Ravenloft
- Awakenings (1993) (2 rounds) - Is this the module The Awakening?
- A Curse of Blood(1995) by Robert Wiese
Domain: Dementlieu (village of Cerlimieu on banks of the Musarde River)
Summary: Doppelgangers are trying to infiltrate the village, they are using a ghost of the Wicked Man of the Woods to get rid of rivals and place blame. When a troop of vistani come to town, the doppelganger leader fears their gift of sight would compromise his plans to taking over all of Dementlieu. Four adventurers on the trail of the ghost come upon the vistani camp and get embroiled in a murder. When one vistani leader was replaced by a doppelganger to kill the other, a curse came upon all implicated until the killer is dealt with to break the curse.
Note: Two of the playable PCs are true vistani, so it was interesting how the race was handled. The adventure also does not follow the Ravenloft timeline, since the ghost was created from Vlad Drakov’s dealings a hundred years ago in Ravenloft. - Cry Little Sister by Brandon G. Amancio
- Dance of the Dead (1991) (2 rounds) by Jim Lowder and Bruce Nesmith
Domain: Ghastria
Summary: First round the PCs had sworn a oath before they got killed by the Marquis while he was holding a party so he can use the painting. 2nd round happens two days later, Stezen's men dumped the PCs bodies as well of those of the other quests at the crossroads. PCs come back as revenants bent on revenge. Since the marquis is tough to destroy outright, they must take their revenge by stealing the painting, the only thing that can provide Stezen joy. The players have to react quickly, and their overall nature and new powers only discovered through experimentation. Round ends with the burning of the marquis's mansion and the PCs giving the painting to a vistani, fulfilling their revenge and going to their eternal reward.
Note: Special rules for the revenants that set them apart from normal revenants. - Death Comes Calling by Gary Labrecque

- Return of the Lucky Seven (1996) by R. Derek Pattison
Domain: Broward
Summary: The town and domain of Broward suffer under a unique curse. Long time ago, the mountain valley was ruled by a baron who was benevolent in most matters except an utter hatred for children, to a point his men had to restrain him whenever he caught sight of one.
He took many lovers even among the common people. One of these lovers was a vistani women whose exotic ways drew the baron. But when she announced she was having his child, the baron slew her. Before the last breath made it past her lips, however, she uttered a curse, "In the name of all the gods, dark and light, may you forever cursed to be the Boogey-Man, the haunter of children's dreams, reappearing every generation until seven children unite to confront their fears." The dark powers took notice, and Broward was cast adrift into the mists, and the Baron became Red Eyes, a ghostly figure that haunts the nightmares of children. Every twenty years, a group of seven children were born, who together have power to stop the Red Eyes. But Red Eyes managed to separate and slay or enslave them each generation. As this went on, Red Eyes became more powerful and realized that adults did not acknowledge his presence, and he could take their children and they would forget they existed. Thus red eyes became even more despicable and the dark powers rewarded him with more power.
One year, an elven wild mage who came to Broward, was sufficiently childlike that he could detect Red Eyes, realized what was happening and intervened saving the seven children of that generation.
Now another twenty years have past, those children had grown up and gone their separate ways and all but forgotten the incident, and the mage is about to reunite them with this generation's seven, hoping it might be enough to defeat Red Eyes. But Red Eyes was not going to be caught off guard by the mage again...and struck first.
Notes: Each of the seven have a special empowered item, Red Eyes can use his power to drain the age of the current seven in hopes to make them children again, scaring them and enslaving them. Red Eyes feeds upon children dreams and turning the child into a mindless servant. With special care he can create many different undead from children he has drained. - Sacrificial Lambs by Bruce Nesmith (First run at GENCON '95)
