About the adventure
Beneath the light of a crooked moon, the land of Druskenvald festers with superstition, curses, and things best left unseen. Your journey begins aboard the ghostly Ghostlight Express, carrying you into a realm of haunted villages, brooding forests, and folklore come to life. Can you unravel the secrets of Wickermoor Hollow before the shadows claim you as their own? If you like adventures such as Curse of Strahd, Over the Garden Wall, The Witch, The Wicker Man, or “autumn nightmare” fantasy, this is probably in your lane.

About me
Hello there! My name is Frank and I have been playing D&D for over 40 years (oh boy! That's a long time). I started playing in 1983 when my friends and I bought the original red box, not knowing what the game was about at the time. I just wanted to try something new and that red dragon on the cover looked SO cool. Since then, I've logged thousands of hours as a player and behind the GM screen running games for friends, family, local game stores, conferences such as GenCon and PAX, and professional games online. What to expect? - I bring to the table access to my DnDBeyond content and use the Beyond20 extension to push rolls on DnDBeyond to Roll20. - I prefer to run published modules but will heavily homebrew them and go off the rails for the stories to fit your character's backstories. - I spend many hours preparing for each session and you'll be able to tell - I bring lots of VTT maps from multiple sources and also lots of Roll20 addons and other fun stuff So, if you're looking for a group that's as much about role-play as it is about dungeon crawling, this is the place for you.

Creating your character
During session 0, I will review my D&D house rules and we'll create your character together on D&D Beyond (stats are rolled in public) and discuss background, backstory, etc. I like to incorporate the backstories into the adventure along the way. You can prepare by thinking about what type of character you'd like to play. ******* WE WILL START AT LEVEL 2 ******* Druskenvald is home to an otherworldly variety of peoples, all reborn from the spirits of the departed who found their ways to this land of moon and mists. For your character, you will select one of the 13 species from the Crooked Moon campaign setting.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
1) We'll be on Discord so you must have a good mic and headset. Webcam is not mandatory. 2) Sign onto my Discord server (I'll send you the link once you sign up). I use Discord to communicate in and out of the game. 3) If you don't have one, make a free account on Roll20. It's what I use as a Virtual Tabletop to display maps, tokens, etc.
What Frank brings to the table
- I bring over four decades of DM'ing experience - You will have access to my compendium on D&D Beyond - I have my own Discord server with channels set up just for this game. - I bring music and atmosphere through Tabletop Audio (you do not need an account) - You'll hear tons of NPCs with silly voices - A sense of humor, fun, and a desire to see my players succeed

How Frank creates a safe table
During session 0, we will discuss the campaign setting and you'll get a general idea of what to expect. This will be a good opportunity to share your expectations with me. At mid-point during the game, we will take a 10 minutes break to stretch. After each session, I will ask you to share your stars and wishes. What did you like? What you didn't like? What would you like to change for the next session?
