About the adventure
The small town of Willowshore has a big problem—it's cursed! When a group of heroes awaken in the woods after a festival to usher out the last day of spring and welcome in the summer—a time known locally as the "season of ghosts," they find their hometown has been invaded by monsters, strange weather, and horrifying ghosts. Yet theses manifestations of the ancient evil that threatens Willowshore are nothing compared to the harrowing secrets awaiting discovery in Season of Ghosts.

About me
Hey! I’m Rane — a full-time Game Master and owner of The Death Save Society with a deep love for story-driven, character-focused tabletop RPGs. I’ve been running games for years across a wide range of systems, but no matter the ruleset, my focus is always the same: creating immersive worlds where player choices matter and characters are allowed to grow, fail, and shine. I specialize in cinematic, roleplay-forward campaigns that balance emotional storytelling with meaningful combat and player agency. I love weaving character backstories into the core narrative, designing memorable NPCs, and building moments that feel earned — whether that’s a quiet campfire conversation, a tense moral dilemma, or a high-stakes showdown that changes the world. My tables are welcoming, collaborative, and beginner-friendly. You don’t need to be an expert or a voice actor to play in my games — just someone who’s excited to engage with the story and respect the people at the table. I use safety tools, encourage open communication, and prioritize making sure everyone feels comfortable and included. Outside of the table, I run multiple long-form campaigns, one-shots, and live-play games, and I’m always experimenting with new ideas, settings, and systems. I love building worlds that feel alive and evolving, and I treat every campaign as a shared creative project between myself and my players. If you’re looking for a game where your character matters, your choices have weight, and the story remembers you, I’d love to have you at my table.

Creating your character
When creating your character, please consult the Season of Ghosts Player's Guide (Provided by me) for appropriate/thematic character options. I will also be providing the Tian Xia World Guide as well as the Tian Xia Character Guide. Uncommon and Rare ancestries not mentioned in the Player's Guide will need to be cleared by me. We will be playing with the Free Archetype and Gradual Ability Boost variant rules. Characters should be created using pathbuilder found here: https://pathbuilder2e.com/
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I will provide most everything you need for character creation and the rest can be found on the Archives or in pathbuilder. You will require a discord account as well as a working microphone. My DMs on Discord or on StartPlaying are always open if you have any questions or concerns not addressed here! 😀

Safety
How Rane creates a safe table
👂Open Communication👂 I am always online in some facit or another and encourge all my players to reach out to me about anything concerning my game in any way they feel necessary. My goal is to not only run a fun and enaging game for you all but to also host a safe and inviting community for all members of the TTRPG community both beginner and those of the OSR days 🫱 Post-Session Check-Ins 🫱 After each session, I’ll check in—especially after major moments or emotional beats. It’s a simple way to stay connected and make sure everyone feels heard, supported, and excited for what’s next. ⏸️ Breaks & Refunds ⏸️ Each session will include a short 15 minute breaks in the middle. If something unexpected forces a major delay or cancellation on my part (say, spontaneous food poisoning), I’ll issue a refund. Your time and experience matter.
