Stardew Valley + Silent Hill F | Season of Ghosts 🏮🏳️‍🌈

Creating your character

Character Creation: • Ask about any Uncommon or Rare options. The Player Guide has changed some Uncommon options into Common. • Check 'The Current Party' notes for any variant rules used for this group. • We'll have a full Session 0 to discuss creating a cohesive group of Level 0 characters, making connections to the town the adventure is centred around. Heavily consider a named NPC to be your family member, partner, or another deep connection. • If you'd prefer, you can choose from a selection of premade characters that are suited to the adventure and setting. You can then change the name and backstory of them if you'd like to personalise further. • To tie your character to the setting and scenario, I encourage you to look at the official Player Guide for this adventure: https://downloads.paizo.com/2026SeasonofGhosts_PlayersGuide.pdf • We will use FoundryVTT or Pathbuilder to create our characters (Those that use https://pathbuilder2e.com/ will use it as reference only but its still immensely nice for planning a character.) New Joiners: • Anyone that joins later or needs to create a new character, will make a character at the party's current level or choose a premade one and level it up. • Before the next game session, I will have a voice-chat discussion with you that substitutes the Session 0 you missed. If you join just before the next session (likely within 48 hours) and I don't have enough time to talk to you, you'll skip and join the session after.

Preparing for the session

• Discord account to talk and text. • Free Sqyre account to play from a web browser: https://www.sqyre.app/ • Clear microphone with either a quiet background or at least push-to-talk. • Read the official Player Guide for this adventure (it'll provide character inspiration and a summary of the starting world): https://downloads.paizo.com/2026SeasonofGhosts_PlayersGuide.pdf • Encouraged to use a Webcam but it isn't needed. If you do, follow standard video call etiquette. I normally use an animated character to visualise myself instead of a camera. • 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.

What Somnus Grey brings to the table

🎨 Human-made artwork (No AI. Ever.) 🎵 Curated Atmospheric Soundtracks 🗺️ Official Digitally Produced Adventure ✍️ Custom Battlemaps 🎙️ Voice Acting and Voice Changer 👥 NPCs with Motivations ⚔️ Tactical Combat with Roleplay 💬 Options to Stop Combat with Negotiations 🔰 Premade Characters for Beginners ** I love this adventure.

Homebrew rules

Level 0 starting characters: To further emphasise how this isn't a story about epic heroes but a couple of villagers rising to meet the challenge, we'll start as Level 0 characters. When we first level up, we will become Level 0 Apprentice characters before levelling up to Level 1.

How Somnus Grey creates a safe table

SAFETY TOOLS ・During Session 0 we will discuss Lines and Veils and have an ongoing document for that. ・I also employ the safety tool Script Change ⏯️ by Beau Jágr Sheldon (http://briebeau.com/scriptchange), which replaces X, N, O Cards. ・A 10 minute break will occur roughly halfway through the session. ・Further details of all tool implementations are provided within the discord server. Feel free to ask any questions for clarification.
