About the adventure
A lonely fiddle plays in the fog. A train whistle answers. Tonight, each of you finds a strange silver-lettered ticket in your possession, though none of you remember buying it. Then the Ghostlight Express arrives, a spectral locomotive that carries the dead, the lost, and the unlucky between the realms of life and death. The conductor smiles. The doors open. Your destination has already been chosen. At first, this seems like a strange journey through the mist, filled with ghostly passengers, forgotten souls, and secrets hiding in every train car. But something wicked has slipped aboard. A crooked shade is sabotaging the train, corrupting the spirits that fuel it, and pulling everyone toward a crash landing in a haunted land beneath the Crooked Moon. Board the train. Solve the mystery. Save the passengers. Survive the last stop.

About me
Hi! I’m Angel (He/Him), a passionate D&D 5e Game Master with over 6 years of experience running online tabletop RPG sessions. I specialize in beginner-friendly D&D games that help new players learn in a supportive, low-pressure environment while still giving veteran players exciting stories, meaningful choices, and memorable character moments. I’ve also had the opportunity to play and run games for companies at conventions, which has helped me create tables that are welcoming, organized, and fun for players with different experience levels. At my table, I balance being a fair rules referee with being your biggest cheerleader when you come up with a clever plan, dramatic speech, or heroic last stand. My games focus on collaborative storytelling, roleplay, exploration, cinematic combat, and player choice. If you’re looking for a welcoming online D&D campaign where imagination matters more than rules-lawyering, you’ve found your table.

Creating your character
Level 2 characters. I'll give you a link to my campaign on DnDBeyond to create your character in. For stats, you either use standard array, or points buy. If you want to roll for your stats. You'll need to do it with screen sharing with me able to see the outcomes in real time. No non official homebrews. So no Super Saiyans or Sailor Scouts that someone fanfiction on DnDBeyond. But Stranger Things, Crooked Moon are officially recognized. So they would be allowed if you have access to it.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
DnDBeyond DnDBeyond VTT(Virtual Tabletop) compatible device Discord DnDBeyond account and ability to see the DnDBeyond VTT, Discord, Microphone are all you really need. If you are a newbie. I'm willing to do session 0 or talk through Discord on helping you with your character. Please make them level 2. Level 1 is too squashie for beginners. Creating character. Anything that is official with DnDBeyond is okay. Sorry, no Saiyans, or Sailor Scouts.
What Angel brings to the table
Rule of Cool. I'll keep to the rules, but prefer working off vibes to create a better experience. DnDBeyond VTT for visual players to move tokens around on map. Discord Dedicated Channels for NPC, Monster, items and other pictures to see more of what is being described. Combat is alive - I don't just attack and it's your turn, and you attack. You will work for the win. But you will feel the accomplishment more. As the battle will be immersive.
Homebrew rules
Rule of Cool I reward creativity. But I may use that same cool idea later on the party. Not punishment, just like to keep things vibrant. RAW Rules will be used unless a ruling can't be decided. Then I'll make final court as Judge Angel (Judge, Jury, Executioner)
