The house has stood abandoned on its lonely hilltop, brooding quietly over the ruins of a once thriving town for decades. No one has lived within its walls since the night a terrific storm flooded the coastal town below—and since a tragedy struck down the noble family that once dwelt within—but now, the mansion has attracted the attention of a curious group of adventurers. What is the truth behind the tragic past that empowers the evil that grips the mansion today, and what might happen to the world of Golarion if the sinister influences that grow within these haunted walls are allowed to build beyond the breaking point?

Malevolence is a horror-themed adventure for 3rd-level characters written by James Jacobs featuring sinister new monsters, mysterious magical items and spells to discover, and a fully-detailed haunted house for players to explore, exorcise, and endure. With an immersive method of researching the history and truths of the mansion's macabre secrets through visions, dreams, and good-old fashioned ghost-hunting and investigation, Malevolence is ready to test the limits of any heroic party's bravery!

This adventure can be used with the Pathfinder Flip-Mat: Malevolence.

I'm still working on it, but it's currently got four chapters. It's still aimed at being 64 pages long though.

Very excited about this, and I love that it's a low-lovel adventure; there are never too many of those! :)

Any chance of the Necronomicon making a cameo and starting some Evil Dead like trouble in this adventure or a future product?

Hopefully for Golarion, it won't rear its head for a while - it features heavily in a little adventure path called Strange Aeons...

I think you get short fiction based on Malevolence for your birthday instead. We've that for March.

Aaaw! :( I had forgotten you had posted that when I made mine. I wouldn’t have gloated had I remembered. :X

(I’ll be honest though, that we got confirmation of a new short fiction for it sounds very nice, I always love these fictions.)

Short fiction is acceptable. :-)

UPDATE: It's 3 chapters long. (I combined what was initially chapters 2 and 3 into chapter 2.)

This is gonna be the first adventure I bbuy for PF2e, definitely looking forward to the 'immersive research' oriented materials, I love exploration and environmental storytelling.

I see this is designed for level 3 PC's, what level do they end the module at?

Oh gosh, those *wrecked* us in this game.

This is a delightful adventure. We just happened to spend a lot of it screaming as a result of both the creepy fun and our B-horror-movie degree of reckless exploration.

I still think we should have split up. I mean, split up *more*.

I'd be lying if I said that the mayhem those things caused you all didn't factor in to my decision for what to put in the art brief for the cover...

Me: "Okay, there's a lot of this place to explore, so let's proceed methodically."

Ron: "I found four doors!"

Me: "Okay, good, let's start over here and—"

Ron opens all four doors at once.

Ron: "What? Couldn't hear you over all these creaky hinges!"
