An idea for if you are putting alot of info on a hostile npc, consider giving them a diary. That way the players kill this thing, and then loot the corpse. In the loot is a diary which can convey the information that they would have lost out on by killing the npc.

I'm starting to wish Ginny would do a crossover episode with Ben Byrne from Ghostfire Gaming, where the two share ideas for a horror-themed adventure and write it together

I actually ran his adventure as my first one shot ever and absolutely loved it. My players has an absolute blast and Lanthar ended up befriending my friend's hp lovecraft inspired warlock who shared his love of flesh and blood magic.
Thank you so much for designing this.

Another way to keep monsters fresh is to take every monster you introduce in the setting and make a few mechanical changes without telling the players what you changed. They should know that you’re making these changes, but not the details. If a monster has different weaknesses or abilities than normal, that can force players to adapt on the fly without needing to make new monsters or reskin ones. Like if ghosts aren’t affected by magic weapons and instead can only be defeated by performing a specific difficult ritual or by appeasing it. This also adds opportunities to do what I just did in that example and pull from actual folklore that WotC didn’t use, and some kinds of monsters like the ghost example can even have unique traits on an individual basis. A ghost that sticks around because their murderer was never brought to justice and a ghost that lingers because no one mourned their passing would be appeased in completely different ways and could even have different forms of haunting. There’s also little things like giving a dragon an existing injury that hinders them in a unique way

These are the best Ginny videos!! I know they're a lot harder to make but I really love these and hope they perform for you. ✌️

Hi Ginny. This video sent me down a rabbit trail eventually leading to me picking up the Tome of Beasts II. You are always suggesting such awesome resources for DnD. Thanks. As a side note, I also watched your "Where she sleeps" parody today and really enjoyed it. Im sure you hear this enough but you're extremely talented and diversely so.

I have a bakery in my game that's like a cat cafe for tiny drakes called Cinderpuffs, so that bakery dragon really caught my attention XD

This is great not just for writing a horror one-shot but writing any type of one-shot or encounter arc in a campaign. Thank you Ginny for your work!

I loved getting a little insight into how you do your writing. Thanks Ginny!

I would've expected this for Halloween.... but Gothic horror is for all year long!

These videos are so great!!! Getting to see how adventures are supposed to be designed and the process behind them is so interesting to see and you always have such an interesting perspective

I've been using the Monster Manual Expanded books from Dmsguild almost exclusively for all my encounters. While I like the variety from RAW, will definitely look to pick these tomes up. Monsters look super diverse. My players won't know what hit them 😈

"Not everyone has an NPC they love" with a slight tear-up in the voice. Oh, the solitude of being friend zoned by even NPC's 😉
I love you videos and all the gems, big and small, strewn all over. Such great inspiration for us homebrewers! ❤
Greetings from the damp pancake called Denmark!

This is so cool! I really like the bones of this quest; sound perfect for a party taking a romp in one of the Domains of Dread, such as Lamordia or Falkovnia. If I ever am so lucky as to be in such a position, I'll be sure to use this!
Also, that skeleton top/sweater is super cute.

I love that you did a walk though of how to build an en-counter. as the group I dm for have a player that have already told me before that she cannot deal with undead or body horror I won't be using the adventure you wrote, but the video was still super helpful. 💚

This has helped me with planning a Christmas one-shot myself! Thanks Ginny!

The Tome of Beasts 3 sounds really good.
I am just getting into D&D (yet to play a session tbh) but I really feel I will end up becoming a DM and this is a great little one shot that sounds awesome.

definitely loving this!! just grabbed it <3

OK, you had me at "And this is a Bakery Drake! It's a little dragon! Who likes to bake!" in a video about a D&D horror one-shot. I don't even care if there is a Bakery Drake involved in the actual one shot. Just the reading of the line was sufficient.
