As some of our most ardent supporters we wanted to let you experience the enthralling first chapter of the largest adventure we have ever created before anyone else.

Our team is proud of the adventure we have created and the level of craftsmanship that is present throughout. We hope that you will be delighted and amazed by the narrative which unfolds within the Raventree Estate.
This early access preview of the adventure allows us to share the opening segment of the adventure before the full release date. We want to make sure that the premise, exposition, and initial narrative hook of the adventure work as well as possible for our full release. This preview allows us to collect feedback from fellow Gamemasters to identify any flaws or opportunities to strengthen that opening. We hope that you will read, explore, and survey the materials which are included in the playtest and share feedback with us about your initial reactions, questions, and areas of confusion.
We should emphasize that A House Divided is an expansive narrative. The content included in the playtest as a whole represents 10-15% of the overall adventure scope. It is intended to whet your appetite for the full adventure that will be releasing later this month. Thank you once again for your support and encouragement which makes it possible for us to continue developing Foundry Virtual Tabletop and first-party adventure content like this.
