I played Hoard with first time ttrpg player, and it was my first time DMing, everyone had a blast :)
I was a bit scared of not finding awful secrets or treasures but the players fed the game and filled it without knowing it, it was a great adventure to run!
I forgot House of leaves was mentionned as an inspiration for it, and went back to reading it just after lol.
Thanks a lot for the fun!
