Season of Ghosts, A Time of Horror In Tian Xia!
Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
Welcome to the Season of Ghosts Adventure Path! Horror , mystery , intrigue, and adventure awaits in one of the most loved and well written stories in Paizo's arsenal. Season of Ghosts takes place in a rural town in Shenmen, a small haunted nation in Tian Xia, what is often known as Golarian's eastern inspired area. Willowshore is haunted by spirits and plagued by monsters in the year of 7108 ic...or is it? Something is seriously afoot in this town and the player characters for better or for worse are deep in it right from the start. Every year a 'reenactment festival' is done to celebrate the end of spring but it has another purpose. It is also held to trick evil spirits and ghosts that are believed to come from the woods during the first few weeks of summer. Your party have been chosen as the 'abductees' for this little act as the rest of the village pretends to be in hysteria over the sudden mysterious kidnapping. You are all taken to a forest clearing where you are expected to stay the night, which seems harmless enough with the lack of rain this night. The chosen organizer is to bring the 'ransom' to your location , a wonderful feast, in the morning so you may enjoy it and return to town, successfully completing the yearly act. Only come morning...he never shows and something feels wrong. Very wrong. Ancestries from Roll For Combat are able to be chosen, along with the ones from the World of Indigo Isles if desired or even the chance to play a small dragon. This wonderful adventure path also has it's own backgrounds which i highly recommend using and plenty more recommendations in the built in Player's Guide. This being said, adventurers can be from anywhere if preferred, having been welcomed instead to the town in the recent past. With the year of this setting and what is on offer in the town, a gunslinger is not recommended or the android ancestry. All other options however are just fine and fit well. So come, take part in the horror and mystery of Willowshore...if you dare. One last warning. Do not look up the adventure itself, spoilers can ruin the entire thing. And i mean the entire adventure. Also this adventure expects a lot more roleplay than other adventures and you will get to know the npcs more than others. While there is a fair amount of combat of course, there is a lot of downtime and interaction, keep that in mind.
Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Free Archetype , Gradual Ability Boost , and Ancestry Paragon are all in effect. And a reminder, this adventure is very roleplay heavy with plenty of downtime. Don't always expect combat.

Additional details
How to prepare
Just need discord and mic of course. My foundry server requires no sign up.
What I provide
I have my foundry server and will be bringing it naturally along with plenty of music chosen by me for the adventure. I do voices on the fly and try to have them match each character for the entire adventure. I do stick to the rules overall but can make exceptions as long as they aren't too crazy.
Gameplay details
I have rules right in my channel discord that need to be looked at and approved. Otherwise they are pretty simple, folks just need to respect each other and each other's time. And of course respect the DM. Mostly straight forward.
