Night of the Gallowgrim
A downloadable game
The gallows grim for Mister Grim -
His dreadful bloody eye!
The gallows grim for Gallowgrim -
He’ll catch you, then you’ll die!
A strange old woman, a mysterious festival, cultists, an old graveyard, a scrawled message, and a grim tale...
This, new 2nd edition significantly expands on the 1st edition. I've rewritten sections of the adventure to ensure smoother narrative flow. This edition also contains extras, including:
- New NPCs to interact with, who have their own motivations,
- New adventure locations,
- More weird magic items and suggestions,
- More cultural background,
- Cult background,
- New illustrations,
- And a bonus faerie adventure if you want to throw it at your players!
Night of the Gallowgrim is a creepy folk-horror fantasy adventure, intended for use with a fantasy role-playing game of your choice.
This adventure allows you, as GM/Referee, plenty of freedom. There are no encounter stats, apart from colourful suggestions. This means you can scale the difficulty to suit any motley bunch of adventurers.
Apart from encounters, feel free to add anything you want. Everything is just a guide. In the spirit of old-school gaming, you get to use all of this as a jumping off point for your imagination.

This little adventure seems perfect for a horror themed one shot. Will run it using Trophy Gold and also incorporate it into our open table Shadowdark osr game.
Thank you for your kindness and support! Oh…now I need to go find out about Trophy Gold. Your enthusiasm is inspiring me to get back to my gaming group and start running something.
