My favorite holiday of the year is a little over a month away. My trick-or-treating days are behind me but I still enjoy decorating the house and watching horror films.
I also love to run Halloween or horror themed Savage Worlds one-shots. So much I wish Halloween lasted a whole month.
In case you’re feeling uninspired but still interested in running a Halloween-themed Savage Worlds game for your group here are ten free options. Some of them require more than just the core rules to play, some of them also include pre-generated characters and other props which is great.
This is free One-Sheet written by Dave Blewer involves a Dark God Cult and takes place in a hospital. If you’d like to delve into madness this is a great option.
Penned by Savage Worlds rules guru Clint Black and John Goff the man who gave you Night Train, this Rippers adventure pits the player characters against demon worshippers.
Written by Shane Lacy Hensley, this free adventure for Deadlands Reloaded also requires the Horror Companion to play because the stats for the main villain are in there.
For years this was the adventure that came with the Test Drive Rules for FreeRpgDay before it was replaced by Triple Cross for the Lankhmar setting. Again, John Goff has written a solid and fun adventure. It comes with pre-generated characters, figure flats, handouts and the test drive rules. Very plug and play.
This fan made adventure by Chris Jackson takes place at a Halloween party in a friend’s house.
Scooby Doo anybody? +Brian Reeves puts out a well written Halloween adventure that comes with pre-generated character sheets of the character we’ve come to love.
Another great offering from +Brian Reeves featuring the characters from the Bram Stoker novel. It has setting rules, new powers and pre-generated characters.
Written by Sean Preston of Reality Blurs, this Agents of Oblivion mini-mission takes place during the Pumpkin Festival.
While it requires Zombacalypse from Silver Gryphon Games, this One-Sheet adventure by Kevin Rohan could be run without it. It’s an interesting twist to the zombie genre.
This Savage Tale for Beasts & Barbarians takes place during festivities where people dress up and wear masks (sounds like Halloween to me). Umberto Pignatelli definitely gets the sword & sorcery tropes but this dungeon crawl also follows some of the Lovecraft tales of horror tropes with some of the creatures the heroes will have to face. If your group prefers the Fantasy genre, you can’t go wrong with this. It could easily be adapted for another setting if you don’t have the Beasts & Barbarians book. But if you do, there are pre-generated characters available.
With all these options I might have to make Halloween last for the whole month of October.There are certainly more options out there. Maybe you’ve written something for Halloween that my google-fu failed to pick up. Why don’t you share it with us? What else would you recommend for this spooky holiday that is free?
