You’ll begin as 1st-level characters who, if you haven’t lived in Willowshore your whole lives, have come to be recognized and welcomed as locals after arriving in town in the recent past.  \nThis Adventure Path is split into four parts, each taking place during a different season as your PCs grow more powerful and the threats facing Willowshore grow deadlier and more shocking. The Adventure Path features some particularly significant plot twists and revelations, so if you’ve had some of these surprises revealed to you, please consider other players’experiences before spoiling the secrets that await discovery during the later parts of Season of Ghosts!  \nTo play in this campaign, all you need is the Pathfinder Core Rulebook and a character sheet. With your Game Master’s permission, you can also use Pathfinder Second Edition supplemental rulebooks, campaign setting books, and other accessories to further customize your character, especially since this campaign is set on the continent of Tian Xia, where the most common ancestries, faiths, and other elements aren’t the same as those assumed in a campaign set in the Inner Sea region.  \nOn the following pages, you’ll find specific suggestions to help you create a new character for Season of Ghosts. This Player’s Guide is organized into the following sections.  \n• Character Suggestions (page 5): Guidance, practical advice, and specific tips for creating a 1st-level character that fits seamlessly into this campaign.  \n• Willowshore Gazetteer (page 15): Much of what you (and your character) need to know about your hometown of Willowshore is presented in this gazetteer. Your GM has additional information about this town, should information you need not be present in this section.  \nWHAT IS THE SEASON OF GHOSTS?  \nThe Season of Ghosts Adventure Path is named for a traditional period in Shenmen that takes place during  \nWHERE (AND WHEN) ONGOLARION?  \nThe Season of Ghosts Adventure Path takes place exclusively in a small part of rural Shenmen, a haunted nation in the middle of the continent of Tian-Xia. Specifically, the bulk of this adventure path happens in and around the town of Willowshore, which is presented in further detail beginning on page 15.  \nOf greater note is the time in which Season of Ghosts takes place—unlike other Adventure Paths, the events of Season of Ghosts take place roughly over the course of a year, starting on the first day of summer in the year 7108 ic (4608 ar in t","cbCaiqgLftd5C52M","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqgLftd5C52M","pdf",41682928,25,"English","# How to Use This Guide\n## Welcome to the Season of Ghosts Adventure Path!\n## What is the Season of Ghosts?\n## Where (and When) on Golarion? \n## Character Suggestions\n## Willowshore Gazetteer","[{\"question\":\"What kind of campaign setting does the Player’s Guide support?\",\"answer\":\"It supports a horror-themed campaign set in rural Shenmen, focusing on defending Willowshore from supernatural threats during a particularly cruel winter season.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the Season of Ghosts Adventure Path structured?\",\"answer\":\"It is split into four parts, with each part tied to a different season as the PCs grow more powerful and the dangers become more deadly.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are the PCs chosen during the Reenactment Festival?\",\"answer\":\"The PCs are selected to play the roles of the town’s abductees, and reasons for their abduction are connected to various Season of Ghosts backgrounds or created in coordination with the GM.\"}]","Season of Ghosts Player’s Guide - Second Edition | PDF",1791256966,39,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":99},[100,103,107,111,116,121,126,131,135,138,142],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":108,"show_sort_weight":109,"slug":110},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":112,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":113,"show_sort_weight":114,"slug":115},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":118,"show_sort_weight":119,"slug":120},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":122,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":123,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":125},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":129,"slug":130},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":55,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":134},"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":137},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":139,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":140,"show_sort_weight":139,"slug":141},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":143,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":144,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":145},19,"General","general"]
