About the adventure
Beneath the Crooked Moon is a dark fantasy folk-horror campaign using Dungeons & Dragons 5e, based on the third-party module The Crooked Moon by Legends of Avantris. This game leans into eerie atmosphere, slow-burn dread, and morally uncomfortable choices rather than heroic power fantasy. You will explore isolated settlements, haunted forests, and places where superstition and truth blur together. The world feels old, watchful, and deeply personal. Monsters aren’t just things to fight... they are reflections of fear, memory, and belief. Not everything wants to kill you. Some things want you to understand them. This campaign prioritizes: Immersive roleplay and mood Investigation, folklore, and creeping tension Consequence-driven choices Survival horror pacing with moments of violence and desperation Combat exists, but it is dangerous and meaningful. Running, bargaining, hiding, or making terrible compromises are often the smarter options. Characters will be challenged emotionally as much as mechanically. This game is best for players who enjoy horror, narrative weight, and collaborative storytelling. You don’t need to be a horror expert. You only need to be willing to engage with unsettling themes, respect table boundaries, and lean into the unknown. Expect a tone that is bleak, strange, and quietly intimate. The woods are listening. The Moon is crooked. And something ancient is waiting for you to notice.

About me
Hey you! I'm Neo! I'm a Forever DM that loves to tell an amazing story that has adventure and diversity at the forefront! I started hosting games during the pandemic because I wanted to tell a story to my friends while we were cuddled up in our homes. Since then I have led actual plays and become a homebrew designer and world builder. I also wrote the Nightskins Race for Dungeons and Dragons 5e I hope you'll come play with me!
