Ghosts of Saltmarsh
Nautical adventures around a troubled fishing town.
What it’s about
Seven nautical adventures, updated for 5th edition and tied together around the town of Saltmarsh — a town caught between old fishing families, crown-backed newcomers and hidden schemers, with a threat rising from the sea beneath its local mysteries. The book adds a town gazetteer, backgrounds and a large ships-and-sea rules toolbox.
