Season of Ghosts | A spooky mystery to unravel and town to save!
Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
Willowshore is normally a peaceful town, small and inconspicous near the misty shores of Tian Xia. It's primarily notable for having a rich set of local traditions used to keep it's residents safe from hauntings that bedevil the region. But it seems this year those ancient traditions have failed, and now it's up to you to find out why, put them right, and rescue your home from a cursed fate! Season of Ghosts is a horror/mystery adventure with a heavy roleplaying focus set in Tian Xia, Golarion's East Asia inspired region. This is a perfect adventure for players that like intrigue heavy campaigns with plenty of opportunity to develop their character's personality through roleplaying and downtime activities. The campaign will go from level 1-12. For people who have played other official Pathfinder adventures, expect a slightly slower pace as you dig into the mystery, compared to running into encounter after encounter like in Abomination Vaults or Outlaws of Alkenstar.

Zach is a truly fantastic GM, he is full of passion and creativity. He listens with enthusiasm, and strives to weave his players’ ideas into the story. And perhaps best of all, he plays like the biggest fan of their characters, cheering them on in a way that makes every moment feel special and unforgettable.

Zach is a really fun DM who keeps the pace moving in an adventure, but leaves time and space for roleplay among the players! Highly recommended

Zach is a great DM. He loves it when people get into their characters and role-play them accordingly. He's always open to any questions and concerns. He does a great job at keeping the pacing going while not rushing players simultaneously. Good for any starters in PF2e and willing to help out if you're ever stumped on character creation and/or other problems.

How to prepare
Having a mic will be important, a webcam is nice, but not required. I plan to run the game on my Discord, so an account on that will be needed. https://downloads.paizo.com/SeasonofGhosts_PlayersGuide.pdf
What I provide
I will host the game on my Discord and Foundry Virtual Table Top. I will use VTT maps designed for Foundry. I have also downloaded and tried out various quality of life modules for Foundry that enhance the experience with things like easier targeting, and animations for spells and attacks for a more immersive experience. I love enhancing the tone of a scene with appropriate music choices. You can expect some interesting and evocative choices to always help keep you as engaged and immersed in the story as possible. I am not a professional voice actor, but I do my best to give NPC's distinctive voices and speaking styles and give players something to play off of in social encounters. I believe it's fair to say I am a skilled improviser who is able to make alterations to the game on the fly, or to better work with character backstory concepts, so feel free to be as creative as you like!
Gameplay details
This campaign is a horror adventure, but any lines players give me will not be crossed. While different safety tools can and will be used, the X card will be the primary way to avoid triggering content. I will never ask why an X card is used, but I may ask players to specify what specific content caused the X card to be raised. I expect all players to be respectful of each other. Apart from noted triggering content I wil not tolerate sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ect.
Content warnings

How will character creation work
We will create a character at session 0! No experience is necessary, but feel free to come with a character already in mind! For player's familiar with PF2e, I plan to use the free Archtype rule. Pathbuilder is a great tool for building your character (and can be imported into Foundry, the VTT we will use) https://pathbuilder2e.com/app.html
