Hey there, goblins! đź‘˝ Today on Goblin Salvage Rites, we are trying out a brand new format! Instead of just reviewing an Adventure Path, we are diving deep into the Season of Ghosts Player's Guide and building characters specifically designed to thrive in this rural horror campaign.

We cover the unique four-act (Ki-sho-ten-ketsu) structure of this AP, why it focuses on compassion and reputation, and why you definitely shouldn't bring a Gunslinger to Willowshire.

Then, we unleash the builds:

Robert’s Thrown Weapon Masters: An optimized dual-wielding Shuriken Swashbuckler (because Rogues actually suck at thrown weapons) and a hilarious Barbarian that throws literal tables at ghosts.

Erik’s Three Brothers: A trio of siblings tied to the local tea house, featuring an "Imposter Syndrome" Thaumaturge, a Guardian/Exemplar linebacker who plays janky support, and a Half-Elf Magus who is slowly going feral.

In this episode:

What We Played: Erik's Pulp Fiction-style session in Agents of Edgewatch, surviving Cryptobiosis in Starfinder 2e, and Robert's level 14 Prey for Death assassination mission.

AP Breakdown: Spoiler-free expectations for Season of Ghosts.

Character Concepts: How to tie your backgrounds perfectly into the town's lore.
