About the adventure
Season of Ghosts is a four part adventure with themes of far eastern storytelling and folklore. Expect eerie monsters and situations while you piece together the mystery of the curse placed on the remote logging town of Willowshore. Protect the town, get to know your neighbors, and maybe discover some of their secrets while you search for a way to dispel the curse. The adventure is well suited to both new and experienced players, so all are welcome to join.

About me
Hi! I'm Cloud Draxie, GM, artist, and overall tabletop and board game enthusiast. As a GM and as player, I value the fun of everyone at the table and support the cooperative nature of TTRPGs. I require my entire table to be LGBTQ+ friendly. I also require that the party be a team in and out of character, meaning there is normally no PvP or stealing from other PCs in my games. My main games are Pathfinder 2nd edition and Upwind, but I like to learn and try out new games too. I enjoy telling stories with my players and challenging them with tough but winnable encounters. I learned game master largely in online settings, so I am quite comfortable running sessions over voice chat and on virtual tabletops, namely Discord and Foundry VTT. Because I always like to have a unique representation of my own characters and understand that some of my players feel the same, I can offer to draw personal little portraits to be used as player tokens in my games that last more than a few sessions.

Creating your character
Characters start at 1st level using standard character creation rules. Options, especially backgrounds, from the player's guide are encouraged. I strongly recommend players read this guide before working on a character. The Tian Xia Character Guide may be useful to players as well. Third party options are available.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Discord will be used for voice chat and as the primary way to communicate outside of sessions. The server will be hosted on Forge. I suggest players talk with each other and organize the party before deciding on character options. I highly suggest that players do not look up information about this campaign or the events/places surrounding it to avoid spoiling it for themselves or other players. Players aware of the events surrounding this adventure are still welcome, but you must let others experience it how they would like. The player's guide and Tian Xia Character and World Guides provides all the information you need about Willowshore and Tian Xia.
What Cloud Draxie brings to the table
I will provide all the VTT, maps, music, and various materials needed to play. I try to balance RP and combat as the party prefers. I also balance combat to show off the strength of characters while using challenging encounters to test player strategies. I default to Rules as Written/Intended unless a specific rule gets in the way.
Homebrew rules
Variant rules will be discussed before the first session. Typically I run games with Free Archetype, but with thematic restrictions.

How Cloud Draxie creates a safe table
Session 0, where we can clarify Lines and Veils and rules of play, will be held either as a group or as a private discussion. X cards are digital via Foundry. I'm available to talk outside of games at most times.
