An event-based adventure for 5th-level characters.
Falcon's Hollow has long been watched by the vile fey of Darkmoon Vale. They've lingered in their wood, seething with anger at the townspeople for defiling their land. When the carnival arrives, the fey finally see their chance for vengeance.
Carnival of Tears is a low-level, event-based adventure written by Nicolas Logue and Tim Hitchcock that pits the players against a band of wretched fey who have infiltrated a carnival in order to unleash their anger on Falcon's Hollow. When the heroes uncover the dark secrets within, will they act in time to prevent Falcon's Hollow from becoming the carnival's final patrons?
GameMastery Modules are 32-page, high-quality, full-color, OGL-compatible adventures for use with the world's most popular fantasy RPG. All GameMastery Modules include four pre-made characters so players can jump right into the action, and full-color maps to enhance play.

Two thumbs way up on this one!
This dark tale will definitely get my players blood going, seeing that already they have done a few WTF from Crown of the Kobold King (Thanx Nick).
Tim & Nick both have nicely set the bar for horror with this one, not for the faint of heart and those ol fans of Ravenloft (I know your still out there) will feel a bit of nostalgia when they get creeped out by the events at the carnival!
Again... nicely done ;)
Thanks Lord Thavian! Tim is a sick genius. I love working with him! Glad you enjoyed Carnival!

My thanks as well LT! Its great to hear how much people like Carnival being as working with Nick was probably the most fun I've ever had writing a module. While we were writing the Carnival Song, he forced me to sing it with him in a very crowded public place. It haunts me to this day.
Nick effortlessly puts the scary into almost everything.

To Nick and Tim:
I am running this adventure for my group now and it has been a total blast! My wife who is playing in this game has had to repeatedly reset her jaw to its normal upright position after having it hit the table and/or floor repeatedly. My other players seam to be having similar problems with their anatomy, primarily experiencing nausea as well as difficulty controlling their bladders and colons. My players also seem to be experiencing issues mentally as well, however having leeches fall from the sky can do that to some people.
It has been my extreme pleasure to run this module, and I would love to read more work from your collaborated minds.
Cheers to two men who put the "laughter" back in slaughter.

I have to agree with everyone who said this module is brutal, but it's hard to see how it could be anything else. To me, it feels appropriate, but then I'm a big fan of the pre-Shakespeare fey, what a friend calls "the very alien and always dangerous others". Really, this is a great horror story from beginning to end.
That said... I've got a hard time seeing how anyone can be expected to feel sympathy for Falcon's Hollow and its inhabitants. The place and its people read like Mordor on a budget! Half the population are blindly evil (the lumberjacks, tearing down the home of the fey), and the rest are knowingly evil (Thuldrin Kreed, Kabran Bloodeye, and far too many others). I do get the idea that the PCs are supposed to help change the town in the long run, but sometimes it seems like it'd be easier to make like Lot, clear out the half-dozen or so non-vile sorts, and let a horde of orcs get the rest.
That said... this will be an odd question, but has anyone else had a male (or female) character step up to be a defender of poor lovely Ralla Hebraddan or the other 'working girls' Bloodeye keeps around? (And BTW, thanks to the authors for staying away from the 'happy hooker' stereotype. It's got its place, but man oh man does Hollywood overdo it!)
