What are people saying?
"A whole new level of mystery solving is needed to escape the terrifying near-immortal Hat Man. I'm a sucker for adventures with overpowered enemies that require wit and teamwork to conquer. The timekeeping is clean, the area is expansive, and the adventure is deadly. Godspeed." — Marco Serrano (SpicyTuna RPG, Knights of Lazarus)
"The Curse of The Hat Man makes you feel like you are in the middle of a supernatural slasher movie. Well thought out and detailed characters, an immaculately designed resort full of secrets and mystery, and a truly terrifying supernatural villain all help make The Curse of The Hat Man come to life. Tim Obermueller does a great job crafting a tight, thrilling adventure that builds to a heart-pumping conclusion. The Hat Man Cometh, be afraid." — Scott Garriott - Molgannard Press (The Ship Who Swallowed a Spider, Corporate Survival)
“Curse of the Hat Man has a delightful, sinister energy. The monsters including BATHAWK are good clean fun, there’s a good mix of interesting NPCs with their own clear agendas, and the adventure has a natural pace to it driving toward the dangerous conclusion. The Stages and Manifestations give the Warden tools to keep the adventure dynamic and the pace up.” — Amanda P. (Tannic, Pilgrimage of the Sun Guard)
