Tomb of Horrors
SHOCKTOBER has come around again! Ch’omasa, Daffné, L’nell, and Thald are back to see what horrors await within the tomb. They do actually make it inside this year! But how far in? And how safely? Spooky illusions and dastardly baddies abound in this second installment of Tomb of Horrors! Host Scott McNulty with Annette Wierstra, Mikah Sargent, Monty Ashley and Nick Scott.
Happy SHOCKTOBER, everyone! To celebrate the spooky season we bring you a new, extra-long, high-level campaign. Some familiar faces (and one new one!) attempt that classic, deadly adventure, Tomb of Horrors. Will Ch’omasa, Daffné, L’nell, and Thald survive the Tomb? Will they even get in? Will they have to come back in a year to continue the adventure? Maaayyyybe! Host Scott McNulty with Annette Wierstra, Mikah Sargent, Monty Ashley and Nick Scott.
Our second run through “A Night in Seyvoth Manor” comes to an end. What’s in the flesh book? What surprise do the Mystery Wagon gang have in store for the vampiric dealmaster, Malthus Seyvoth? Will resurrected monster Henry find love with his vampire girlfriend? Some of your questions may be answered! Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Mikah Sargent, Jane Ritt, Monty Ashley, Steve Lutz and Annette Wierstra.
A fleshy tome and a magic circle suggest a deal with a demon could be near. And pizza rolls might not be far behind. But if you’ve already made a deal with a vampire, does a demon deal define double dealing? Look, we’ve been at this a long time and it’s almost over. But not quite yet. Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Mikah Sargent, Steve Lutz, Monty Ashley, Jane Ritt and Annette Wierstra.
When we last left the Scüpy Gang, they were entering the lair of villanous Count Mathus Seyvoth, who might be a vampire or maybe an umpire. 11 months later, it’s time to throw open the doors and discover the horrors—and great deals!—that await inside. Will our adventurers be able to resist the hard sell? And can a Zone of Truth spell really stop a master salesman? Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Jane Ritt, Annette Wierstra, Monty Ashley, Steve Lutz and Mikah Sargent.
The end of Shocktober 2019 is in sight, but rather than taking on the evil Lord Seyvoth directly, our adventurers have chosen to mop up a bunch of side quests, with the help of speed, steroids, and other questionable substances. IT ALL ENDS HERE! UNTIL NEXT YEAR! Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Jane Ritt, Annette Wierstra, Monty Ashley, Steve Lutz and Mikah Sargent.
At long last Scüp and the gang have reached the top floor of Seyvoth Manor! But there are some puzzles to solve and sheet music to obtain before this adventure can reach its conclusion… Host Dan Moren and Tony Sindelar with Jane Ritt, Annette Wierstra, Steve Lutz, Monty Ashley and Mikah Sargent.
So many creepy mansion rooms for the Mystery Wagon gang to explore, so little time! How will they keep Fluffy and Henry from drinking from a blood fountain? What’s the message that a ghost in a mirror has to impart, and does it involve amazing bargains on mirrors? And Henry grapples with returning memories of his life before death. But in a spooky way because he’s a Fantasy Canadian Frankenstein Monster now! Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Jane Ritt, Annette Wierstra, Mikah Sargent, Monty Ashley and Steve Lutz.
As Shocktober 2019 continues, Scüp and the gang continue fleeing a necrotic vortex, and then explore Seyvoth Manor’s equally spooky attic! Will this adventure continue to teach our players that books are dangerous? Probably! Host Dan Moren and Tony Sindelar with Jane Ritt, Annette Wierstra, Mikah Sargent, Monty Ashley and Steve Lutz.
We return to our spooky second run-through of A Night in Seyvoth Manor, with a somewhat familiar, but legally distinct, set of characters. It’s time to venture up to the second floor of the house! Will Fluffy drink something else magical and poisonous? And will those stuffed bears the characters keep finding help defuse a tense situation with a g-g-g-ghost? Find out as SHOCKTOBER 2019 begins! Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Annette Wierstra, Jane Ritt, Mikah Sargent, Monty Ashley and Steve Lutz.
Shocktober 2018 concludes in the cells beneath Seyvoth Manor! Will our adventurers find either of the missing children they’ve been searching for, or is it werewolves all the way down? Are books the best weapons of all? And most importantly, will our heroes survive to play again in 2019? Some of those questions will be answered, probably unsatisfactorily, in this episode! Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Annette Wierstra, Jane Ritt, Monty Ashley, Steve Lutz and Mikah Sargent.
Into the basement of Seyvoth Manor! What manner of horrible things can be found in the underbuildings of a haunted mansion? How do you feel about tentacles—wait, don’t answer that. How about doors and hallways? And what life lessons can the trash fire teach us? Shocktober 2018 nears its fateful conclusion! Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Annette Wierstra, Jane Ritt, Monty Ashley, Mikah Sargent and Steve Lutz.
