Description

Product details:

Published by TSR 9352 RQ1 in 1992
Softback stapled booklet and Card cover ISBN 1560763507 by Bill Slavicsek
An ideal starting point for a campaign of epic proportions in a spooky setting, for a spooky time perhaps? Or just a casual perusal of the sights, perhaps a new party and want to have a quick one-shot of something a little macabre? Have a peep at this module and transport everyone to the demi-plane of death!

This is the first in a six part adventure to fulfil or dispel the so-called ‘Hyskosa prophecy’ spoken about in “Touch of Death” – spanning these modules, ordered in this way due to the level criterion, and to allow the meta narrative to flow better:
RQ1: Night of the Walking Dead, levels 1-3
RA3: Touch of Death, Levels 3-5
RA1: Feast of Goblyns, Levels 4-7
RA2: Ship of Horror, Levels 8-10
RQ3: From the Shadows, Levels 9-12
RM1: Roots of Evil, Levels 9-12

Perhaps another reason to play!

This Copy:

Good –
1992, Cover is reasonable, edging of the left/spine side and cornering is a little worn. Internally both sides of the cover are discoloured around the edging, mirroring the graphics on the module. Module condition is very Good, it has little wear apart from staple rusting. No pen/pencil markings found.

From the volume: 

In a rain-soaked graveyard, a small group of men stands round a coffin bound with heavy chains. “We are here to mourn the passing of Jean de Cardeau,” intones the village priest. “Let us pray that his rest is eternal, and that he never returns.”

As the pallbearers lift the coffin, something scrapes on the wood from inside. Quickly and without emotion, the attendants slide the casket into a crypt. Then they seal the door and flee. Behind them, unheard, a dull thudding begins, growing louder with the onset of twilight. There can be no peace for those who linger in the earthly realm after death. And there can be no sanctuart on the Night of the Walking Dead!

Set in a zombie-infested swampland, Night of the Walking Dead is an ideal first-time Ravenloft adventure. Players must unravel the mystery behind a string of murders and disappearances in a village plagued by ambulant undead – and all is not as simple as it seems!

The hour of fear is upon us. Are you ready to face the demiplane of dread?
