Campaigning in Geoff is for DMs that want a campaign where the characters rise up to liberate a nation oppressed by giants. Geoff has fallen, its armies destroyed or fled, and its people enslaved. The slaves living in Geoff are on borrowed time, the giants and humanoids keep them around as long as the food they produce is more than the meat on their body is worth. Although there are rebel camps in Geoff, they are few, small, and ill equipped. Characters adventuring deep in this land can expect no place to sell their loot or resupply (except from scavenging the dead). Characters can either be Geoff rebels who survived the fall of Geoff, or part of an army of liberation from the surrounding countries working out of the newly reclaimed city of Hochoch.
