About the adventure
Looking for a spine-tingling, edge-of-your-seat adventures in D&D5e or Dungeon Crawl Classics? Look no further...I have adventures for the holidays of horror that I run in D&D or Dungeon Crawl Classics. You decide. One offering is "The Haunt" a series that plunges your party into a world of eerie mystery, atmospheric horror, and pulse-pounding danger. Explore the cursed mansion shrouded in dark secrets, each installment builds tension with deadly traps, haunting puzzles, and terrifying foes. Or play the series as one-shots. Perfectly crafted for players who crave exploration, roleplay, and combat balanced with a thrilling narrative. The adventure is an Adamantine Best Seller on the The DMsGuild.com... Explore the eerie and unsettling mysteries within Goodman Games' horror one-shots, each crafted to evoke shivers and ignite dread in a single session. From haunted locales to visceral nightmares, these adventures plunge players into sinister worlds where every shadow hides a secret, and every whisper could be a warning or a curse. Experience the suspense and horror of "The Haunting of Hornsmouth," where spectral tales intertwine with dark secrets buried beneath the town’s cursed history. Or venture into "The House of the Blood Moon," a twisted locale where the boundaries between life and death blur, and the furniture itself seems alive with malevolent intent. These one-shots are designed to deliver maximum frights in minimal time, perfect for a spooky night with friends. And many other titles... "Curse of Strahd" has long been revered as a sprawling campaign, but it also makes an excellent standalone experience. With its tightly woven narrative, atmospheric setting, and iconic villain, you can easily condense it into a thrilling one-shot adventure. Focus on a core group of characters and key moments, and you’ll capture the essence of Barovia’s haunted allure in just a few hours. Whether as a Halloween special or an intense evening of gothic horror, playing Curse of Strahd as a one-shot offers a condensed but equally chilling journey into the undead lord’s domain. For those seeking a dark and immersive experience, the Dark Dice adventure "Domain of the Nameless God" offers a compelling one-shot capable of enthralling players with its ominous setting and mysterious plot. This adventure, available on Patreon, plunges characters into a realm of shadows and eldritch horrors where they must confront their deepest fears. Richly designed and full of intrigue, "Domain of the Nameless God" promises an intense role-playing experience filled with danger, suspense, and supernatural dread—perfect for a one-night adventure that will leave you talking long after the session ends... Come play one of my Holiday Horror One Shots... If you dare...

My tables are welcoming, flexible, and focused on making sure everyone has fun. The best games are forged in shared challenges and the camaraderie that comes with them. Let’s tell some amazing stories together!

Creating your character
You will need access to the internet with a mic. While a camera is recommended, it is not necessary. The Theater of the Mind (audio portion of the adventure) will occur on Discord supplemented by images and battle maps as needed. You will need an account on Discord. Access to the dedicated server will be open prior to the game. Owlbear Rodeo may be used. No subscription is necessary. Characters will be made or provided before the session. Pre-made characters are always available.
This adventure is a horror adventure laden with gruesomeness not for the faint of heart. We will be playing Haunt 2 that can be played in one session but usually lasts two to three sessions for the more thorough parties. Following Haunt 2, the players will have the option for remaining in the mini campaign for Haunt 3.

Homebrew rules

SAFETY TOOLS ・During Session 0 we will discuss Lines and Veils. ・A 10 minute break will occur roughly halfway through the session. Additional breaks are always available on request. ・Further details of all tool implementations are provided within the discord server. Feel free to ask any questions for clarification.
