NEW RELEASE! A Cure for Asadwyn
New from Gethsemane Games: A CURE FOR ASADWYN is an adventure for the Fantasy AGE RPG created under the Age Creators Alliance 3rd Party Content Licence.
On the edge of the Wyrdwood, the village of Penshaw was raided last night. Murderous redcaps emerged from the Wyrdwood for the first time in a decade and burned several barns and fields before the villagers, aided by their pumpkin-headed guardian construct, could drive them back into the Wyrdwood. Unfortunately, the guardian construct was destroyed in the effort, leaving the village vulnerable to future raids.
The villagers thought they could rely on the aid of Asadwyn, a witch and wise woman who lives nearby in the Wyrdwood. However, Asadwyn has fallen victim to some strange blight. Her skin has become marked with painful sores and blisters, and just as her skin has grown irritable, so has she. Once a reclusive and gentle being, Asadwyn is becoming increasingly aggressive.
Now, a small band of locals and adventurers must visit Appleseed, the gardening gnome, the only person able to build a replacement for the pumpkin-headed guardian construct, in his home in the mysterious and dangerous Wyrdwood, and hope that he can help to find relief for the blight plaguing Asadwyn.
Can the party find Appleseed and pay the price for his aid by finding the components he needs to make “A Cure for Asadwyn”.
Suitable for 3-6 Fantasy AGE Characters of levels 1-2

History
Gethsemane Games began as a side project of Forever In Black, but in 2016 I split off so I could dedicate more time to developing the books and games that I was working on. Since then, Gethsemane Games has been working flat out to bring you more games and supplements for your table and has been working alongside games club "Friendly Fire!" who help us playtest most of our material.
About Our Products
Our tabletop RPGs cover a wide range of genres, from Horror to Fantasy, Science Fiction and Post Apocalyptic Survival but all have something of a dark edge to them. We recommend our games for mature players and suggest 14+ on most of our ranges or 16+ on the "Haunts and Horrors" range.
We prefer our horror on the gothic, supernatural, side and this comes across in many of our products, but especially in "Haunts and Horrors" and "Entropy Effect".
Bryan F Irving is the lead designer of our ranges but often works with other freelance writers and artists, in particular M R McGowan (Who co-authors the Haunt and Horrors range and will take the lead on some of the scenarios in that range) and Jenni Saveall (Who is lead artist on the "Pandora's Wake" and "Entropy Effect" range.
In addition to RPGs and Tabletop Wargames, Gethsemane Games also publishes the fiction of Bryan F Irving, which inspired many of our games and which is set in the worlds we bring to your tabletop.
