Pumpkins, Puppets, and Pandemonium!

The quiet village of Shaniko comes alive each Hallow’s Eve with lights, laughter, and the promise of wonder. This year, the traveling showman Arkos Vindle arrives with his dazzling Circus of Souls, boasting clockwork performers, midway games, and a calliope plays an enchanting tune. But when the music turns strange and the animatronics move under their own grim will, joy quickly turns to terror!

The circus’s mysterious Soul Engine (a fantastically twisted calliope!) uses the souls of Hallow’s Eve to power a skeletal ringmaster, pumpkin scarecrow, black cat, and a skeletal marionette performer. As the night deepens, the festival grounds twist into a stage of horror. Can your adventurers disable the power before the whole town becomes part of the show?

This oldschool inspired oneshot adventure brings Wylderlands-style danger and whimsy to your table. It’s perfect for a spooky holiday session or a standalone night of chaos.

Step right up—the show must go on, and the price of admission is your soul.
