Crooked Moon - Welcome to Wickermoor (DnD Level 3 Mini-Campaign)
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
”There was a crooked man who lived in a crooked house. He had two crooked children, and he had a crooked spouse. He bought a crooked axe which brought a crooked smile, And the bodies are all stacked up in a crooked bloody pile.” - Wickermoor Nursery Rhyme - Stranded in the mysterious valley of Wickermoor Hollow, you must contend with the restless dead, wicked hags, ravenous monsters, secret cults, and other creatures lurking in the night that never ends. While victory is possible, the cost will be tremendous. And yet, while there is only a ghost of a chance that salvation can be achieved, it is a hope all the same. Only you can determine the fate of all who dwell beneath the Crooked Moon. In this 4-session campaign players are introduced to the village of Wickermoor Hollow and brave the Crooked House to rescue Phillip and Adela Druskenvald, nobles of the afterlife who might have the knowledge and power to help you escape this cursed place. A dreadful folktale in the gothic/victorian setting of The Crooked Moon from Avantris Entertainment. Designed for level 3 characters using 2014 or 2024 DnD rules.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Rob was my first DM, I have never played a TTRPG before (in person or online), and it was immediately apparent that Rob is an excellent DM, despite my lack of experience. The methods of setting up and playing online was logical and straight forward enough that someone like my self with 0 experience was able to play. Any questions I did have where clearly answered, both in setup and in game. I have no complaints, it simply was a great and enjoyable experience.

You ever drive down the road and you're listening to an audibook.. and the words that come out the speakers just makes you tense up.. and you're not driving anymore. You're in the room. You can hear your own breath, and instinctively try to hold it. Because the evil that's being described isn't just words, it's palpable type of sensation that travels down your back that makes you gulp as you try to not to make a sound.. And that was just with a one shot. This DM has talent. Consider me hooked.
