About the adventure
🎃 A Halloween-Inspired Folk Horror Campaign 🚆 Ride the Ghost Train into the Afterlife 🐈⬛ Discover New Species, Subclasses, and Feats 🌕 Roleplay-Heavy and Character-Driven 📖 A Deep, Emotional Story Crafted Around YOU 💀 Optional Post-Game Content up to Level 20 🕯️ “The moon hangs wrong in the sky… and something watches from the dark.” Welcome to Druskenvald — a haunted realm between the living and the dead. Here, the night never ends, the forests whisper forgotten names, and every shadow hides something that remembers you. You awaken aboard a ghost train, bound for nowhere, with no memory of who you once were — only the faint ache of a life lost. In this place of the dead, the light of the crooked moon never fades. You must aid the restless souls of Druskenvald, face horrors that crawl from beneath the soil, and uncover the truth behind the moon’s curse before it devours what remains of the realm. The question is not if you will die again... but what you’ll become when you do. 🌑 What Awaits You 🕯️ Explore haunted villages, cursed woodlands, and endless midnight skies 🐺 Battle horrors drawn from myth 🎭 Discover new species, subclasses, feats, and backgrounds 💀 Choose how your lost soul adapts — and what it will sacrifice to live again 🎲 Experience an evolving story that reacts to your characters’ pasts and choices 🌙 ALL ABOARD! Step aboard the Ghost Train. The bell tolls. The moon bends. And Druskenvald is waiting for you beneath the crooked sky.

About me
Hi! I'm Maiya, an artist, game designer, and professional Game Master. I started running D&D 5e games for my friends and immediately fell in love with the medium. Since then, I’ve branched out into systems like Cyberpunk RED and Daggerheart, crafted collaborative fantasy worlds, and even been developing my own TTRPG system. To me, tabletop RPGs are a way to express creativity and bring stories to life with others. I often find myself talking with players daily about upcoming sessions and what we’re all excited to explore next. TTRPGs have been deeply meaningful to me, helping to heal my soul and giving me a creative outlet I can share with the world. Growing up in the USA and spending three years in Japan has also greatly influenced my storytelling and artistic vision. In my games, I prioritize collaborative storytelling, crafting worlds and stories together with my players. I love roleplay-heavy sessions with immersive storytelling, but when combat occurs, it’s challenging and high-stakes, making every encounter feel intense and meaningful.

What Maiya brings to the table
All the content I own via D&D Beyond. Immersive ambient music. Including all the crooked moon additions for FREE! I provide a story with characters first, meaning every character's story is intertwined with the main plot.
Homebrew rules
Flexible Initiative: Allows the players to choose each round who will act next. The rounds work as a back-and-forth between the players and the DM. This makes combat significantly faster, gives more player agency, and keeps everyone engaged.

Safety
How Maiya creates a safe table
During Session 0, we will review all the safety tools and agree to a code of conduct. This will outline all rules and topics that we want to be off-topic; no exceptions! I also make strong use of the X, N, & O system, where a player can PM any of these at any time to interrupt the session and allow me to change course. My sessions are always against any hate speech of any kind.
