Well, I know it's not a Portuguese tradition, but several years ago my RPG group created the "Halloween RPG Night". By that time we played "Vampire, The Masquerade" so it was really easy to create an appropriate adventure for that special night. We were young, non-committed and because 1st of November is a holiday in Portugal we played all night through.
Fast Forwarding to 2000... The GM (that would be me) and the group core decided to reinstall the tradition with DD3E. It worked very well... in the beginning... than everybody got children and the quest for the convenient time to play turned impossible...
Fast Forwarding to 2008. This year, I am trying to exhume the Halloween Game Night (pardon the pun), but I have no time to create myself an adventure from the ground zero... So, I am asking for advises... What DD3.5 module do you recommend? It can be scary, spooky, funny (black humor sort of funny) but it has to be dark... Well, saccharine can be scary too, but that's not what I am looking for...
My players aren't very keen on gore, but are adult, mature, intelligent and open minded. Prefer roleplaying to roll-playing, good laughs to angst ridden plots (been there, done that... 15 years ago) and we don't mind doing cliché because of the laughs and the nostalgia...
As a GM I am looking for a dark, funny, easy to manage adventure for 4, 5 players and playable in just 4 or 5 hours.
I thank you in advance for your suggestions.
