interesting world-building though. For example, Sophie notices a chest labelled 'Foxwood Steel', which gives the King of Foxwood a motive for his support for Rhian since he provides the steel that Rhian uses for his army. I think this is brought up briefly when Hort and Nicola go to Foxwood.!<

>!The sack itself is really interesting. It's split into a side for 'Friends' and a side for 'Foes'. When Sophie first enters, she's guided by the fairies she saw in Sherwood Forest into the 'Friends' side. There, everyone sees a different version of a happy place. Sophie sees her room in the School Master's tower the Sheriff sees Nottingham, Robin sees Marian's Arrow, and Guinevere sees her and Lancelot's old house. In the 'Foes' side, everyone sees their worst fears. This is where Kei and the pirates are imprisoned. At one point, Kei tries to break free from his prison but then a fairy stings him and he falls still like he's seen a ghost (I wonder what his worst fear is? Feel free to speculate about this). Sophie and the others go to this side and they all see the same thing: Tedros and the prisoners' execution. She also sees Agatha, Hort, the Coven, and all the other students looking down at the same scene because they're all in the sack too. They don't see her and the Sheriff makes sure they don't because that might change the scene they're all sharing. They're using this scene to predict and plan for the future. Then it ends with Sophie and Agatha getting a brief glimpse of each other before Sophie returns to Camelot and tries to make Rhian think she's only his side!<.

Soman leaves a few notes to explain why he cut it out, which is quite an interesting look into his writing process. I don't think it's a necessary chapter so I can see why he left it out. I did enjoy getting more SGE content though.
