About the adventure
In Shenmen there is a traditional period during first few weeks of summer, when the woodlands see an increase in hauntings, spirits, and undead. While the cause of this increased haunting is uncertain, these ghosts often lure people to their deaths. You live in Willowshore, one of the most prominent, but small and secluded settlements in Specterwood, deep in Shenmen, where even travellers are of a rarity, resources are scarce, yet your community is tightly knit and used to hardships. Yet something goes wrong on the first day of summer and you have to find out, before whole village is surrounded by mists, hungry ghosts and evil lurking in shadows! In this Adventure Path you will: 1. Oppose numerous monstrosities, based on Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian, Malaysian, Mongolian and many other folklore horror stories. 2. Live a whole year full of adventures and small short stories in an isolated village. 3. Dive deep in mysteries, woven around Willowshore and untangle them, when time is tight and stakes are high. 4. Learn Pathfinder 2e and setting of Golarion even with no beforehand experience. 5. Experience one of the most stunning stories in whole TTRPG history.

About me
Hi! My name is Alex and I'm a Professional Game Master, currently running from 7 to 21 game sessions a week, 52 weeks a year, for 6 years straight. When you come to my table, you can always be assured, that you character will fit in nicely, you won't leave a game without equal amount of spotlight, that you will never be stuck in dead game dynamic and if you enjoy playing various TTRPG systems, then we have all the chances of staying together for a while. What you should know about my games: 1. Tactical combat, using of terrain, heights and lots of optional rules. 2. Voiceplay, around of 50 differents voices for every kind of NPC and monster. 3. The best virtual tabletop platform currently existing - FoundryVTT. So, nice looking backgrounds, battlemaps, sound effects, animations. 4. Reliable schedule - typically, games are weekly, on the same day and timeslot. No planning issues (mostly) 5. I'm open to all kinds of feedback and trying to improve every single aspect of game for needs of my players. 6. I have a lot of experience with different game systems, starting from AD&D 2, D&D(3, 3.5, 4, 5, 5.5 playtest), Pathfinder 2e, Warhammer 40k (Dark Heresy 1 + Ascension, Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, Only War, Black Crusade, Wrath and Glory, Imperium Maledictum), WFRP 4e, Savage Worlds, GURPS, Call of Cthulhu 7e, City of Mist, Fabula Ultima and FATAL. So, if you want to try something new, i'm always open to new things. Welcome and let's begin an adventure we will never forget!
