Message: <blockquote data-quote="Orryn Emrys" data-source="post: 1161999" data-attributes="member: 6799">Coincidental weather conditions have been my friend on more than one occasion.  In fact, one of the creepiest Ravenloft sessions I ever ran was on a quiet, foggy night.  The most specific event I recall, however, was during a completely different session during one of my Ravenloft campaigns.  I've always been a little theatric about it, anyway, so my RL games were always played by candlelight.  In addition to setting the mood, the low-light conditions kept the group's attention riveted to the table... casting shadows behind the players that easily threw the rest of the room into obscurity.Well... one particular evening, everyone was glued to my voice and the tension was mounting when, at a crucial moment, the howling winds outside suddenly blew open the front door (which was apparently not closed very well).  The player nearest the door, with his back to it of course, leaped out of his chair, spun about and nearly climbed backwards onto the table.  It took the group but a moment to realize what had happened and resolve into rolling fits of laughter... and of course it rather ruined the mood of the moment... but it stands out in my memory as a most remarkable moment in my history of gaming.Maybe it isn't exactly a horrifying moment in gaming... but I thought I'd share. <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>
