[QUOTE="Jolly Giant, post: 3040723, member: 5278"] First came Libris Mortis, making me want to run an undead-themed horror campaign. Then came Lords of Madness, making me want to run an aberration-themed horror campaign. Then came Heroes of Horror, making me want to run any kind of horror campaign. Then there was [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=130133]this thread[/URL], providing some good encounter ideas for a horror campaign. Then there was [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=146264]this thread,[/URL] providing good advice on how to make a horror campaign really horrific. Now all I need is a good [I]plot [/I]for a horror campaign. I know this probably puts me in a bad light. I can almost hear you going "Can't he do [I]anything [/I]himself?!?". Well, I [I]can[/I], I've always made all my own adventures. I just don't have the time right now. (I'm concentrating on finishing up Vikings D20. :cool: ) It's just that this horror thing keeps creeping up on me (as horrors do :eek: ), and it would be nice to have something else to tinker with when I get too sick of thinking about Vikings every waking hour. So, any ideas folks? I'm thinking of a campaign that would start at level 1 and go on till around level 5. My vision is a campaign loaded with clichès from old horror (undeads) and/or sci-fi (aberrations) movies, yet convincing enough to be genuinely creepy. Another theme I've considered is a Faust type character who's somehow managed to summon a powerful demon and has it bound inside a magic circle in his basement. Who's [I]really [/I]in control though; the summoner or the summoned? [/QUOTE]
