@GayDeceiver Hauntiques, as it were

@GayDeceiver what a fascinating history this object has. Just for insurance purposes... please check your policy covers the full family for mental health problems and check there's no exemptions for familial homicide in case the pattern holds for a fourth time.

@GayDeceiver Bonus prize for anyone who can remember playing that dungeon module when it came out back in the 1970s or early 80s.

@GayDeceiver Rick'n'Morty did that one.

@GayDeceiver There was a mission in Orpheus (White Wolf RPG, early 2000s) for that. Extremely cool stuff. I really enjoyed playing the campaign a second time after about 20 years with the same storyteller.
