From the depths of forgotten tombs to the far edges of reality, The Lichseed Trilogy is a connected series of high-stakes 5e adventures steeped in horror, mystery, and cosmic dread.
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!
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.

Our intention is to deploy shipping options that minimize risk and expense for both ourselves and our backers. That means we will not be able to offer a shipping option during this campaign that will service everyone. All shipping fees will be charged separately, AFTER the campaign, during pledge management. The prices below are estimates. Actual shipping costs will be determined after production is complete and we're gearing up to ship the books. Also, if you add additional physicalcopies of the game to your order, your shipping cost may increase.
Estimated shipping costs:
$10 USA
$20 UK
$25 Canada
$30 Australia, NZ, Ireland, Norway
If we do not offer shipping to your country, you may consider:
Backing at the Digital tier. In prior campaigns, the Digital version has been ready weeks or months before the physical books have been produced.
Waiting until the book reaches your local retailer (online or neighbourhood).
A lifelong enthusiast of all things fantastical, Yoav founded NiStar Entertainment to give the world a taste of what role-playing games can truly be. Yoav's journey into the realm of role-playing games at the tender age of 13, when a fateful encounter with a tattered rulebook and a handful of dice changed the course of his life forever.
What began as casual games with friends eventually took Yoav across North America in search of new ways to bend, break, and reshape the world of tabletop role-playing. As a Game Master, Yoav crafts legendary campaigns that are immersive and leave even the most seasoned players on the edge of their seats. His style is unorthodox: a mix of cinematic storytelling, gut-wrenching tension, tournament-style play, and meticulous detail.
His worlds are full of danger, dark humour, and mind-bending twists, designed not just to challenge players but to make them feel the stakes - to make them believe, even for a moment, that the fantasy is real. But Yoav isn't just a Game Master. As the CEO of NiStar Entertainment, he's the driving force behind the company's relentless pursuit of pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the role-playing game world. His mission is simple: to create worlds and experiences that ignite the imagination and leave players breathless. Whether it's designing homebrew monsters, crafting intricate NPCs, or creating entire campaigns from scratch, Yoav's vision is to make role-playing games a thrilling, unpredictable adventure, one that embraces the unpredictable nature of both the game and the human spirit.
