Season of Ghosts
Asian themed horror. More combat heavy then the players guide says.
About the adventure
Something strange is happening to your hometown of Willowshore! Nestled on the banks of a river winding through the legendary Specterwood in Tian Xia’s haunted land of Shenmen, the people of Willowshore are no strangers to supernatural threat, but the danger that comes to town on the first day of summer is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Over the four seasons to come, you and your fellow home-grown heroes must face evil spirits, sinister fiends, and frightening curses, lest the town of Willowshore succumb to the Season of Ghosts! The remote town of Willowshore is nestled on the banks of the Ceiba River. Founded by religious pilgrims and host for a time to a bustling lumber business, in the first few years after the onset of the Age of Lost Omens, Willowshore’s fate looks grim. Already faced with fears about political upheaval due to the collapse of the empire of Lung Wa, and fearful of rumors that monsters from the deeper reaches of Shenmen are preparing to seize control of the land, Willowshore is ill prepared for a horrific new curse about to engulf the region. In the Season of Ghosts Adventure Path, each player character calls Willowshore their home—be it one their family has lived in for generations or a place they’ve only recently arrived at. When your group awakens on the first day of summer in the nearby woods, what at first seems like the aftermath of a night spent too energetically during a festival reveals itself to be something much more sinister. Wildlife is acting strange and aggressive. Thick fog has descended upon the region. And at night... things get worse. Can you help your hometown escape from this sinister curse? Or are you and your homes equally doomed to fall into the clutches of sinister forces in this horror-themed Adventure Path set in the heart of the continent of Tian Xia? Inside the Season of Ghosts Player’s Guide, you’ll find player-friendly, spoiler-free information and tips to help you make an exciting new character perfect for the Season of Ghosts Adventure Path, which is set just over a hundred years in the past, not long after the onset of the Age of Lost Omens itself!

About me
Hi, my name’s Ray. I’m passionate about TTRPGs and love introducing new players to different systems and games. I started as a GM by running games for my kids, and soon my spouse and friends joined in. Now, I run games for players from all over the world.

Ray is absolutely amazing as a GM, they are easily my favorite I've ever had the privelege of playing under (and I've played with quite a few in my time). They are very friendly and willing to work with their players, and they're very well practiced in keeping a game running well even under the chaos we caused #^-^#
Ray has been an amazing GM to play with. They are welcoming and friendly as well as very accommodating. I've had a few times where payments where a bit late or didn't quite work out and Ray was patient and worked something out with me. As for the games, Ray is very beginner friendly and helps people figure out the system. Additionally they don't back down to address a problem. We have had players who were either problematic or did not fit into the group and Ray addressed it accordingly which is tough for any GM to do. In summary Ray has been a blast playing with and knew how to handle things even when things got messy whether it was IRL or in-game.
