PUMPKIN MAN FOR OSR

A Seasonal Holiday Beastie
Compatible with Most OSR Retro-Clone Systems

Each Samhain an ancient fae noble stalks the mortal realms.
Seeking to slake his blood thirst he drags mortals off to Faerie.
Can you vanquish the Fall-lord known as The Pumpkin Man?

Greetings adventurers and Game Masters!

I am pleased to release a game supplement detailing the creepy creature known as The Pumpkin Man, a malevolent fae spirit for use at Halloween, Samhain, or any time you need a good Autumn-themed nemesis for your players. This supplement lays out the Old School Renaissance (“OSR”) statistics which I designed to bring The Pumpkin Man to life in my OSRIC campaign world of Terrans.

The Pumpkin Man I present here is a creature of my own creation. It takes the form of a Large-sized (9’ tall) fae creature from the magical Land of Faerie, composed of vines, leaves, stalks and pumpkins. While he is normally found travelling the byways of Faerie, he may be encountered on the prime material plane when the veil between the worlds has thinned, such as on Samhain, when he crosses over looking to feed on mortals and drag them off to Faerie!

This supplement contains a full monster listing for my creation, including information on its vorpal scythe, which should be compatible with most OSR retro-clones. My original OSR version of The Pumpkin Man first appeared in the pages of my 2017 holiday one-shot adventure Wycked Summons and he was the main feature of my 2019 holiday one-shot "The Pumpkin Man" While I felt my past two adventure featuring The Pumpkin Man had a lot of offer, I also recognized many GMs running OSR games might enjoy having a ready-made OSR version of the beastie to drop into their own campaigns at the holidays, especially the many of you who do not like to run pre-made scenarios. So I decided to release this new, updated version of The Pumpkin Man for your personal use and enjoyment! He is easily modified to challenge players of any level by merely adjusting his hit dice and hit points.

I hope this supplement helps you liven-up your Halloween/Samhain gaming sessions!!

PLUS you also get a free copy of my latest Starry Knight Press Catalog, which has information on all of my modules and supplements, as well as maps of the known portions of my campaign world of Terrans, and bonus content (new monsters and magic items for OSR/5E) from my published books!

Thank you for your custom and your support of Starry Knight Press!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
