About the adventure
Season of Ghosts is a hauntingly atmospheric Pathfinder 2e adventure that begins in the quiet, isolated town of Willowshore, nestled deep within the haunted hills of Shenmen. When the ancestral festival of Radiant Night goes terribly wrong, your characters—ordinary townsfolk and unlikely heroes—must confront the sudden appearance of restless spirits, ancient curses, and strange seasonal transformations that plague the land. The campaign blends eerie folklore, spiritual mystery, and survival horror as the town becomes a battleground between the living and the dead. As the veil between worlds thins, you’ll face twisted forest beasts, vengeful ghosts, and secrets buried beneath generations of silence. Season of Ghosts is a full-level 1 to 12 campaign filled with roleplaying, exploration, and chilling encounters. Expect a richly woven tale where your choices matter and your characters’ ties to their hometown shape their destiny. Whether you're drawn to uncovering ancient secrets, protecting loved ones, or confronting your own haunted past, the spirits of Shenmen are watching... and waiting.

About me
Hi, I’m Darren Ruckle. I’ve been running tabletop RPGs for over 40 years—and professionally for the last several. I specialize in immersive, story-driven campaigns that balance tactical combat, strong character arcs, and meaningful choices. Whether it’s classic fantasy, dark intrigue, or high-stakes exploration, I build games that respond to your decisions and respect your time. I run all my games on a custom-modded Foundry VTT setup—complete with dynamic lighting, smart automations, and high-quality maps. You’ll spend less time waiting and more time adventuring. As part of my community, you’ll also get access to my Discord server, exclusive adventures through Patreon, and the opportunity to help shape upcoming stories. I’m here to create consistent, high-quality experiences for players who want more than just another dungeon crawl. If you're looking for a dependable, veteran GM who brings professionalism to the table and delivers unforgettable games week after week, you're in the right place. Let’s roll.
