Pathfinder Module: Feast of Ravenmoor
Let the Feast Begin!
For decades, the tiny village of Ravenmoor has existed quietly on the upper reaches of the Lampblack River, far from the centers of civilization in Varisia. Linked to the outside world only by an overgrown, mostly forgotten trail, the villagers are comfortable with their isolation. Their ways are humble, quaint, and at times odd, and when travelers come, they find the town awkward and unmemorable. Certainly, the lack of a village inn, the oppressive humidity, and the bug-infested moors and swamps that surround the village do little to encourage visitors. When a clerk in the city of Magnimar discovers that, due to a clerical error, the village of Ravenmoor hasn't paid taxes in years, a tax collector is sent to the distant community to settle accounts with its mayor. When the tax collector fails to return, however, a group of adventurers must travel to the town during its Founders' Feast celebration to investigate his disappearance. Did he really make off with the taxes for himself, as the villagers suspect? Or did he never make it out of Ravenmoor at all?
Feast of Ravenmoor is an adventure for 3rd-level characters, written for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and compatible with the 3.5 edition of the world’s oldest RPG. It features a terrifying adventure set in a rural village in the frontier realm of Varisia, and a brand-new monster eager to torment and frighten unsuspecting adventurers.

About the author
Brandon Hodge
29 books6 followersBy day, Brandon Hodge owns and operates Monkey See, Monkey Do! toy store and the world-famous Big Top Candy Shop in Austin, Texas. When night arrives, he retrieves his pen and puts nightmares to paper as a freelance writer and historian specializing in the esoteric and occult. Brandon's award-winning writing and game design credits include works from Kobold Press and Paizo Publishing. He is author of the critically-acclaimed adventures From Shore to Sea, Feast of Ravenmoor, Rasputin Must Die!, and The House on Hook Street, and served as Creative Consultant on Paizo's Occult Adventures rulebook.
The demented twists he brings to the gaming industry can perhaps best be explained with his extracurricular hobbies: when he isn't writing, he brings curses home with him collecting ouija boards, haunted antiques, planchettes, and other Spiritualist-related items, and displays his world-class planchette collection on his website, www.mysteriousplanchette.com. Brandon’s research on Spiritualism history has appeared in the pages of the Smithsonian Magazine, and his popular Ghosts in the Machines column appears every quarter in the pages of Paranormal Review, the Magazine for the Society for Psychical Research.
Brandon is a respected lecturer in the occult history field, and has loaned his expertise as on-air talent for dozens of popular radio and television programs, including a segment featuring his séance artifact collection on Science Channel’s hit show Oddities. Brandon also appeared on Travel Channel's Ouija-related "Patience Worth" episode of Mysteries at the Museum. In addition, he makes frequent guest appearances in both print interviews and popular radio shows, and has contributed artifacts to a number of museum exhibits, including the Let the Spirit Move You exhibit at the Baltimore Museum of Industry, the MIA's Supernatural America exhibit, and the Peabody Museum's Conjuring the Spirit World exhibition.
Brandon is currently working on a picturesque coffee-table book on the subject of spirit communication devices from their early beginnings to their modern equivalents. Titled "Talking Tables & Scribbling Spirits: A Complete History of Spirit Communication Tools," the book is slated for publication in the near future, and includes the most in-depth historical research ever performed on talking boards.
Brandon lives in the historic Hyde Park neighborhood in Austin, Texas, with two imps disguised as children, Jack and Elliot, and their innumerable pet ghosts.

Though I would love to write out in great detail the many, many reasons this module is complete excellence my party of players can see these reviews and I do not want to spoil so I will keep this short.
This is still one of the best modules to hit shelves from paizo in a long time and even after the years of interveneing time still holds up. A classic by the great Brandon Hodge that combines many classic elements of modern horror story telling ala Stephen King and Lovecraft into a fun narrative that not only maintains its horror roots but manages to pull it off while remembering that it is an adventure set in the pathfinder universe, leaving the party both viscerally engaged in the story and combat but on the edge of their seats as they piece together the puzzle of Ravenmoor.
If you like horror stories and always wanted to see if your PCs could survive the night in one I urge you to pick up feast at Ravenmoor, it will be more than worth your time.
