DnD 5E / Death House / Lawrenceville RPG Day 7

There's a monster in the house. It wants you deeper inside.

Death House is a gothic horror D&D 5e one-shot set in the cursed village of Barovia — an intro adventure from Curse of Strahd that works as a complete, standalone session.

You've been drawn into a semi-sentient mansion with a dark history: a family corrupted by forbidden ritual, two neglected children whose spirits never left, and a cult whose work was never finished. The house knows why you're here. It's been waiting.

As you explore, the story of this place will reveal itself — not in lore dumps, but through what you find in the rooms, the walls, and the things that move when you're not looking.

The session ends with a genuine moral choice. There's no clean way out.

This one is horror in the full sense. Expect dread, dark themes, and decisions with real weight.

No experience with D&D or gothic horror is needed. Pre-generated characters provided.
