FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CTHULHU MYTHOS COMES TO PATHFINDER’S WORLD OF GOLARION
New Strange Aeons Six-Month Adventure Path Pits the Heroes of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Against Lovecraftian Cosmic Horrors
REDMOND, WA (August 31, 2016): Paizo Inc. announces today the release of “In Search of Sanity,” volume one in the new Strange Aeons Adventure Path for the award-winning Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, in which new monsters, mind-shattering terrors, and explorations far beyond the known lands of Golarion await Pathfinder players. “In Search of Sanity” is available now in hobby game and bookstores worldwide, and on paizo.com (MSRP $24.99).
In a distant land polluted by an alien menace from beyond the stars, a great cancer grows within the earth. As its tendrils reach out through the dreams of those who learn and study its existence, a sinister cult grows more active in preparing the way for devastation that will destroy more than the minds of would-be heroes. The Strange Aeons Adventure Path begins with "In Search of Sanity," a mind-shattering foray into horror where the heroes awaken within the walls of the eerie Briarstone Asylum, their minds wracked and memories missing. Working together to recover their missing time, they soon learn that their amnesia is but a symptom of a much greater cosmic menace. As they struggle to retain their sanity, the heroes must ally with other asylum residents and fight against the monstrosities that have taken over the building and plunged it into nightmare.
“I’m a big fan of weird horror, and Strange Aeons is a fully Lovecraftian cosmic horror campaign,” says Adam Daigle, Pathfinder RPG developer. “Getting to play with those particular toys, to saturate an entire Adventure Path with horrific monsters, peculiar storylines, and with the strangest start to a Pathfinder Adventure Path to date, Strange Aeons is an exciting addition to the world of Pathfinder.”
The Strange Aeons Adventure Path includes six monthly, 96-page, full-color softcover books. Each volume contains an in-depth Adventure Path scenario, stats for new monsters, and several support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Volume one,“In Search of Sanity” includes:
