Saving Saxham

The village of Saxham has been struck by a terrible curse! Or perhaps it’s being terrorized by demons, ghosts, and the undead? Or… was there a terrible storm? Maybe? No one seems to know exactly what happened here. But the villagers are terrified, bizarre monsters roam the forest, and strange lights strike the woods every night at midnight…

REVIEWS

"Saving Saxham is a fantastic, slightly weird fantasy-ish/dark fantasy module that provides a truly tricky moral conundrum, a clever story and evocative prose. This feels like a module I’d run in my home-game; it is clever, smart, and yes, fun. It has a very distinct narrative voice and is more creative than a TON of modules I’ve read. This is a true winner, and as a person, I LOVE it." --Thilo G.

"There is something wonderous and unique about Saving Saxham...it all feels very much like a twisted fairy tale. Saving Saxham is yet another beacon of light and hope in a time where a game of imagination and fantasy has never been more commodified, bland, generic and trite. 7 out of 10." --PrinceofNothing

"Good magic, good NPC’s, good information transfer (mostly) and a setup that’s not the same as every other adventure under the sun. It’s not perfect, but it’s a damn sight better than most 5e. I’d run it." --Bryce Lynch
