A living 5E world shaped by real players, real campaigns, and real consequences. Coming to Kickstarter 4/14/26.
As reality-tearing portals spread and the heavens fall silent, the demon Kryphos rises once more. His followers are consumed by despair, believing the only way to end suffering is to end life itself.
This spreading corruption, known as The Great Silence, threatens to erase all hope and grant Kryphos the power to steal divine authority as his own. The land of Axis stands at the precipice — and the choices made at every table will determine what survives.
Compatible with both 5E (2014) and 5E (2024), The Axis Saga is a 300+ page sourcebook of dark, horror-tinged, high-stakes fantasy. Designed for both high-combat and high-roleplay styles, it contains everything a Game Master needs to run deeply immersive long-term campaigns or modular shorter adventures.
Axis was not designed in isolation. It was played into existence.
Every table becomes canon at their own scale.
The continent of Axis is caught between powers that cannot coexist. Every campaign begins with a choice of where to stand.
The established order. Authority, structure, and the weight of civilization pressing down on a world in crisis. The Empire holds the Inquisition, commands the factions, and claims divine right — but as the heavens fall silent, even the mightiest institutions begin to crack.
Untamed and ancient. The Wyld is the world before borders, before thrones, before law. As reality-tearing portals spread across the continent, primal forces surge through the cracks. Not every power in Axis answers to a crown.
A spreading corruption born of despair. The Great Silence does not conquer with armies — it consumes from within, turning hope to ash and faith to doubt. Those who fall under its influence believe the only mercy left is oblivion. Will your characters resist, or succumb?
Everything a Game Master needs to bring Axis to life at their table.
An entirely new class alongside fresh subclasses, feats, items, and playable species to expand your character creation.
