General Hallowe'en is coming...

So it's almost that time of year.

Is anyone planning on running any scary Traveller games for the Holiday?

Anybody going to incorporate Mothership, Hostile, or even Screams Amongst the Stars into a Traveller game?

Who's got some ideas to share?

I did run play Death Station one time that coincidentally was at Halloween. Sadly, I am not good at running horror-style games. Probably because I really don't like horror or scary stories (yes, I'll admit to being a big chicken. And that's okay by me!)

I did that ghost story scene in the PbP, if that counts....

Edit to add: and there's some potential left in that scenario, too.

Vargr Krampus

Recently on the Traveller Discord, I was asked if the Vargr had any such observances in the Vargr Extents or Vargr Enclaves. I thought about this question and came up with an IMTU concept. Close to the end of the Imperial Calendar year, some week or more before Holiday, comes the Vargr...

Challenge magazine put out some special Horror issues (46,54,65) that had some Traveller stories in them you could use.

#54-MEGATRAVELLER * To Sleep, Perchance to Scream
#65- MEGATRAVELLER * Deadly Artifact

Great title!

I've never been much of a fan of ghost stories, but I do love strange aliens and creature stories.

I can't help but wonder what kind of dark and disturbing observances other Sophants have. And I'm sure there are a few planets of Humaniti who have some 'creepy' beliefs & observances from the early days of their planets colonization due to strange happenings and phenomena that would send shivers up & down the spine of any visitors.

And thanks to @The Pakkrat for once again giving us some insight into the Vargr culture.

Another bookmarked post and I think this would make a great addition to my TU.
