AD&D - The Thorn Curse in your campaign..

The Evil Dungeon Master Universe

On today's podcast, I decided to explore the Thorn Curse from the Halloween movies and how it could be used in your campaign.

In the isolated village of Thornbrook, strange deaths and ominous signs lead players to investigate a dark curse tied to the Thorn Mark, which forces one family member to sacrifice kin for the village’s survival. As the players uncover the curse’s history and face moral dilemmas involving Eldric Thorn and his descendants, they must ultimately decide whether to end the curse or pass it on, facing the consequences of their choice.
