Spoilers. You have been warned. I did make changes to the adventure . . . .For the past few days, I have soloed my way through TRICK OR TREAT A Fate Accelerated adventure by Michael Goldrich (28 pages, at DriveThruRPG). Fate Accelerated Edition • A Fate Core Build is free/pay what you want at the same place (50 pages). For the solo engine, I changed four lines in Candython. I did use the six PC characters that are provided in the Fate adventure.

The adventure started when the PCs (5th graders) were approached at school by Tino. He explained that bad things were happening somewhere else and needed heroes. All they needed to do was trick or treat at his house, get one purple candy for each kid with one extra for Max. They will need to bring back Max from this “other” place. The kids follow the instructions and eat the purple candy at dusk. They now appear in the land of Candython – A place in the universe with routine interplanar travel. Teams of teenagers across the multiverse participate in a closed course trick-or-treat competition at this location. They now have “powers”. For the next two scenes, the PCs have to battle Jacks (animated Jack-o’-Lantern monsters). The PCs win the battles, but Fate Points are being used.

In the next scene, the PCs are saved from the bullies by the Pie Maker in her backyard. The PCs win against the Big Jacks in scene six. In scene seven, the PCs find themselves in an abandoned house. Inside, they find a variety of things which include pumpkins, knives, a clown Halloween costume, a spell book, a lost kid, and a whetstone. It is here that the PCs battle Pumpkin Dolls. The PCs win, but Gracy goes down and disappears (she goes back to the real world). Scene eight finds the PCs in the attic which has taken water damage. Leah’s foot goes through the rotten floor and the Boss Jack attacks. Nathan goes down (back home). At this point, Leah says, “I don’t want to fight anymore. I just want to trick or treat.” Boss Jack freezes in place and blinks. The other three kids say the same thing. Boss Jack says, “Me too” and turns into Max the kid. The PCs give him his purple candy and the clown costume. He eats the candy, puts on the costume, and they then go trick or treating. They are able to get to six homes and then the Candython event is over. The five of them then find themselves back in their friendly neighborhood and they meet up with Gracy and Nathan. They eat their candy and talk about their adventure.

Give this fun adventure a try!
