Questward Bound Presents: Fright & Shivers!

Step into the shadows for Fright & Shivers, a night of horror-themed tabletop roleplaying games hosted by Questward Bound at The Bar at Black Band in Peoria.

On Sunday, October 5th, the doors open at 4:00 PM, and the dice hit the table at 5:00 PM sharp. Choose your nightmare:

• Dungeons & Dragons (2 tables) — classic fantasy with a chilling twist.
• Call of Cthulhu — unravel cosmic horrors and creeping madness.
• Mothership — survive the terrors of deep space.

Each game runs 3–4 hours, led by experienced GMs, and no prior rules knowledge is required. Just bring your courage (and maybe some dice).

Costumes are encouraged to add to the atmosphere, but not required.

The Bar at Black Band will be serving their full menu of drinks and food favorites, including burgers, wings, grilled cheese, and fries, to keep adventurers fueled through the fright.

🎲 Fright & Shivers is the perfect way to welcome the spooky season with friends, dice, and a little bit of fear.

Each ticket inculdes the following.

• Premade character for the game.
• Set of RPG dice.
• 1 Free Questward Bound Mini.
• A seat at your selected table.

From Farm to Feast (Level 3)

GM Zach

Maybe it’s just an abandoned farm with a fortune buried beneath the barn. It looks like a simple job, the sort of adventure told over mugs of ale. Many before you have chased after treasure maps, and this one feels no different. Is there really any danger in following it? Certainly not… what could possibly go wrong?

Great table for new adventurers!

Fury of the Forsaken (Level 6)

GM Scott

Once they were test subjects—small, fragile things twisted by cruel experiments and cast aside as failures.

But the forsaken did not die. They endured. Changed. Waiting in the dark.

Now the gnawing hunger for vengeance drives them back into the light.
Step into Fury of the Forsaken, a grim one-shot of survival, mutation, and revenge.

The Dare

GM Cody

1981 small town America In the town of Burroughs, the old Barnaker house has sat idle for generations. Desiccated, deserted, and some say even… dormant. Local superstitions weave an intricate tapestry of disappearances and strange events “too far back to even remember”. At least that’s what your parents say when they warn you to stay away. But when the local bully steals some of your personal stuff on Halloween and holds it ransom, do you follow through with his dare to survive a night in the Barnaker house, or go down as “chickens” for the rest of your lives?

DISCLAIMER: Dark Themes

Mothership

GM Austin of Fractured Releams

Heavily-inspired by media like Alien, Event Horizon, The Thing, Dead Space, and more, Mothership is a rules-light, deadly, sci-fi horror roleplaying game. You and your crew must try to survive in the most inhospitable environment in the universe: outer space. Players will participate in a one-shot adventure in this retro-future sci-fi setting while trying to survive and keep their characters from losing their grip on reality.
