Sara’s Game: Loss Prevention
System: D&D 5e
Level: 5
A Level 5 horror-comedy one-shot inspired by CHOPPING MALL (1986).
You and your pals work at the Stargrove Shopping Center, and tonight you’re taking advantage of the perks. The plan: clock out, raid the food court, crank the music, and throw a bitchin’ after-hours party.
BUT THEN…
A storm rolls in. The lights flicker. All the security gates slam shut at once. At first, it seems like a power outage in the new state-of-the-art security system…
Then something starts moving through the mall.
Now your favorite hangout has become a neon deathtrap.
Jo’s Game: The Curse of the House of Rookwood
System: The Curse of the House of Rookwood
Long ago, a member of the Rookwood family made a deal with a demonic force. This pact granted the ancestor great power but also inflicted a terrible curse on the Rookwood bloodline. This is your family, we face your generation, and how your story will repeat, or disrupt, itself.
As we gather we will create a generation of the Rookwood family. For example this can include a moody teenage daughter, rebellious son, stern spinster aunt, drunken bachelor uncle, a dottering grandfather, domineering mother, unemotional father, absent-minded grandmother, cavalier sister, flighty brother, or a wastrel cousin. You will each have a curse and a gift, that can physically and emotionally alter you. You will also have a assets, desires, and most importantly, skeletons in your closet that haunt you.
RJ’s Game: Lives, A Lich, and then you DIE!
System: D&D 5.5 (2024)
Level: 12
A Lich has come to town. Death is on the table. Back up characters will be at the ready. Need we say more?
…Ok, we will say more. Play as traveling merchant adventures who stop at an inn for the night to look over the new magical items they’ve recently acquired. Somehow a Lich has entered the game and you will be hunted. If you die, a backup character will be provided, or you can play as your undead character on the side of the Lich and bring down your adventurer companions in some PVP.
