PDM here. Thank you for the positive review. Here are some stats for the module: The Creature: AC: 15 HP: 30. Attacks: 2. Damage: d6+5. +5 to all attacks and saves. Cannot be charmed or put to sleep.. All attacks only inflict 1hp of damage. Critical hits and firearms do 2hp. Lightning and electrical attacks cure d6hp. Player Characters: Henry Clerval, 6th level poet, AC: 15, HP: 12. Ernst Frankenstein (Victor's younger brother), F3, AC: 13, HP: 18. Dirty Harold, bodyguard. F4, AC: 14, HP; 20hp. I also use Justine Moritz as a PC, but I like your idea of her being the bride better. :)

I would like to recommend to you a horror themed dungeon crawl for Old School Essentials titled "It Came from the Scriptorium". Its a love letter to the Evil Dead and Phantasm film series taking place in a monastery in which a ritual to contact the after life goes very wrong, and can be run in a single session!

I just picked up this adventure a few days ago, I was thinking about running it tomorrow for a group of beginners at the library but noticed that there aren't descriptions on the type of PCs that would fit in that setting. I'd also need to gather up some quick stats for thugs, grave robbers and any NPC that might fit in scenes. I liked your suggestion for PCs and I see that PDM commented some stats. That will definitely help. I was thinking about using Basic Fantasy as the rules or the Deathbringer mechanics, the simpler the better. I'll have to look for a system that has Victorian style PCs and NPCS that I can borrow. I also have an idea for the bride if one of my players or PCs is female and dies. That PC will become the bride. I was thinking about WHY the party would be in the area, The party can start IN the coach ride to the town, (It provides an opportunity to roleplay before meeting Elizabeth and backstories can be fleshed out) and one of the PCs can be someone that Elizabeth wrote and asked to come and look for Victor. A Prop letter from Elizabeth would be fun to make. That PC can easily be Henry Clerval, and he can be the leader of the group. I think i'll run it in October closer to Halloween, I'll have more of a chance to prep and make any props or print outs I can use. Great video and glad I found it!

I love literary adaptations in RPGs, and PDM is a gift to the hobby. I own this scenario from Quest Givers, and I would encourage anyone whose interest has been piqued by this video to pick it up.

Great to see a new video from you! Awesome review! I'll be interested to hear what percentage of the players you ran this adventure for had read the novel. My guess would be somewhere around 75%. Am I close?

I would have to add some ‘Young Frankenstein’ references. 😂 Love your videos! 👍🏼

I really want to adapt this module for Vampire: the masquerade and do a super campy Dracula vs. Frankenstein universal monster movie homage

I do like pdm's videos, but his writing more sizzle than steak for me. The mechanics need to at least be talked about in context of the world, otherwise it comes off as a writing prompt for the gm. The mechanics should be more than an after thought even with rules light systems. That having been said, glad you like it, and a dm that likes to restat all monsters in an adventure would probably like this as it gets them to the prep they find fun.
