Hello and welcome, adventurers and Game Masters!

In honour of Halloween and Samhain I’m proud to announce the release of THE PUMPKIN MAN (which is technically my November release), a day early so folx can enjoy it on the holiday! This book is a spooky holiday-themed one-shot adventure intended for a group of 4-6 players of levels 4th to 6th level. This is my second adventure to take place in my newly introduced expansion area of The Dales, the ancestral home of the halflings, gnomes and dwarves in my campaign world!

Synopsis: This adventure taken place on a dark & stormy Samhain night. A sudden downpour forces you to seek refuge at the only place nearby, a venerable manor house known far and wide as the demense a fine and upstanding halfling family, the Foggybottoms of Willowston and environsHowever, as soon as you arrive at Foggybottom Manor the oddest things start happening. Clearly, all is not as it seems, and rather suddenly you find yourself embroiled in a dangerous quest to rescue your hosts’ kidnapped children from the clutches of a vile and ancient fae creature known as The Pumpkin Man! He’s taken the bairns as punishment for the family alleged betrayal of an ancient oath!

Can you defeat this Chaotic creature, rescue the children and save the day?

This supplement contains a completely original one-shot adventure, ready for immediate use with very little preparation by the GM or the players! This book contains great Old School art and maps, with detailed encounters for each area. An Old School hex map of adventure’s locale in The Dales*, is also included, with information on geography, local settlements, and showing areas for further exploration. This scenario was written such that the GM begins the adventure by telling the players a scary story, which then morphs into an interactive spooky tale told by the GM & players! Thus, there is a good deal of exposition as the GM sets the mood for this otherworldly adventure. It helps the creepy factor that the action takes places in a graveyard that’s actually in the land of Faerie! It doesn’t really get better than a graveyard in Faerie on Halloween, does it?! 

This book features 20 pages of excitement and thrills, and this spooky adventure is sure to to be a hit with discerning GMs and players looking for an adventire to play on SamhainAll Hallows Eve and/or Halloween!

PLUS you also get a free copy of my 2021 Starry Knight Press Catalog, which has information on all of my modules and supplements, as well as maps of the known portions of my campaign world of Terrans, and bonus content (new monsters and magic items for OSR/5E) from my published books!

*Geography Note: For those GM's playing in my published campaign world, be advised this adventure takes place in and around Willowston a halfling village located in a heavily wooded area of The Dales, a large land mass in the author’s campaign world comprising a large fertile valley surrounded on all four sides by nearly impenetrable mountains. The manor house where the action occurs is situated 3 miles outside the village, along a trade route. The events herein occur on the evening of Samhain, when the veil between this world and the next is thin and it is easier for beings from the Other Side to cross over into ours.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
