Our next session is Friday the 13th!

Hi Everyone,

My group will be getting together for a nightly gaming session soon. Friday the 13th is, ironically, the night that we will be playing on. It will be the 10th session in an on-going campaign, and I'm looking for some fun ways to work in the famous date.

I don't want it to greatly effect the story or deter from the flow of the game, but I was thinking something along the lines of "every natural 13 rolled on an attack is a miss" or something like that. Any suggestions on how Friday the 13th's notorious reputation for bad luck can work its way into the game?

Thanks!

Well, Friday the 13th is supposed to have something to do with witches. So, you could have a module centered around 13 hags working together to cast some sort of evil curse on a village, or something.

Aside from that, on every roll of 13, you could implement some kind of wild surge result. That'd be pretty wild.

Pit them against a fiendish undead blackguard with a Hockey Mask of Strength +5 and a vorpal machete.

It will be the 10th session in an on-going campaign...

We also will be playing on June 13th, and - better than that - it's Session 13 of the current adventure! We left off with the party hearing the angry roar of a huge beast; they're currently rushing down the hall to find out what fate awaits them.

I'm a little nervous as DM; I'd hate for the party to roll 1s all night and get slaughtered. Even worse, I'd hate for everyone to roll 1s all night!

Player: "I swing again! Another g06#4m One! I miss -- again!"
DM: "The monster swings at you. His ungainly swing goes far wide and he nearly clubs himself in the eye. Your turn again."
Party: "Nooooo!"
