D&D 5E (2014) What's Everyone Playing for their "Halloween Game?"

[iserith]

With Halloween approaching, this seems like a good month to run or play in a D&D 5e adventure that includes some horror elements.

While I probably won't be playing D&D that day (sad, I know), I might write up a scenario and post it for others to use, time permitting. I think I might try playing Betrayal at House on the Hill on Halloween night with my niece and nephew.

So what's everyone playing for their "Halloween Game?" If it's D&D, what's the adventure's premise? If it's some other game, what is it and why did you choose it over D&D?

MY games he day after and we just played the first session of a new campaign and finished at a bit of a cliff hanger,we bumped into the kings nights same crest and everything and read a letter with his seal saying to exterminate us after he sent us he denied it i sarcastically said oh so what you have a twin brother that was abandoned at birth and now wants you dead and us by extension the king went pale as a sheet and then the session ended.So ill be dammed if we end up doing a 1shot Halloween game

We had not one but two halloween games planned:

1) One set literally in a nightmare, where the players are stalked by a dream-remnant of a Mad Wraith they destroyed 10 levels ago, set in a vision of the world where the Wraith never died, but instead became an archmage in service to Vecna... the PCs were in the Dreamlands, physically, in the middle of another adventure when they stumble into the realm, so their lives are on the line.

2) A 12-player dungeon crawl, half the players with traditional PCs, half running the monsters while the DM just kinda sits back and enjoys the show.

Sadly, /both/ fell through.

I've been thinking of running a horror-themed game for a while now, and Halloween seems like the right time to do it. I think I could convert Ravenloft pretty easily, but I've been also thinking of running a game of Dread. My friends and I are new to TTRPgs and I think playing a dice-less game would broaden our horizons.

Not going to work time wise, I fear, for our group. Sad face.

My brother is picking up on our old Dresden Files RPG game. It ended on a cliffhanger with us surrounded by zombies about a year ago. Looking forward to picking up on that game again, even if I have issues with parts of it.

Boardgames work easiest...already did a Halloween theme...with Betrayal at House on the Hill and then also Werewolf.

Normally I like playing Castle Ravenloft or another Ravenloft one-shot.

This year I'm likely playing a game of FATE, with my players being the local franchise of the Ghostbusters.

I'm gonna TRY to run Ravenloft I6 for the first time. Doing it in 5e. Kinda nervous about that map. Not looking forward to making a bunch of pre-gens.

Gothic horror. A family takes a sick daughter into a Prague-inspired city to visit a church that heals with holy blood. On the night of a full moon. Be careful, for tonight is a hunt.
