The Blackwood Legacy is a chilling three-part adventure series for the Old Gods of Appalachia Roleplaying Game, plunging players into a deepening folk horror mystery where a family's inheritance is a terrible burden. It begins in Part 1, Bound By Blackwood Blood, with a seemingly ordinary funeral that quickly unravels into a quest to uncover ancient secrets hidden beneath a decaying manor, battling psychological dread akin to The Thing. The horror escalates in Part 2, The Spreading Corruption, as the evil's influence seeps into the very town, forcing players to confront corrupted locals. The trilogy culminates in Part 3, The Cult's Reckoning, where the reawakened cult returns to unleash "That Which Lives Beneath" and punish the PCs in a final, desperate confrontation for Appalachia's fate, as intense as the relentless dread in The Evil Dead.
