When you purchase this resource, you'll get everything below:

Tales of Horror - This article delves into how to create and run a horror adventure.

Short But Terrifying Adventures - Two short adventures for levels 3 and 8: Into the Solar Tomb and The Sands of Bloodlust.

Spine-Chilling Locations - Five horror-inspired locations to put your players on edge: Castle Nightlos, Blackgold Arcanum, Golkrone's Antiquities, Kharamara Lake, and Town Graveyard.

Dark, Death, and Drowned Puzzles - Five puzzles ranging in difficulty from easy to hard: Death Penalty, Spirit Board, Dark Escape, Something in the Water, and Phantom of the Opera.

Madness in the Marina - Level-2 adventure with digital maps.
Aside from its gorgeous view of the sea and murky sea-grey waters, the small oceanside village of Alta Marina isn’t noteworthy. The days are slow and lazy as fishermen haul in their catches and travelers pass through on their way to greater adventurers. The militia that guards this city has never had to deal with anything more dangerous than shoplifters and self-important visitors, so when an insane eccentric takes part of the city hostage to enact a malicious plot, the guards’ captain will need to enlist traveling heroes to save the day.

Bank of Souls - Level-17 adventure with digital maps.
Monsters are missing. Many may take this as a good sign, an indication of a safer environment, and the triumph of civilization. Ordinarily, this might well be the case, but not if something far worse is snatching the monsters and gobbling them up. A lich, eater of souls, abducts monsters and mortals alike to subject them to a fate worse than death. As prisoners in an endless cycle of maddening experiments, torture, pain, and fear, they are to answer the lich’s burning question: do monsters have a soul?
