About the adventure

You wake in a thick fog, hearing screams from your town. The festival to ward off monsters went terribly wrong... Investigate the strange curse that has fallen upon your land. Overcome evil spirits, sinister fiends, and frightening curses. Can you talk them down or will you have to brandish your steel? Between such troubles, you still have a life to live. Your friends, family, and foes are going through the same hardships. How do you fill each day? Toil away at work? Soak in the bathhouse? Enjoy the theatre? Fall in love? You will face a whole year of troubles in this Asian inspired Horror campaign. Each season reveals new issues to overcome and new opportunities to grasp. Do you have what it takes or will you just be another poor lost soul in the fog? ⌚ Posting and Pacing Details: • At least 1-2 GM gameplay posts per day, with one being a long post.

Put simply, Somnus is one of my all time favorite GMs. Before I joined the first of the three games I now play with them my pf2e knowledge was limited to say the least. I knew next to nothing about the system and how to build a "functional" character. Between their extensive knowledge and extreme patience they've made the learning process easy, engaging and beyond welcoming. Coming from a long background of d&d, I'd never imagined the transition through systems could be so smooth. The tags StartPlaying allows me to assign to this review can't cover the scope of everything I appreciate about their games. Foundry is an incredible medium, and Somnus utilizes it with expertise I've not seen anywhere else. Their music selection and narrative skills set the scene and tone absolutely perfectly each and every time. The list goes on. The long and short of it is, I couldn't recommend Somnus enough. They're the best, their server community is full of amazing people, and the games I play with them have become an undeniable highlight to my week. GM skills so good, they'll make your brain explode. Hwah.

Somnus is an absolutely incredible GM and a joy to play with. They put so much effort into setting the scene, RP-ing NPCs and doing their voices, which is why I'm feeling so immersed into the world and setting every single time. Somnus is also very talented at using Foundry and made the onboarding process a total breeze, even for a total newbie to the system and VTT like me. I'm currently playing in three of their games and I still wish it were more.

Somnus has been a wonderful DM for our group, they accommodate for our varying experience levels with DND 5e, and lets us be creative in all aspects of play. They developed an exciting world to play in as well. We've gotten everything from combat, investigating, sneaking around, and negotiating with NPCs during our sessions so far. We intend to keep playing with them as our DM for a long time. Our initial starting quest has quickly developed into an exciting adventure involving all of these things. I would absolutely recommend Somnus as a DM for any group looking to play DND, Pathfinder, or several other settings they run.

Somnus has been such an incredible GM for me. I am a relative newbie to RPGs, having only had a little bit of experience with DnD5e previously. I have now been playing in Season of Ghosts PF2e for five months or so, and it's been a fantastic introduction to Pathfinder. From session 0 on, Somnus has always been patient, supportive, and encouraging. They do a wonderful job of empowering players to make decisions, while helping educate us on what our options are. Somnus’ characters are engaging, memorable, and the situations evolve organically with every choice we players make. I’ve enjoyed having Somnus as a GM so much that I’m playing in a second game with them as well. Somnus pays particular attention to making sure that every player has a moment to shine, which makes for a fun, inclusive vibe. I can't recommend Somnus enough!

Somus is a really helpful Gm, I am a new player to pathfinder and they was a great help in guiding me towards a character I would like to play and help me understand the concepts in the game. They are also great at giving each character the time needed to shine

Character creation
Creating your character

• During Session Week 0 we'll establish our safety tools, lines/veils, and understand what you enjoy exploring in a game. • We will then create Level 1 characters, using the standard rules with campaign frame adjustments. • To tie your character to the setting and scenario, I encourage you to look at the official Player Guide for this adventure (this adventure is for Pathfinder2e, just ignore any rules text): https://downloads.paizo.com/SeasonofGhosts_PlayersGuide.pdf • We will then collaborate as we add extra points of interest to a map! • Session Week 1 is when we officially start play.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

• Free Demiplane account: https://app.demiplane.com/home (This will hold your character sheet) • Discord account (For everything else: dice rolls, chatting, roleplay) • After joining the game, view the Prep Materials and follow any other instructions. • After joining my discord server, read and click on the 📕 to agree to my community code of conduct otherwise you cannot join the game.
