Most scariest adventure?
Having read the GameMastery module "Hangman's Noose", it prompt a question from me. What is the most scariest adventure you ran or have been in?
I confess I have never ran or been in a 'horror'/scary adventure.Last edited by Hurlbut; 2008-05-25 at 01:11 PM.
Around here I have a very responsible position. Every time something goes wrong I'm responsible.

Tomb of Horrors, hands down. It turns you paranoid and is the climax of evil, cruel and unusual traps and horrors.
You just lost the game. I lost too but at least I took someone down with me.

Call of Cthulhu. The players weren't scared of anything, either, just generally freaked out by the atmosphere and all sorts of red herrings. I didn't even have to kill any of them. There was no paranoia involved (until later sessions) - they were actually scared, not just cautious.
Yes, I rock.

Re: Most scariest adventure?
Wow. Can I play a game of CoC with you guys? I just couldn't get scared. (Though when reading the sample adventures in the CoC D20 game, I did get a little freaked out.)
Beguiler, you just got served.

Re: Most scariest adventure?
WFRP the enemy within series makes you paranoid as hell.
well it does if you're aware of world background and follow plot, my lot just went running around smashing stuff up and died doing something suicidal

Re: Most scariest adventure?
I have to say, Expedition to Castle Ravenloft was pretty freaky. And I didn't play it under anything like ideal conditions, either - I can only imagine what it would've been like if I had played it in someone's basement with the thermostat turned down and only a few candles for illumination.

Re: Most scariest adventure?
I had my players a little scared when they thought they'd shut the evil werewolf thing in a temple with the ghost-bard thing and stone-shaped the doors closed. I basically said - "Casper, you see the werewolf **** its head, run towards the wall and jump out the window."
It was quite amusing.
