The Lichseed Trilogy is a connected series of high-stakes 5e adventures steeped in horror, mystery, and cosmic dread.
On this project, I worked with the excellent Yoav Niv at NiStar Entertainment handling both layout and cartography duties! Layout evoking the early 80s with 5E rules! Old and new harmonise!
There are two ways of backing the project: Kickstarter or Backerkit! Choose your weapon!
The Lichseed Trilogy is a three-part adventure series for the fifth edition of the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop roleplaying game, compatible with both the 2014 and 2024 rulesets. Book I is already written and published. With your support, we can bring Books II and III of the Lichseed Trilogy to life!
What’s In The Box
A failed act of forbidden magic has awakened the Lichseed, a parasitic power that spreads through soil, flesh, and stone. Its corruption twists beasts into horrors, ruins into traps, and dreams into nightmares. From the first bloom to the last withered root, the fate of entire worlds now hangs in the balance.
Book One – Isle of the Sunken Mage
A wizard’s failed lichdom unleashes the Lichseed—a parasitic bloom that warps land, beast, and mind. Explore cursed ruins. Battle horrors born of the bloom. Unearth grim truths. Already published in 5e and Shadowdark!
Book Two – The Corpse in the Void
Corpse in the Void is a cosmic dark fantasy adventure set upon the drifting body of a dead god, suspended in the endless Void. Inside you’ll find background lore, DM guidance, deadly surface encounters, surreal interior zones, biomechanical horrors, corrupted dwarven survivors, alien technology, forbidden magic, and escalating psychic terror. As the second chapter in the Lichseed Trilogy, it continues the story begun in Isle of the Sunken Mage but can also be adapted as a standalone 5th Edition adventure for groups that want a strange, lethal, high-concept descent into the unknown, compatible with both the 2014 and 2024 rulesets.
Book Three – The Root Beyond Worlds
The Root Beyond Worlds is a brutal infernal break-in adventure set across a drifting floe of cursed ice, a frozen wasteland haunted by the damned, and the black pyramid of Set itself. Inside you’ll find planar hazards, deadly patrols, soul-breaking environmental effects, treacherous infiltration challenges, trapped halls, infernal guardians, Egyptian-inspired dungeon chambers, and a final struggle to shatter the soul-binding ledger at the heart of the pyramid. As the third chapter in the Lichseed Trilogy, this adventure brings the saga into Hell itself, where cunning, stealth, negotiation, and nerve matter more than brute force. It can also be adapted as a standalone 5th Edition adventure for groups that want a lethal, high-stakes descent into an alien infernal stronghold, compatible with both the 2014 and 2024 rulesets.
