I am thinking about doing Mystery Boxes again this year. What do you think? Did you like the ones last year? This year I think will be better as I have some really nice items to add to them. But if there is no interest I am not going to go through the effort.

Thanks for the answer. I kept coming up with possibilities that we’d already done, and no one else has guessed it, yet.
I could be wrong, but I have a feeling when we learn what business the family is in, we’ll all go, “Ohhhh!”

"A Cold Spot", the first scenario in Coming Full Circle. It's so long since I ran it - over thirty years - and I don't own the book anymore, so I can't remember if this was in the scenario as written or if it was my own embellishment, but this was no "ordinary ghost"; it could possess you, like a Demon. It was incorporeal, so closing and locking doors was useless, weapons were useless, and it could force you do things you didn't want to do...to your friends. Until they figured out how to defeat it, I don't think the group had ever been so panic-stricken.

It was the first time I actually thought "is this really fun?"

There are a couple of moments in CoC games I've found disturbing, and my one shot of Darkest Hour had some cool unsettling moments, but I think probably my first play of Thousand Year Old Vampire, which I didn't - and still don't - feel comfortable sharing my write up of.

I would have no interest in an AI generated RPG in terms of setting, story, mechanisms, characters. I would strongly prefer it not be used in any capacity but would not be overly bothered if it were used for grammar checking or something like page layout if it were a small company that didn't have the means to produce a more polished product

I play and run horror themed RPGs from time to time but can't recall being personally scared during a session (nor would I particularly want to). I do remember a group of us playing the game Dread around the dining room table one night though. During a particularly tense moment, my wife (at the time) abruptly opened the door nearby and my teenage (at the time) son nearly jumped to the ceiling. Theres\'s something about the Jenga tower that defintiely heightens the tension/fear in that game.

Thanks for the thorough answer and for the great advice, Tim!

I've also read Kloster's "Skaventide", and I can totally see what you're talking about.

Thanks again! I'll post if I do run it. 👍

The Vivian Girls and their long and tortured history. No luck with drummers. Sort of SpinalTappian in a way?

Back in the '90s, I played in a game where the DM was running the original Ravenloft module. He did such a good job with the horror elements that he gave himself nightmares and had to cut the campaign short for his own mental health.

It might anything completely written by AI (from yesterday's QOTD).
