Hallowstream is at hand! Tonight's petrifying presentation premieres over on Oxventure. It's an extremely tense session of Dread, the horror TTRPG played with Jenga instead of dice. And for Hallowstream 2025, it's not just any Jenga: this is giant Jenga, with hellishly oversized wooden blocks that stack up into an intimidating tower over five and a half feet in height. That's bigger than a whole Ellen!
