Adaptable Encounters – Cursed Roads

Description

Adaptable Encounters: Cursed Roads contains ten short horror-themed encounters designed for travel scenes and wilderness routes. Each encounter can be used during the Halloween season or placed naturally in any adventure that involves a forest path, lonely road, or rural trail.

These encounters are meant to make travel more engaging and unpredictable. They turn ordinary movement between locations into moments of tension, mystery, or danger, helping the journey feel alive instead of repetitive.

Every encounter includes clear triggers, flexible difficulty, and self-contained rewards so the Game Master can insert them easily into an ongoing campaign without additional preparation.

Encounters in this volume:

• Desecrated Land
• Haunted House On The Road
• Man-eater Tree
• Pumpkin Rider
• Runic Circle
• The Falling Star
• The Final Howl
• The Hill of Thirteen Graves
• The House that Hungers
• Whispers in the Canopy
