Thank you for writing this adventure! It fits perfectly with the ideas I have for an adventure based on the background-story of one of my players who plays a warlock.
Thank you so much! :D Makes me very happy to hear how well this lined up with your adventure plans and one of the character's backgrounds. I hope it's a lot of fun to incorporate!
Oooooo nice, this Saturday?! I hope you all have a blast, and that some characters lose their marbles a bit! :D (it's always more fun that way, mwahahahaha!)
Very nice read through. Will be running this tonight as an add on to another one shot I was running that we didn't quite finish. Love running Horror and both your bundles of Horror have been great fun so far!
i’m planning on running this for a party of 3!! they really wanted some cosmic/space horror story, so i’m planning on adapting this to a sci-fi world and i’m very excited. will update on how it goes!
Hope my players have a madding time with this run, all of AL runs have been AWESOME! Will be fun to see how monk and samurai deal with the clot (D&D mixed with Legends of the 5 rings setting) thanks for these well-crafted treats!
Very possibly!! I have a little document/supplement I've been poking around with about The Arcane Library and its inhabitants for a while, so perhaps that information shall surface some day... ;D
I just got this adventure I’m excited to run it next week, big fan of cosmic horror and hp love craft. We plan on playing call of cuthul soon but this will be a great stepping stone
Wow, wow, wow...just ran this for my party this evening. What a kick in the pants this adventure is all around! The insanity points, the hook, the theater boxes - the list goes on and on. I don't want to ramble too much, but I will say that were it not for Eliza (from a previous horror series adventure from Kelsey), my party would all be dead at this point. Everyone was seriously spooked - yet they all had a great time playing through the adventure. This is too good to miss, folks - you need this adventure in your campaign.
Awesome! One of my players is veny into cosmis horror and Cthuhlu themes so he'll get a lot out of this one. That Tome will make a great central artifact for future adventures too....
Hello Kelsey. On Thursday we played this module and we experienced some strange moments. After that I read text of the module and I have some questions. Do you have mail or Discord when I can ask you about them?
@@jersonjanprucha2956 Hi Jerson! I scoured my email and didn't see one from you, unfortunately -- I wonder if it didn't make it through the internet to me! I'm so sorry. I'd love to read what you have to say if you wouldn't mind trying to send it to me again!
I’m not sure if you still check this but I’m new to DMing and I was wondering if my players should have/need any magic items for this last fight because of all his resistances and immunities? Or will it probably work out okay without. Sorry if this is a dumb question! Thank you!
Hi Cade! Thanks for asking. I think probably at least two characters should have a magic weapon, even if just +1 (I usually write mid-tier adventures under that assumption, although I know there isn’t really a “standard” out there for that sort of thing!). And I think a few healing potions is never a bad idea - the last fight is very challenging and can absolutely take multiple characters down to 0 HP. It can help enormously if the group has an effective ranged fighter or a melee fighter who can fly!
@@TheArcaneLibrary thank you so much for replying! All of this makes a lot of sense and I was already gonna throw in some potions for them to find and find ways to make it a little easier on them if it gets out of hand.
I bought the Horror Bundle 2! I can't wait to run this one. Quick question, though, since I don't run pre-written adventures. Do I actually read the "Background" section at the top to my players before we begin diving into the adventure? Or is all that information that they discover throughout the game session?
Thanks so much for scoping out my work! :) Both the Background and Synopsis sections are for the DM's eyes only, but it's information that's good for you to know going into the game since there will be opportunities for the players to discover that stuff as the adventure proceeds. In some cases, the opening scenes draw a bit on the information set up in the Background, so you'll probably be sharing a small bit of it upfront. I hope that makes sense! :)
@@TheArcaneLibrary Yes! And thank you! I also just picked up "Red Sky at Morning" since one of my PCs in our main game has a Pirate/Sailory background, and we'll be on the seas in the future. Ghostlight also looks amazing. I've been DMing for 3 years now and these are the first adventures/supplements I've yet to buy, and I'm really excited to use them.
I love this adventure and your content. Also your expression as you said, "they can read it," when talking about the tome, I feel is a sort of universal emotion shared among all dungeonmasters everywhere.
On a more serious note, although so far I have only watched 3 of the 4 vids you dropped here "today" I think this one is hand down the most interesting. And honestly, that IS Really Saying Something, haha. Because I love what I've seen of your work from before these! But anyhow, something that really stands out on this one is that, IMO, it excels far beyond 'just D&D'. What I mean is that I could totally/easily see using this as a Call of Cthulhu or Warhammer RPG session (or basically any setting that mirrors those!)
@@mandodelorian4668 That is super kind of you, thank you so much! There was something I loved about writing each of these adventures, but I had so much enthusiasm for this one in particular with the overt Lovecraftian vibes. I don't get to do that and get away with it very often! :D

