All Hallows' Eve, or 'Halloween', as it is now called, is a despicable synthesis of true horror. For hundreds of years, I have waited, biding my time -- until, one Halloween, I can show these candy-grabbing fools what true horror looks like.
And now -- yes, you see it! -- the children amass, darting from house to house in their approximations of those beings that perch atop their flickering screens -- greens and reds and neon hues all jump out as I crouch, patient. I have waited centuries. Surely I can wait a few moments more.
I creep around the corner as they dart out of view -- oh, how fun this shall be! Let us see if their televisions can replicate what true horror is like...
Whispering a few words, magic shoots from my palms, engulfing the children and their parents -- unnoticeable by the human eye, but its effects will soon be shown. Already I can see the transformation beginning...and then, Halloween shall truly start...
Hi, all! Like I said above, this is something I've been meaning to get around to for a while. This is a Halloween-themed adventure that should be relatively short (although we'll see, maybe I'll break it up into pieces and run one this Halloween and the next next year!)
Rules:
1. I'm the only mod here, so show some respect to each other. My posting times also'll probably lead to half of this running this week and the next half next Halloween (or after Halloween, if you want).
2. This is my first attempt at something like this! If you think something's a bit strange or could be improved, tell me!
3. Respect each other. I don't welcome homophobia, racism, or sexism to this place, and, although I understand that provocation leads to anger, please don't retaliate -- just tell me if someone is disrespecting you and/or your identity in some way.
4. Please put "horror" in your first post to show you've read the rules.
5. Yeah, that's all I've got. Yay!
Characters:
Each of your PCs is a ten-year-old child of the city of Greenville, Illinois. (Made-up town, guys -- if there's actually a Greenville, that's news to me and was unintentional.) You're out for Halloween:
Who are you dressed as?
Who are your parents/are they with you?
What're your opinions on Halloween?
Now, the important part: Choose a CR 20 or below stat block (or create a homebrew one/ask me to create a homebrew one) that represents who you're dressed as to some extent. I think you see where this is going...
Give me a name/stat block/short backstory, and I'll roll with it. Anything else I need to know about the character, PM me/anything outside the rules, PM me as well.
