This adventure, and the advice that accompanies it, are perfect for a Halloween one-shot! I found that the tips for building up suspense and allowing it to dispate with humor before bringing it back up again were really great advice. The story itself has an interesting backstory which is easily revealed to the would-be heroes, spicening up this horror-themed one-shot. I really love the use of a Doppleganger to lull the party into a false sense of security and trust, only for it to be shattered when that extra person is needed the most. As for my own group (as as per the suggestion of the author), I plan on getting one of my players to play the traitorous backstabbing Doppleganger to help me thoroughly scare the party at the climactic final showdown with the disguised Oni. There are numerous components to this adventure that are really well planned out. So get it and find out for yourself!
