Wandering One-Shots is a series of self-contained, single-session adventures exploring different roleplaying game systems - with no prior experience required. We provide all the materials; all we need is you!
Every Halloween the senior class of Drutton High throws a huge party in one of the preppy kid's mansions on the outskirts of town. This year, they've gone completely wild and chose to throw the party in the huge abandoned mansion completely cut off to the public. You know, the one with all that yellow caution tape all over it and the weird mist that rises around it every night. Yeah, that one.
I heard that most of the older kids would rather die than set foot in there, so they chose to invite us freshmen to see if any of us were brave enough to do it. And... we totally are... right? Like, we're not chicken.
So yeah, we're gonna go. I mean, this could be the opportunity of a lifetime! We finally have a chance to get into the "in" crowd. There's only one problem, all of our costumes suck! So, we've gotta come up with something AWESOME. Something that'll knock the socks off The Preps and show them that we can hang.
The theatre nerds keep saying that it's just a cover up for some weird hazing ritual, that the party is just a front to "sacrifice the newbies to the undead and trade their lives for the Preps' immortality". So stupid. They're just trying to scare everyone into not going so they can have less competition in impressing the seniors. We're not falling for it, right? Right.
You're gonna rock this party, and show everyone why you deserve to be one of the school's popular elite. You're prepared, mind, body and spirit. You couldn't be more ready for this, and no dumb superstitious rumour is gonna stand in your way.
// Come play a Cypher System-powered one-shot adventure where your Halloween costume comes to life and grants you incredible powers and special abilities. Players who come dressed as their chosen costume will get bonus in-game experience points to wield against the dangers and surprises you'll find within the halls of the Barren Mansion. //
Please send the DM a Halloween costume sentence composed in the Cypher System Character Sentence style: "I am an [adjective] [noun] who [verbs]" at least one week in advance of your game if you don't want a pre-generated character.
Some examples: "I am a vicious werewolf who rends flesh, I am a mischievous pixie who casts hexes, I am a sultry vampire who manipulates minds"
Note: Please try to avoid Halloween costumes referencing specific IP or characters, as they are a bit tougher to accommodate into this system.
