D&D Ghosts of Saltmarsh
Adventure on the high Seas
Explore the waves above and the fathoms below in these watery
adventures for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.
Nestled on the coast of the Azure Sea is Saltmarsh, a sleepy fishing
village that sits on the precipice of destruction. Smugglers guide
their ships to hidden coves, willing to slit the throat of anyone
foolhardy enough to cross their path. Cruel sahuagin gather beneath the
waves, plotting to sweep away coastal cities. Drowned sailors stir to
unnatural life, animated by dark magic and sent forth in search of
revenge. The cult of a forbidden god extends its reach outward from a
decaying port, hungry for fresh victims and willing recruits. While
Saltmarsh slumbers, the evils that seek to plunder it grow stronger.
Heroes must arise to keep the waves safe!
Ghosts of Saltmarsh combines some of the most popular classic
adventures from the first edition of Dungeons & Dragons including
the classic ‘U’ series and some of the best nautical adventures from
Dungeon magazine:
- The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh
- Danger at Dunwater
- The Final Enemy
- Salvage Operation
- Isle of the Abbey
- Tammeraut’s Fate
- The Styes
All adventures have been faithfully adapted to the fifth edition rules
of Dungeons & Dragons. Furthermore, this book includes details on
the port town of Saltmarsh, as well as plenty of hooks to kick-off each
adventure. Play through each story in a seafaring campaign leading
characters from level 1 through level 12, or pull out sections to place
in ongoing campaigns in any setting. The appendices also cover
mechanics for ship-to-ship combat, new magic items, monsters, and more!
“The Saltmarsh series consistently ranks as one of the most popular
classic D&D adventures,” said Mike Mearls, franchise creative
director of D&D. “With its ties to ocean-based adventuring, it was
an obvious step to augment it with additional sea-based adventures and
a robust set of rules for managing a nautical campaign.”
