About the adventure
You died. Maybe it was noble. Maybe it was foolish. Maybe it wasn’t even your fault. But death wasn’t the end. Under the pale shimmer of the Crooked Moon, something stirred. You awoke—changed. Perhaps reborn as one of the strange new peoples of this world: fiery Ashborn, tree-bodied Gnarlborn, cursed wolf-like Curseborn, skeletal Relicborn, and more. Or perhaps you remained as you were, clinging to the last threads of your former self. Choose from new subclasses. Either way, your ticket was punched. Now you ride the Ghostlight Express, a spectral train that cuts through the veil between worlds, bound for the haunted city of Druskenvald. There, the dead walk, the moon weeps, and fate itself can be rewritten—if you dare. This is a campaign of second chances and shadowed legacies. Of mythic rebirth, eldritch railways, and the question that haunts every soul aboard: Who were you before you died—and who will you become now? Board the train. Rewrite your story. The Crooked Moon is watching.

About me
A lifelong devotee of Dungeons & Dragons since the early days of 1980, I’ve worn every hat the game offers—player, storyteller, worldbuilder, and Dungeon Master. My tables are built on a foundation of rules, but they’re elevated by the rule of cool: if it’s cinematic, clever, or just plain awesome, it deserves a place in the story.

Creating your character
Players will create a level 1 character in DNDBeyond or Roll20 before or during the first session. All published sources are fine, and homebrew must be approved by me. Session 0 is Free!

What Mike brings to the table
My tables are built on a foundation of rules, but they’re elevated by the rule of cool: if it’s cinematic, clever, or just plain awesome, it deserves a place in the story. Whether guiding heroes through mythic quests or rolling dice as a player myself, I believe D&D is at its best when it’s dramatic, collaborative, and just a little bit unpredictable. After all, the game isn’t just about stats—it’s about stories that linger long after the final roll.
Homebrew rules
Critical Hits (the Perkins Crit system): You maximize the normal damage and roll the critical damage.

How Mike creates a safe table
Reviewed in session 0 This will be an open door game, if you need to take a break, for any reason, please do so!! All I ask, is you use the built in Foundry VTT break tool. -Any use of "out of character" Racism, Sexism, or Discrimination or Personal Attacks of any kind will get you banned. -Players who do these things repeatedly "in character" are discouraged/warned/and subject to being (quickly) kicked or banned. -If you do not follow the “Fade to Black” rule you will be kicked or banned. **Fade to Black Rule** During the game, if there is ever an event, situation, or anything that as a player makes you feel uncomfortable Please use the “Fade to Black” button . I will not ask, I will not judge, I will take control and respect the players concern. Game will resume after mediation and resolution of players concerns.
