[QUOTE="Dragonsbane, post: 8100971, member: 6775188"] I find 5e can do horror really well. I changed around Curse of Strhrad to be about devils instead of undead, make the domain the inside of a Hellraiser-type cube that when opened spills the Shadow Plane into the real world for a few square miles as the evil ancient devil worshiper who wished-he-could-live-forever-ruling-a-domain lol Davos slowly devours the souls of those that were in the area as they think they are living in a dream (mightmare). It had crazy graphic descriptions, the chance that death meant no resurrection, chain devils, more devils, child kidnapping, flocks of birds that ate the skin of things in seconds, and the creepy Strhad house. A hag NPC joined the party to escape the Devil Cube and made out with the handsome bard (bard wants to leave, he gotta doooo), and in the end it claimed one of the PCs as its new owner and resident (for good) to replace Davos, and the player was RPing the influence of the devil the whole campaign. It was AWESOME horror. [/QUOTE]
