This is a well known adventure for the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG, one often DMed for new players. And that bed frame is the single most devious thing in all of Call of Cthulhu. It hit my character. It hit every player character I DMed this scenario for. It hit every time I heard someone else describing them playing this scenario. This is one of the immutable truth sof TTRPGs, like "Players will try to abuse to Heat Metal." or "The best time to order pizza if someone throws a grenade in Shadowrun.": The bed frame in 'The Haunting' always hits. Always.
I ran this adventure 3 times for three different sets of new investigators, delighted and horrified all newcomers each and every time. One of my favorite results was the second playthrough, where Walter Corbett and one of the investigators had beat each other into a pulp, and each of them how had agreed to quit the matter entirely. Both of them were lying to the other, but the investigator was faster on the draw and stabbed Walter Corbett with the same enchanted dagger. the very same that Corbett attempted to kill investigators with earlier.
I don’t know why this channel has so few subs, I immediately did. I love this stuff, keep it coming. Feedback (if you want it), to build on the eeriness read a little slower and leave some pauses so the listener can create their mental image.
Much appreciated! The slow growth is probably because it could be a few months between videos. And thanks for the feedback! There's about 11 things I wish I did better in this video, but sometimes it's better to just finish it up and move on to the next.

There should be a sequel that casts the bed as a Great Old One of some kind.

@@dragonshadestudios honestly knowing where you would improve things is a good sign. Keep it up, can’t wait to see what comes next :)
I stumbled on these small channels, occasionally but I really like the drawings.
Thank you. I enjoy working with the artists and seeing what their minds come up with.
Greetings from Germany. That was fun. Looking forward for other Cthulhu Storys on your channel. Keep on the good work.
Very appreciated!
