About the adventure
There, in a crooked house lives a Crooked Man with a crooked grin. He raises crooked arms to a Crooked Tree at the edge of midnight and hears the whispers of the Old Ones. They speak of a beast that stalks the darkest woods and darkest hearts, a crown of horns upon its head. If you lose your way and feel a warm breath that chills you to the bone, run. Follow the songs of harvest time, and before long, you’ll find revelry in the dancing shadows of blazing wicker. No matter your story, these lonesome, misty rails will deliver you to where the hallowed cannot save you. Now is the time to brave the dark wood, beware the witching hour, and weave your own dreadful folktale underneath the Crooked Moon.

How shevek1312 creates a safe table
💅 Table Culture 💅 The community we've cultivated over the past several years has found themselves nestled in with fiction-forward, collaborative, RAWish style games. A risky choice with help from a friend for the things there aren't always rules for always feels like it leads to unexpected greatness. We often find ourselves using the good bones of a module while still having space to flex into unique stories. I'm just here to play as the world while you all connect the dots of your stories. Content + Safety Utilizing safety tools helps cultivate a positive and inclusive gaming space. Helping our partymates be awesome dovetails nicely here. We will utilize a checklist based on the TTRPG Safety Toolkit (Lines + Veils), open door policy, and stars + wishes. Non-featured content: harm to children or domestic creatures, explicit sexuality, sexual assault, systemic racism, homophobia, or transphobia. Allegories of racial prejudice + bioessentialism have been cut from official settings. ✋Zero tolerance policy for harassment or discrimination based on race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation, or experience level. Please don't attend sessions under the influence of any substance to a noticeable degree. GM reserves the right to remove you from session if this becomes the case. GM reserves the right to remove a player immediately if violating any of these ground rules. 📏I run primarily Rules as Written (RAW), but I'm happy to ask 'what serves the story in this moment?'
