Any chance of getting a version of the Player's Guide that is free of spiders?


Season of Ghosts


Is there a version of the Players Guide that can be shown to arachnaphobes, one that doesn't have spiders crawling all over the border of every single page?

Also, is this AP going to be a huge problem for someone who would rather not have their phobias thrown at them in their gaming time?


This is almost certainly the most spidery Adventure Path. I guess it's better to signpost that that right in the player's guide instead of springing it on you.

this is not the right AP for someone whose arachnophobia would be triggered by a TTRPG.

Or moths. Or body horror.

This AP is one of those that the GM needs to have a conversation with the group about comfort levels and whether to run a different AP.


Like the main antagonists for the entire story are

Spoiler:
Jorogumo
who rule the area that the story takes place in. There's not a lot to be done about that for people who are absolutely spider-averse. Like the last volume is titled "To Bloom Below the Web".

So if you don't want to encounter spiders or spider-themed things in your RPGs, I would just file this under "this one's not for me."


To be fair, unless playing on VTT the players in the game may never have to see an actual art of a spider in the entire course of play.

I feel like the best solution would be just to copy the contents of the player's guide into a blank word processor document. Can do the same with the maps (although you'll need to cover part of one map to avoid spoilers).

That said, if you are playing in VTT or have highly imaginative players who may not enjoy fighting even imaginary spiders, I would defer to the others' recommendations.

The version at demiplane doesn't have all the graphics that are in the original. However, you'll have to create an account to read it.

But, as others have noted, this is hardly an AP for those with arachnophobia.

Or phobia of creepy crawlies in general, and their giant versions in particular.

and someone didn't even read the Player Guide first.
