🕯️⛩️ SEASON OF GHOSTS ⛩️🕯️ | FOLK HORROR 🏮 | OPEN TO ALL 👻

Creating your character

Character creation takes place in Session 0. We will review the campaign’s themes, safety tools, and party dynamics before building characters together. This is the time to ask questions, shape concepts, and make sure the group fits well before the fog rolls in. You are welcome to arrive with a full build, a rough idea, or nothing at all. I will guide you step by step if you are new. 📚 Resources Archive of Nethys – complete PF2e rules reference: https://2e.aonprd.com/ Season of Ghosts Player’s Guide (free PDF): https://downloads.paizo.com/SeasonOfGhosts_PlayersGuide.pdf Helps you create thematic characters tied to Willowshore and its traditions.

Preparing for the session

To make sure everything runs smoothly, please have the following ready before our first session: Discord account – for voice chat and table communication. Sqyre account – I’ll provide the link, no extra setup needed. Note: When you log in, the system will assign you a silly random generated name😆 . You can change this in your profile settings. https://www.sqyre.app/ Headset and working microphone – so everyone can hear each other clearly. Quiet space – free from background noise and distractions. That’s it. No rulebooks or prior knowledge required, just bring your curiosity and be ready to play.

What Firehouse Games brings to the table

As a GM, I focus on delivering a polished, immersive experience using high-quality assets and tools. When you join this game, here’s what you can expect: 🎞️ Premium Foundry VTT modules 🎵 Ambient music, soundscapes, and triggered sound effects 🔥 Combat animations, spell effects, and dynamic lighting 🗺️ High-resolution maps with fog of war, lighting, and elevation 🛠️ Fully hosted on Forge VTT, accessible 24/7 For a system like Pathfinder 2e, I prefer to stick closely to the rules. The mechanics are masterfully designed, and I believe they create exciting, fair, and rewarding gameplay when used as written. If you enjoy a system that respects your tactical choices and offers depth at every level, you’ll feel right at home here.

Homebrew rules

How Firehouse Games creates a safe table

Before play begins, we’ll take a few minutes to talk about comfort levels and anything that might be off-limits or triggering. I use simple safety tools such as make sure everyone feels comfortable and respected. everything in need of attention can be discussed before, during or after each session. If anyone is new to Foundry VTT or Pathfinder 2e, I can also give a quick guided tour so you know what to expect. During and after each session, players are welcome to reach out privately if there’s anything they’d like adjusted. The goal is simple: a welcoming table where everyone can relax, have fun, and feel supported as we tell the story together.
