They Come from Beneath the Sea! The deep waters of the Hellmouth Gulf have long concealed ancient mysteries, both wondrous and terrible. But these secrets have been submerged for too long, and the remote coastal village of Blackcove has accidentally awoken a slumbering horror from a bygone age. Strange creatures now venture from beneath the waves to steal townsfolk away in the dark of night. Can the PCs discover the fate of Blackcove's lost villagers? What secrets still lie hidden on the mysterious, ruined island just offshore, and what now lurks in the flooded temples beneath the isle? And what horrific fate lies in store for those unfortunate souls who fall prey to the island's eldritch influence? From Shore to Sea is an adventure for 6th-level characters, written for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and compatible with the 3.5 edition of the world's oldest RPG, and produced in collaboration with the patrons of Open Design. Inside you'll find villagers slowly succumbing to the ancestral taint in their blood, tentacled abominations from the deep, debased fish-men, ancient Azlanti technology, and a secret stretching back millennia to the legendary empire of Azlant itself.

By day, Brandon Hodge owns and operates Monkey See, Monkey Do! toy store and the world-famous, steampunk-and-circus-sideshow-themed Big Top Candy Shop in Austin, Texas. When night approaches, he produces his pen to set nightmares to paper. A proud member of the Werecabbage writing guild, Brandon's design credits include numerous Open Design projects, including Halls of the Mountain King, Sunken Empires, and the Midgard Campaign Setting, the Paizo adventures From Shore to Sea and Feast of Ravenmoor, and three popular books in Paizo Publishing's Adventure Path line: Shadows of Gallowspire, Dead Heart of Xin, and Rasputin Must Die! Brandon also stays busy with freelance work with Kobold Press, 0one Games and Green Ronin in between big projects. The demented twists he brought to Midgard's Wasted West region 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 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 Brandon help curate the phenomenally successful Let the Spirit Move You event, the first-of-its-kind Ouija board exhibit at the Baltimore Museum of Industry. 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 porch cat familiar, Ellie Crews.
