Halloween recommendations! (Patreon)

For me, October is all about Gothic horror, ghost stories, eldritch monstrosities, and general spookiness. I'm also aware that we have a LOT of content on the Patreon now, so I thought I'd make life easier for anyone planning their Halloween games and collect some of the scariest Tales Arcane content together for you.

Adventures

These adventures will all make for good Halloween mini-campaigns, from the werewolf-focused plot twists of Revenge of the Lycan to the Lovecraftian horror of Journey Into Darkness.

Revenge of the Lycan: Break a werewolf out of prison and expose a hag conspiracy.

The Harlwick Horror: Unmask a sinister cult in a remote coastal town.

Journey Into Darkness: Travel to the frozen north and battle eldritch horrors from the deep.

The Demons Within: Catch a serial killer and battle an evil body-hopping demon.

Encounters

Looking for a one-shot, rather than a multi-session adventure? These encounters should all take no more than one session to complete. The Care of Hags and Shelter from the Storm are particular favorites of mine.

Wrath of the Tomb Fiend: Face undead bandits and an ancient monster from far-off lands.

The House on Corpse Row: Survive one night in a deadly haunted house.

Grave Matters: Save two hapless gravediggers from certain death.

The Care of Hags: Find a missing girl and uncover the strange link between an inn and a hag.

Shelter from the Storm: Experience an eerie, roleplay-focused ghost story.

The Necromancer's Circus: Battle zombie circus performers in a nightmarish carnival.

Supplements

If you've already planned your games for the next few weeks, but want to add some extra flavor in the form of cursed items, creepy monsters, and or horror-themed player backgrounds, try these sinister supplements! The highlight here for me a set of feats based on the Major Arcana of the Tarot, found in The Occult Compendium.

Five Vile Hag Items: Give your players horrifying hag items.

Five Infernal Items: Reward adventurers with the hellish weapons of the damned.

The Occult Compendium: Explore occult backgrounds, sinister subclasses, and frightful feats.

Happy Halloween!
