The Malady Codex III: Diseases of the Sea

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This supplement is written by medical students with a love for tabletop roleplaying games. Inspired by the vast array of diseases, and the medieval myths that once surrounded them, we embarked on a mission; to enrich other worlds with fantastical diseases.

Deep in each civilization’s roots, there are myths, remedies, and folklore, all revolving around the ailments that affect its people. When each Dungeon Master wants to expand on the details of the societies that unfold before their very eyes, tools that spice up the process become a vital weapon. This supplement will hopefully become one of them, as DMs become inspired by the grim, epic or mundane conditions of the human body and mind.

This third installment of the Malady Codex focuses on diseases that affect those who sail the seas. With them, you can bring a fantastical sense of realism to your nautical adventures. The high seas are full of wonders and dangers, and you can showcase both with these storytelling tools.  

Do not underestimate diseases. Part of the Dungeon Master’s art is to be able to stir feelings up in their players, and few human conditions could accomplish that better. Used as a way to advance a storyline, to expand a character arc or to create conflict, the following stories can serve you well!

In this book, you'll find:

  • Diseases such as the infamous Saltmarsh's Fire, the insidious Vutrim's Treachery and the dangerous Squiditis.

  • A water variant of the trademark disease of the Malady series, the Druid's Curse.

  • Details on the origins, symptoms, and cures for all these maladies.

  • Tips on how to implement each one in your games, making your life just a bit easier.

  • A system on how to handle broken bones in your games.

  • New monsters and items to challenge and reward your players with, such as the Vampire Squid.

Give your worlds a touch of fantastical realism and watch as your players dive deep into the stories you create with these tools!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
