One Night at the Shelterwood Inn
A downloadable TTRPG Adventure
Physical Copies available at Space Penguin Ink
The New Redux For Liminal Horror Can Be Found Here.
Interrupting a lonely stretch of highway, nestled between towering pines, lies the Shelterwood Inn. To the weary traveler, its blazing neon sign promises a restful stay … but a deep darkness hangs beneath the glow. On this rainy night the fate of two parties will intertwine, and both will face that darkness: one to survive, the other to control.
One Night at the Shelterwood Inn is an official collaborative adventure from the creative teams behind Liminal Horror and Triangle Agency, playable in both game systems. With Liminal Horror, take the role of unfortunate souls stranded in a lonely hotel with something sinister hiding beneath the surface. With Triangle Agency, take the role of Field Agents straddling the line between containing a paranormal phenomenon and maintaining a cover.
It also includes pre-gens for LIMINAL HORROR using the NPCs from the Triangle Agency portion of the adventure. There is even an updated framing to help Facilitators set up the scenario.

Really great little One-Shot. Ran it with my group recently as a Liminal Horror one shot and we all enjoyed it. Really liked the way it had two stories running through it as a GM. It gave me a nice mix of spooky atmospherics, really nice cinematic enemies for combat to play with and the mystery of the Agents and the Anomaly kept my players guessing. When I explained everything in the post-play, they found it interesting that there was the whole sub-story of the Agents. They liked finding out that the agents were lying and tricking them to essentially keep them safe and out of the whole thing since the players had believed they were a cult or something.
The adventure looks fun, but I have a question. The Pre-Gens relationship hooks all refer to "Agents" - is this a relationship with Triangle Agents or to the other Unwitting Investigators?
While the pregens are based on the Undercover Agents and Unwitting Investigators, the information presented in the base zine is for the GM. So when you’re playing Triangle Agency, your players will have to contend with those Unwitting Investigators, some of which may be connected to their player characters in some manner (regardless of whether or not they’re using a pregen). So the relationship hooks listed for those characters assumes you’re using them as NPCs while playing TA.
