Title: October! What are you running for Halloween?
Post by: dar on October 04, 2007, 09:24:46 PM
Me? I'll spend Halloween with my family and I think my boys will get to enjoy the Tomb of Horrors.

I want to turn the Halloween/October holliday into a hallowed ceremony played with different games and adventures year after year.

Trick or Treat!

Halloween is not an Australian tradition.

Poor, poor Oz!

My wife and I have a mixed marriage - she's Christmas, and I'm Halloween.

I'll be running Blood Games II - probably the finale of my current campaign.

DC Gameday, I'll be running a martial arts game of Spycraft.

In my home game, I'll actually be playing (D&D in Rappan Athuk, to be precise), something I've not done in a home game for a long time.

So no horror... unless facing down the minions of the lord of the undead counts.

Kids came to my door saying 'trick or treat' last October and I told them to get lost.

For Halloween I'll be continuing my Vampire the Requiem game with the game taking place on actual All Hallows Eve. Should be fun, what with the Circle of the Crone partying hard and stuff. But on Halloween I'm not staying in. Party time!

Quite a bit when he eats, shoots and leaves...

Not much fun for her, though. :D

That's too bad. It's a fun time of year. I'm from back east, Ohio specifically, and the entire month of October is dominated by Halloween - stores carry all kinds of stuff, from candy to costumes, "haunted houses" spring up everywhere, people decorate their houses and yards, and even the weather itself tends to reinforce the mood, with gloomy grey skies, bonfires, crisp, biting winds, and trees shedding their leaves. Out here in California, at least southern CA, Halloween doesn't seem to generate the same level of interest.

well, the seasons aren't the same in SoCal, either.  my folks moved from here (NJ) to LA a few years ago.  mom was most unhappy by the lack of seasons in comparison to back east.  they're back east now, in RI; i expect great joy at reports of "there's an autumn here!" and the like.  

it's easier to get in the holiday mood when the temp is a bit cooler, too.  a little bite in the air seems to add to the halloween vibe IMO.  wish it was that way at the moment :mad:

I love the change of seasons, right up until around January when I remember how very much winter sucks.

And Colorado has miled winters compared to where I grew up (Watertown, NY). Years in the south and in Ca spoiled me.
