Season of Ghosts
Something strange is happening to your hometown of Willowshore! Nestled on the banks of a river winding through the legendary Specterwood in Tian Xia's haunted land of Shenmen, the people of Willowshore are no strangers to supernatural threat, but the danger that comes to town on the first day of summer is unlike anything you've ever seen before. Over the four seasons to come, you and your fellow home-grown heroes must face evil spirits, sinister fiends, and frightening curses, lest the town of Willowshore succumb to the Season of Ghosts!
Overview
Season of Ghosts is a haunting adventure path set in the Japanese-inspired region of Tian Xia. Your hometown of Willowshore faces supernatural threats that change with each passing season. Across four chapters—one for each season—you’ll battle ghosts, spirits, and otherworldly entities while uncovering a deeper mystery that threatens not just your home, but the natural cycle itself.
Season of Ghosts is a personal favourite of mine and is widely regarded by the community as one of the better adventure paths story-wise. While it’s much lighter on combat that most adventures, it makes up for it in mystery, investigation and lore.
