About this product

Every night, the orphanage screams.

Every child, all at once. The old Nightmare of the Doyle home have come back, turning the dreams of children in to fuel so it can enter the mortal realm and kill again.

Unless you can stop it first. Follow the clues, collect the dream talismans, and enter the Dreaming to stop the Nightmare before it becomes real.

  1. A Tier 2 Daggerheart hunt, complete with liminal clues as well as a cast of NPCs and research locations. It should be completed in 2-4 hours or more if you enjoy exploring Harrenford.
  2. 2 new adversaries
  3. 2 new encounters
  4. Handouts for the adventure.
  5. An encounter map, with a child-like variant.
