Paizo Inc. has revealed the first adventure planned for its upcoming Strange Aeons Adventure Path: In Search of Sanity is scheduled to release this August.
Combining Pathfinder-style fantasy roleplaying with the sanity-rending themes of the Cthulhu Mythos, Strange Aeons pits adventurers against the cosmic horrors of the Yellow Sign, even as they delve into the depths of madness itself. The Strange Aeons Adventure Path will include six adventures, released monthly. Each adventure includes a scenario, new monsters, and support materials for the Game Master.
The first adventure, In Search of Sanity, opens with the characters waking up inside a mental asylum, their memories gone and their sanity shredded. The players must uncover the cause for their memory loss, piece together clues to their past, and work with the other inmates of the asylum to stop the horrors that have taken over. All while trying to keep together what remains of their sanity. This adventure is intended for 1st Level characters.
In Search of Sanity will be a 96-page full-color softcover book. It was written by F. Wesley Schneider, who contributed to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook and numerous other Pathfinder titles as well as a number of Dungeons & Dragons supplements. MSRP is $24.99.
Pathfinder continues to be a top seller in the roleplaying game market, ranking second overall in ICv2’s sales charts for the fourth quarter of last year (see “Top 5 Roleplaying Games-Fall 2015”).
