Season of
ghosts

Willowshore sits on a river winding through the Specterwood, in the haunted land of Shenmen in Tian Xia. The people there are used to the supernatural. What arrives on the first day of summer is not something they are used to.

The story so farTuesday nightsThe remastered edition, four volumes

Home-grown heroes, not adventurers passing through

What it is#

Four volumes, one per season, levels 1 through 12.

Over the four seasons that follow, a group of home-grown heroes — people from the town, not adventurers passing through — have to deal with evil spirits, fiends, and curses before Willowshore is lost to the Season of Ghosts.

We are running the remastered edition. This is our current campaign — the one running on Tuesday nights right now.

Four seats, all filled

The party#

  • Lotus Leaf-FlowerLeshy MonkMade rather than born, and still working out what that means.
  • Lysander VargasHuman RogueThief and bartender, with a ward named Erin and old ties he has not entirely retired.
  • Re TangKitsune SummonerIllusions, a sharp business sense, and a bound eidolon.
  • Zhu ChaoHuman BardHarpist, seventeen, from the family that runs the tool shop.

Locked, and for a reason

The story so far#

The log stops where we are — nothing in it is ahead of the party. It will still spoil the adventure completely for anyone who has not played it.

Spoilers

Everything behind this is what has actually happened at our table, and it will spoil the adventure for anyone who has not played it. Players in this campaign have the password. If you are thinking of running Season of Ghosts yourself, or you might join us later, do not open it.

On top of the usual ones

House rules that matter here#

Everything at this table runs on the same house rules. These four come up in this campaign specifically.

Milestone leveling

Level is the chapter number minus one, from Chapter 2 on. No XP to track.

Free archetype

On, as it is at every table here.

Dedicated Study

Raising a Lore in downtime matters a great deal in a campaign that is half downtime. It needs a teacher or a library established in play — see the house rules before committing weeks to it.

Willowshore Lore

A real skill, and it comes up constantly. Worth the increase.

One is spoiler-safe, one is not
