Hotel Dracula is a one-shot adventure for Liminal Horror. It is intended for a session of approximately 4 hours.
Players are guests at Hotel Dracula, a kitschy hotel built on the ruins of Dracula's ancient castle. Trapped in the hotel at night by a blizzard, they will soon find out that Dracula is rising again and looking to turn everyone in the hotel into his vampiric servants. They must race against time to figure out what's going on and how to stop the vampires before it is all too late.
Features:
- A real-world timer for attacks on NPCs and escalating horrific events.
- Procedural support with a hazard-die based Hotelcrawl system for generating a chaotic atmosphere as vampires stalk the hotel and other factions investigate the situation.
- Custom archetypes tying players into the game with character motivations and unique items.
- A four-story, 38-room hotel with player-facing maps included to hide secret areas.
- Original vampire stats and powers based on Van Helsing's list of known vampire facts from Dracula Chapter 18.
- Four factions with 15 NPCs to help, hinder, and harm the players in their investigations.
- New vampiric fallouts integrating with the Liminal Horror stress and fallout system.

hi there, just wondering if any community copies would be released into the wild before Christmas
It’s a tough month for me without family and I’m after some good games to help cope with the holiday period. Kind regards
Thank you for the reminder. I’d fallen behind on adding them for purchases. I just added 4 more. Let me know if they’re gone before you can grab one though and I can help you out.
thank you so much. I’m so excited to play this one as I’m a drac fan from the old Christopher Lee, Peter Chusion days of hammer horror
You absolutely made my day
No problem! I hope you enjoy it. I’d love to hear how it goes if you do run it.
will put up a reply after the first game
Yoooo, I loved reading this. Seems like it would make for a great one-shot. Keep up the great work!
Big fan of this one! Provides everything you need to create tense tinderbox of a situation.
