About the adventure
The Ghostlight Express was meant to be your final journey, but the rails have delivered you to a place not found on any map: the fog-shrouded, gaslit valley of Wickermoor Hollow. Here, under a perpetually crooked moon, the land itself is a living, breathing antagonist, and the isolated folk cling to ancient traditions and skewed moralities that curdle the blood. They whisper of the Old Ways, of sacrifices made to appease the hungry soil, and of a Horned King who stalks the Wytchwood. This is a folk horror epic for levels 1 to 20, a single, seamless story of tragic heroism. You are not merely heroes destined for glory; you are outsiders caught in a dreadful folktale where every victory only tightens the noose. Uncover fragments of a unified prophecy that reveals a horrifying truth. This campaign offers a deeply personal, character-driven experience where your choices have lasting and often terrifying consequences. Will you break the cycle, or will you become the final, unwitting sacrifice in a ritual to save a land that is already damned? Weave your own story of dread, sacrifice, and horror in a world where the only thing more terrifying than the monsters in the woods are the secrets kept by the folk within their homes.

About me
Hold on, let me roll Persuasion first... now that that's done, hello! I am a former IT professional who now channels energy into sharing stories and fostering creativity and inclusivity in gaming. Over the years, I have guided hundreds of players through a variety of games, whether at my personal tables, as a Twitch streamer, or collaborating with TTRPG publishers like Onyx Path Publishing, Free League, Chaosium, Helmgast, and more. I've had the pleasure of introducing new players to exciting games at conventions and have both GM’d and participated in streams and podcasts in both North and South America. As a published writer of TTRPG content, I have also contributed to the development of mechanics for my own RPGs and various indie projects as well as writing professionally. I invite you to explore my reviews to see what others think, and I encourage you to try one of my games to experience the magic firsthand. I am committed to ensuring you have a fantastic experience!

Creating your character
We will discuss characters at session 0. There is no charge for this introductory session. I will have some homebrew/DTRPG content at session 0 and all character options from the Crooked Moon setting, which is available on D&D Beyond, is available for play. Please bring 2 or 3 characters for you to choose from so there is a good party balance, or wait and create characters at session 0.

How Tyler creates a safe table
I have a Google form I will send you once you sign up that will very thoroughly go through lines and veils. I also use digital and/or messaged and/or held up on video X, N, & 0 cards. I am also available after each session for aftercare, as needed. At session 0 we will go over lines and veils that were filled out ahead of time (anonymously) so player expectations can be set.
