Talent Night: A Scenario for Dread

Talent Night is a scenario for Dread,  set on the evening of a school Talent Night just a few months after a mass suicide pact among some students at the school leaves teachers and classmates shaken. Players take on the role of (notably imperfect) teachers struggling to survive a supernatural nightmare of judgment and retribution in the wake of this trauma. 

Content Warning: Includes mentions of a mass suicide and potentially all kinds of corruption and abuses by teachers (as introduced by players in response to the character-generation questionnaires). It is a horror scenario. Use of safety tools and prior discussion with players strongly recommended.
