One idea for a spooky DnD crawler could be a haunted mansion that the players are tasked with exploring. The mansion could have secret passages, hidden rooms, and ghostly apparitions that appear and disappear as the players move through the house. The players could encounter puzzles that they need to solve in order to progress, such as finding hidden keys or deciphering cryptic messages. The mansion could also be filled with traps and dangerous creatures that the players need to fight off or avoid, including undead monsters, ghouls, and ghosts. As the players delve deeper into the mansion, they could uncover the dark history of the house and the reason behind its haunting, which could lead to a final confrontation with the mansion’s malevolent spirit.
Are you ready for “The Bard Song”?
I said are you ready for “The Bard Song”?
Then let’s sing “The Bard Song, In the Forest”
Now you all know the bards and their songs
When hours have gone by, I’ll close my eyes
In a world far away we may meet again
But now hear my song about the dawn of the night
Let’s sing the bard’s song
Tomorrow will take us away far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards’ songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away the fear of today
It will be gone due to our magic songs
There’s only one song left in my mind
Tales of a brave man who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over and it’s time to leave
No one should ask you for the name of the one
Who tells the story
Tomorrow will take us away far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards’ songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known and you’re not alone
So don’t be afraid in the dark and cold
‘Cause the bards’ songs will remain they all will remain
In my thoughts and in my dreams
They’re always in my mind
These songs of hobbit, dwarves and men and elves
Come close your eyes you can see them too- The Blind Guardian wrote this. It is perfect.
Why are you making another DnD game? Add a sanity mechanic so that if you’re in the dungeon fo too long, you become insane. (Strange stuff happens, your vision randomly blacks out, you get slow or fast randomly, use a randomizer to do this.) You can also add a place where you can recharge your sanity.
