About the adventure

At the stroke of midnight, a ghastly fog rolls in, and with it, the blast of a haunting train whistle that sounds more like a choir of wailing souls. When the old black locomotive rolls out of the gloom, you know deep in your trembling heart that you have a one-way ticket to the afterlife. The Ghostlight Express thunders its call, and it’s time for you to hop aboard. Regardless for your reason for finding yourself at this ghostly train stop Whatever your reason for boarding, one thing is certain: Something is about to go horribly wrong. Your train will soon derail into Wickermoor Hollow—a cursed valley where the days are short, the moon is strange, and the woods whisper secrets not meant for the sane or living. Something dark and ancient threatens the twilight sanctuary Duskvald provides. Session Zero Is Free Before we brave the mist together, you’ll join a free Session Zero to explore your character’s story, review table expectations, and meet your fellow doomed souls ⚠️ Safety First Folk horror brushes against fear, folklore, and fatalism. We'll use lines and veils, X-cards, and regular check-ins to ensure every player feels safe, respected, and heard. 🌑 Will you light your way though the dark or Join the shadows? This is your folktale. It may be tragic. It may be strange. It will not be forgotten. Welcome to The Crooked Moon.

About me

Hi I'm Luna, 27, and go by she/her. Absolutely addicted to manhua and anything cultivation related lol. I've been a player of d&d for close to 9 years at this point, and GMing professionally for over a year now alongside friends and family through vtt's like roll20 and foundry. If you decide to join one of my worlds I can guarantee that you will have a blast at any of my tables, with fully alive worlds, and plenty of roleplay and interactions to be found in every corner. This guarantee is one of the few things i pride myself on. So much so that ill happily offer a full refund for the session, if anyone isn't enjoying themselves/ the world.

Character creation

Creating your character

We will be starting at lvl 1 over on roll20. As for character creation, we can schedule a time that fits your schedule and do introductions, discuss personal goals and desires for what you want to see in the campaign, and then get at least a basic outline for the character you would like to play. Once everyone has their characters decided and we have enough people to start, we will then have session 0 on the next week on the set game day/time. Then everyone can introduce themselves at the table, go over what they are playing. Then to wrap it up, I like to make sure everyone is okay with the themes, and understands how the safety systems work.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Should have a discord/roll20 account made, and atleast an okay computer/internet.

What Azalea ravenwood brings to the table

I bring the books, Utilize ambient music to make a good atmosphere, and try my best with voices. Personally love the rule of cool, and prefer a healthy mix mostly raw but depending on the mood/atmosphere a little bit of cool helps make everyone feel more epic/important during those more dire moments.

Homebrew rules

You can drink a potion as a bonus action, but get half the effects. So a stadard healing would do 1d4 instead of 2d4 (imagine trying to drink a bottle of water mid sprint downhill. your going to get some water, but not able to chug the whole thing.) My Biggest homebrew rule is that I love creativity and imagination in all my games. So creative idea's or good moments/roleplay will give inspiration. Players can also nominate a moment as being Inspiration worthy. With inspiration, you can reroll any d20 roll, regardless of skill check, attack or even some silly character moments where you really want it to succeed.

Safety

How Azalea ravenwood creates a safe table

During session 0, I will ask everyone for their lines and vales, explain the X, N, & O cards, as well as doing an aftercare time for every session to get general feedback and what to work on for the next session to make it feel better/safer.
