Season of Ghosts | Save Your Hometown from a Terrible Curse
Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
The town of Willowshore is an isolated but prosperous town in the Shenmen region. Each year, the area sees an increase in local activity among spirits and the undead, a period known as the Season of Ghosts. The Season ends with the Reenactment Festival, in which a few locals are carried away into the forest by locals dressed as ghosts. You and your friends are the designated abductees this year, but something goes wrong. The events that follow will see the town beset by spirits and demons alike, and reveal the truth behind the Season of Ghosts. Only your small band stands between Willowshore and annihilation. Season of Ghosts is an adventure path that will take your party from level 1 to level 12. We'll be using the Free Archetype rule from the Gamemastery Guide to give your characters a little more flavor. Players of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced hands, are welcome to join. All my games are LGBT+ friendly.

Steve has a lot of experience, good knowledge of the game, and runs AP's by the book. If you are looking for a firm and fair DM, he's your guy. Would rate 5 stars but combat tends to be on the more-difficult-than-I-bargained-for side 9.5 times out of 10

this is my first game on startplaying.games and ive had a lot of fun. GM Steve is a patient, creative, and knowledgable GM. adept at both storytelling and manipulation of the virtual tabletop. its a real personal kick to the junk that i gotta quit because its a lot of fun, but this fat boy has gotta make some money instead of gaming. Thanks Steve!!!

I've had a great first time on StartPlaying with Steve. Every time I've encountered a program hitch or couldn't find a rule he'd gladly and promptly offer help.

Steve's a great DM. He's always has everything prepared, he's great at using Foundry (and at helping others use it). He knows the rules and will follow them, but still will still allow for creativity and rule of cool when the situation calls for it. He's also very patient with beginners. If you're looking for a professional DM, he's what you're looking for.

Finally, each player will need a (free) account on forge-vtt.com to join the game.

How will character creation work
We'll be using standard character creation rules, plus the Free Archetype variant from the Gamemastery Guide. Players are encouraged to use Pathbuilder (available free online and on mobile devices) to build their characters. Common options are always available; Uncommon and Rare options will require approval, but it will most likely be given. Pregenerated characters will also be available for anyone who wants one.
