Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords' Summer Blockbuster series! We're kicking off the summer with a cult favorite that did quite well for itself at the box office despite not busting any blocks: Holes. The warden is a phenomenal darklord, and the source material is already chockablock with curses and dark vengeance from beyond the grave despite being 90% realistic fiction, but how do you get a satisfying Holes adventure if none of your PCs have a no-good pig-stealing great-great-grandfather? Along with that question, topics discussed include:

• The undeniable advantage that D&D has in allowing the PCs to discover the backstory, which could be superfluous to playing a basic Holes adventure but is critical for enjoying it;
• How to have a prison break adventure if the warden is a darklord and can just close the borders whenever she feels like it;
• A use, at long last, for your character's proficiency in cook's utensils;
• In-depth discussion of an intense 2e Ravenloft prison break module, with ideas to either make Holes more like that module (for your hardcore roleplayers) or to make that adventure more like Holes (for your players who don't enjoy being punched in the face);
• and more!
