Description
**SoU and HotU v.1.69 required**
"It's that time again ... the dark time of the year when the line between the world of the living and the dead collide ... and you get to eat pumpkins and pretend to be a monster. For a short while.
You are an average hero that's decided that the best place to celebrate Halloween this year is to travel to the most remote location you can find in the middle of nowhere. In this case that place is called "The Red Dragon Inn". The caravan people that you traveled with is here celebrating as well.
But the question is ... was all this really a good choice on your part? ... no. The truth is that you're about to enter one of the worst nightmares you've ever had called ... Samhain's Eve."
FEATURES:
*Scary and gloomy atmoshpere, PERFECT for Halloween!
*A dark and unsettling story, also PERFECT for Halloween!
*Haunting horror-soundtrack that increases the mood by at least 100 %!
*Fitting Halloween haks used to enhance the experience (like pumpkins, zombies etc)!
*The beginning features some nice comic-lines!
*Features quick references to a few of the characters from the Official Campaigns and from my own Surviving Horror series!
*A Gear-Chest is available in the beginning (with Equipment and Potions) for those who don't feel like downloading the Character Creator before playing!
A short halloween adventure to celebrate Halloween 2009 for 10th Level Fighter-Oriented characters brought to you by the author of Calm before the Storm, A New Journey Begins and Surviving Horror 1 & 2.
Auto-Level-Up and Gear (Armor, Shields, Swords, Rings & Potions) is available in the beginning but if you'll need any other equipment, you'll have to fix that before entering the module.
A RAR-file containing all OPTIONAL but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED music files needed for the module "Samhain's Eve". Just extract them into your NWN/music folder.
This is the RAR-VERSION of the music pack. There is an EXE-VERSION here as well. YOU ONLY NEED TO DOWNLOAD ONE OF THEM!
A fun Halloween theme that is visually pleasing. See my Mini Review for more feedback. Thank you for sharing with us Berra! _________________________ QSW -NWVault Reviewers Forum

Version 1.1 of the module has just been uploaded and features a Gear-Chest in the beginning for those who don't feel like downloading the Character Creator before playing.
Hey, I haven't played this mod yet, but I will soon and give you my vote on it.
I'm a curious person, but I was wondering if the community will be seeing a NWN2 remake of SH 1 and 2?
I heard converting stuff(and even custom stuff) from NWN 1 to 2 wasn't particularly hard. Hope to hear from ya soon. _________________________ Life is but a Dream.

Well met.
Of course great work from a master, I would have given this just for the room firouts alone. Masters wait until their work is polished, then submit, so many good modules by up and coming modders are spoilt by releasing too soon, and getting endless posted problems.
Not here. All smooth gameplay. And did I mention great rooms. Would have given it a ten, if it was longer like three hours. Not a criticism, just a wish for more of the same.
Blessings. _________________________ Evil meet thy end, right here, right now.
QSW of the NWVault Reviewer's Guild, here. I've just noticed that you've requested a review for this module. A few months ago, we at the guild made it a new rule that we would not review a module if it is less than an hour long. Such modules, while entertaining, simply do not fit within our revamp review guidelines.
However, we are in the midst of trying to organise a special template for giving mini-reviews of modules an hour or less. This template is being worked on, and as it stands, likely will not have any scores attached to them (we are debating if the Fun category can/should/will be scored or not). We'll make a news announcement once it's all set in place, and if the format is agreeable to you, then you're more than welcome to resubmit your module for review to our Pending List.
I'm posting here because I'm not certain how well the Vault e-mail system is working right now, so I want to be sure you get this message. If you have any questions, please feel free to mail me directly at : [email protected]
Thanks for everyone's comments! Glad you liked it and I will take the things you've said in consideration. I might add some more stuff when/if I get the time.
Everyone: your VOTES are highly appriciated. A vote is like gold for an author. No kiddin'. ;)

A belated Happy Halloween to you, too! It's nice to see you're still making mods and I hope you won't be discouraged by a little constructive criticism. I like the area design in this one very much and the general atmosphere and music is cool, too.
But I think you could still improve gameplay. Since the game is focused on combat, it was hard to overlook that the combats are somewhat lacking in variety. They weren't all that exciting for a lvl 10 fighter, there was no need to bother with tactics and except for the boss battle I didn't even need magical equipment to defeat the opponents.
Plus, you didn't use dramatic battle music. So whenever a supposedly fearsome opponent appeared and attacked, while I expected tension to rise instead the music just played on, I put my fighter in auto-attack mode and watched until it was over. For a horror mod, that's a bit of a let-down. There were some eerie moments but nothing really creeped me out or shocked me.
I know you can do better. Should you decide to tweak the combats and make them a little more dramatic, I'll raise my vote, of course. :)

A very interesting atmosphere!
I was disappointed only for the very short length.

Very nice gloomy atmospheare, I liked the spirit and all the pumpinks everywhere, it is a well-done module for such a lenght, however, had you thrown in a couple of cutscenes this module would have been better, was bit too linear in my opinion. Many haks could have been avoided, such as phex zombies and horsemen to make the module more polished. Maybe more blood and gore effects would have fit in.
Wish you all the luck for your future projects, keep up the good work.
