  Havenwood Manor looms ominously on the edge of town, its crumbling facade and overgrown gardens serving as a haunting reminder of the dark secrets that lie within. Once a grand estate belonging to the wealthy Sinclair family, the mansion now stands abandoned, its halls echoing with the whispers of the past and the restless spirits of its former inhabitants. A group of unsuspecting individuals find themselves drawn to the mansion, each with their own reasons for seeking refuge within its decaying walls. Little do they know, they've walked into a nightmare from which there may be no escape.

  Once these guests take a step over the threshhold to the manor, they are unable to leave. There is a curse that was placed on the manor that prevents them from doing so. They are able to explore the gardens and the outside perimeters leading to the woods and may even enter the woods, but once they attempt to go any further, an invisible force s the unsuspecting guests back into the perimeters of the manor. These are not the only forces that the guests have to be wary of. They also must contend with Nightmares and Hunters.

   The Nightmares are malevolent entities born from the darkness that permeates Havenwood Manor, twisted manifestations of the mansion's cursed history and the tortured souls of its former inhabitants. For centuries, the mansion has been a place of suffering and despair, its halls echoing with the screams of the damned and the whispers of the dead. The Nightmares feed on fear and despair, drawing strength from the negative emotions of those who enter Havenwood Manor's cursed halls. They take various forms, appearing as grotesque phantoms, spectral apparitions, and twisted abominations, each more terrifying than the last. Driven by an insatiable hunger for souls, the Nightmares seek to torment the guests of Havenwood Manor, trapping them within their own worst nightmares and feeding on their terror until nothing remains but empty husks. They are relentless in their pursuit, appearing when least expected and striking with deadly precision, leaving behind only death and destruction in their wake.

  The Hunters are a group of supernatural beings, serial killers, and other nefarious creatures who roam the dark and twisted woods surrounding Havenwood Manor. Each hunter has their own twisted motives and desires, ranging from a thirst for blood and vengeance to a desire for power and control. Some Hunters are supernatural entities drawn to Havenwood Manor by the dark energy that permeates its cursed halls. Others are serial killers who see the mansion and its surrounding woods as the perfect hunting ground for their twisted games of cat and mouse. Regardless of their origins, the hunters are united by their insatiable hunger for prey and their relentless pursuit of those who dare to venture into their domain. Hunters will sometimes make their way iNto the Manor, guests beware.

  When creating your character, you may decide on whether you want to become an esteemed Guest, a Nightmare, or a ruthless Hunter.

   With Guests, you can choose any occupation you want your character to have, for example, a paranormal investigator, a medium, a journalist, a demonologist, an exorcist. You could even have your character be a nurse, lawyer, bartender. It doesn't necessarily have to be a job relating to the supernatural. The possibilities are endless.

 

   Nightmares are manifestations of the guests' deepest fears, twisted reflections of their inner demons, and agents of chaos seeking to plunge Havenwood Manor into further darkness. They take various forms, appearing as hallucinations, phantoms, or nightmares come to life, tormenting the guests with visions of their worst fears. Think of your worst possible fear.

 

   Examples include:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Fear of the Unknown: This Nightmare preys on the fear of the unknown, manifesting as shadowy figures lurking in the darkness, unseen whispers echoing through the halls, and shifting shadows that seem to move of their own accord. You instill a sense of paranoia and dread in the guests, making them question their surroundings and each other as they struggle to discern what is real and what is merely a trick of the mind.

 

2. Claustrophobia: This Nightmare exploits the fear of confinement and suffocation, manifesting as tightening walls, shrinking corridors, and rooms that seem to close in on themselves. You induce feelings of panic and claustrophobia in the guests, making them feel trapped and helpless as they struggle to find a way out of the ever-shifting maze of the Manor.

 

3. Abandonment: This Nightmare preys on the fear of being alone and abandoned, manifesting as empty rooms, desolate hallways, and ghostly apparitions of loved ones long gone. You evoke feelings of isolation and despair in the guests, making them question their sanity and their grip on reality as they search for companionship and solace in the darkness.

 

4. Guilt and Regret: This Nightmare exploits the fear of past mistakes and regrets, manifesting as haunting visions of past traumas, guilt-ridden memories, and spectral figures accusing the guests of their sins. You trigger feelings of remorse and self-loathing in the guests, forcing them to confront their past actions and the consequences of their choices as they struggle to find redemption in the twisted corridors of the Manor.

 

5. Death and Decay: This Nightmare embodies the fear of mortality and decay, manifesting as rotting corpses, skeletal apparitions, and the stench of death that permeates the air. You induce feelings of revulsion and terror in the guests, confronting them with the inevitability of their own mortality and the fragility of life as they face the horrors of the grave within the cursed halls of the Manor.

 

   You can be any fear that you can think of, you can use one of the examples or create your own. You will torment the guests and make them wish that they never stepped foot into the Manor. You can even mingle with the other Nightmares and help each other to torment the poor souls of the Manor. You can even manifest yourself to look like a human to trick the guests into trusting you. Nightmares are also known to roam outside of the manor as well, sometimes tormenting the hunters.

 

   The Hunters are a group of supernatural beings, serial killers, and other nefarious creatures who roam the dark and twisted woods surrounding the Manor. Each hunter has their own twisted motives and desires, ranging from a thirst for blood and vengeance to a desire for power and control
