The Crooked Moon - 5e Folk Horror

About the adventure

“It was odd, how everyone spoke of it, as though it were one single event. The time when the county had turned upside down and all rules of logic were discarded out of the windows of reason. ... That one single night, seemed to unleash something rather otherworldly on the community. It was then that the autumn harvests began to mysteriously die and wither. It was then that hushed rumors began about deformed cattle, milk curdled and sour eggs were yielded from the chickens. When people began speaking of shadows lurking in their hallways, and voices outside of their windows at night.” ― Jaime Allison Parker, River at the World's Dawn Come play The Crooked Moon, a dark folk horror campaign that takes place in the afterlife, in a cursed land called Druskenvald.
