About the adventure
Crooked Moon brings Folk Horror to 5E, drawing inspiration from eerie Folklore, legendary Horror Films, classic Halloween Aesthetics, and more. The setting evokes true terror with malevolent monsters and mechanics where you can equip yourself with numerous Player Options to brave the dark wood. Explore Druskenvald, a mysterious realm trapped between dusk and the witching hour. Investigate the isolated valley of Wickermoor Hollow, where Superstitious Locals adhere to “The Old Ways” and Long-Forgotten Horrors stalk the deepest woods. Face off against creatures of the night with unique Folkloric Monsters. Investigate local Myths and Legends, discover Secrets and Superstitions, and Perform Rituals in thrilling encounters beyond just rolling for initiative. Charge into brutal battles and gothic boss fights, each with Multiple Phases and unique mechanics for Minions, Terrain, and More that will test your party’s courage, tactics, and will to survive. The game will even feature a custom soundtrack created specifically for the setting The Blasting Company, the legendary composers of the Over the Garden Wall soundtrack! Permission for art use given by Nikkie Scarlett. -- 🌙First game will Thursday, April 3! 🌙 This is because, while I have access to the beta materials, the first official release of the Crooked Moon module and VTT tools is the end of March.

Gameplay details
🌈 Player Safety 🌈 My table is a safe space for LGBTQIA+ players. I use a Lines and Veils system for all participants to keep players on the same page of what to expect during game sessions. Specific game Lines and Veils can be expanded in Session Zero to ensure everyone is comfortable and excited to play! Additionally, my primary goal is for everyone to have FUN at the table. If anything ever makes the game unfun for you, please let me know during or after the session so we can address it. Your enjoyment is my priority. My door is always open!

How will character creation work
We will create and workshop characters during our session zero, but, prior to and after this, I'll be there every step of the way for newer folks and seasoned players alike. Characters start at first level. Use Point Buy to determine stats. All WOTC races, classes, backgrounds, feats, etc can be chosen (and rethemed if you wish). In addition, I allow many third-party classes and subclasses from MCDM, Darrington, Ghostfire, etc. Ask me before going this route so I can help you out!
