Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thaniel" data-source="post: 2590850" data-attributes="member: 15121">My first DM (back in late '98) ran a Ravenloft game.  One of the scariest scenes was when we were sleeping in this mansion (I think we were delivering a message to the homeowner or something). But anyways, the house was extremely spooky. No one got any sleep (no recovery of spells) because we were awakened by nightmares.  How he did the nightmares was to send everyone out of the room except one person at a time (this was at college. Not hard to get out of the dorm room and wait in the hall).  The room was pitch black except for the faint monitor glow of his computer.  He then read to us (in a quite creepy deep voice) the poems that we saw in our dreams written in blood on the wall.We all then came back in and our characters awoke simultaneously screaming (gotta love horror checks in ravenloft).  We then recalled to the best of our ability the poems that we saw/heard (he only read it once - you don't always remember your dreams accurately).The first two players could only remember the basic gists of their respective poems and it was then my turn.  In character, I repeated in a shaky whimper of a whisper, the poem I was read verbatim.  The DM shivered. I asked what was wrong and he said I just made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
