Welcome ghosts, pirates, zombies, monsters and mortals alike! If you're anything like us, as soon as summer gets close to an end, it's already time to start busting out your DVD copy of Beetlejuice and hanging bat bunting from your doorways. We just can't wait to post this pre-October Halloween update!
While you all are patiently awaiting our major UI overhaul, slated for later this year, we've provided this Barony Scarony Halloween mod! There's still a lot of programming work to do on the UI overhaul, and so we're giving some art time straight to the community with this mod.
You can start playing it right away by subscribing [for free, as always] on the Steam Workshop.

Next time you launch Barony, just go to the Workshop item on the Main Menu, enable Barony Scarony, and you're good to go!
Like all of our official seasonal mods, all the changes to the game are purely aesthetic, and so you won't invalidate any achievements by using the mod. You can even download the files into your local mods folder and play with other people who aren't using the mod, and there shouldn't be any conflicts at all.
Some hoods and cloaks have been modified as a matching pair, so the Rogue class now always starts with some sweet demon wings and horns. Combine that with the Incubus face-paint and you'll be looking devilishly handsome, if I do say so myself.
We've replaced a lot of models with horror classics, like slasher weapons. And to give our ghouls a more traditional zombie feel, they're in their funeral suits for this mod!
While we didn't modify some of the tilesets because they're already pretty spooky places, we wanted to bring a bit of otherworldly horror to all of the places in Barony for this overhaul.
From horror to comedy, you'll have all sorts of costume options to compete for your gear selection.
What's Halloween without candy? All the food in the game has been replaced with Halloween sweets to trick-or-treat for.
Over the month of October we'll be making some more additions to the Barony Scarony mod. Was there something iconic that we missed? Give us your ideas in the comments!
Thanks for joining us this autumn to delve dungeons and celebrate Halloween with Barony!
