The Grand Wizards of the Coast did it again. They took a classic adventure and squirted some modern audience-sauce over it... In case you're wondering, it's Beyond the Crystal Cave from way back when.
"Hi, Fey! How This Adventure Has Evolved
In the original 1983 publication of Beyond the Crystal Cave, a mage named Porpherio (now reimagined as Porphura) created, enchanted, and tended to a private garden with his wife, Caerwyn. Under their care, the garden became steeped in magic and monsters and many Fey creatures, and was patrolled by a godlike figure called The Green Man. This updated version of the adventure retains the original garden's whimsy and magic, but places it in the Feywild as a Domain of Delight ruled over by the Gardener, an archfey. Traveling in this corner of the Feywild comes with its perks—it's always summer, everything smells lovely, and the animals talk! But it also comes with risks. Will you remember your trip? Will years have passed by the time you return?"
Sorry, maybe I'm not up with the latest sauce, but where's the problem?
All I can find for Porphura is that it's a purple fish or a fabric coloured with purple dye. It still refers to "his wife, Caerwyn"......
OK just looked up Caerwyn (sigh)!
What I was more amused by was the GM instructions for the barkburr.
"The barkburr's tactics are pretty straightforward: Attach itself to a target and inject its poison, turning the target into a tree instantaneously. Once the target has lignified (a word that I totally knew before discovering this monster), it can only be freed using Greater Restoration or another similar effect.
Use the barkburr to inspire fear in the party. Even in a world where dragons can roast you alive, the threat of being transfigured into bark would be uniquely terrifying. To avoid the risk of accidentally turning half of the party into trees, you may want to focus on one target—preferably one with high Constitution saving throws or one who has disrupted the forest—and consistently keep that character under the threat of petrification."
So are we getting a TPK or not?
Eh. Hollywoods been genderswapping characters for probably more than half a century now. Difference now it is more blatantly an agenda move than just marketing being its usual special brand of stupid. "Women wont go see a movie of there are no women in it!"
