We're going retro
We've styled this module to feel like you took a time machine back to your local hobby shop circa 1981 and grabbed this off the shelf in between the Dieties and Demigods book and the Grenadier boxed set of Dwarves #2003. It features the classic style cover¸ pen and ink drawings¸ and the vintage blue style maps (placed on the inside front and back covers of course). We hope you enjoy playing this one as much as we enjoyed making it!
Return of the Dullahan
This module is inspired by the classic American short story written by Washington Irving in 1820¸ The Legend of Sleepy Hollow . The story takes place in the small town of Sleepy Hollow¸ where strange occurrences begin to happen after the arrival of a new schoolteacher¸ Ichabod Crane. The town is known for its spooky legends¸ one of which is about a Headless Horseman¸ a terrifying figure who is said to haunt the area.
Washington Irving¸ the author of the original story¸ was a prominent American writer of the early 19th century. He is considered one of the first American writers to gain international acclaim¸ and his work helped to shape American literature. His writings often explored the themes of folklore¸ tradition¸ and the supernatural.
We have designed this module with a tip of the hat to the Advanced Dungeons & Dragon modules of the late 1970's and early 1980's. The classic early modules masterfully combined exploration¸ encounters¸ puzzles¸ mystery¸ and problem solving in a way that challenged and entertained players.
The modules begged to be played in dimly lit basements while friends scarfed down chips and soda and laughed¸ hooted¸ and howled their way through a campaign. The events in this module take place just after the events that occurred in the original short story. Players will have the opportunity to explore the town of Sleepy Hollow¸ uncover and solve a mystery¸ and battle some scary foes!