I've been binge watching these adventure walkthroughs and I swear that vehicle drives by in the background in each and every one. Lol. 😂
Hahahahhahaha right?! THE ONE TIME I'M FILMING
I'm gonna run this tomorrow, looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to the madness aspect of it, sounds fun.
Your overview of the adventure has inspired me to run this for Halloween. Thanks for sharing the insight!
Running this on Saturday night! Really excited about it
Oooooo nice, this Saturday?! I hope you all have a blast, and that some characters lose their marbles a bit! :D (it's always more fun that way, mwahahahaha!)
Looking forward to running this. It looks great and easy to run.
I hope you have a great time with it if you get a chance to run it! :)

Madness Inducing Shambling Horror from Beyond the Darkness???
I'll grab my bastard sword.
Yessssssss!
Hope my players have a madding time with this run, all of AL runs have been AWESOME! Will be fun to see how monk and samurai deal with the clot (D&D mixed with Legends of the 5 rings setting) thanks for these well-crafted treats!
This sounds amazing! Imma buy this and run it. Thx
Thanks so much! :D
Awesome! Will we ever see this creature from your shirt, and the Arcane Library, in an adventure?!?
Very possibly!! I have a little document/supplement I've been poking around with about The Arcane Library and its inhabitants for a while, so perhaps that information shall surface some day... ;D

It was a close call!! This is a tough one for sure. I'm so glad Eliza was there and helped out!!! :D
Running this for our Halloween session, I'm really excited!
Yessssss! I hope you all have a great time!! :D
Hello, You make great easy to understand/run one shot adventure. Bought them all. Btw, you have gorgeous hair.
Well thank you so much! Two of the best compliments ever?! Made my day! 😊
Awesome! One of my players is veny into cosmis horror and Cthuhlu themes so he'll get a lot out of this one. That Tome will make a great central artifact for future adventures too....
Cosmic horror? Lovecraftian? Just hook it to my veins!
Hehehehe yesssss! I'm so glad I finally got to write an all-out Lovecraftian adventure! :D
A Barbarian, a Bard, a Warlock, and a Necromancer walk into the theater... 🤣😍😋 I'm excited for this one. Good to see you!
@@JeffsGameBox Thank you so much, Jeff! 😊 I hope the barbarian, bard, warlock, and necromancer are able to walk out again (mwahahahaha)!

Hi Jerson! Of course, you can always email me at kelsey (at) thearcanelibrary.com (hopefully the TH-cam bots don't remove that)!
@@TheArcaneLibrary Just so I know I didn't something wrong - did you get my e-mail?

my PCs loved this one shot!! is it based on Bloodborne? if not, you definitely need to play it!!
This module is amazing!
It's too good not to adapt to my Call of Cthulhu game.
❤ your work Kelsey!
It's a perfect fit for a Call of Cthulhu game! :D
Hey, I was wondering. Is there any idea with starting gear for the players for this one shot?
I bought the Horror Bundle 2! I can't wait to run this one.
Quick question, though, since I don't run pre-written adventures. Do I actually read the "Background" section at the top to my players before we begin diving into the adventure? Or is all that information that they discover throughout the game session?

@@Groznor.Grumbles I really appreciate that, thank you so much! :D
You had me at Lovecraftian!!!🤣🤣
It’s definitely got those Cthulhu vibes! 👽
I’m so addicted to Horror Babble and his love craft readings! Love your work to BTW! Keep it up👊🏼👊🏼🧙🏽♂️🧝🏼♂️🎲
@@michaeljimenez802 Thanks so much! :D
....Can the brave hero's exit stage left, before the Veil of Madness drops...
"Exit, pursued by an Elder Thing!"
How many players is this meant to be for? I'm really interested in running g this but before I buy it I want to know.
It’s for 4-5 players! 👍
@@TheArcaneLibrary Thanks!
I love this adventure and your content.
Also your expression as you said, "they can read it," when talking about the tome, I feel is a sort of universal emotion shared among all dungeonmasters everywhere.
Hahahaha so true, what DM doesn't want the characters to read an evil book?? Best plot hook of all time!
@@TheArcaneLibrary Every party has the easily tempted one doesn't it heheuueueheheuh...
