A Crooked Moon Adventure: The Dead Man's Hour

Creating your character

Characters begin at level 3 as any standard, non-Crooked Moon species, you're building a person from the world of the living, not a Druskenvald native, so pick whatever fits the person you want to play before everything changes. Point buy or standard array, your choice. Write me at least a paragraph of background and you'll walk away with one uncommon magic item. Once your character crosses through the Shroud into Druskenvald, their species transforms into one of the realm's thirteen native peoples: gnarlborn, relicborn, curseborn, and so on. This isn't a reroll: what you become reflects who your character was and how they died (or didn't), and we'll work out together which of the thirteen fits your arc before it happens, so the moment lands instead of feeling random. All official and partnered D&D Beyond content is shared and available, including the full Crooked Moon species, subclasses, and feats, you're encouraged to dig into what's new here rather than default to what you already know.

What Davi brings to the table

I've been running games long enough to know the difference between a session that gets talked about for a week and one that gets forgotten by Tuesday. This campaign is built the way a good TV season is built: every arc has a real ending, every villain has a reason you'll understand even when you hate them, and nothing gets dragged out just to fill a slot on the calendar. Foundry VTT with proper maps, dynamic lighting, and tokens built for the moment, not stock art dropped in last minute. Discord for voice, chat, and the between-session chatter that makes a table feel like a group of friends instead of a weekly appointment. Full content sharing on D&D Beyond so nothing is ever locked behind a book you don't own. Combat that means something: chases with a clock running, sieges where the map itself is the danger, boss fights against people with a real stake in beating you. Investigation that actually goes somewhere every single time you dig, because there's nothing worse than clues that lead nowhere. And a story that remembers what you did three sessions ago and makes you deal with it. Fifty-plus sessions is a long time to spend with a table. I want it to feel earned.

Homebrew rules

Potions in a heartbeat: Drinking a potion is a bonus action. Take the full action instead and skip the roll entirely, take max healing. Death saves are mine, not yours: I roll them in secret. You won't know exactly how close you came until it's over. Scrolls for everyone: Any class can attempt a spell scroll with an Intelligence (Arcana) check (DC 10 + spell level). Fail, and the scroll's gone.

How Davi creates a safe table

This is a folk horror table, and it's built to unsettle, the warnings below tell you what's present, not how often or how deep it runs, so please read them seriously before signing up. Session 0 is a full session: expectations, safety tools, and character connections, before a single die is rolled. Lines and Veils are collected individually and pinned in Discord. We take a real break partway through every session, and do Stars & Wishes regularly so I know what's landing. Message me anytime between sessions if something needs addressing sooner than that.
