About the adventure
Board the Ghostlight Express, a spectral train that spirals into Wickermoor Hollow; a land where night never ends and the restless dead roam freely. Here you’ll cross paths with Lord Phillip Druskenvald and his clairvoyant wife Adela, nobles fated to die unless you can thwart the crooked designs of an ancient fey goddess clawing her way back from imprisonment. Her agents are everywhere: verminous hags in swamps, a secret cult in the villages, the malevolent Crooked Man, and six once-heroic Fallen whose corruption now serves as the key to unleashing The Horned King, a great evil yearning for flesh and apocalypse. Every choice made cuts another thread in the valley’s fragile fate. Souls will be lost, victories will cost dearly, and hope may flicker like candlelight in the fog. If you crave Gothic dread, tangled loyalties, and the slimmest shot at saving a cursed realm, punch your ticket. Now is the time to brave the dark wood, beware the witching hour, and weave your own dreadful folktale underneath the Crooked Moon. The Ghostlight departs soon...will you ride?

About me
Hey everyone, you can call me Nioret. I started DMing during lockdown and fell in love with it. The collaborative storytelling process of DnD is what I'm here for, and being able to provide a fun experience for everyone at my table is what drives my passion.

Creating your character
Characters will begin at level 1. Character creation will begin collaboratively in Session Zero and you have the entire week thereafter to finalize. Group discussion in the meantime is welcomed, and I will reach out to each person individually to help create and curate the character they envision.

Both 2024 and 2014 character options are allowed. Campaign runs from level 1 to level 12. Feel free to message me on here if you have any questions!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Upon signing up for this campaign, there will be a link to join a Discord server. Further information will be located within the contents of the server. I will also reach out to you personally to ensure your onboarding goes well. Hardware wise, Players only need a working mic and a stable internet connection.
What Nioret brings to the table
I have a map for every single location in the module, as well as many off-book locations. Along with a compelling performance and voices, my personalized Foundry VTT software will take care of everything else. I will walk you through any technical learning you may need. I tend to stick to Rules as Written so players know what to expect. This is also a "No Stupid Questions" table. Ask anything you want as often as you want. This is a roleplay safe space, there is no "bad' roleplay here as long you're operating in good faith. Have fun and don't worry about your how awful your accents may be. All you need to do, is show up and have a good time. 🙂

How Nioret creates a safe table
Players can look forward to a grim setting within the adventure , traversing Wickermoor Hollow with endless encounters both roleplay/combative, and a strong narrative where their choices matter. Session Zero will cover a non-spoiler overview of additions, as well as trigger warnings, house rules, and both the expectations of the party and players. Our sessions are generally 4 hours long, with a 15 minute break halfway through.
