About the adventure

🚂 It does, as these things do, start on a train. The Ghostlight Express travels from the lands of the living to the lands of the dead. Perhaps you've just died, and this is your first time in the beyond. Perhaps you've lived in Druskenvald and have been reborn. Either way, this isn't the afterlife you might have expected. Welcome to Wickermoor Hollow, an estranged land that bows to the Old Ways, dark ways. You'll explore much of it in your adventure... The world of Druskenvald is a dark afterlife, a setting filled with restless undead, monsters that hunt the primeval forest, and ancient beings that wrestle for power in the suffocating mists beyond. ❗13 new species! ❗15 new subclasses! ❗12 new Feats! ❗New spells! ❗New backgrounds! All created for 2024 D&D! Movie wise, it most resembles The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Van Helsing, Nosferatu and Jonah Hex. TV series Penny Dreadful set the right tone as well. Books you might reference include Frankenstein, Grimm's Fairy Tales, and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Brought to us by the wonderful minds of Avantris Entertainment, you can tell right away the love and care they put into every page of this adventure. It is a delight to run, and I can't wait to see you there.

About me

Hey! Thank you for reading up about me! It is pronounced 'Weird.' *The word "wyrd" comes from the Old English verb meaning "to become," reflecting its role as a shapeshifting, active force. It is not as rigid as the Greek concept of fate; Wyrd is influenced by actions and choices, meaning individuals can impact their own destiny. * This is how I run my games, shifting things around as you make your choices, becoming causality and give you the reactions to your decisions. Now that I've run over 800 games for a variety of amazing players, let me just say that I love this job. It has become more of a community of awesome people, and I am all about it. To new people looking for a place to land, you can have as much, or as little, social contact as you want. No one will judge. I've played D&D since I was a little geek in a small town in upstate NY. I now live in a medium sized city in Colorado, and I'm a much larger geek. If there is a roleplaying game out there, I've probably tried it. I keep coming back to D&D, though. D&D is home, the rest were places I visited. Nice to meet you! What I provide my players: 🦸 Hero Worship! I am a big fan of your character, perhaps the biggest! I'm not an adversarial DM. In fact, if you demolish an encounter through planning, strategy or just plain luck I will celebrate with you. My goal is for everyone to have fun, and as long as everyone is having a good time I consider that my DM win. 🌄Interesting people, places and things. Even in pre-fab adventures I adjust the maps, rearrange the encounters and create interactions with NPCs that will make them easier to remember. ☔A Safe Place to Play. I understand and adapt to all sorts of 🏳️‍⚧️genders/🏳️‍🌈lifestyles/🎖️experiences/🎨neurodivergencies. They/Was? Perfect. Need some time for your second DID personality to get involved? I got you. Old time military gonk with opinions? Sure thing. Keep my games a safe place for others and all are welcome. Heck, I'm also fluent in typo! 🆕 A landing place for new players. I will take all the time you need to help you learn and find your pace with us. I have never met a player who wasn't super amazing with newer players as well. Be comfortable playing with us. 🗨️ A discord server for your game where you can journal, chat and be social with the other players. 📖 Consistent rules (optional and otherwise) that have been put into place after long discussions with players and other DMs. You will always know where you stand with me. I do NOT mind 🎣, however. If you want to try something new, toss that cheeto on a hook and see if I bite. ⬆️ I update my game accounts often, and you'll have access to my books on my Beyond and all the rules in roll20. I attempt to maintain a large library as well, putting some of the money I make into purchasing new books every month.

Character creation

Creating your character

Create your characters ahead of time, all the books will be available to you! 2024 rules (if there's a 2024 version, we'll use that, otherwise 2014 is acceptable) We'll be going from level 1 to 14. Point buy/standard array, fixed HP. Crooked Moon has a lot of very cool species and subclasses to enjoy!

The current party

🌜The game plays like a cross between Curse of Strahd and Wild Beyond the Witchlight!🌛 Lots of RP opportunities with imaginative NPCs. Some of the best boss battles in the business. Levels 1-14, but the campaign is prepared for you to go beyond that! Only on chapter 4, plenty of game left to play! Current line up - Level 5! Curseborn Monk Threadborn Bard Tiefling Illrigger

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You should have a discord account, and will be joining a game server. We'll be playing on Foundry for all the bells and whistles.

What Wyrd brings to the table

I use Foundry for the best experience. There will be a sound track, voices, and as much ambience as I can muster! We're going for dark, but that doesn't mean there isn't place for humor.

Homebrew rules

My only 'homebrew' rule is that critical misses only happen when rolling at disadvantage, but that counts for all rolls, not just combat.

Safety

How Wyrd creates a safe table

Rather than fill up the screen with Content Warnings, I will instead be going over Lines and Veils during session 0. I run a safe space, even when in such a dark world.
