About the adventure
The wind stirs the barren branches, and the night air carries a scent of damp earth, woodsmoke, and something else — something older, something wrong. For generations, folk in these parts have spoken of The Crooked Moon, an ill-omened crescent that sometimes hangs in the sky, its gnarled face twisted in a leer. When it rises, the old roads grow treacherous, beasts stir in the forests, and the boundary between the living and the dead frays like an old rope. The village of Wickermoor, little more than a scattering of cottages and sagging fences, lies huddled in the shadow of Wickermoor Hollow. It’s a place people leave, not one they travel to. But you — by misfortune, obligation, or desperate need — have come. The harvest failed. Children have vanished into the trees, and Druskenvald is in danger. The villagers of the Hollow speak in hushed tones of The Horned One, of witch-lights on the moor, and of an ancient debt soon to be called. Tonight, beneath the cold gaze of the Crooked Moon, you will uncover what ancient pact festers in the roots of this land — and whether you can outlast the night. SESSION 0 IS FREE! We will be streaming this LIVE on Twitch!

About me
Hey ladies and gents! If you’re reading this, then you’re probably considering me as your next Dungeon Master. I really appreciate your consideration and will give my all to give you the best experience possible! So, without further delay, I'm Todd or Wereraven! I’ve been playing D&D 5e for 5 years now, and have been the DM for 4 years of that. I’ve DMed all experiences from newcomers to older veterans alike. I encourage role play above all else, but don't force people out of their comfort zones. I love to tie backgrounds and PC interests into the main storyline an add my own homebrew flair where appropriate! I am not a rule encyclopedia and I love rolling with the "Rule of Cool" where it fits and enhances the plot and setting without breaking the game and mechanics. I am always striving to learn more and bring better and better sessions as the campaign progresses!