Continuing a trip through a spooky haunted mansion, our adventurers check out some plants and then, against their better judgment and the advice of others, leave the vestibule and descend into the basement to see if dogs are qualified to do brain surgery. (Turns out they are!) Host Dan Moren and Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Jane Ritt, Steve Lutz, Monty Ashley and Mikah Sargent.
There’s a library in Seyvoth Manor, once packed with books entertaining and informative. Now it lies in ruins, but a few magical books remain, with treasures and terrors in equal measure for those who are brave or foolish enough to explore. Like Fluffy, he’s plenty foolish enough. Host Dan Moren and Tony Sindelar with Monty Ashley, Annette Wierstra, Steve Lutz, Mikah Sargent and Jane Ritt.
It’s time for Shocktober 2018! We’re back in Seyvoth Manor, but not the one you may have heard before! It’s a new edition of D&D, a newly built version of the story, and most importantly, an entirely new group of players and characters. And there’s something strangely familiar, yet legally distinct, about the group. In this, the first of five episodes, our adventurers enter the house, debate the differences between a foyer and a vestibule, ponder if dogs are a kind of plant, and attempt a duet with a piano-playing ghost. Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Annette Wierstra, Steve Lutz, Mikah Sargent, Monty Ashley and Jane Ritt.
Shocktober comes to a spooky finale, at long last! Will our adventurers survive? What will be the fate of the two children they were tasked to save? Will Henry meet the fate of a Frankenstein (monster), or is there an exciting career as a Frankenstein (lawyer) ahead of him? It all ends here! Host Dan Moren and Tony Sindelar with Scott McNulty, Erika Ensign, Aleen Simms, Brian Hamilton and Jason Snell.
The final battle begins! Our adventurers take on vampire lord Malthus Seyvoth and his undead accomplices as our Shocktober adventure reaches its climax! Who will escape alive? Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Brian Hamilton, Aleen Simms, Erika Ensign, Jason Snell and Scott McNulty.
The journey through the creepy (and deadly) hall of mirrors comes to an end! But who will be left alive to solve the final math problem? Host Dan Moren and Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, Aleen Simms, Brian Hamilton, Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.
Deeper into the hall of mirrors! Our Shocktober adventurers grapple with some of their most terrifying foes yet: geometry and the possibility that they’ll need to solve a math problem. Plus energy beams and undead wraiths! Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Aleen Simms, Erika Ensign, Scott McNulty, Brian Hamilton and Jason Snell.
For our third (and final!) spooky year, we return to Seyvoth Manor, where a crew of adventurers is desperately trying to survive a spooky house and rescue two children who have been kidnapped from their village. This Shocktober surprise features a previously unexplored room, a spooky doll, and a final ascent to the third floor of the manor, where the evil lord Seyvoth awaits… Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Aleen Simms, Erika Ensign, Brian Hamilton, Jason Snell and Scott McNulty.
Shocktober concludes for this year with a whole lot of magic books and an appeal to the Angel of Justice that doesn’t go as planned. Host Dan Moren and Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, Aleen Simms, Brian Hamilton, Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.
Our Shocktober adventure does the Monster Mash with an adventure in a spooky laboratory with a cabinet full of brains, a storage room that’s got more than meets the eye, and a secret attic altar with a bunch of forbidden books. Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Erika Ensign, Aleen Simms, Brian Hamilton, Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.
Shocktober continues! Our adventurers grapple with a giant shambling monster made up of the body parts of various animals. Many things are regurgitated! Gruther is slammed! Arrows are let fly! Prison cells are investigated! An objective is located—twice! And then there’s a duck. So tune in, Jimmy! Host Dan Moren and Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, Aleen Simms, Brian Hamilton, Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.
Shocktober returns, and we return to Seyvoth Manor to continue our spooky crawl through a haunted house. Bats! Ghosts! Frankenstein’s Monsters! Shambling horrors! Who knows what spooky things we’ll find around the next corner… (This continues the story we played in episodes 61-64 last October.) Host Tony Sindelar and Dan Moren with Erika Ensign, Aleen Simms, Brian Hamilton, Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.
Our Shocktober special concludes with more battles with plants, a speed run through the mansion as time is about to expire, some books, a chest, a Legend of Zelda reference, and more spoooooky ghosts. Host Dan Moren and Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, Aleen Simms, Brian Hamilton, Warren Frey, Jason Snell and David J. Loehr.
Our Shocktober special continues with two of the most terrifying things you’ll ever find in a haunted mansion: books and plants. Host Dan Moren and Tony Sindelar with Brian Hamilton, Aleen Simms, Warren Frey, Jason Snell and Erika Ensign.
