Hello everyone,
I have group of new players and I am looking for something nice to cook up for them. I drew some inspiration from this (https://media.wizards.com/2016/downloads/DND/Curse%20of%20Strahd%20Introductory%20Adventure.pdf ) free short story. I'd like to do something with 2 children who are ghosts and ask the players for help when they decide to camp in the ruin of a mansion. I like to do something with the mansion being restored during the night and having the last night of the lives of the children unfold there with spirits and everything, like an echo in time. This can be something that repeats itself multiple nights in which the players discover more and more why the children died and how their souls can be put to rest (some majora's mask vibe, i know). Multiple characters in the house who each have a little piece of the puzzle that they can discover over several nights, maybe? mabe it should just be one night and just have time go relativly slowly in game so they have enouh time to figure everything out before the dawn.
I had the same idea with a ghost town where people relive that last night and the next they do the sme thing and seem not to remember the PCs anymore since their night has been reset. this way there are more NPCs involved. Maybe it is better to have it be during the day and just make it very dark nd cloudy, but that just seems a bit silly. What woul you think is best?
Just how do I keep the characters involved during the day. Also a little help with the plot hook is always helpful! They probably will not sleep all the time during he day, also since this is pretty counter intuitive. Maybe I am pushing it too far for their first campaign and we should just do some kobold hunting... They are pretty experienced roleplayers though, so I want something with a little more dept.
Thank you!
