About the adventure
🌙 Folk Horror Reimagined - Experience D&D through the lens of classic horror films and dark folklore in an endless night 🎭 Unique Character Options - Play as one of 13 Reborn species with 15 exclusive folk horror subclasses ⚔️ Living Heirlooms - Wield 26 upgrading magic items that evolve with your character's story 👻 Legendary Nightmares - Face iconic bosses like The Wicker Man, The Ghost Train, and The Horned King 🕯️ Choices Over Dice - Navigate dark bargains and moral dilemmas where decisions matter more than combat Step aboard the Ghostlight Express and journey into Druskenvald, a cursed demiplane where the sun never rises and the dead refuse to stay buried. In this folk horror campaign, you'll navigate a world steeped in dark superstition, ancient rituals, and creatures torn from the darkest folktales. The Crooked Moon hangs eternally overhead, casting its eerie glow on isolated villages where townsfolk cling to the Old Ways, and something far more sinister lurks just beyond the firelight. Instead of treasure hoards, you'll wield upgrading heirloom items that evolve with your character's story. You can play as one of 13 Reborn species, choose from 15 folk horror subclasses, and even make Dark Bargains for power at a terrible cost. The campaign emphasises social tension, superstition, and ritual; your choices matter more than your combat prowess. Face 85 unique creatures, including legendary bosses like The Wicker Man and The Ghost Train, entities ripped straight from nightmareish folklore. The endless night awaits, and it's hungry for new stories.

About me
Hey, I'm Andrew and one of my greatest passions is role-playing games and creating worlds that people can enjoy. I have been playing role-playing games for 6 years now and DMing for 3 years, most of my experience is Dungeons and Dragons 5e and Call of Cthulhu, but I am always up for learning a new system that better fits the story I want to tell or is just more enjoyable for the player. When it comes to my players the most important thing is that they are having an enjoyable and fun time and feel like their character is affecting the story and the world around them. I am always open to changing my stories to better fit the situation or based on player feedback. For the most part, we will be using Discord for voice chat and then using Foundry VTT for gameplay but if a player is not comfortable using either of these we can discuss alternative sites to use.

How Andrew creates a safe table
At the start of a session after everyone arrives we will have a short recap of the last session just to remind everyone of what happened last time. If players are uncomfortable with certain topics or do not want to cross certain lines then just message me and I will adjust the content accordingly. Breaks will be halfway through the session and will last about 10 minutes. At the end of the session, we will have a feedback section where the players will tell me what they thought about the session and talk about what could be improved, what went well, what didn't go well, and anything they want to bring up.
