Running A Light in the Belfry

Post by Jeff LaSala »

So, as a fun Halloween even, I'm considering running a single "house-crawl" session for some friends. This would be with threadbare 3.5 rules using A Light in the Belfry as the basis for the haunted house in question. I'm wondering if anyone can cite any experience in actually running this adventure? Pros, cons, recommendations?

The thing is, I love the house and core concept of gathering the 13 mirror shards, but the actual use of the CD is a bit...much. I like the descriptions of each area, but I'd rather not rely upon playing the relevant tracks during gameplay (though I may use some of the sound effects).

Anyone have anything they can say about this adventure?[/i]

kargatane.com once hosted transcripts of the CD tracks, as well as edited mp3s of the tracks that removed the annoying bleep at the end.

Although they are gone from that site, the "wayback machine" still has a backup:

Thanks, Gonzoron! Though, the zip files appear to be corrupt and won't open for me. :(

Simply have the transcript of the CDs would be enormously helpful. Can anyone else open this?

Ah... looks like only the page is archived, not the zip files. :( sorry!

Glad to help. :) If the Fraternity thinks there wouldn't be any legal issues, I could provide the files so they could be added to the Download section.

(thread resurrection, I know)

Unfortunately, we prefer to stay away from the grey zone of legal mumbo jumbo. We can't host that kind of file (and believe me, we would host a lot of these if we could!).

Well, and about the original question? Anyone want to share his experience? I just bought aLotB (There are still some useful things packing dust around here... I live in Bogotá, Colombia, for what it's worth), and though I haven't decided yet on using it or not (I bought it just because of Morgoroth, and I just come from a haunted house crawl), I would like to know more about it from my fellow members.
