N ot every monster is a creature of flesh of blood. Here is an entity whose skeleton is made of wood and stone. Its eyes are glass but they are no less seeing. Its breath is the wind, but it is no less alive. You have heard of ways to quiet the restless spirits of the dead, but how do you lay a house to rest?

Welcome to the The House of Lament , a haunted house crawl for D&D 5e (2024), levels 2-3. This is my own adaptation of the 5e adventure of the same name, using elements of its original 2e printing and several tweaks I made while testing Flee, Mortals! to give it some extra ✨peril✨. I've run it once before and would love to take it for another spin. This will be a 4 session affair, played weekly on Monday evenings at 7pm (CET) and starting on December 8. We will use Roll20 as a VTT and discord for voice + everything else. Each session will require you to be available for about 4 hours, have a good microphone, and a quiet environment. Note that the game will take us through the holiday season! I don't celebrate, so I am primarily looking for others who would otherwise be in a social black void during December. A little about me: I'm Anna, 36, and we may have crossed paths around the server or in a dark crossroads before. I've been playing and running many different TTRPG systems for about 10 years. I think D&D works super well as an action dungeon crawler with lots of challenges to solve, butts to kick, and class resources to manage, and those are aspects I like to emphasize. I stick closely to the rules, say "no" often, stay quiet often and let players take the lead. I expect players to engage with curiosity, in good faith, and with awareness of what makes the best experience for the group, that is, prioritising the people at the table ahead of the characters and of story verisimilitude. More information and application form are here . Please do not message me directly, and no need to reply to this thread! Just the application form will do. I'll be in touch with potential players by November 25 and we may do a little try-out session, or just have a chat. Assume the worst if you don't hear back.
