The Forest Remembers (But Do We?)
The blight spreads in perfect geometric lines. Children fall ill. Crops wither overnight. And everyone knows who to blame—the witch in the woods.
But what if they're wrong?
Root of the Rot - Our newest 5E adventure
This isn't your typical fantasy adventure. There are no clear villains here, just people acting from fear and desperation. The "witch" everyone wants dead might be the only one trying to save them.
What makes this special:
Investigation-focused gameplay where clues actually matter
Moral complexity without moral relativism
Five NPCs with real motivations (not just quest dispensers)
Multiple resolution paths based on player choice
Professional 29-page layout with full-color artwork
Complete stat blocks, handouts, and scaling advice
Perfect for groups who want to explore themes of:
Environmental responsibility
The danger of scapegoating
Understanding vs. assumption
Community healing through truth
The best part? It's Pay What You Want. Good stories should be accessible to everyone.
This adventure asks:Â What if everyone's wrong? What if the monster is fear itself?
The investigation system actually works—clues feel earned through environmental storytelling and meaningful NPC interactions. Player choices genuinely impact the story, leading to dramatically different endings.
Available now on itch.io and soon on DriveThruRPG!
Sometimes the greatest heroism is found not in the swing of a sword, but in the choice to listen and understand.
