Suggested Scenarios for Friday the 13th


GM Discussion

2/5

So I'm looking at gametime next Friday, and I've realized it's going to be Friday the 13th. Anyone have suggestions for thematically appropriate scenarios?

The two that come to mind are the Midnight Mauler (hunting a werewolf) and Voice in the Void (Chthulu's basement!) Unfortunately, the players at the table have played both already.

Any other thoughts?

5/5 5/55/5 ** Venture-Captain, Germany—Hamburg

Among the Living: Good old zombie-bashing.
Tide of Twilight: Party members get transformed into beasts while on the mission.
The Pallid Plague: Evil cults who try to spread strange diseases.
The Penumbral Accords: Evil shadow rituals at the Blakros Museum

1/5 Venture-Captain, Texas—Texarkana

Wow... how did I miss the fact next Friday is the 13th?

I really like Tide of Twilight The Midnight Mauler. But the Blakros Matrimony is a good one too.


The Flesh Collector 2-16 (7-11) has a creepy name, takes place in Nex, deals with spirits, and has a creepy name. It sounds like it should work.

And also I haven't played it (it's one of the two on the table for 13.12.12, so please don't spoil it for me.)

Dark Archive 4/5

The Cultists Kiss (7-11): Dark cult, great setting and sinister goings on. It feels like a horror movie.

5/5

I just ran The Traitor's Lodge, and it has a great, creepy feel that would fit well for Friday the 13th.

Of course, if you're looking for something unlucky, you might want to look at a scenario with

pugwampis. The only one I can think of is The Sanos Abduction.

Grand Lodge 4/5

Black Waters. Nothing spells bad luck as much as a site which has mostly fallen off a cliff, exposing a necropolis, with appropriate undead inhabitants, and the creepy guy doing the gardening...

Lantern Lodge 5/5

You Only Die Twice is a sort of offbeat horror choice.

+1 if there are multiple Clerics/Paladins in your group.

It is a GREAT scenario. Interesting RP, interesting fights, and interesting story. Plus, a KILLER gimmick!

Darkest Vengeance would also be really good.

Or, what about just offering scenarios numbered 13?

13 Prince of Augustana,
2-13 Murder on the Throaty Mermaid, and
4-13 Fortress of the Nail.

3-13 Defenders of Nesting Swallows would probably not be the best part as it is part three of a series.

5/5 ** RPG Superstar 2008 Top 16

Among the Dead is particularly well-suited for Friday the 13th play, as the party takes on...

Spoiler:
servants of the god of unforseen misfortune.
