So, I just purchased the Haunted Heroes Handbook in anticipation of using it to enhance my Carrion Crown game. Inside I ran across the Sceptic archetype, and how very clearly Velma from Scooby Doo it is, and the hoaxing rules. I also, coincidentally, am currently reading Meddling Kids, a wonderful horror novel very much Scooby Doo based, so I have mystery solving on the brain. That thus led to this idea, The Haunting of Harrowstone was a hoax perpetrated by Gibbs, Father Grimburrow and, before his untimely death, Professor Lorrimor in an effort to bring rich adventurers into town to boost the economy. Unfortunately, the Whispering Way thought the professor had stumbled upon them when he was setting some traps one day, and killed him. This brought his student, the Sceptic, and her mystery solving friends to his funeral, and a greatly weakened Splatter Man joins Gibbs and Father Grimburrow in their efforts to scare the town.
I would not plan to run anybody through this, but it might make a cool story. Does anybody have any ideas on how to hoax some of the Haunts of Harrowstone? I am not against using Magic at all, and even a few greatly weakened actually Haunted things.
